Meta Quest 3 | OT + Review Thread |

I finally got around to side loading Quake 4 (available via Team Beef Patreon and well worth it) and spent the evening demolishing Stroggs and thoroughly enjoying it. What a blast.

so you guys think will ever get something on the same same scale and quality as HL Alyx?

Did you not find the Batman VR game up to that level? Quite a number of people found it more enjoyable, and I've seen quite a number of people also find the various PSVR2 RE games above Alyx too, I guess specifically RE4R and Village.

graphically Batman is not up there with Alyx, it is a (PCvr game afterall)
Re vr games aren't up there in the terms of physics

Well then if we're going to be that picky, and you probably have a repute for Horizon too, because that one matches both graphically and has the physics - but I'm sure it's lacking some other thing... or something like GT7 which has the graphics and physics are perfect, well as perfect as a racer can be, or maybe even the hitman collection of games on PSVR2, (there's probably a dozen more games like Red Matter 2, the Metro 2033 one, and so forth) the answer is simply no.

VR is not, and will never be popular enough for a game exactly like Alyx to be made where the game doesn't lose or at least have a super high risk of losing tons of money, so any such endeavor would have to be at a loss. We know this very well, let's not be coy. It's the reason why every single popular franchise which gets a VR entry is met with distain from most gamers.

The game which most likely actually would have passed your test, is proof to the answer. Astrobot 2. That would have been the game which passes your test, and the developers and Sony both choose to shun VR to make it a regular console game instead.

Sony could of done something special with Vr they chose not too , they could of put Vr on the map way more then it is now ! create a AAA vr game and get people talking , the fact that Alyx is a PC only game its not getting to most kids today! most people don't know about Alyx, you do need a really good pc to play Alyx..not everyone have a good pc

I am personally just not interested in Half Life. So even though a lot of people praise Alyx....its not a game I care to play. Neither are horror/survival games.
 
Doing another playthrough of Assassin's Creed Nexus. Might be a top 5 vr game for me. Playing more of a stealth style absolutely shines.

What I like about the Meta store is that they always have a promo code you can use. So, you can always get a discount.
They are also usually cheaper than Steam.
Of Lies and Rain was $10 cheaper than Steam and I used promo code REAPERZVR and got it down to $24.
 
Some new releases like Men In Black, some new reveals like Guardians Planetfall, worth checking in (& much more)

I think Meta is floundering with their VR strategy.
They've tried to push the Horizon Worlds stuff and ended up just having VR slop all over their storefront. Then there are the 1000s of gorilla tag clones. Their reality labs is like net 70B in the red. Not sure how much of that is Quest VR but it's unlikely to be profitable if losses are in the billions across the division.
Respect to the VR devs keeping things alive. I really like VR as a different way to experience gaming and there is some genuinely creative stuff out there, but Meta chose to focus on completely the wrong stuff lately. Perhaps with Quest4 they'll take things in a better direction.
 
Love how more and more studios are going all in with these games.

I'm loving Thief VR. Was an old-school fan back in the day and now the series(like batman) continues in VR.

The gameplay previews of TMNT are gushing. GamertagVR can be pretty brutal and he didn't want to stop playing despite it being early.

They are giving away a META QUEST 3 at work next week along with other cool stuff. I have asked them to make sure I get the VR headset.

I see meta pushing forward in terms of first party games. Batman and Asgards Wrath are both getting sequels, deadpool was just released and we don't know what else they have planned. More is always better of course but I don't use horizon so I don't know about it. And the money spend is difficult to worry about when they've commit to hardware and software far in the future and they did cut horizon spending by 30%.

But I disagree that its just VR devs keeping it alive, in fact I would call Batman the best thing to happen to VR since Alyx, and that was funded from the ground up by Meta, as is Deadpool and Asgard Wrath trilogy. That's some serious cash on games that others aren't even trying to compete with.

I just got one of these arcade2tv-xr controllers(?) to use with my Quest 3. It can be used for PinballFX and, supposedly, MAME for arcade games (if you supply the roms). I've not set up mame yet, but playing pinball with it (and using the quest optimizer to bump resolution and framerate) is AMAZING. You can lean on the console and the flipper buttons are miuch more responsive than quest triggers. A haptic sound kit, plunger, and nudge sensors is coming in a month or so as well.

Anyway, if anyone else has one or has questions about it, fire away. I'm hoping to have some time to (allegedly) load some roms that (allegedly) appeared on my hard drive by (allegedly) magic to see how the arcade game emulation is (allegedly) but they have a virtual arcade room kinda like the pinball hall in PF-VR where you can decorate with favorite cabinets. It even came with 4 way, 8 way, and 360 joystick gates, so I might set one side up for dedicated 4 way games and use the other for the rest.

It can hook up to a TV as well, not just VR, but I have a vpin cab for 2D pinball already, as well as a few mame cabs. This thing though can sit against a wall to save a lot of space and make the wife (slightly more) happy :P

Yeah I jumped on that with the $100 Amazon credit, so $307 since Amazon credit is basically cash.

Hope streaming from PC isn't a lag fest.

It really depends on your router. Some of us have routers dedicated solely for VR. VR accessories is an expensive hole to go into but if it clicks, the experience is amazing.

I do have very good wifi but it's for the whole house. My VR experience so far is all wired, PSVR and PSVR2.

Yep. I love the PSVR2 on my PC but that wire really is a hinderance, especially when the kids try and flail all over the place.

What are some "must haves" that are Meta exclusives? I have already have Steam VR setup.

It really depends on what type of games you enjoy. What games have you played in VR and enjoyed?

The first purchase I would recommend is Virtual Desktop. It's the best way to stream wireless from a PC. Then you can play all those Steam VR games and ditch the cable.
 
2 much VR stuff again like almost every day (ok some of these are yesterday's). Some of it:

So I didn't need the Virtual Desktop app to get my Steam VR games to work wireless, played Alyx just fine. Let me tell you guys though, the LCD sucks compared to the OLED in PSVR2. Alyx is a dark game, and it really suffers.

Yes, you can stream via Air link with the Meta app, or with the Steam app on the Quest. But Virtual Desktop can give a better picture.
 
It's more comfortable than the PSVR2 but it really does not work with my glasses. It gets stuck on my glasses and pulls them off my face when I take the headset off and it's really difficult to actually fit it over my glasses. Yes, I have the spacers all the way extended. I did get inserts for the PSVR2 because that fit my glasses better it was just uncomfortable.

Still on the fence if I'm keeping this or going to return and wait for the Steam Frame.

Just buy magnetic lenses from AliExpress, they're like $20-$30 with all the bells and whistles. I'm sure they're the same place that western lens sellers use and they just tack on $50 for their profit.

I'll do that. Any thoughts on the various battery straps out there? Official or otherwise?
