I just got into VR recently with the PSVR2 adding PC compatibility. For what the headset cost on sale I'm blown away. So far have been playing PS titles and super happy. I'm hyped for where this is going. Also. Xreal glasses on the plane ftw. I barely used my steam deck until I got the xreal, now I'm playing it on every flight 😂
@@Gamingwithmatteo311 If you could buy a version with no screen and just a place to store the wearable screen, I would be on board haha. Deck Neck is a real thing.
People can complain a lot about Zuckerberg, but his compassion for VR and his funding has driven VR to an unknown hight. Now millions of people have headsets, it's time to make good games.
Yeah I see a lot of people hating on him. But dude is willing to hemorrhage billions of dollars. Vr would be a lot worse off without him. Personally I think he’s on a redemption arc(politically speaking)
It was a heavily modified version of Unreal Engine 4 if I remember correctly. So I doubt other devs would have access to it. Red matter 2 was also a very, very slow paced puzzle game, so anything faster would likely not work to a similar effect.
@dplagoon they did an amazing job but one thing that made it either is the lack of many mechanics like physics, combat ect. They introduced some basic combat in the 2nd game but the overall lack of mechanics gives extra headroom
Playing Red Matter 2 through to the end on Q3 made me feel like I was in a sci-fi film and I mean that in a good way. I understand that a fast paced, hectic game just couldn't have quite the same level of polish on standalone hardware at the moment but I'd like to see some kind of horror title using the same game engine.
Great video Matteo, I’m a VR newbie, buying my 1st headset a month ago (meta quest 3) and I’m totally addicted to VR. I love it! If it wasn’t for meta there is no way I would have ever been able to afford to get into VR so I think they are good for the industry and have introduced VR to a whole new audience. Keep up the good work, love the channel.
VR has had such hype for so long since it taps into the starry eyed child in us all. “Just think of the possibilities”. But, the process to realize those possibilities is hard, and will take time. There’s just a hope that can’t die.
I really wanna look back one year from the launch of the Quest 3S and Batman Arkham Shadow, and see how things grow and evolve for the industry and community over that year.
i have around 300+ hours in Skyrim VR (fully modded) and i cant seem to stop! that and MS flight sim still rule VR for me. when they can make stand alone games like them, i will be there. but for now they all seem shallow in comparison. The issue that i see with people getting into PCVR is that it is not plug and play. It took me a while to get things working and running good. by a while i mean weeks.. and i am what most consider tech-savvy. also, it takes some time to adjust to VR. I had to do short sessions for the first while until I got to where I feel no negative effects. now i can play for hours at a time. Most people that i let try it for the first time like it for about 15mins then have to take them off. I'm sure that discourages some people from ever buying them.
I am beyond excited for batman arkham shadow. I am a big arkham fan, I have been playing the games for years over and over again. I got my quest 3 last year for christmas and that was the best gift I ever got, the updates on the quest 3 have been amazing, and the mixed reality got so much better over the next few months. I am so excited to play all the new BIG vr games!
I keep making this same argument to people about Quest. In the next 3 to 5 years, we could be seeing Half Life Alyx quality games on Quest, and Batman looks like it's the first real step in that direction. It looks like proof that Meta's strategy is working.
Pcvr has a high barrier of entry... Meta made vr approachable by reducing the amount of steps to experience it and making pc vr an option and not a requirement. Not that I am trying to be a cheerleader for Meta, but it should be noted they have to attract developers to make content for the platform as a viable area to generate revenue. Also, because VR is very resource intensive, the approach for development has to be performance first, then visual fidelity afterwards in order to ship on multiple platforms.
Those are just facts I have powerful PC and yet I prefer Quest. Because I grab it and I and I am good to go. And anywhere... Sure stuff like Alex or B&S are awesome or on PC, but Quest is just killing it ...
@@cparoli1111? What? They mainstreamed mobile pc free standalone headsets. They are working on cloud pc integration to bring back the library of PCVR to give more options to quest 2-3 users.
I didn't even know there was a Doom and Wolfenstien vr. I am thankful for Meta, though! I don't know if I'd be here if it wasn't for them. I'm extremely curious about Valves' possible stand-alone VR. Will it be a stand-alone capable of low end pcvr?
Good VR games are needed but more importantly a constant flow of good games is vital to grow VR. Still believe hybrid games are the best path forward for companies and consumers. Also, agree with you that VR will not really take off until the form factor becomes less obtrusive like being a pair of glasses.
I am proof that Meta is working. I stopped using Facebook and was never going to buy into the PCVR ecosystem. Friend let me try his Quest 2 and I bought one. I didn’t even know about the quest 2 before he had one for me to try! Now I play all the time and buy games. I preordered a quest 3. I am all in.
Been there since day 1 and was a big fan of the tech even when Oculus DK1 was out. We were one of the first studios(Steel Wool Games) to get a very early prototype for the HTC Vive because of our early partnership with them. The base stations and wand controls were 3d-printed! That VR post hype crash was pretty brutal, but we survived. I think early mobile VR like Google cardboard and Oculus Go gave a really bad first impression of VR to a lot of people so it sort of set back mainstream adoption back in my opinion. We're definitely in a better spot today and it's nice to see the medium growing. As far as Meta goes, I've been happy with the content they've been putting out there and they still have the best value per buck as far as hardware. Also think it was a smart move to open up the Horizon OS to other hardware manufacturers. Keep up the great work, Matteo! You've been doing a great job. Cheers
Yes, VR has come a long way. I still have the original Oculus Rift CV1 and the next version the Rift S. The CV1 had external tracking stations which I had 2 of them. Then the Rift S went to inside out tracking. The CV1 had OLED, and the Rift S was LCD lenses. Once I did VR for the first time, I never wanted to go back to flat screens, if possible. I now stayed with Oculus which is now called Meta and got the Quest 3 which is where I am at now. Games look marvelous with the Quest 3 pancake lenses. New games and Updates keep coming out for the VR headset. Still learning the headset. I mainly do SIM racing VR games but have recently gotten several Action, shooter games. All look awesome in VR. I only buy new games when there are STEAM sales. I don't need to be the first one on the block to buy new games. Plus when I buy a game, hopefully all the bugs and fixes are fixed, or I know not to get it. I don't think VR is dead, they are going through a transition phase with newer hardware, lenses, and features. We shall see where technology takes us in the months to follow. Same goes with PC graphics cards, PC hardware, and lastly the gaming software. The big factor for me is pricing since I am retired. Can't buy new things a quickly as I used to. Time shall Tell how VR goes and if more people want to jump on the band wagon. Question for you: Why do I see new great Early release game that have come out or to be released do not provide VR support if that is the growing trend??? Seems it is modders that take the new games and make them try to work with VR. That is what keeps me excited is with all the VR mods. Note: there are games that I have that do come VR ready on STEAM. Thanks for your video and great information about VR.
Whats crazy is regular videogames took decades to actually get out of the fade phase and become established. Vr has gotten there much quicker. People talk about flat games like theyve alway been great. Ever flat game isnt good. Id say vr has a higher quality percentage than flat. And vr didnt really take off until quest 2 as much as people love to hate. Oculus made it available for so many more people.
Meta Quest 3 on Amazon I only had to pay $168 up front then like $80 per month for 5months. Came with Asgard Wrath1 on rift and Asgard Wrath2 on quest store and still those are among best games Ive played personally. Meta definitely got me hooked now. I would love if they even got into market for VR accessories like guns, steering wheels/pedals and like motion sensors for legs so can walk in VR using a treadmill
in the 80's when i was 2-3 years old they put micro and nano computer robots in my brain that control my brains chemicals and function, they also put computer chips connected to my visual and sound cortex on my brain and they can put me in full VR and augmented reality, which they did a few times and at first I didn't know how it was happening until they told me, they also play movies in my brain when I'm sleeping that aren't my thoughts dreams. fun stuff!
I am really hype for all the titles that are coming out. What I really appreciate that there is tech out there now that most people can buy, enjoy and share today ,and not 30 years from now.
We are in the 16bit or the ps2/gamecube/xbox stage now. Hardware is great, parity with controllers and devs now know how to make vr games. I envy people who get into vr now.
At first I was sceptical about zuck taking over the oculus, now I see that oculus might not go anywhere if not taken over by Meta. Zuck really shows his passion on VR development.
@matteo311 what u think of quest plan to make the quest a puck device like the vision pro but with the cpu+battery.. the headset will be super light from what i read 100grams
VR has still some issues to resolve. A big hurdle is still the motion sickness and weight/formfactor of the headsets for many people. Even on meta, it's not just jump in and be good. Also the VR platforms gatekeep each other so people on different platforms can't interact with each other or play games together. The VR Market needs a different approach to connect as much people as possible.
vr is to the point we 95% about people full adjust to vr within a month. unfortunately there are still some where it takes so much longer or just never happens
@@Gamingwithmatteo311 It seems, that most people drop the ball right before earning their "VR-Legs". My first steps in VR were on the PSVR1 and i didn't liked it much. Years later i got the Pico 4 and was still uncomfortable with it, because it felt like being drunk. The Quest was the first Headset for me, where everything stays in place.
@@tyrvintersol916 thats usually a hardware /software combo. Some games just know how to deal with motion sickness way better and some hardware like the psvr1 didn't track as well
I'm watching a second time off work. I really enjoy these kinds of videos from you. Hopefully, us standalone users didn't mess you up too bad 😅. Now, your channel is probably filled with us, lol. I wonder if you feel like a parent trapped in a school with a bunch of crazy children!
I agree with what you are saying for the most part, but while I think the Q3s will be upgraded Q2 it will also be downgraded Q3. So I think that it will mainly appeal to people who have neither. I don't know what it will be missing compared to the Q3 but it will be inferior, so if you are looking for an upgrade from Q2, most will probably pay more to get more. There will be zero reason for someone with a Q3 to even look at it. So it will be a nitch for new adopters who will want to get started at a lower price. The big question will be can you play Q3 exclusives? I heard a rumor they will not have controllers, that will make it difficult to play games. I think for the first time games may sell headsets, with Batman, Metro, Aliens, and Behethmoth all on the horizon this will bring new players into VR, plus a pretty big library of great existing games. I really wonder what the price point on Q3s will be because if it is too close to Q3 who would buy it? I guess we find out at Meta Connect.
Red Matter 2 is overhyped imo. It’s not even in my top 10. The loudest consumers put way too much emphasis on graphics and not enough on art direction, gameplay, music, meaningful goals etc. That’s why Wind Waker didn’t do well at launch but is widely known for how amazing it is. VR is held back by trying to appeal to the same mindset.
i actually kind of agree with you hitmans a good example as soon as people saw the art style all hype died for the community the creators just stopped talking about it even though the gameplay looks very fun ive even seen people say that the gameplay doesnt matter if the graphics arent hyper realistic whats the point if the gameplays terrible
@@TheStoneyLoner i'm one of those people, this is 2024 and it's a big budget game, i'm expecting good gameplay and realistic graphics at the same time. if they don't bother to push the headset to it's limits how can we expect quality graphics from lower budget titles. And on top of that they won't support the quest 2 even with that ugliness they are about to release. Even Assassin's creed looks gorgeos on quest 2, just like the walking dead or dead matter. They are supporting only quest 3 and releasing a cartoon, i'm sorry but i can't get behind this, we should cheer devs who deserve to be cheered, this game will not help standalone to break free from the low graphics reputation.
I actually enjoyed the first much more, it felt far more deliberate. The second lost the horror vibes and the combat wasn't very good with simple puzzles being repeated multiple times.
I can't wait to own my first VR headset and tbh, even though I'm not up to date on everything VR news, even I knew META QUEST saved VR and I hated that fact at first. Browsing for a VR headset recently though, I was baffled at how well priced the Quest is compared to the average headset for the same features! I'm lucky to be able to afford whatever I want so I'm opting for a headset that does not steal my information lol (advice needed) but I am thankful META is doing to VR what Playstation and Xbox did to gaming: create a mainstream base and, like PC players do, reap all benefits from that.
Technology wise VR is still in it's infancy. Even for Meta it will take a few generations of headsets to get that tech to the higher standard we expect. I think a lot of people when they think of VR expect something more advanced (more what is seen in future sci fi media). Something we will see in another couple of generations. It's getting there and the hardware advancing all the time. Getting more powerful. I think it's something that puts people off VR headsets is a lack of power. It will catch up to PCVR power (from a good laptop, maybe not quite the same as desktop). I just got in to VR this year. The one thing i've found is the lack of bigger titles (and for me campaign based games. lot of more sandbox stuff around just now). That all seems to be be about to change. So many good looking games due over the next year. I'm really excited to spend a lot more time playing VR. It provides experiences you just can't get on flatscreen gaming (something like Iron man. i'm currently playing this and it's so much fun). The thrill of diving into cover, bullets zipping over your head as you fumble for a fresh mag or hiding from a monster watching it through a tiny gap as it passes. The adrenaline rushes i've had in something like Half Life Alyx, flat screen has never come close to it. I've been gaming for over 20years and VR is a whole new experience and way to play games. I'm very excited for what the future holds. I'm confident we will see other companies join Meta in the VR industry. I'm sure some of the games we will see over the next couple of years will change of lot of developer and publisher opinions on VR and encourage them to take a dip in the VR pool. VR is no where near dead. It's only just get started!
As I started watching this I was kind of thinking how not too long ago VR seemed like it might fail, but it is now looking like it has a good future, particularly after your recent reports. Your review of the history was good and seemed on target. These companies are only concerned with profit. When it gets to the point they come out with guitar and drum controllers for the music games such as for Guitar Hero/Rock Band that will make me very happy!
I'm a gaming enthusiast, and I want the best game content. That's why I don't mind whether it's PCVR or any other format-I'm willing to put in the effort to figure it out for great games. However, the current focus on standalone headsets leaves me feeling a bit frustrated... but I understand. At least it's keeping VR alive, and it will gradually catch up in the future. Until then, I guess I'll just have to get by with UEVR...
I think we may be on the verg of truly blowing up. Not over taking flat screen but enough for more games to have serious player bases. We have behemoth and batman looing amazing and hitman and alien having potential to be good. With meta opening quest os to other devices thats gonna make new headsets easier to break in to the market.
Vr looks awesome. I have never experienced it but have always wanted to. I'm waiting for meta connect to decide what I want to purchase and I would have enough money then 😅
Quest 3 plus quest game optimizer makes it hard to go back to anything else for standalone. I do connect via virtual desktop to gaming laptop for steam vr & rift games on occasion though. The best games are on pc or at least the best versions.
@@starscream6629 I would love to do that but I'm broke 😭 I the meta quest 3S costs 399 for 256gb, I'll just save up for the meta quest 3. However, if the meta quest 3S costs 350 or 299 for 256, I will definitely buy that so I could spend money on virtual desktop and PC parts etc
I think we have this assumption that more power === better graphics. But is that necessarily the case? What if there's a better way to do it that we just haven't quite cracked yet?
No real complaint from my side. I do find myself pouring one out for the amazing PCVR games that came out during the gold rush time whenever I jump into one of them and am just flabbergasted... But honestly, having just jumped back into Asgard's Wrath 2 and Assassin's Creed for fun, and having played some Batman and Behemoth at Gamescom, I am actually pretty excited for where things are going. And don't forget that games like Metro or Behemoth are still itching that PCVR scratch and are putting out better graphics versions. That being said: I really don't think I want to be wearing AR glasses all day every day. I do wear my Meta Ray Bans for the exact same reason (listening to audio and recording), and I own the XReal Airs, but the latter I really only use indoors and when traveling, when around people I really don't want anything shown in my vision that will distract me from those people. And I think I will try to keep it this way.
You failed to mention the importance of haptics ..for VR to really grow the price has to come down there too and there needs to be a haptic standard across all games
Good history of modern VR, as much as its only been since 2016 so many people don't realise this. Although in the "PCVR is better" section I think if meta had not been involved something else would of happened. Even PSVR2 would of had a much larger market share and seemed better value compared to PCVR and would of had more adopters I think.
As a supposed villain, Zuck's pretty weak lol. He's made mistakes of course. But he's a very likeable alien. I never really thought about it before, but you're right. I never would have gotten into VR, even though I was interested, if the prices had not come down (same with drones). I can't believe Meta paid 4 billion! Wow. That alone tells you they're going to put a lot of focus on this tech so their investment will pay off. So far I'm still a little underwhelmed about what's available today in VR, with a few exceptions. But I'm overwhelmed at the potential. I want to use it as a legit workspace and not stay seated all the time, etc. But so far I still find most of those apps kind of .. awkward and buggy. Maybe it just takes muscle memory. I don't know if I could do what your friend did and keep a headset on all the time. I would feel a little claustrophobic. New subscriber. Great channel
Without Meta pouring money into VR market we wouldn’t have even a quarter of things we have now. Think what you want about Zuck, but he had a passion and he spent money recklessly into a market that didn’t even exist and is just starting to heat up. Without him we would have headsets that cost 1500 dollars and need gaming pc on top of that. And the player base would be like 56 people in total.
i mean, at least we can be glad that a better headset than meta quest 3 is the worst we're gonna see from now onwards when we see new headsets. Theres a point where it is light enough to not bother you or press your face and all of that, and i think we are very close to that point. VR has had also pretty low quality graphics in general because its a more computing intensive task, it needs more FPS, more resolution, and render two times, one for each eye, but now, normal videogames are starting to approach reality in terms of visual quality, so we should start to have more powerful headsets and more high quality games, give it a few years. And specially when AI makes game development 10 times easier, faster, and cheaper, theres gonna be a videogame explosion and that also applies to VR, things are starting to become standardized, not fully yet, but we've already are past more than half of the way
I think in the long run, the path taken for pcvr will be to its benefit. We wouldn't have UEVR and some of the other mods that we have. Also, Meta has established a generation of VR fans that will eventually want more and with that, pc vr will benefit greatly.
One major flaw of meta quest is the fact that you can't upgrade your 500 gb. 500 gb not enough there should be an option to upgrade up to 2TB. No bueno
@@Gamingwithmatteo311 ahhh... gotcha. Like a true vr headset in glasses form.... I'd love to just see AR glasses do more of the spatial computing w a nice AI component and VR headsets focus on gaming and more immersive things like metaverse. 😁😁
VR is small market but, the real good tactic with VR game could be, in this days so many games are on UE5 the best engine for VR games, i think games like stalker 2 should be always year after pc and console to be on VR too, there is easy method to make it as games looks really cool in VR from UE 5 they just need to make items be able grab it make it backpack and make a weapons and mags and stuff its not that much work, i think this way VR games get more hype
Everyone freaked out when google glasses were released because it had a camera but with meta ray-ban glasses no one seems worried. Everyone today finds VR a bit weird too but in time it will become mainstream as more people get exposed to it and form factors improve.
I'm worried about the meta ray-bans. I think they're hugely invasive and frankly there should be regulations against them. I'm not the only one, but I was pretty shocked at how few people think they're an issue.
I keep saying Vr isn’t dead, it just hasn’t revolutionized society like meta had hoped. meta created their own bubble and it has deflated a bit. VR may not be where it was predicted to be, but it’s right about where it should be. It’s actually in a pretty good place. As for PCVR. The market is stand alone and PCVR is niche. It will continue to fill the sim void, or the big AAA games with VR support.
I compromised my morals and bought a Quest 3. I am an extreme disliker of Meta and still bought one so I doubt there are many holdouts left. I was likely one of the last. They have won the VR race no matter how much I don't like it.😢 On the bright side it is a very nice headset. That said as soon as Valve releases their next headset (if they do) I'm jumping ship.
The Quest most certainly introduced a new era. One I bitterly hate to this day. It feels like VR has stood still since around the release of Alyx. The dawn of the Quest meant downgrades for PC people, and development being shifted away from PC to Quest. God, I wish we got the PC exclusive Bonelab. I am still so bitter about Bonelab, thinking about it makes me a bit sick. PCVR Hardware has stagnated. Innovations like the Bigscreen HMD are cool, but it's not enough considering how much time has passed, as well as the fact that even these innovative HMDs come with downgrades. I don't want to go back to 100 FOV and 90 Hz after using an Index. Not to mention software... I could rant on and on and on but I'll cut it here. I would have taken a decade of very, very slow developments that were small but measurable and contiually upwards, rather than the Pact-with-the-Devil type deal with got with Zuck. Yes, high fidelity standalone VR with a big company investing in it, but at what bloody cost... when we wished for VR to get big, we didn't realize we held the Monkey's Paw. A finger on the paw curled...
I love pcvr but unfortunately most of the new games aren’t coming to pcvr. I wish games like Asgard’s wrath 2 Batman, ect were also available on pc. I enjoy the better graphics. But I find my $3000 gaming pc just sitting there these days since I’ve been playing standalone games most of the time
I am just here for the gaming bro. I don't have an interest in buying the stone age version of something that might be cool 15 years from now. I WILL BE RETIRED 15 YEARS FROM NOW. Before then I would like to get back to playing games in VR. Or maybe I'll wait UNTIL then. After they finally figure out making the cool XR glasses we can finally get some games again. At a rate of 1-2 good games a year, at least I'll have a decent retro library to go through. 🤷
Vr is still Beta. Just waiting for advancements in hardware and more AAA titles. Just hoping the headset can still get lighter and lighter. Be nice in the future to just put on glasses with some sort of light leakage blockage to be immersed into VR glasses.
This is not something that Zuckerberg is doing just for fun seasons. The reason that Palmer lucky sold him Oculus is because he said he's the only person he's ever seen that Believes in VR even more than he does. On top of that, what they could do is just make normal games and then they could add VR camera and motion controls and object manipulation for a VR. Audience You can completely Warm Skyrim VR with just five to six mods You can make it act like it was literally designed for VR so The idea that they can't do more is kind of crazy. They could. Do it almost as an after thought and still make money off of it. But right now everybody's so focused on AI that that's where a lot of the R and D is going not to actual game creation. It's going to things like hand tracking and feet tracking and all these things to try to make it more immersive. I'm not sure why they're taking this. Approach and it's not the correct one so I'm not sure what they're planning on that but VR overall is coming together Finally. Also they're now making meta headsets that use the Meta OS but is not Meta. So that will open up a lot more doors. Just like windows did for computing. But the rest I kind of agree with.
I have the quest 3 pimax crystal in waiting for the supersuper you say you not a lover of meta it wouldn't surprise me if you actually getting money from them to say the things you say.🤔
"Initially you had two major players in the VR industry" Imagine telling the history of VR while ignoring the best selling headset of the first generation entirely. I mean, I know you're not stoked on Sony's VR efforts (or lack thereof) these days, but on the whole they've put more first-party support into VR than Valve has.
Matteo is very realistic and pragmatic, but i honestly feel like the toxic positivity is still stronger than ever out there. I've seen people hyping metro and alien as if they've already played it. Batman is touted as the next best thing when it just looks like repetitive glorified rhythm game that will only be fun for a few days. Both the vr is dead crowd and the vr is in it's golden age crowd are in way over their heads
The problem with VR as i see it. Im lazy. The only thing i want out of motion controls is aiming guns. The rest of the forced motion gimmicks are trash that do more to drive me to pick up a gamepad and play a game on my monitor than anything else. I've been voting with my wallet. Luke Ross got the majority of that vote.
Again you are misrepresenting what we are saying. Meta can do and could have done their whole XR thing without dissolving gaming. They could have given us a step between mobile and PC, a true stand alone VR system with the power to play better games. The difference is more than just graphics. Instead they chose to give us more and more expensive hardware with no software and a bunch of features nobody asked for.
@jackdiddley I don't actually agree, they took in the direction of their ultimate and eventually most profitable goal. Meta discussed continuing to grow pcvr but monetarily it didn't make sense
@Gamingwithmatteo311 I didn't want them to grow PCVR I wanted a better stand alone. This is their 5th chance to get it right, I have a bad feeling about this. Lol. I'm back to console gaming, I'll circle back to VR in 2025 or 2026. I can play Batman on the Q4, I'm sure it will run great.
I am not political, if the devil will make the headset I want, I'll give the devil my money. Give me a headset without mixed reality and WITH pancake lenses. They are sacrificing the wrong things and this new headset is likely to not sell. How profitable is that?
Why do you almost never mention pimax mention all the other headsets it's like you have a vendetta for pimax. They don't make software but they're hardware is really the best. At reasonable price the Crystal light in the upcoming Crystal super will see. I know you never liked pimax even with your recent reviews
let me know how hyped you are for VR right now.
Only cool people like, comment and subscribe

It’s an uneasy compromise because of their track record. Never trust corporations.
On the tin foil hat side lol, it's a great way for him to get cameras into your house.

@@sonicsnake44 I also wish they'd go all in, but at least they are doing more than nintendo or microsoft!
Whatever Red Matter 2 did to achieve the graphics and performance they did needs to be the foundation for all future stand alone titles.
It was a heavily modified version of Unreal Engine 4 if I remember correctly. So I doubt other devs would have access to it. Red matter 2 was also a very, very slow paced puzzle game, so anything faster would likely not work to a similar effect.
@dplagoon they did an amazing job but one thing that made it either is the lack of many mechanics like physics, combat ect. They introduced some basic combat in the 2nd game but the overall lack of mechanics gives extra headroom
100% it's beautiful
Yes and, whatever population 1 did to make movement fluid and immersive needs to be the standard moving forward
Playing Red Matter 2 through to the end on Q3 made me feel like I was in a sci-fi film and I mean that in a good way.
I understand that a fast paced, hectic game just couldn't have quite the same level of polish on standalone hardware at the moment but I'd like to see some kind of horror title using the same game engine.
Great video Matteo, I’m a VR newbie, buying my 1st headset a month ago (meta quest 3) and I’m totally addicted to VR. I love it! If it wasn’t for meta there is no way I would have ever been able to afford to get into VR so I think they are good for the industry and have introduced VR to a whole new audience. Keep up the good work, love the channel.
VR has had such hype for so long since it taps into the starry eyed child in us all. “Just think of the possibilities”. But, the process to realize those possibilities is hard, and will take time. There’s just a hope that can’t die.
I really wanna look back one year from the launch of the Quest 3S and Batman Arkham Shadow, and see how things grow and evolve for the industry and community over that year.
i have around 300+ hours in Skyrim VR (fully modded) and i cant seem to stop! that and MS flight sim still rule VR for me. when they can make stand alone games like them, i will be there. but for now they all seem shallow in comparison.
The issue that i see with people getting into PCVR is that it is not plug and play. It took me a while to get things working and running good. by a while i mean weeks.. and i am what most consider tech-savvy.
also, it takes some time to adjust to VR. I had to do short sessions for the first while until I got to where I feel no negative effects. now i can play for hours at a time.
Most people that i let try it for the first time like it for about 15mins then have to take them off. I'm sure that discourages some people from ever buying them.
I am beyond excited for batman arkham shadow. I am a big arkham fan, I have been playing the games for years over and over again. I got my quest 3 last year for christmas and that was the best gift I ever got, the updates on the quest 3 have been amazing, and the mixed reality got so much better over the next few months. I am so excited to play all the new BIG vr games!
I keep making this same argument to people about Quest. In the next 3 to 5 years, we could be seeing Half Life Alyx quality games on Quest, and Batman looks like it's the first real step in that direction. It looks like proof that Meta's strategy is working.
pretty much, we couldn't get bigger games without a bigger audience and meta did what they could to grow it
Pcvr has a high barrier of entry... Meta made vr approachable by reducing the amount of steps to experience it and making pc vr an option and not a requirement. Not that I am trying to be a cheerleader for Meta, but it should be noted they have to attract developers to make content for the platform as a viable area to generate revenue. Also, because VR is very resource intensive, the approach for development has to be performance first, then visual fidelity afterwards in order to ship on multiple platforms.
Those are just facts
I have powerful PC and yet I prefer Quest.
Because I grab it and I and I am good to go. And anywhere...
Sure stuff like Alex or B&S are awesome or on PC, but Quest is just killing it ...
Meta didn't make pc an option, virtual desktop forced them to do.
@@cparoli1111? What? They mainstreamed mobile pc free standalone headsets. They are working on cloud pc integration to bring back the library of PCVR to give more options to quest 2-3 users.
@@cparoli1111 forced them how?
@@cparoli1111 the oculus store was around long before virtual desktop was around. It started out as a PCVR headset. What are you talking about?
I didn't even know there was a Doom and Wolfenstien vr.
I am thankful for Meta, though! I don't know if I'd be here if it wasn't for them.
I'm extremely curious about Valves' possible stand-alone VR. Will it be a stand-alone capable of low end pcvr?
Good VR games are needed but more importantly a constant flow of good games is vital to grow VR. Still believe hybrid games are the best path forward for companies and consumers. Also, agree with you that VR will not really take off until the form factor becomes less obtrusive like being a pair of glasses.
I am proof that Meta is working. I stopped using Facebook and was never going to buy into the PCVR ecosystem. Friend let me try his Quest 2 and I bought one. I didn’t even know about the quest 2 before he had one for me to try! Now I play all the time and buy games. I preordered a quest 3. I am all in.
Been there since day 1 and was a big fan of the tech even when Oculus DK1 was out. We were one of the first studios(Steel Wool Games) to get a very early prototype for the HTC Vive because of our early partnership with them. The base stations and wand controls were 3d-printed! That VR post hype crash was pretty brutal, but we survived. I think early mobile VR like Google cardboard and Oculus Go gave a really bad first impression of VR to a lot of people so it sort of set back mainstream adoption back in my opinion.
We're definitely in a better spot today and it's nice to see the medium growing.
As far as Meta goes, I've been happy with the content they've been putting out there and they still have the best value per buck as far as hardware. Also think it was a smart move to open up the Horizon OS to other hardware manufacturers.
Keep up the great work, Matteo! You've been doing a great job.
Cheers
As a Quest owner Quest ruined the fuck out of AAA insane VR games
By far my favorite VR commentator/enthusiast. Great video!
Yes, VR has come a long way. I still have the original Oculus Rift CV1 and the next version the Rift S. The CV1 had external tracking stations which I had 2 of them. Then the Rift S went to inside out tracking. The CV1 had OLED, and the Rift S was LCD lenses. Once I did VR for the first time, I never wanted to go back to flat screens, if possible.
I now stayed with Oculus which is now called Meta and got the Quest 3 which is where I am at now. Games look marvelous with the Quest 3 pancake lenses. New games and Updates keep coming out for the VR headset. Still learning the headset.
I mainly do SIM racing VR games but have recently gotten several Action, shooter games. All look awesome in VR. I only buy new games when there are STEAM sales. I don't need to be the first one on the block to buy new games. Plus when I buy a game, hopefully all the bugs and fixes are fixed, or I know not to get it.
I don't think VR is dead, they are going through a transition phase with newer hardware, lenses, and features. We shall see where technology takes us in the months to follow. Same goes with PC graphics cards, PC hardware, and lastly the gaming software. The big factor for me is pricing since I am retired. Can't buy new things a quickly as I used to.
Time shall Tell how VR goes and if more people want to jump on the band wagon.
Question for you: Why do I see new great Early release game that have come out or to be released do not provide VR support if that is the growing trend??? Seems it is modders that take the new games and make them try to work with VR. That is what keeps me excited is with all the VR mods. Note: there are games that I have that do come VR ready on STEAM.
Thanks for your video and great information about VR.
Thanks for your videos. Loving VR! Excited to watch the industry develop.
Whats crazy is regular videogames took decades to actually get out of the fade phase and become established. Vr has gotten there much quicker. People talk about flat games like theyve alway been great. Ever flat game isnt good. Id say vr has a higher quality percentage than flat. And vr didnt really take off until quest 2 as much as people love to hate. Oculus made it available for so many more people.
Meta Quest 3 on Amazon I only had to pay $168 up front then like $80 per month for 5months. Came with Asgard Wrath1 on rift and Asgard Wrath2 on quest store and still those are among best games Ive played personally. Meta definitely got me hooked now. I would love if they even got into market for VR accessories like guns, steering wheels/pedals and like motion sensors for legs so can walk in VR using a treadmill
in the 80's when i was 2-3 years old they put micro and nano computer robots in my brain that control my brains chemicals and function, they also put computer chips connected to my visual and sound cortex on my brain and they can put me in full VR and augmented reality, which they did a few times and at first I didn't know how it was happening until they told me, they also play movies in my brain when I'm sleeping that aren't my thoughts dreams. fun stuff!
The fact u support voting with ur wallet shows ur integrity❤
I am really hype for all the titles that are coming out. What I really appreciate that there is tech out there now that most people can buy, enjoy and share today ,and not 30 years from now.
We are in the 16bit or the ps2/gamecube/xbox stage now. Hardware is great, parity with controllers and devs now know how to make vr games. I envy people who get into vr now.
I’m planning on buying a quest 3 this year, probably on Black Friday. Do you guys think this is the time of the year to get a better deal?
Bro how havent you broken 100k subs yet? Great videos!
At first I was sceptical about zuck taking over the oculus, now I see that oculus might not go anywhere if not taken over by Meta. Zuck really shows his passion on VR development.
@matteo311 what u think of quest plan to make the quest a puck device like the vision pro but with the cpu+battery.. the headset will be super light from what i read 100grams
VR has still some issues to resolve. A big hurdle is still the motion sickness and weight/formfactor of the headsets for many people. Even on meta, it's not just jump in and be good. Also the VR platforms gatekeep each other so people on different platforms can't interact with each other or play games together. The VR Market needs a different approach to connect as much people as possible.
vr is to the point we 95% about people full adjust to vr within a month. unfortunately there are still some where it takes so much longer or just never happens
@@Gamingwithmatteo311 It seems, that most people drop the ball right before earning their "VR-Legs". My first steps in VR were on the PSVR1 and i didn't liked it much. Years later i got the Pico 4 and was still uncomfortable with it, because it felt like being drunk. The Quest was the first Headset for me, where everything stays in place.
@@tyrvintersol916 thats usually a hardware /software combo. Some games just know how to deal with motion sickness way better and some hardware like the psvr1 didn't track as well
I'm watching a second time off work. I really enjoy these kinds of videos from you. Hopefully, us standalone users didn't mess you up too bad 😅. Now, your channel is probably filled with us, lol. I wonder if you feel like a parent trapped in a school with a bunch of crazy children!
I agree with what you are saying for the most part, but while I think the Q3s will be upgraded Q2 it will also be downgraded Q3. So I think that it will mainly appeal to people who have neither. I don't know what it will be missing compared to the Q3 but it will be inferior, so if you are looking for an upgrade from Q2, most will probably pay more to get more. There will be zero reason for someone with a Q3 to even look at it. So it will be a nitch for new adopters who will want to get started at a lower price. The big question will be can you play Q3 exclusives? I heard a rumor they will not have controllers, that will make it difficult to play games. I think for the first time games may sell headsets, with Batman, Metro, Aliens, and Behethmoth all on the horizon this will bring new players into VR, plus a pretty big library of great existing games. I really wonder what the price point on Q3s will be because if it is too close to Q3 who would buy it? I guess we find out at Meta Connect.
Red Matter 2 is overhyped imo. It’s not even in my top 10. The loudest consumers put way too much emphasis on graphics and not enough on art direction, gameplay, music, meaningful goals etc. That’s why Wind Waker didn’t do well at launch but is widely known for how amazing it is. VR is held back by trying to appeal to the same mindset.
i actually kind of agree with you hitmans a good example as soon as people saw the art style all hype died for the community the creators just stopped talking about it even though the gameplay looks very fun ive even seen people say that the gameplay doesnt matter if the graphics arent hyper realistic whats the point if the gameplays terrible
@@TheStoneyLoner i'm one of those people, this is 2024 and it's a big budget game, i'm expecting good gameplay and realistic graphics at the same time. if they don't bother to push the headset to it's limits how can we expect quality graphics from lower budget titles. And on top of that they won't support the quest 2 even with that ugliness they are about to release. Even Assassin's creed looks gorgeos on quest 2, just like the walking dead or dead matter. They are supporting only quest 3 and releasing a cartoon, i'm sorry but i can't get behind this, we should cheer devs who deserve to be cheered, this game will not help standalone to break free from the low graphics reputation.
There is no gameplay. Stopped playing almost immediately after giving it a generous few hours. And tbh, even the graphics aren't all that great...
I actually enjoyed the first much more, it felt far more deliberate. The second lost the horror vibes and the combat wasn't very good with simple puzzles being repeated multiple times.
I can't wait to own my first VR headset and tbh, even though I'm not up to date on everything VR news, even I knew META QUEST saved VR and I hated that fact at first.
Browsing for a VR headset recently though, I was baffled at how well priced the Quest is compared to the average headset for the same features!
I'm lucky to be able to afford whatever I want so I'm opting for a headset that does not steal my information lol (advice needed) but I am thankful META is doing to VR what Playstation and Xbox did to gaming: create a mainstream base and, like PC players do, reap all benefits from that.
Technology wise VR is still in it's infancy. Even for Meta it will take a few generations of headsets to get that tech to the higher standard we expect. I think a lot of people when they think of VR expect something more advanced (more what is seen in future sci fi media). Something we will see in another couple of generations. It's getting there and the hardware advancing all the time. Getting more powerful. I think it's something that puts people off VR headsets is a lack of power. It will catch up to PCVR power (from a good laptop, maybe not quite the same as desktop).
I just got in to VR this year. The one thing i've found is the lack of bigger titles (and for me campaign based games. lot of more sandbox stuff around just now). That all seems to be be about to change. So many good looking games due over the next year. I'm really excited to spend a lot more time playing VR. It provides experiences you just can't get on flatscreen gaming (something like Iron man. i'm currently playing this and it's so much fun). The thrill of diving into cover, bullets zipping over your head as you fumble for a fresh mag or hiding from a monster watching it through a tiny gap as it passes. The adrenaline rushes i've had in something like Half Life Alyx, flat screen has never come close to it. I've been gaming for over 20years and VR is a whole new experience and way to play games. I'm very excited for what the future holds. I'm confident we will see other companies join Meta in the VR industry. I'm sure some of the games we will see over the next couple of years will change of lot of developer and publisher opinions on VR and encourage them to take a dip in the VR pool. VR is no where near dead. It's only just get started!
Serious question, what does Brad do to keep his face from breaking out by wearing his AVP all night long 😄
I'm wondering if it's harder to develop for VR games than it is for regular PC games.
Mr VR!! Love your vids man
As I started watching this I was kind of thinking how not too long ago VR seemed like it might fail, but it is now looking like it has a good future, particularly after your recent reports. Your review of the history was good and seemed on target. These companies are only concerned with profit. When it gets to the point they come out with guitar and drum controllers for the music games such as for Guitar Hero/Rock Band that will make me very happy!
I'm a gaming enthusiast, and I want the best game content. That's why I don't mind whether it's PCVR or any other format-I'm willing to put in the effort to figure it out for great games. However, the current focus on standalone headsets leaves me feeling a bit frustrated... but I understand. At least it's keeping VR alive, and it will gradually catch up in the future. Until then, I guess I'll just have to get by with UEVR...
I think we may be on the verg of truly blowing up. Not over taking flat screen but enough for more games to have serious player bases. We have behemoth and batman looing amazing and hitman and alien having potential to be good. With meta opening quest os to other devices thats gonna make new headsets easier to break in to the market.
Vr looks awesome. I have never experienced it but have always wanted to. I'm waiting for meta connect to decide what I want to purchase and I would have enough money then 😅
Quest 3 plus quest game optimizer makes it hard to go back to anything else for standalone. I do connect via virtual desktop to gaming laptop for steam vr & rift games on occasion though. The best games are on pc or at least the best versions.
@@starscream6629 I would love to do that but I'm broke 😭 I the meta quest 3S costs 399 for 256gb, I'll just save up for the meta quest 3. However, if the meta quest 3S costs 350 or 299 for 256, I will definitely buy that so I could spend money on virtual desktop and PC parts etc
amazing video, we need some 360 de series , get more ppl that love media into VR
I think we have this assumption that more power === better graphics. But is that necessarily the case? What if there's a better way to do it that we just haven't quite cracked yet?
Meta really saved the VR. Quest 3 is my favorito VR plataform.
No real complaint from my side. I do find myself pouring one out for the amazing PCVR games that came out during the gold rush time whenever I jump into one of them and am just flabbergasted... But honestly, having just jumped back into Asgard's Wrath 2 and Assassin's Creed for fun, and having played some Batman and Behemoth at Gamescom, I am actually pretty excited for where things are going. And don't forget that games like Metro or Behemoth are still itching that PCVR scratch and are putting out better graphics versions.
That being said: I really don't think I want to be wearing AR glasses all day every day. I do wear my Meta Ray Bans for the exact same reason (listening to audio and recording), and I own the XReal Airs, but the latter I really only use indoors and when traveling, when around people I really don't want anything shown in my vision that will distract me from those people. And I think I will try to keep it this way.
Are you planning a video on the psvr2 on pc?
You failed to mention the importance of haptics ..for VR to really grow the price has to come down there too and there needs to be a haptic standard across all games
Good history of modern VR, as much as its only been since 2016 so many people don't realise this. Although in the "PCVR is better" section I think if meta had not been involved something else would of happened. Even PSVR2 would of had a much larger market share and seemed better value compared to PCVR and would of had more adopters I think.
Flat screen pc player for years bought quest 3 5 months ago not played flar screen since.
I give it 20 years max and we'll be more ready player on then most would think. Unless they go the deep dive rought
As a supposed villain, Zuck's pretty weak lol. He's made mistakes of course. But he's a very likeable alien. I never really thought about it before, but you're right. I never would have gotten into VR, even though I was interested, if the prices had not come down (same with drones). I can't believe Meta paid 4 billion! Wow. That alone tells you they're going to put a lot of focus on this tech so their investment will pay off. So far I'm still a little underwhelmed about what's available today in VR, with a few exceptions. But I'm overwhelmed at the potential. I want to use it as a legit workspace and not stay seated all the time, etc. But so far I still find most of those apps kind of .. awkward and buggy. Maybe it just takes muscle memory. I don't know if I could do what your friend did and keep a headset on all the time. I would feel a little claustrophobic. New subscriber. Great channel
Without Meta pouring money into VR market we wouldn’t have even a quarter of things we have now. Think what you want about Zuck, but he had a passion and he spent money recklessly into a market that didn’t even exist and is just starting to heat up. Without him we would have headsets that cost 1500 dollars and need gaming pc on top of that. And the player base would be like 56 people in total.
i mean, at least we can be glad that a better headset than meta quest 3 is the worst we're gonna see from now onwards when we see new headsets. Theres a point where it is light enough to not bother you or press your face and all of that, and i think we are very close to that point. VR has had also pretty low quality graphics in general because its a more computing intensive task, it needs more FPS, more resolution, and render two times, one for each eye, but now, normal videogames are starting to approach reality in terms of visual quality, so we should start to have more powerful headsets and more high quality games, give it a few years. And specially when AI makes game development 10 times easier, faster, and cheaper, theres gonna be a videogame explosion and that also applies to VR, things are starting to become standardized, not fully yet, but we've already are past more than half of the way
I think in the long run, the path taken for pcvr will be to its benefit. We wouldn't have UEVR and some of the other mods that we have. Also, Meta has established a generation of VR fans that will eventually want more and with that, pc vr will benefit greatly.
One major flaw of meta quest is the fact that you can't upgrade your 500 gb.
500 gb not enough there should be an option to upgrade up to 2TB.
No bueno
Meta is rumored to release their AR glasses... maybe prototype.... in 3 weeks!! That 10 to 15 years u mentioned seems like a slight overshot. 😁✌️
Ar glasses is a long way for from VR in the form factors of ar glasses with the functionality of both
@@Gamingwithmatteo311 ahhh... gotcha. Like a true vr headset in glasses form.... I'd love to just see AR glasses do more of the spatial computing w a nice AI component and VR headsets focus on gaming and more immersive things like metaverse. 😁😁
VR is small market but, the real good tactic with VR game could be, in this days so many games are on UE5 the best engine for VR games, i think games like stalker 2 should be always year after pc and console to be on VR too, there is easy method to make it as games looks really cool in VR from UE 5 they just need to make items be able grab it make it backpack and make a weapons and mags and stuff its not that much work, i think this way VR games get more hype
Gpu prices and shortage during crypto also hurt PCVR.
We need a competitive shooter that is already established to step in the space
11:22 I think Apple likes to hear that 😁
Everyone freaked out when google glasses were released because it had a camera but with meta ray-ban glasses no one seems worried.
Everyone today finds VR a bit weird too but in time it will become mainstream as more people get exposed to it and form factors improve.
I'm worried about the meta ray-bans. I think they're hugely invasive and frankly there should be regulations against them. I'm not the only one, but I was pretty shocked at how few people think they're an issue.
The PSVR2 is awesome for PC gaming, esp if get at reduced price.
There's so many corps investing in VR headsets that it's never been stronger.
I keep saying Vr isn’t dead, it just hasn’t revolutionized society like meta had hoped. meta created their own bubble and it has deflated a bit. VR may not be where it was predicted to be, but it’s right about where it should be. It’s actually in a pretty good place.
As for PCVR. The market is stand alone and PCVR is niche. It will continue to fill the sim void, or the big AAA games with VR support.
I compromised my morals and bought a Quest 3. I am an extreme disliker of Meta and still bought one so I doubt there are many holdouts left. I was likely one of the last. They have won the VR race no matter how much I don't like it.😢
On the bright side it is a very nice headset. That said as soon as Valve releases their next headset (if they do) I'm jumping ship.
The Quest most certainly introduced a new era. One I bitterly hate to this day. It feels like VR has stood still since around the release of Alyx. The dawn of the Quest meant downgrades for PC people, and development being shifted away from PC to Quest. God, I wish we got the PC exclusive Bonelab. I am still so bitter about Bonelab, thinking about it makes me a bit sick. PCVR Hardware has stagnated. Innovations like the Bigscreen HMD are cool, but it's not enough considering how much time has passed, as well as the fact that even these innovative HMDs come with downgrades. I don't want to go back to 100 FOV and 90 Hz after using an Index. Not to mention software... I could rant on and on and on but I'll cut it here.
I would have taken a decade of very, very slow developments that were small but measurable and contiually upwards, rather than the Pact-with-the-Devil type deal with got with Zuck. Yes, high fidelity standalone VR with a big company investing in it, but at what bloody cost... when we wished for VR to get big, we didn't realize we held the Monkey's Paw. A finger on the paw curled...
Unfortunate timing the release of this video and the release of Hitman right afterwards😅
Biggest heros in VR are modders
I love pcvr but unfortunately most of the new games aren’t coming to pcvr. I wish games like Asgard’s wrath 2 Batman, ect were also available on pc. I enjoy the better graphics. But I find my $3000 gaming pc just sitting there these days since I’ve been playing standalone games most of the time
Metro
Behemoth
Alien Rogue incursion
Only batman is missing
bro i go crazy i try to found the last 200€ for a vr but i cant find it 😭
It’s getting better now . Sooooo
I am just here for the gaming bro. I don't have an interest in buying the stone age version of something that might be cool 15 years from now.
I WILL BE RETIRED 15 YEARS FROM NOW. Before then I would like to get back to playing games in VR. Or maybe I'll wait UNTIL then. After they finally figure out making the cool XR glasses we can finally get some games again. At a rate of 1-2 good games a year, at least I'll have a decent retro library to go through. 🤷
I would love to see borderlands in vr
Borderlands 2 is in vr
Vr is still Beta. Just waiting for advancements in hardware and more AAA titles. Just hoping the headset can still get lighter and lighter. Be nice in the future to just put on glasses with some sort of light leakage blockage to be immersed into VR glasses.
This is not something that Zuckerberg is doing just for fun seasons. The reason that Palmer lucky sold him Oculus is because he said he's the only person he's ever seen that Believes in VR even more than he does. On top of that, what they could do is just make normal games and then they could add VR camera and motion controls and object manipulation for a VR. Audience You can completely Warm Skyrim VR with just five to six mods You can make it act like it was literally designed for VR so The idea that they can't do more is kind of crazy. They could. Do it almost as an after thought and still make money off of it. But right now everybody's so focused on AI that that's where a lot of the R and D is going not to actual game creation. It's going to things like hand tracking and feet tracking and all these things to try to make it more immersive. I'm not sure why they're taking this. Approach and it's not the correct one so I'm not sure what they're planning on that but VR overall is coming together Finally. Also they're now making meta headsets that use the Meta OS but is not Meta. So that will open up a lot more doors. Just like windows did for computing. But the rest I kind of agree with.
and just because they're the "king" now, doesn't mean they're all will be just look at Sega.
VRChat and Beat Saber...what more do we need?
Real
Space Pirates, Ninja Legends, Racket Fx, and Walkabout Mini Golf?
I have the quest 3 pimax crystal in waiting for the supersuper you say you not a lover of meta it wouldn't surprise me if you actually getting money from them to say the things you say.🤔
You are right
i wish it was true for PC ;(
RIP PCVR
I prefer top quality visuals quest 3 is just not as good as far as the visuals I prefer to pmax
I've had 3 pimax headsets, all pretty terrible
Any update on valve index 2
valve is working on stuff, its valve time like normal
"Initially you had two major players in the VR industry"
Imagine telling the history of VR while ignoring the best selling headset of the first generation entirely. I mean, I know you're not stoked on Sony's VR efforts (or lack thereof) these days, but on the whole they've put more first-party support into VR than Valve has.
Matteo is very realistic and pragmatic, but i honestly feel like the toxic positivity is still stronger than ever out there. I've seen people hyping metro and alien as if they've already played it. Batman is touted as the next best thing when it just looks like repetitive glorified rhythm game that will only be fun for a few days. Both the vr is dead crowd and the vr is in it's golden age crowd are in way over their heads
I Will always go to Meta first.
The problem with VR as i see it. Im lazy. The only thing i want out of motion controls is aiming guns. The rest of the forced motion gimmicks are trash that do more to drive me to pick up a gamepad and play a game on my monitor than anything else.
I've been voting with my wallet. Luke Ross got the majority of that vote.
This makes complete sense, vr isn't for everyone or at least motion controls
Again you are misrepresenting what we are saying. Meta can do and could have done their whole XR thing without dissolving gaming. They could have given us a step between mobile and PC, a true stand alone VR system with the power to play better games. The difference is more than just graphics.
Instead they chose to give us more and more expensive hardware with no software and a bunch of features nobody asked for.
@jackdiddley I don't actually agree, they took in the direction of their ultimate and eventually most profitable goal. Meta discussed continuing to grow pcvr but monetarily it didn't make sense
@Gamingwithmatteo311 I didn't want them to grow PCVR I wanted a better stand alone.
This is their 5th chance to get it right, I have a bad feeling about this. Lol.
I'm back to console gaming, I'll circle back to VR in 2025 or 2026. I can play Batman on the Q4, I'm sure it will run great.
@@jackdiddley there is only so much you can do with mobile hardware and entry level pricing
I say stand alone and you give me mobile. We are not talking about the same thing my brother. I'll see you on da flip side. 🍻
@jackdiddley I'm confused. Standalone requires mobile hardware. Only so much you can do with mobile and low price tags
I hate meta but I also hate bytedance 😭
I am not political, if the devil will make the headset I want, I'll give the devil my money.
Give me a headset without mixed reality and WITH pancake lenses. They are sacrificing the wrong things and this new headset is likely to not sell. How profitable is that?
Why do you almost never mention pimax mention all the other headsets it's like you have a vendetta for pimax. They don't make software but they're hardware is really the best. At reasonable price the Crystal light in the upcoming Crystal super will see. I know you never liked pimax even with your recent reviews
I've had 3 pimax headsets all pretty awesome plus the company makes some very scummy moves
IM ACTUALLY EARLY! :0
Steam vr is half ass and most of the pcvr games on Steam suck
