Have we seen the new Quest pro leak? I am not going to lie. I am kind of looking forward to this even though it is not giving me my most wanted upgrades for a new headset such as a higher FOV and resolution. Mostly this seems like the very start of getting some kind of AR into peoples households. I am so ready for AR, I can already imagine a world in 2045 where everyone wears a pair of glasses walking around outside hooked to some kind of Quantum computer that uses the entire world as some kind of shared video game. I have some ideas, I am writing a movie script on this very idea at the moment. Ow and certain E-Bikes will be allowed to get around, the AR Graphic will change too look like you are riding some kind of mount to other players. However if you were to be driving around a car while inside the game it would be instant game death. |

Also why does Half-Life 2 still have better graphics than like 90% of the games today. --- End quote --- I think I made it almost to the end (about 80%) and it was getting hard so I got distracted with something else :). Seriously though, as much as I love my Reverb G2, in a game like Alyx where everything is dark almost all of the time, I nearly went back to my Odyssey. I really want an OLED high resolution display. The dark scenes are so much better when black is actually the absence of light as it should be. RE: Graphics This goes along with what I have been saying about ports. Most of the games made in the last 10 or even 15 years for pancake gaming have better graphics than most VR games. They were fully developed AAA titles, so a lot of time was spent to make the graphics as good as they could be for the hardware which was currently available. Almost always, this means that they are better than the lower budget VR offerings from indie developers of today. And if you mean today-today, there was no Quest headset to provide impetus to hobble the graphics so it could be run. :P The Quest Pro looks interesting until I saw the $1500 price tag. For me to pay that much for VR, it had better look like actual reality inside the unit and I hadn't better have my experiences limited to a walled garden where my data is being harvested the entire time. I also have virtually zero interest in AR. To me, AR is like pot. It takes the edge off, but you are still mostly functional. I am more of a "heroin" guy in that sense :) If I stick something on my head, I want as much immersion as I can get, so whatever extra they are charging for that feature is just wasted money to me. I don't know how the PSVR2 is going to compare, but for the same money or less, one is likely going to be able to get a high-end gaming console and the headset. Hopefully it will be a good unit, and someone will find a way to make it usable with a PC. I believe it will have a high-res RGB-stripe OLED display, so it already checks one of my boxes. Still going to harvest data through their walled garden, but given a choice, I'd feel better about that with Sony than Meta (FB). |

I have been using the HP G2 and Index controllers for the last two years and I think that combo is better than the PSVR2 and I already want more from my VR. I also feel like the PlayStation is much more of a walled guardian then the Quest. Have you not heard of things like SideQuest? Tons of software you can put on your quest for free. PlayStation was about to quit the VR game because they could not compete with Quest and they should have quit. Maybe this would have been interesting had it come out literally 2 years ago but like always they are way late to the party and now Meta Quest tech is far more advanced. I also heard that the PSVR1 games will not be compatible with the new headset… lol what a circus clown joke is all I have to say about that. |

Not to mention high-quality audio and advanced controller features. Seems like some interesting innovation to me. And I call BS on the "Sony about to quit VR" statement. This has been in development forever, and any statements Sony might have made like that was just to throw off Microsoft :). It also manages to do what it does with a single lightweight USB-C cable, which bodes well for the possibility of a PC hack down the line, if not eventually supported directly by Sony. They have started making some of their exclusive software titles for PC, so you never know. It's definitely not the end-all and there are definitely some things I don't care for (looking at you, Fresnel), but I expect that I will end up with a PS5 at some point anyway and it would be great to pull a plug and use it on the PC as well. And because of that, I won't be an early adopter if I do get one. But if it does end up being PC compatible and works well, I'll probably be in. If I could run the Quest (1,2,pro) without needing to be signed-in to Facebook, I would own one already. I don't, nor do I plan to ever use that platform. But if that new one knocks my socks off, I'd probably consider it. As I said, it would need to be something very spectacular for me to go against good judgment AND drop $1500 on it :). |

I have a hard time seeing why they would put out a headset for 1,500 or anywhere close to that. Does not make any sense with their VR adoption rate that they have been working to bring up. I mean I want to almost say they will bring it out for $500 -$600, after that it becomes a hard sell for none VR enthusiast. I mean if they are going to offer AR pass through most people don't even have a concept of what that is. |
