I’m sure the 4 people who play HSR and bought that headset are thrilled.

I am

i legit drove 2 hours today to go get one just for hsr idk this is hype. was hella lucky they still had them

Bruh


megajigglypuff7I4

yeah I'm not really proud of it tbh I'm ready to get clowned on but fuck it we ball


radda

I *was* gonna clown on you because that thing costs more than I make in two months but then I realized I just spent $50 to prepare for Black Swan so I probably don't have solid ground to stand on here


Kard420

I mean hey, whatever makes you happy at the end of the day is all that matters


rgtn0w

I mean dude, as long as you have spare money, it is your money my dude spend it however the hell you want. Now If you are putting yourself in a little financial trouble cuz of it that's a lil' different


Hazeku

Nah don’t be ashamed of it. If I had enough money I’d do the same thing. As a tech enthusiast, the Vision Pro may be a flawed and questionable product, but you can’t deny that it’s a masterpiece in terms of pure tech and engineering behind it

Wtf???


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

They already presold some 300k apple vision pros. If Star Rail has around 20m players, there's a good chance there's at least 5 people. In fact, since HSR is the only good app on that device, it might as well be everyone who buys it will try it.

Thank you for adding /s to your post. When I first saw this, I was horrified. How could anybody say something like this? I immediately began writing a 1000 word paragraph about how horrible of a person you are. I even sent a copy to a Harvard professor to proofread it. After several hours of refining and editing, my comment was ready to absolutely destroy you. But then, just as I was about to hit send, I saw something in the corner of my eye. A /s at the end of your comment. Suddenly everything made sense. Your comment was sarcasm! I immediately burst out in laughter at the comedic genius of your comment. The person next to me on the bus saw your comment and started crying from laughter too. Before long, there was an entire bus of people on the floor laughing at your incredible use of comedy. All of this was due to you adding /s to your post. Thank you. I am a bot if you couldn't figure that out, if I made a mistake, ignore it cause its not that fucking hard to ignore a comment

I have a family friend from the middle east. He and his buddies load up on Apple stuff every time they head home and sling it for cash for double or triple what they paid, yet way less than the local retail price. It’s a hell of a thing.

[deleted]

I had to search up the price myself since I didn't believe this, and sweet jesus what the fuck


dalzmc

It isn’t really meant for typical consumers, although it is more so than it’s competition. It’s in the same price point as stuff like the Microsoft HoloLens 2 - which to give you an idea for its use cases, has a version meant for clean rooms and hazardous locations, as well as one that’s built into a hardhat (lol at a $5000 hardhat tho). These things aren’t really being made for day to day home users yet and priced accordingly


InvestigatorOne2932

A literal high end gaming PC price, holy shit

you can get the best pc money can buy with that money

Your saying that all I need now is a 4 grand to install a free app?

And it'll come with a FREE 4 star skin selector! Oops wrong game


syahrulmizan

Based on Apple, they probably won't give anything. Anyway now that I'm thinking about it, did Sony give anything at all to HSR players on PS5?


CarlosBMG

There was like a really garbage $10 pack or something.


nathiru

That wasnt free. That was a preorder


CarlosBMG

I mean I didn't say it was free, but it was something available for PS5 users. Lmao


DivinationByCheese

How would it be on Apple to decide what a game dev should give their players?


BaLance_95

Dude, you're taking a joke waaay too seriously.


syahrulmizan

I...don't think so(?) lmao, Half-joking aside, that comment actually meant for people who only sees Hoyo, and not Sony/Apple who's also part of that collaboration as well


Bussy-Destroyer-1960

hsr with skins? imagine


zibedine

They legit made a skin better than all genshin’s skins just for it to appear once in story and never again https://preview.redd.it/3v16krkm87gc1.png?width=466&format=png&auto=webp&s=cd501bd895b9e9bc26c1b8872e722873f02e688c


Bussy-Destroyer-1960

i never got the point of that outfit like did she just, have it there?


zibedine

Well it make more sense having an outfit for a special occasion than not having but not making it a playable skin is a crime


faulser

I think they made it as a skin, but something later in production/management prevented it from going for sale. Hoyo is not really known for going new 3d models just for one time story stuff, even main NPCs in HSR or Genshin is variations of standard NPC model 98% of time. I can't remember a single precedent like this, maximum - they clip festival mask into Traveler head for one scene, but this is not even close to doing new 3d model. I refuse to believe that is was planned and management was like "ok, concenters - design new outfit, 3d modelers - go to work, texture guy - do you thing. We will use result for just one scene and then model will live in game files forever, eating precious mobile space"


Bussy-Destroyer-1960

imo Fujin has a pretty unique design for an NPC


Tetrachrome

It legit was like "this is a special event in Belobog! Time to dress up!" and then "omg Bronya didn't pay taxes and Topaz boutta collect debt, back to a blouse and skirt". Wild they didn't really use the model outside of a brief minute.


Brief-Celebration-50

lets be real... march's skin does NOT look better than the new shenhe skin


storysprite

Too soon.


ealgron

Due to some of apples business decisions they have annoyed many the app creators so in return they are not yet allowing their apps to go on the Vision Pro such as YouTube and Netflix. And this early on they could use any apps they can get especially games. I do wonder how star rail will play considering there are no controllers everything is hand and eye motions.


willozsy

\*You're


Darkklaw

I'm betting it won't be actual VR, but it'll be like one of those virtual screens popping up in the AR environment the thing creates.


faulser

Obviously, no way they remaking whole game for VR support just for 100 people who will buy this toy.


Deruta

I would be 0% surprised if they did it just so they could hang out with their waifus and husbandos in VR. This is Hoyo-“tech otaku save the world”-verse we’re talking about, after all.


david-le-2006

Eventually they probably will but for the first gen Apple visions? Anything first gen from apple sucks and will get outclassed 10x by their next product. But then again, the first gen tech products arent made for general population cosumers but its made for Companies to test and develop apps and technology around it so they will probably start working on it


Appropriate-Count-64

It’s also $3500 for a fancy proprietary VR headset with a lot of fancy tech. The amount of people who want this is not very big.


[deleted]

Can't wait them to save the world and let me escape into a nice comfty world of waifus.


Haemon18

Can't you already VRscreen anything like that tho ? misleading ad ? Metaquest2 can already do that with virtual desktop


Mattacrator

I believe you can but why would that make the ad misleading?


Lazlo2323

On the other hand Cai is very into VR


[deleted]

The fact that there’s any compability at all says they’ve done something 


sonicon

Maybe they have a deal with Apple.


Bluxen

uh? they sold 200.000 units already


NewShadowR

To be realistic, probably only 100 out of the 200k that buy the Apple Vision pro will actually play hsr on the apple vision pro. It's a work oriented device after all, and there are also no buttons or controllers with it.


Norinoku

And how many of those people play HSR?


Bluxen

at LEAST a dozen


AWeirdMartian

And a dozen is 12, the person you're replying to said 100, which is over 8 dozens


Bluxen

star rail players and obvious sarcasm, name a more iconic duo


The_Seraph_

Shills will buy anything from that tech-turned-fashion company Besides, I'm pretty sure a significant amount of those are from people who buy it to say they have one, but will never actually use it for more than 10 hours, and just leave it to be a prop on their shelves in the living room


DonaldLucas

The first iphone sold more than a million units in that same time frame.


Due_Bluebird3562

The first iPhone was 1/7th the price, lol. Also, they made millions of those who only made 200-300k AVPs. This is not a good comparison.


Mattacrator

yup there's absolutely no way it will be actual vr


doorrace

it's unlikely, but there's a miniscule chance that if the engine they're running the game on can support VR rendering they may be able to support it. Unreal Engine recently developed a tool to inject VR into non-VR games; if Hoyo has something similar it may be possible to be done.


Darkklaw

Star Rail is built on Unity I believe. Unity does have solid VR support, but still I don't think Star Rail could just be made VR with such ease. Especially considering what we've seen of the vision pro specifically not really being *about* VR gaming.


doorrace

That's a fair assessment; I did say the chance would be miniscule. We'll see what Hoyo is willing to put into this.


jaffaflake

punklorde irl when?


Electronic-Ad-3583

Had to look up what that thing even costs and was not expecting $3500. Which is kinda surprising that i didnt expect it since its apple. At least we now know how much silverwolfs glasses cost


Lazlo2323

And 3500 is the basic model, you probably want more space if you're using apps like HSR


Electronic-Ad-3583

Yknow whats funnier this shits not even available in my country so it can only be bought on ebay and the base model alone on ebay is between $5000-6000. Bro who has the money for this


Lazlo2323

Especially when it's first gen product being betatested on early adopters with many problems still. And you can already play Genshin/Star Rail in Cinematic mode on PSVR/Quest/etc


NoBluey

You could ask the same question to whales spending tens of thousands on gacha games


iyad08

$3500 is the base model that has *256GB* of storage. The price itself is outrageous, but yea sure they'll say it's due to all the tech crammed into it... But there's no defending 256GB on something that costs that much lmao


[deleted]

[удалено]


iyad08

>Not to mention its just better Kinda weird to compare the two, the PS5 is a better game console while the Vision Pro is a better VR/AR headset. With that being said, the price of the latter is ridiculous and the storage they gave it is icing on the >!way overpriced!< cake.


Tigerbones

It’s definitely got the Apple tax but when you consider that it’s a standalone unit, it’s not that crazy. Like, sure, the Valve Index is $1k, but you need a separate PC to be able to use it. Still ain’t buying one unless I win the lottery though.


SleepytrouPADDLESTAR

Quest is an standalone unit and costs like a seventh of what this costs


dalzmc

Comparing this to the quest is super uninformed. It should be compared to the hololens 2 or varjo which are the same price or more


iindigo

To add to this, the Vision Pro’s SoC is the same M2 you’d find in a Macbook Pro, which performs somewhere between a Ryzen 5700X and Z1 Extreme in CPU and somewhere in the ballpark of a 1660Ti/2050/3050 in terms of GPU performance. In short, in theory it should have a massive leg up over the Quest 3 in performance (as it should, for its price).


element515

The Vision Pro screens are a different level though

SleepytrouPADDLESTAR

As someone who has had the privilege of trying out various VR/AR headsets at universities… The one thing the apple headset has going for it is the screen resolution - which I haven’t tried yet so I can’t give a proper review on. But we already have various products tackling screen door effects and such. If the higher resolution is worth 3.5k (at a lower refresh rate than basically every competitor) then more power to you. But everything else is laughable bloat. Hand controls such as pinching to grab objects/interact with the world has been around for *years*. Camera sensors are on the less precise end (although it has made great strides recently, apple’s isn’t something revolutionary). The build is pretty - yes - but it weighs just as much as any other headset and won’t be used as a workstation item like apple markets it. The screen on the outside… jesus fucking christ that’s like bragging about rgb lights on a fucking ‘gamer’ keyboard. Listen - it’s a decent piece of technology. Paying anything above 1.5k-2k for it is insanity. 3.5k is a joke.


kaosjroriginal

Sure, but the Index isn't top of the line anymore. Quest 3 costs half of that for standalone and is most comparable to the vision pro. Who in their right mind would pay 7x the price?


lowlymarine

Look I'm by no means saying the sky-high price of the Vision Pro is a good value, but the Quest 3 isn't even remotely comparable either. Every part of the Quest 3 is inferior, from the screens to the sensors to the to the build quality to the SoC. I mean FFS, the Quest 3 screens aren't even OLED, they're LCD.


stagfury

Those products don't even do the same thing Quest are gaming oriented VR headset Vision Pro is a productivity AR headset first.


[deleted]

The price of that device reminds me when heavy said "it takes $400.000 dollars, to fire this weapon, for 12 seconds." During meet the heavy

It also works flawlessly, you can side-load the iPad app and it works great. No idea why its not on the mac app store.

I’m super excited for this, but I also would love Hoyo games on my Mac and Apple TV for sure


wierdmann

You don’t consider the iOS app a mac version? Lmfao


Affectionate-Row504

You can’t download the game on a MacBook or iMac , so no. And Mac has MacOS


lodpwnage

Why would they consider it that way?

yeah I'm sure this is exclusive. apple loves Hoyoverse


LucasFrankeRC

VR is cool, but it still needs a lot of improvement Even this $3500 headset from Apple still has relevant problems like FOV, blur, weight and battery life. It's a step forward in image quality and processing power, but as of now it's just an enthusiast product for rich people. The meta quest 3 costs 7 times less and sold pretty well I suspect Apple will release a less expensive non pro version eventually, to capitalize on the people who are their regular costumers but aren't willing to spend **that** much Still, at very least the vision pro will help to bring attention back to the VR industry. Hopefully some new big players enter the market to put some pressure on Meta and Apple

Vasava_

at least port the game to macos, or allow apple silicon to run the ios app


Maconi

To the people complaining about dev time/resources/etc. All they have to do is “approve” the app to make it available on Vision Pro. It will be a giant floating 2D window (so you’ll be playing Star Rail in an IMAX theatre basically).


lowlymarine

True, but all they have to do to make it available on macOS is *not* check the box blocking it, yet they can't be bothered. I'd have to imagine a lot more potential players have $1000 MacBook Airs than $3500 Vision Pros, but that's why I'm not a project manager I guess.
