just btw, there are a shit ton of accessories that make the Q2 10x better. Counterweight battery pack (VRPower), Oculus Halo Strap for comfort, and KIWI knuckle straps so you can throw stuff like the Index controllers.
I've got to give a shoutout to Armature Studio, the studio behind the VR port of RE4. I left a review on the Oculus store for it and they responded with a VERY personalized reply addressing nearly all of my concerns, including the fact that Mercenaries mode is being added to the game in January. Very professional and friendly social team. Let alone the fact that RE4 VR is so damn fun that it's worth the price despite it's minor list of shortfalls.
They've did an amazing job. I completely agree, including the downfalls. Though the one sin I cannot forgive is the current exclusion of the Chicago typewriter. That's unforgivable.
@@arrownoir It's just shout-out where shout-out is due, I did some looking into Armature and they're listed as sub-50 people in size and have mostly been the outsource guys for other franchises - they are not the huge corporate overlords your sarcastic joke lifted directly from the video makes them out to be, so there's no need to be bitter about it
@@Hellothere-lk7xi Um, sorry but did you miss the fact that they were clearly joking in reference to the video, I don't think it was meant to be bitter at all?
that bit were leon returns to church to rescue ashley will be forever tied in my head with yahtzee giving writing advice at that moment in his let's play
Was not expecting the random pot shot at Leeds 😂 was funny, rest assured. Now I'm just wondering why you know they've only won 3 this season, that's one hell of a random joke Yhatz. Respect.
I hated the cabin fight with Luis in the original. In the VR version I love it, because you can peek out of the windows on the second floor while the bottom windows are barricaded. Awesome. 😎
I do find the ability to remove QTEs related to cutscenes rather hilarious, but at least it avoids needing to waggle the hands like a pair of maracas. I'm probably just gonna keep it around to see how hilarious they'll be handled.
That's the point, though. It wasn't a "good for it's time" scenario, the whole point was they adapted the limitations of the tank controls people were used to into a more freely-controlled (but still limited) movement/camera system based on it that still held you back to make the game challenging and unique. Bear in mind that most other third-person shooters at this point were either GTA3 clones or platformers and gave you ridiculous levels of control, movement speed and diving actions to ramp up the action. Resident Evil 4 limited your abilities to ramp up tension.
My favorite VR review to date was the one where Yahtzee made fun of the "ivory tower" people would have to live in to use it, mocking himself in the process.
What stuck out to me most about RE4 VR is that the explosions and flame effects are muted, you're actually a lot more nimble in this version since you can strafe, and the clarity of everything takes away from the fright factor (I originally played on GameCube so the pixelization added to the horror effect).
Whatever fright factor the "clarity" has taken away, is returned 10x by the fact that the enemies are to-scale and you have to manually reload your guns, which may lead to some fumbling.
Gamecube version didn't suffer from "pixelization". I think what you mean is that original RE4 was in standard definition, which wasn't a proble because 576i was the standard at the time.. RE4 has never been a scary game. It was a common complaint at the time.
@@plep1046 I mean the manual reloads are pretty bare bones, you load one shell into the shotgun and it’s full, you can slam a magazine anywhere near the pistol and then the slide is kinda magnetic so the distance you can grab it from is pretty big, etc. It’s definitely made to be simpler to prevent fumbles

There are plenty of physical gun stocks now that come with magnets for your controllers, so it hangs on your body with a sling. When you pickup a 2 handed weapon, you just lower your hands and they magnetize to the stock. I can't imagine playing games without it. They're around $80-100
@@knuckles91444 I actually got a 3d printed smg gunstock for around 15 dollars on ebay, but i can no longer find a seller for that price. still want to upgrade to a better one with magnets rather than a tube that slides into itself at some point.
@@Slash0mega I've seen some stocks that you can build with PVC pipes for less than $10, but I can't imagine trying to reload and put your hands back in place without magnets to guide them. It's probably the closest thing we'll ever have to simulating a real gun.
I have a Vive now, and when it breaks down I'm getting Steam Index. I'm not touching Oculus as long as it's owned by the literal forerunner of all dystopian surveillance societies.
Index's resolution is absolutely TRASH at this point. Even Quest 2 completely kicks its ass on that oh so critical front. If you REALLY won't buy Oculus then get the Vive Pro 2 or wait for something newer.
I think an important thing that should be noted: If you have a VR-capable PC you can run Oculus AirLink which will allow you to run *any* PCVR game wirelessly. I use it with my Quest 1 to run the game at my desk in my bedroom, but play it in the living room since it about triples the available movement space. Allowed me to experience HL:Alyx, full fat Beat Saber (the quest version is admittedly pretty good) , and several other titles. I do hope some other companies come out with similar solutions, because at some point my Quest will do a forced facebook login, and that will be the day it becomes a brink to me.
3:37 The cool thing about that idea of the controllers coming together to form a gun is that it exists!....in Japan only. There is an arcade game called Gunslinger Stratos, which is like a combination of a rail shooter and arena fighter. The controllers are shaped like 2 guns that you can combine together to form different guns. Its an idea that is super cool, but it's only limited to Japanese arcades, which is super lame :(
My dad got a free quest 2 from the start-up company he's been working for since they don't yet have the money to pay him a proper salary. After trying Resident Evil 4 on the 360 a couple years back, I recognized that it was a great game, but just not for me. After seeing it on the store, I was disgusted, expecting a shameless bundle of like 4 minigames loosely based off Resi 4, only to see the only negative reviews were for the wonkiness of VR and unnecessary censorship. I was baffled at how they managed to make a successful port of Resi 4 on the quest 2 without selling it for 60 bucks. Out of respect, I had to try it out, and I must say it's now one of my favorites. A majority of my issue with the original was the awkward aiming controls. It was something I could just get used to, but after being spoiled on so many shooters, I didn't feel like wrangling with it. In VR, obviously, aiming is a whole different monster meaning it's not only easier, but far more immersive and much more terrifying to have monsters closing in on you just as you run out of shotgun ammo. Extra major props to the first two setpieces that genuinely scared me, the first being the sewers with the locust creatures and the second being shortly after with the hedgemaze full of dogs. At first I was fine with the latter, until I heard the dogs charge at me from behind, not having considered they could hop the walls. I haven't gotten much further at this point, but I'm definitely looking forward to playing more!
3:00 Just to give you the quick summary; Third person, snooty-shooty, campy Europeans, bad dialogue, campy-campy, oooh scary-scary, monster fights, village, castle, island, big tits, jug ears, HELP! LEON! Smuggity-smug, deadity-dead.
@@snackplaylove Sure hope so, I have a Quest 1 and they previously said they were gonna require a Facebook account on that starting in 2023 Otherwise I'll have to pay a lot more for a different headset.
Definitely. It looks like the best on the market but the fact that Facebook is selling them for so cheap means they really want to put this device with outward facing cameras into your house. I don't trust that nonsense at all.
I'm so happy that you got a new book coming out. I love your narration. I though with making your game you and all your other commitments you wound't have time to write a new book. Also happy to hear it's a sequel to Differently Morphous. The only issue I have with your audiobooks even though I love them. Is that I have no clue how to spell any of the characters names😄
I remember someone rigs a pipe, and then make it so you can stick the 2 controllers in it so you have some sort of immersion when using 2-handed weapons. And yes.... the dilemma of buying Quest 2, on one hand its probably the best VR in the market just from the fact its wireless and no need to rig any camera. On other hand, Facebook.
@@zancrus9629 Very Soon they're letting you not do that. And you can unlink Facebook in the meantime. I'm gonna do that first chance I get. I figure...they're doing really good stuff in VR, when the Next Thing comes out from a competitor that isn't Facebook for a really good price, that's wireless, then I'll jump ship and take the benefits of increased tech with me, so to speak.
3:39 There's a Japanese arcade game that kinda does this. They have magnets on them that change the gun in game when snapped in one of two different positions. Gunslinger Stratos 3.
I've been wanting to take the dive into VR for some time now. The Oculus Quest finally seemed like the right hardware for me. It's wireless, there's no setup and, more importantly, it costs less than my house. I was waiting for the catch and I wasn't seeing one. Suddenly, here in a ZP video, I found it. The thing is bankrolled by fucking Facebook. Woof. That's a tough choice. Finally the VR hardware I've been wanting since I was a child but, to get it, I have to give money to Facebook. Yeah, I dunno. x_x
i was hesitent with the whole facebook thing, but for me what settled it was that i had never tried VR before and well teh quest 2 isnt half bad when it comes to teh specs its mid range, but the price is super super cheap, making it a really good headset to try VR and then maybe go for a more expensive one down the line. and the whole facebook thing isnt really a problem unless you use it and say something stupid on it and get your account locked out
@@nitebones1 I just don't like the idea of giving them money. But, meh. It's also supporting the Quest dev team so, I suppose it's whatever. But, you have the Quest 2 then? How is it? Any problems? I mean, I'll definitely do some of my own research before buying but, the first step to that is just asking people that already have the hardware. :)
@@tarrker you do need to do some research in it, like a few items are needed like a better head strap, and a portable battry pack thing (just those ones that charge phones) but over all its a nice headset, andi defonetlly enjoy units it, its best if you know someone else has one and try theirs, but for the price it is a proper steal, its basicly a great entry level headset, i gave it a go on squadrens and bloody hell just the depth of feel on the game blows me away every time
@@tarrker I’d say it depends on your needs. If you’re a console gamer, then you can probably just buy the Quest 2 no extra attachments and have a blast. If you’re PC however, you’re gonna need a link cable or a suitable replacement of for SteamVR and the Rift stuff, you’re gonna find issue with the framerate, the resolution isn’t always the best, and especially for games like Alyx you’re gonna need to turn the settings way down especially if you want that 120hz refresh rate. But, as Yhatzee put it, all these gripes are meaningless because the vr kit itself is only 300$ and as I’m sure you’re aware good fucking luck finding anything else even remotely that cheap Also quick edit an elite strap with battery is a great purchase, but ultimately not a requirement especially since it tacks on an extra 110 to your bill
Just a heads up, it's not there yet but Zuck did recently announced that at some point in the future you will not be required to login with your FB account. He didn't specify when that'd happen, just that it'll be available sometime within the next year. I bought a Quest 2 back in April and, FB bullshit aside, I absolutely fucking love it. It's a wonderful piece of hardware and absolutely worth the price of admission, especially now that they've retired the 64Gb version and the 128Gb is the entry model. Tons of great stuff to play natively, and it can connect to your PC with a single cable to play Steam VR stuff like Half-Life Alyx (don't get FB's bullshit $80 cable, there are tons of far cheaper and just as good alternatives). It can also stream pc vr games wirelessly, unfortunately it's a bit too laggy and the video quality is fairly poor for it to be useful, but the feature is still in beta so I don't count it as a strike against it.
You can play PCVR with a Quest 2 wirelessly using Air Link or Virtual Desktop if you have a VR Ready PC and an 802.11 AC or 802.11 AX router. Virtual Desktop is weirdly the better option for most people. It tends to have the edge out of the two. It is important to note that you need the Virtual Desktop from the Oculus Store, and not the one sold on Steam. They are both from the same dev, but one is for wired PC only headsets like the Index, and the other is intended to stream to the Quest 2. It's also worth mentioning that even if you don't ever intend to use the Quest 2 with a link cable connection, it is worth it to buy a longer USB C cable, because hooking the Quest 2 up to a PC for stuff like sideloading requires verification in the Quest 2 while it is connected with the cable, and good luck doing that with the cable that comes with it while it is plugged into a PC. I highly recommend this if your PC can run PCVR and you have a Quest 2. It will run any Steam VR title wirelessly, as well as Oculus App PCVR titles like Lone Echo. Wireless PCVR is amazing. I have an Index and haven't touched it since wireless VR became a thing on the Quest 2. Wireless easily trumps better controllers.
There was a good FPS game for this system that was on the market place for a week before being taken off. The best $20 I ever spent and now my account is worth $2000 for having this one game. It is called “Jump N Shoot,” the game literally took 3 hours to calibrate however. Imagine that old Motion Light gun arcade game but focus on jumping as well. It was taken off the market because of the many customers injuries, apartment noise complaints, seizure lawsuits, and most customers not realizing the tutorial is set up as a calibration system. Way too many people skipped the tutorial even though literally 4 places explained simply to detail reasons to play it. The game also saying you can jump but you can’t fly. Way too many comments about why the game should enable flying or at least sky driving.
Got myself a quest a while back for a birthday gift from my father who works at the company and I have to say it’s fantastic for SUPERHOT. Not having a cord or cameras to knock over means you can dodge really well and pull off even more satisfying runs.
1:26, heh, the irony being that lightboxes are not cameras and that the oculus headset is LITTERALLY COVERED IN CAMERAS THAT RECORD YOUR ROOM in order to do roomtracking (which i would consider clever if it wasn't facebook)
For headaches in VR try wearing Blue Light Blocking Glasses, I’m able to consistently play for 4+ hours a day with no headache, I use GMG Performance glasses.
Yahtzees new book is actually INCLUDED in the Australian Audible subscription, along with nearly ALL Alien audiobooks and the Division GraphicAudio audiobook which is surprisingly good. INCLUDED means you can stream them for FREE!
Sport understander here: the joke about Leeds United doesn't make sense strictly speaking, as they have played forty-odd games of football per season since their election to the Football League in 1920. However, at the time this video was published, Leeds United had only *won* three games in this current season (out of fifteen played so far), so unbelievably the joke actually kinda works!
Okay but the clicking together thing for two handed weapons actually sounds cool. The most we've gotten so far has been from stuff like the Wii and PlayStation Move where the two controllers awkwardly click into a vaguely rifle shaped frame.
There are plenty of physical gun stocks now that come with magnets for your controllers, so it hangs on your body with a sling. When you pickup a 2 handed weapon, you just lower your hands and they magnetize to the stock. I can't imagine playing games without it. They're around $80-100
Neck pain with the quest 2 can be fixed by getting a Elite Strap, best if you get some weight in the back of it. You can even compine this by addin a powerbank w/ fastcharging, and now you have more battery all the sudden, good shit right?
VR I might bother with? Crazy. Also I happened to notice Yahtzee's book before hearing about it here, finished earlier today. Still good, didn't see Leslie coming and she was great. Trying to be as spoiler light as possible though so thats it. Did sync up with Yahtzee on the mysteries in this one though, usually he keeps me guessing but not here.
As someone who also doesn't follow sport I can attest that your Leeds United joke sounded something like what I imagine a real sporting joke to sound like
all that talk about corpo boot licking, and not one mention of the censorship? even brought up the qtes as a point of preserving the mistakes of the past, the segue was right there.
I've not been too guilty to let Meta keep my account going while enjoying the Quest 2, because I'm so chronically uninteresting that farming my data is likely to kill them from boredom. See? I'm fighting the power.
@@SherrifOfNottingham Apparently the PC building company got 20 million dollars from Facebook for a name they only had a few months, so I'm not super sympathetic to the other greedy company either.
Don't indulge them. It's Facebook, and calling them anything else is like the shift from Nazis to Alt Right, moving away from the toxic name in favour of something bigger. It's what they want, so we shouldn't do it.
Don't forget the ability to now dual weild the gun and the knife!!! Also, you can get adapters for the Vive Deluxe Audio Strap. Then an adapter for a power bank to sit on the back of your head. Sure it is buying more stuff, but not needing headphones is great. And hell, I don't usually end up running the power bank, but it is great for all day sessions and it counter balances the front weight of the headset itself.
i found that my quest 1 was really heavy on the front of my head until i found one of the magic adjustable strap thingies which made the weight feel a lot more evenly distributed around my head
While I don’t doubt it, nobody gonna really buy this if for no other reason Facebook. It’s not that the tech is not legit, but unlike smartphones it’s not subtle or practical enough to sneak in. And I don’t think there are enough stupid people with money that are gonna fall for it.
I think it would be bad to support because supporting 1. facebook; and 2. games exclusive to one specific model of one specific range of vr headsets would only spell bad things for the future of vr. I think it's best that things like this are not supported because companies will continue once that precedent is set because they know people will buy it
I remember when Linus Tech Tips casually said "yeah the privacy ship sailed long ago" reviewing the quest and half of the comments were smugly defending and denying facebook data practices at the time. "Why would zuckerberg want to know your VR activities? Why do you care when big corpo wants to see your beat saber scores? You are nothing to big brother anyways!" Well that was an expedited nightmare.
Interestingly enough Gunslinger Stratos an Arcade game already they have them in america at round ones already has the twin guns that kinda hook together they even use magnets and stuff to kinda help stick together so you can attach and detach them real fast it works pretty well actually.
Just got a quest 2 cause I had wanted to play vr and can't put cameras around the house and I gotta say it's a fun experience and a solid vr choice in my decidedly in experienced opinion
So Yahtzee's had the Oculus, PSVR, Valve Index, and now the OQ2. That's at least four headsets unless I missed him getting a Vive at one point too. At least someone's out here to report on the differences between all the VR options, because lord knows most people can't afford to buy them to check for themselves.
Excited to pick up Existentially Challenged, I really enjoyed Differently Morphous. This basically echoes all of my feelings about RE4 VR. My biggest complaints are that you can't flick the pin off of the Red9 reloader thing with motion controls like you can snap the magnum shut (seriously you already had it programmed in there, just apply it to the Red9!) and that The Mercenaries was not included. I definitely haven't had enough of this game in VR yet but I've already finished the story twice now (once on each difficulty) and it only gets easier from there in New Game + so I was really looking forward to some Mercenaries to get my fill and it just wasn't there
Love the little nod to hitchhiker’s guide about being the first against the wall when the revolution comes. I have just gone ahead and got your new audiobook too as it feels like I had been waiting so long since Will Destroy the galaxy for cash. Been waiting on tender hooks or something. Also glad you release straight to audiobook and narrate it yourself as I cannot read it write so I had better stop now 😬
Literally the only thing that ruins the Q2 for me is the fact that you NEED a Facebook account to even use it, I’ve never made one and I absolutely refuse to do so in my entire life
i got a quest for 200$ from walmart. not only is it slightly more affordable than taping a phone to your face. it is cheaper since the Gear VR cost 60$ for the headset 30$ for the controller and a phone that will still support it for 200$
Fun fact. You could disable all QTE events in this version through a setting in game XD This was my first VR game. it was definitely a wild experience.

After seeing it on the store, I was disgusted, expecting a shameless bundle of like 4 minigames loosely based off Resi 4, only to see the only negative reviews were for the wonkiness of VR and unnecessary censorship. I was baffled at how they managed to make a successful port of Resi 4 on the quest 2 without selling it for 60 bucks. Out of respect, I had to try it out, and I must say it's now one of my favorites. A majority of my issue with the original was the awkward aiming controls. It was something I could just get used to, but after being spoiled on so many shooters, I didn't feel like wrangling with it. In VR, obviously, aiming is a whole different monster meaning it's not only easier, but far more immersive and much more terrifying to have monsters closing in on you just as you run out of shotgun ammo. Extra major props to the first two setpieces that genuinely scared me, the first being the sewers with the locust creatures and the second being shortly after with the hedgemaze full of dogs. At first I was fine with the latter, until I heard the dogs charge at me from behind, not having considered they could hop the walls. I haven't gotten much further at this point, but I'm definitely looking forward to playing more!
Yatzhee is the only thing that never changes, thanks man
And war
@@legitplayin6977 MGS taught me that war can change....
Except that hat.
that he doesnt wear in real life
3:00 Just to give you the quick summary;
Third person, snooty-shooty, campy Europeans, bad dialogue, campy-campy, oooh scary-scary, monster fights, village, castle, island, big tits, jug ears, HELP! LEON! Smuggity-smug, deadity-dead.
I know a lot of people, myself included, who would probably own one of these if it didn't require a facebook account.
This is changing soon - apparently….
@@snackplaylove with the whole "Metaverse"?! ha! fat chance
@@snackplaylove Sure hope so, I have a Quest 1 and they previously said they were gonna require a Facebook account on that starting in 2023
Otherwise I'll have to pay a lot more for a different headset.
Definitely. It looks like the best on the market but the fact that Facebook is selling them for so cheap means they really want to put this device with outward facing cameras into your house. I don't trust that nonsense at all.
I'm so happy that you got a new book coming out. I love your narration. I though with making your game you and all your other commitments you wound't have time to write a new book. Also happy to hear it's a sequel to Differently Morphous.
The only issue I have with your audiobooks even though I love them. Is that I have no clue how to spell any of the characters names😄
I was literally listening to Differently Morphous when I clicked on this video, this has made my day.
Funny thing: it's a selling point he advertised when talking about his paperback releases!
I legit accidentally punched my sister in the face playing a vr game. Best money ever spent
Thanks!
I remember someone rigs a pipe, and then make it so you can stick the 2 controllers in it so you have some sort of immersion when using 2-handed weapons.
And yes.... the dilemma of buying Quest 2, on one hand its probably the best VR in the market just from the fact its wireless and no need to rig any camera. On other hand, Facebook.
That is my issue with it. I want to buy one but the linking to Facebook kinda makes me not want to.
Make a burner profile.
@@zancrus9629 Very Soon they're letting you not do that. And you can unlink Facebook in the meantime. I'm gonna do that first chance I get. I figure...they're doing really good stuff in VR, when the Next Thing comes out from a competitor that isn't Facebook for a really good price, that's wireless, then I'll jump ship and take the benefits of increased tech with me, so to speak.
there's companies that make magnetic gun stocks for vr controllers
@@Phantomdude tbh, my reference for that tube is actually the LTT video with Edzel, on their last Intel Extreme Tech Upgrade .
3:39 There's a Japanese arcade game that kinda does this. They have magnets on them that change the gun in game when snapped in one of two different positions. Gunslinger Stratos 3.
I've been wanting to take the dive into VR for some time now. The Oculus Quest finally seemed like the right hardware for me. It's wireless, there's no setup and, more importantly, it costs less than my house. I was waiting for the catch and I wasn't seeing one. Suddenly, here in a ZP video, I found it. The thing is bankrolled by fucking Facebook. Woof. That's a tough choice. Finally the VR hardware I've been wanting since I was a child but, to get it, I have to give money to Facebook. Yeah, I dunno. x_x
i was hesitent with the whole facebook thing, but for me what settled it was that i had never tried VR before and well teh quest 2 isnt half bad when it comes to teh specs its mid range, but the price is super super cheap, making it a really good headset to try VR and then maybe go for a more expensive one down the line. and the whole facebook thing isnt really a problem unless you use it and say something stupid on it and get your account locked out
@@nitebones1 I just don't like the idea of giving them money. But, meh. It's also supporting the Quest dev team so, I suppose it's whatever.
But, you have the Quest 2 then? How is it? Any problems? I mean, I'll definitely do some of my own research before buying but, the first step to that is just asking people that already have the hardware. :)
@@tarrker you do need to do some research in it, like a few items are needed like a better head strap, and a portable battry pack thing (just those ones that charge phones) but over all its a nice headset, andi defonetlly enjoy units it, its best if you know someone else has one and try theirs, but for the price it is a proper steal, its basicly a great entry level headset, i gave it a go on squadrens and bloody hell just the depth of feel on the game blows me away every time
@@tarrker I’d say it depends on your needs. If you’re a console gamer, then you can probably just buy the Quest 2 no extra attachments and have a blast. If you’re PC however, you’re gonna need a link cable or a suitable replacement of for SteamVR and the Rift stuff, you’re gonna find issue with the framerate, the resolution isn’t always the best, and especially for games like Alyx you’re gonna need to turn the settings way down especially if you want that 120hz refresh rate. But, as Yhatzee put it, all these gripes are meaningless because the vr kit itself is only 300$ and as I’m sure you’re aware good fucking luck finding anything else even remotely that cheap
Also quick edit an elite strap with battery is a great purchase, but ultimately not a requirement especially since it tacks on an extra 110 to your bill
Just a heads up, it's not there yet but Zuck did recently announced that at some point in the future you will not be required to login with your FB account. He didn't specify when that'd happen, just that it'll be available sometime within the next year. I bought a Quest 2 back in April and, FB bullshit aside, I absolutely fucking love it. It's a wonderful piece of hardware and absolutely worth the price of admission, especially now that they've retired the 64Gb version and the 128Gb is the entry model. Tons of great stuff to play natively, and it can connect to your PC with a single cable to play Steam VR stuff like Half-Life Alyx (don't get FB's bullshit $80 cable, there are tons of far cheaper and just as good alternatives). It can also stream pc vr games wirelessly, unfortunately it's a bit too laggy and the video quality is fairly poor for it to be useful, but the feature is still in beta so I don't count it as a strike against it.
Currently playing Re4 VR seeing the lets drown out episodes after each bit. Thx Yahtzee and Gabe!
You can play PCVR with a Quest 2 wirelessly using Air Link or Virtual Desktop if you have a VR Ready PC and an 802.11 AC or 802.11 AX router.
Virtual Desktop is weirdly the better option for most people. It tends to have the edge out of the two.
It is important to note that you need the Virtual Desktop from the Oculus Store, and not the one sold on Steam. They are both from the same dev, but one is for wired PC only headsets like the Index, and the other is intended to stream to the Quest 2.
It's also worth mentioning that even if you don't ever intend to use the Quest 2 with a link cable connection, it is worth it to buy a longer USB C cable, because hooking the Quest 2 up to a PC for stuff like sideloading requires verification in the Quest 2 while it is connected with the cable, and good luck doing that with the cable that comes with it while it is plugged into a PC.
I highly recommend this if your PC can run PCVR and you have a Quest 2. It will run any Steam VR title wirelessly, as well as Oculus App PCVR titles like Lone Echo.
Wireless PCVR is amazing. I have an Index and haven't touched it since wireless VR became a thing on the Quest 2. Wireless easily trumps better controllers.
There was a good FPS game for this system that was on the market place for a week before being taken off. The best $20 I ever spent and now my account is worth $2000 for having this one game.
It is called “Jump N Shoot,” the game literally took 3 hours to calibrate however. Imagine that old Motion Light gun arcade game but focus on jumping as well.
It was taken off the market because of the many customers injuries, apartment noise complaints, seizure lawsuits, and most customers not realizing the tutorial is set up as a calibration system. Way too many people skipped the tutorial even though literally 4 places explained simply to detail reasons to play it.
The game also saying you can jump but you can’t fly. Way too many comments about why the game should enable flying or at least sky driving.
Got myself a quest a while back for a birthday gift from my father who works at the company and I have to say it’s fantastic for SUPERHOT. Not having a cord or cameras to knock over means you can dodge really well and pull off even more satisfying runs.
I hope your father goes to confession on a regular basis. 😉
OMG THE SEQUEL TO DIFFERENTLY MORPHOUS I DIDNT KNOW IT HAD ALREADY RELEASED
The biggest letdown is the village bear trapped dog once released cowers from you in first person now 😭
"You can deepthroat on cheat day."
A diet I just may be able to stick to.
1:26, heh, the irony being that lightboxes are not cameras and that the oculus headset is LITTERALLY COVERED IN CAMERAS THAT RECORD YOUR ROOM in order to do roomtracking (which i would consider clever if it wasn't facebook)
2:00
I guess I'm not the only who thought that..
lol
The thing that startled me most about playing RE4 in VR is how absurdley small Ashley's head is
It also startled me quite a bit. She looks like a life-size doll or something.
the writing of these is still so solid, feels like a time capsule
The Wii literally had a peripheral that lets you physically connect a Mote and a nunchuck
5:00 when i played RE 4 VR i had the QTEs turned off? I played day one. the only Qte i had to do was waggle the remotes.
I did wonder of he did wear that hat, thank you for answering my anticipated question.
Jesus, I guess with this now Facebook has a digital record of what the inside of your house looks like. No wonder the price tag is so cheap.

For headaches in VR try wearing Blue Light Blocking Glasses, I’m able to consistently play for 4+ hours a day with no headache, I use GMG Performance glasses.
Yahtzees new book is actually INCLUDED in the Australian Audible subscription, along with nearly ALL Alien audiobooks and the Division GraphicAudio audiobook which is surprisingly good.
INCLUDED means you can stream them for FREE!
The Leeds United joke is incredibly well timed, well done!
I realized I was shorter than The Merchant. Even Ashley.
Loving this port so far.
Sport understander here: the joke about Leeds United doesn't make sense strictly speaking, as they have played forty-odd games of football per season since their election to the Football League in 1920. However, at the time this video was published, Leeds United had only *won* three games in this current season (out of fifteen played so far), so unbelievably the joke actually kinda works!
I've waited so long for this announcement. This audiobook is my best Christmas bounty yet!
"no I don't still wear this hat in real life"
*monocle drops*
The plot twist nobody saw coming! =O
Okay but the clicking together thing for two handed weapons actually sounds cool. The most we've gotten so far has been from stuff like the Wii and PlayStation Move where the two controllers awkwardly click into a vaguely rifle shaped frame.
There are plenty of physical gun stocks now that come with magnets for your controllers, so it hangs on your body with a sling. When you pickup a 2 handed weapon, you just lower your hands and they magnetize to the stock.
I can't imagine playing games without it. They're around $80-100
Neck pain with the quest 2 can be fixed by getting a Elite Strap, best if you get some weight in the back of it. You can even compine this by addin a powerbank w/ fastcharging, and now you have more battery all the sudden, good shit right?
He doesn't wear that hat anymore! My world view is shaken.

Yahtzee bring the BIG GUNS this Holiday Season
1:02 I see Yahtzee pays respect to the Keeper of the Forbidden Code and Master of the Anti-Life equation John Carmack.
The clipping of controllers ideas are actually really good, I wonder if any companies will actually use that
VR I might bother with? Crazy.
Also I happened to notice Yahtzee's book before hearing about it here, finished earlier today. Still good, didn't see Leslie coming and she was great. Trying to be as spoiler light as possible though so thats it. Did sync up with Yahtzee on the mysteries in this one though, usually he keeps me guessing but not here.
love a cheeky douglas adams reference, stay hoopy my frood
I actually shouted “Yes” out loud when you announced that book Yahtz. Keep them coming
i started jumping up and down while clapping my hands and saying "yupeeeee"
The recap of Re:4 was perfect
As someone who also doesn't follow sport I can attest that your Leeds United joke sounded something like what I imagine a real sporting joke to sound like
Time to finally read differently morphus
all that talk about corpo boot licking, and not one mention of the censorship? even brought up the qtes as a point of preserving the mistakes of the past, the segue was right there.
He definitely still wears that hat
I've not been too guilty to let Meta keep my account going while enjoying the Quest 2, because I'm so chronically uninteresting that farming my data is likely to kill them from boredom. See? I'm fighting the power.
Meta is a gaming PC building company, facebook is trying to steal the name by just being more well known, don't suck off the zucc
@@SherrifOfNottingham Apparently the PC building company got 20 million dollars from Facebook for a name they only had a few months, so I'm not super sympathetic to the other greedy company either.
I would just hack the effing thing to remove the meta/Facebook bs, heh
@@SherrifOfNottingham
I'll call Facebook by that new stupid name the moment they produce something more relevant to society than their garbage website
Don't indulge them. It's Facebook, and calling them anything else is like the shift from Nazis to Alt Right, moving away from the toxic name in favour of something bigger. It's what they want, so we shouldn't do it.
Wait, taking a dig at Leeds, you sir are a legend!
I wonder if he regrets putting his avatar with that hat
Don't forget the ability to now dual weild the gun and the knife!!! Also, you can get adapters for the Vive Deluxe Audio Strap. Then an adapter for a power bank to sit on the back of your head. Sure it is buying more stuff, but not needing headphones is great. And hell, I don't usually end up running the power bank, but it is great for all day sessions and it counter balances the front weight of the headset itself.
i found that my quest 1 was really heavy on the front of my head until i found one of the magic adjustable strap thingies which made the weight feel a lot more evenly distributed around my head
This is the best VR game ever, I hope it gets people into VR cause RE4VR is incredibly fun
You are not wrong. My wife which is not a gamer has played this thing 8 times through. I would like to see more of these as official launches
While I don’t doubt it, nobody gonna really buy this if for no other reason Facebook.
It’s not that the tech is not legit, but unlike smartphones it’s not subtle or practical enough to sneak in. And I don’t think there are enough stupid people with money that are gonna fall for it.
I think it would be bad to support because supporting 1. facebook; and 2. games exclusive to one specific model of one specific range of vr headsets would only spell bad things for the future of vr. I think it's best that things like this are not supported because companies will continue once that precedent is set because they know people will buy it
The Leeds joke landed very nicely
I remember when Linus Tech Tips casually said "yeah the privacy ship sailed long ago" reviewing the quest and half of the comments were smugly defending and denying facebook data practices at the time. "Why would zuckerberg want to know your VR activities? Why do you care when big corpo wants to see your beat saber scores? You are nothing to big brother anyways!" Well that was an expedited nightmare.
Interestingly enough Gunslinger Stratos an Arcade game already they have them in america at round ones already has the twin guns that kinda hook together they even use magnets and stuff to kinda help stick together so you can attach and detach them real fast it works pretty well actually.
I wish Yahtzee still wore that hat in real life :(
Just got a quest 2 cause I had wanted to play vr and can't put cameras around the house and I gotta say it's a fun experience and a solid vr choice in my decidedly in experienced opinion
Yep, VR is wireless now and couldn't be any better. Well it could be a lot better but this is a huge jump.
The intro to this episode is incredibly well written, even for Yahtzee standards.
Damnit, he doesn't still wear that hat in real life.
So Yahtzee's had the Oculus, PSVR, Valve Index, and now the OQ2. That's at least four headsets unless I missed him getting a Vive at one point too.
At least someone's out here to report on the differences between all the VR options, because lord knows most people can't afford to buy them to check for themselves.
Not sure if the joke made sense, but I felt the urge to laugh at Leeds United, so it was obviously a good one.
I think the Leeds joke was great. From a Leeds fan ✊️
Excited to pick up Existentially Challenged, I really enjoyed Differently Morphous. This basically echoes all of my feelings about RE4 VR. My biggest complaints are that you can't flick the pin off of the Red9 reloader thing with motion controls like you can snap the magnum shut (seriously you already had it programmed in there, just apply it to the Red9!) and that The Mercenaries was not included.
I definitely haven't had enough of this game in VR yet but I've already finished the story twice now (once on each difficulty) and it only gets easier from there in New Game + so I was really looking forward to some Mercenaries to get my fill and it just wasn't there
Mercenaries is confirmed to be coming in a future update. Rejoice!
@@IanZWhite00 I hope this is real because I want it bad
The hard on gets me every bloody time!! Great vid as always yahtz mate! Cheers
First thing I did before I'd even watches the video was go and buy that audiobook. More Yahtzee Moar!!!!!!!
Love the little nod to hitchhiker’s guide about being the first against the wall when the revolution comes. I have just gone ahead and got your new audiobook too as it feels like I had been waiting so long since Will Destroy the galaxy for cash. Been waiting on tender hooks or something. Also glad you release straight to audiobook and narrate it yourself as I cannot read it write so I had better stop now 😬
Thank god finally another audiobook! Please keep writing, I'm enjoying it!
Yeah but without the chapped lips it just doesn't feel like dehydration to me.
yahtzee coming up with the revolutionary idea of the protube is always gonna be hilarious
Holy shit, just realized the first “shooter season” was 10 years ago and I’m having trouble dealing with that.
Whooh, hold the phone @2:07 You are saying I have to have fuckbook to use this product? Really!? Well they well never see a penny from me!!!!
I don't care if Zucc bought this VR exclusive for his platform, there is no way in hell I'm buying a Facebook anything
Reupload the SimCity Societies episode
People deserve to see the touching love story between Heavy and Medic
Is there still lost ZP episodes? I thought they had uploaded them all.
@@danielasilva69457 SimCity Societies is still missing last I checked, even from the Escapist site
Because the credits used Stevie Wonder and AC/DC
Literally the only thing that ruins the Q2 for me is the fact that you NEED a Facebook account to even use it, I’ve never made one and I absolutely refuse to do so in my entire life
a counterweight on the back really evens out the head bobbing
i got a quest for 200$ from walmart. not only is it slightly more affordable than taping a phone to your face. it is cheaper since the Gear VR cost 60$ for the headset 30$ for the controller and a phone that will still support it for 200$
Fun fact. You could disable all QTE events in this version through a setting in game XD
This was my first VR game. it was definitely a wild experience.
Will be super curious to see how VR gets jailbroken over time.
