At what point do we think the Zuck will realize he's wrong about VR?
I don’t think he’s wrong in my opinion. I have the Go and the Quest 1 and will probably get whatever comes after the Quest 2. It’s pretty mind blowing when you first put them on. The technology is really good and works well. They have some good games, Tetris is awesome in VR, and a few good YouTube videos. The problem is that’s about all there is. It’s a novelty. There’s just not enough good content to keep you using it all the time. If he can fix that I think he will start to get some traction with his headsets and VR in general. We’ll see.
Have you played Half-Life Alyx? I believe you can play it on the Q2 from a PC with Airlink or Virtual Desktop. I don't think anything meta ever puts out can compete. One of their mistakes was putting out a virtual spaces app that looks generations behind VRChat.
Alyx is cool, but the only way I've played it is tethered to a fat GPU
Haven’t played it. That’s actually why I skipped the 2. I was really hoping I could play half-life on it without having to use a PC but the stand alone headset is just not there yet. I’ve been mostly a console gamer since the first Xbox and I didn’t want to put together a PC just to play Alyx. I hear it’s awesome though and I’ve been halfway pricing parts for a build that can run it. I agree with you though there’s nothing even close from meta. The virtual chat looks like something that should be on the wii and most games on there feel half done and thrown together. I honestly think Zuck should just try to buy out the competition. Steam on the Quest is really what would make it a great experience.
