Pretty silly to dismiss gaming on Quest while glossing over the reasoning with the anti-metaverse argument when its own library is largely games and even Facebook push deep gaming experiences with deals like RE4VR, even if they also go after the casual crowd with fitness and such crap.
There's no reason to fear the metaverse because it's not happening, no corp will provide a digital universe as compelling as what you see in fiction for everyone to join, the metaverse will just be (or already is) collectively everything you do digitally in separate programs, games, apps, XR etc.
Quest is also a PC VR device making games like Alyx fully playable, dawgs. Also these are the guys hyping up Switch for delivering modern games in sub par ways, now they suddenly don't see the potential mobile soc hold for the future of gaming in every category, whether in or out of VR?
But sure, high end VR games like how Hitman 3 will soon be on PC, Alyx, hopefully this Horizon thing and more are great. Which doesn't make some awesome low-fi indie VR games any less fun, just as people like playing more than the next AAA hit outside VR. Other than that, nothing new.
Edit: sorry for triggering you ParaSeoul & ethomaz (& your alt phaedrus with 0 posts), it's just facts, that's why you don't argue against any of it and go on tangents about popular thing x you dislike or thing y not being as popular as you like, as if any of it matters vs something unreleased you could be arguing against with the same bs as it won't sell gazillions in a month or only do core games. Nobody insulted your Sony, PSVR2 will be great for those who scalp a PS5, it would be ace if it also worked on PC/they ported its games to PC, but they aren't the be all end all & for VR are a gen lttp no matter how you hard you push that next gen VR starts when Sony says so, everyone has to keep up at the same time, not after, not before either as Sony's is good enough until they decide it's time to bring a successor, rendering everything else obsolete, or superfluous, accordingly
The specs are incredibly shit on the Quest. It was clearly not designed with gaming in mind, nor was the price, which is why it's selling so well.
It's nice to see a dedicated device for VR that's for consumers. PC VR has so much overhead that it ostracizes a lot of the people that may be into it. Need a really expensive desktop to run it. But with a PS5 which if you can get it, can be as low as $400. Definitely more consumer friendly - having said that we do not know the price of the headset yet. I'm expecting $500-$600 minimum for the specs. Also no VR headsets have vibration motors in the headset, far as I've seen?
Er, Quest 2 got the best available VR mobile soc. If people didn't get it for games, if Facebook didn't see use in gaming, there'd be 0 reason to make a Quest 2 that only does games better yet sells faster. Of course it was designed for it, that's most of its content and why Touch controllers are so copied. By the time anything consumer based outside gaming takes off for VR, Quest 2 will already be obsolete and have served its purpose, via gaming which is what it mostly does. Just as RE4VR was pushed hard and broke VR sales records but won't be what gets casual VR outside games to take off. Oh yeah, PC gaming is expensive and doesn't have comfy couches, good points for 2022 by an out of touch casual nooblet. Even after Steam's constant growth despite chip shortages and PS5-like scalper prices for components you think nobody takes PC gaming seriously so PC VR will "suffer" the same fate (so, grow to eclipse every VR platform and get most VR games once the medium is as accepted as the flat gaming PC already reigns supreme in, like Alyx as a demanding VR game is already among the top sellers next to Beat Saber, casual Quest hype be damned)
Make a clown emoji all you want, the specs still suck for gaming. Cope your purchase if you want. I don't think it's worth it all.
I don't have any Quest, I've been trashing its unfair hype and speaking in favor of high end PC and console VR long before Sony told you fanbots it's time to care, maybe you missed it alongside all other facts/reality, but while you folks have been port begging Alyx for PSVR2, Quest (and 2) owners have been enjoying it for 2 years without any begging, as long as it's connected to a main (PC) gaming system, exactly as required for the PSVR2 (and any PC VR kit, but also, wirelessly to boot), oh so unfit for games! With your (lack of) logic one could say PSVR2 itself has no "specs" as you keep calling the internal systems given it can't play anything without a PS5. You're coping your possible future purchase nobody even said anything against, before knowing its contemporary competitors, rationalizing it with HMD vibrators & comparisons to years old stuff. Go port beg RE4VR
