I think they were just welcoming back PlayStation to VR activity again.
Quest has the right easy to use hardware with great tech at the right time - a time when it's relatively easy to port 5 years worth of VR content to their mobile chip and still enough people new to VR that never played such games, so it's all games and fun... so I can see it quickly amassing a large audience - not forgetting veterans like me also wanting to check out latest advancements or pc players willing to trade their old headsets for more resolution and zero external sensors...

That little factoid about PSVR selling more headsets than any other (until now?) was always meaningless.
PSVR was the ONLY headset you could ever buy if you were on playstation. There are literally dozens on PC to choose from. And once a small amount of time has passed, it makes no sense to keep buying an old/outdated headset and the sales move to the next hotness.
If it's true that the Quest 2 has outsold PSVR, that is an absolutely insane achievement.

and the sum of them all never reached the sales of psvr or Quest.
cheap and easy to use are not part of pc vocabulary - it'll never be for the masses, only for enthusiasts with deep pockets and lots of free time to troubleshoot issues and fine tune game settings...

No, not yet. According to Rec Room developer, Quest 2 sold 2 to 3 million units until now vs more than 5 million PSVR. Still extremely impressive.

I've been using the Quest 2 in tandem with my gaming laptop recently. My current obsession is trying to play Resident Evil CODE Veronica X in VR using Dolphin VR. There's still bugs to iron out, but once I get off from work I'll explore fixing them! I also use 3DSenVR to play NES games in VR and it's amazing. Also when I get off from work I want to see which games I can get working with VorPx, a Windows driver for VR that lets you play certain non VR games in VR. It's great to re experience these non VR games in VR for a semi fresh new experience!

something fishy in this update for Warhammer Battlesister:
the overall feeling is that the left image labeled Quest 1 looks better, by having better lit scenes, more contrast and colors. But then you look around 0:34 and character model on the right looks much more details.
but hey, the dev is in the comments saying the video has the sides mislabeled...

Played some DOOM Eternal on Quest 2 paired with a MOGA Hero pocket controller via Virtual Desktop to ShadowPC cloud instance. It worked extremely well, even better than this video, it's just how Quest 2 records your session.

Can you customize the monitor size where it feels like you're playing on a huge screen?

Oh yeah, it's just Virtual Desktop's environments options. You can do big movie theaters with 40ft screen, the moon, customize, etc.

HEllo guys, just a question.
We are working on a VR experience / game, aiming several VR hardware (quest 2 mainly, then rift etc...). Are we allowed to post a google form in this thread? Would be very useful for us.
Thanks.

This reminds me when we played coop saints row 4... In vr in big screen cinema sitting next to each other. Friend played on big cinema screen and I had my own displayed before me. We could both see each other monitors, each other, throw popcorn and talk to each other. It's couch coop in vr!

Man... maybe I should get quest 2... This was done on Rift S year ago before I returned it
tbh this was so mingblowing to do omg. We finished Sain's Row4 this way and some halo
So it's Raint's row 4 is happening in VR, in VR cinema, on VR screen, on VR headsets... yeah...

I'd normally mark this as straight shovelware, but it's so ridiculously funny and well thought out I can't do that, seriously, watch it:
the voices remind me Banjo & Kazzoie. It's a well done puzzler, the first came to psvr years ago, though I didn't give it a chance. This looks expanded and way better in every way, think it's coming to psvr and pc too.
Yes, it's only teleport. So what? It's a puzzle game, you go from scene to scene, you're not running for your life...

They outsold all their previous devices combined in less time on the market. VR has definitely arrived and there's no going back. I read an interview the other day where the oculus big wigs were talking about how we were going to be blown away at the heavy-hitting software coming to VR in the coming months and years. We'll see.

So yeah, I went to my company for an inspection of product, had only been there physically like 2 times since the beginning of the year. Random chatter at work, I end up finding this old guy I know has a Quest 2, I talk more with him and I find out like 12 peoples at work have a Quest 2. Like WTF? I then realized this thing is on a whole new mainstream level. They even play together in Onward.

You bastards, you all got me hyped for the Oculus (both with this and that troll "next gen thread" ), and now I've just gone and ordered one! It was a strange experience buying one - I decided that I wanted one, found a place selling them and simply placed a order. As someone who has been wanting to build a new PC for the past 6 months, actually being able to just purchase hardware like that is very unsettling!
A question about the Facebook account:
I nuked my real one many, many years ago, but have kept one with just a silly nickname and no friends connections for when websites ask you for a Facebook account n order to log in. Would it be ok to use that one, or do you need to use your official name?
I don't want to make the same mistake I made with PC and create a bloated backlog by buying too many games at once. I think it's better to have too few games rather than too many, at least you appreciate the ones you have more that way. To get me started, I will buy 3 to begin with, and then limit myself to just one new game per month thereafter. I'm pretty much brand new to the whole VR experience, so even the older games will be new and fresh to me.
I want to get a nice spread of different genres. Just like at the dawn of home 3D gaming, I feel a great sense of excitement and curiosity about how each type of game will translate to the brand new paradigm. My first 3 will be:
1. Super Hot - I've wanted to try this one for a long time. Looks like a real VR classic.
2. Beat Saber - I've heard nothing but good things about this, plus it should be a good one to try to get non-gaming family and friends into VR.
3. The Thrill of the Fight - I've traditionally always included a sports game among my first purchases of any new console, and this with seems like a particularly good choice with the gyms still closed where I am.
I've spent a good part of today getting up to speed on what games are available and which ones are good and think that
May: Moss - I'd love to try Astro Boy to get my first taste of what a VR platformer plays like, but this seems like a good second choice.
June: Dash Dash World - I want to try a VR racing game, and everyone says this is a like a VR Mario Kart, which can only be a compliment.
July: Journey of the Gods - I'll probably be in the mood for a meaty, Zelda-like adventure after all the racing and action of previous months.
August: Vader Immortal - even though I'm not the biggest Star Wars fan, swinging a light sabre around just seems like it'd be great fun!
September: The Room VR: A Dark Matter - seems like a great puzzle game
October: The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners - heard good things about this, and it should make a nice game to play around Halloween
November: Path of the Warrior - this doesn't look like anything amazing, but I'm very curious about how a Streets of Rage style brawling will feel like in VR.
December: I'll leave this slot free for now. I can think of at least 10 games I could put here. I might buy Sam and Max, if it's out by then.
I hear a lot of the games are pretty short, but that's fine with me. I'm not a huge fan of big, bloated, modern games, and have retro consoles to fill in the gaps anyway.

Waiting my Quest 2 to finally arrive tomorrow!
Can someone explain to me how much of the performance hit I will get while running game in VR compared to my 1440p high refresh rate monitor?
I've adjusted the settings of all games that I can play in VR to run smoothly at 1440p@90hz on my desktop monitor, BUT only today I realized that image needs to be rendered twice for stereo image and I can only guess what performance penalty I will get.
Games I want to play are: No Man's Sky, Skyrim, HL: Alyx, PCars, Dirt Rally 2.0 etc.
Also if someone can tell what performance hit I will get using VORPX in G3D mode (full stereoscopic). For example "half of your frame-rate" on 1440p display etc.
My setup: 8700k@4.5Ghz, RTX 2070S, 32Gb.
Big thanks!

I can't remember but I have a similar setup. It'll be a hit, but the trade-off is SO fucking worth it. Your setup is enough for lower "mid-tier VR" which for me is miles better than 4k 90fps on a monitor.

I was teasing getting a quest 2 for a awhile. Lowballing tf out of people on marketplace mostly just to fuck with people thinking they can sell a used vr headset at full price or even more when amazon and target have plenty of stock. I finally bit the bullet and snagged one and a cable and am stoked. I'll see if I need the comfort strap later.

You should be, its literally the biggest leap in gaming history, and I mean even over the SNES to N64 jump.
The reason I ask this is the verbiage you are using sounds like a non-VR person waiting to "match the monitor" settings. Which is fine, I'm happy that you get to experience it like this, better than my first time. But it's just nothing like using a monitor in the slightest. You'll see. Wouldn't be surprised if you can do medium/high settings at a lot of AAA games 90hz. What game do you plan on playing first?

I will try No Man's Sky first, as I've already bought it and I know how it looks and performs. Then I will really to want to try Skyrim because it's like a point of reference. I want to compare the feelings between monitor and VR. and when I feel comfortable with VR I want to play Half-life Alyx, as a whole experience.
