      General consensus has been that the Rift will launch with more games than the Vive, but it looks like they'll be about even.

        No the consensus has always been that the Rift will launch with more games that are exclusive to it. I am sure there will be plenty of Vive only (room scale) games, but the amount is pretty small at the moment.

          Well, vive only for initial release - Oculus was demoing some like Fantastic contraption running on Touch this week.

            Yeah, same with Job Simulator. I think most games will work on the Oculus Touch if devs want to support it, and I think a lot of them do. Granted there will be a better experience on Vive for some games because of the whole room scale thing, but the point is "Vive only" isn't really much of a thing.

              Rift is capable of room scale as well.

              rift can do room scale, no idea where this "rift can't do room scale" thing came from.

                It is more about the fact that it doesn't have Chaperone (yet) and the details are pretty quiet. I think once the Touch is coming out there will be a lot more specifications and (hopefully) their version of Chaperone.

                It still has tracking issues, supposedly along the floor.

              When you're talking Touch specific games I doubt you'll see much difference in either headset - I don't expect either vive or oculus will particularly dominate in performance at room scale (again, once you're talking about Touch).

            Yeah but the dev was talking on Reddit about the Oculus version being only 180 degrees while The Vive version is 360 / rook scale. Can anyone trying the Oculus demo at GDC confirm that?
