I hate the naming structure of the Oculus products. Is this the next mainline VR, or is it a sequel to the cheaper option? Why can’t they just use numbers? Did they retire the “rift” name? Also yeah, stupid Facebook and all that crap.

I have a Windows Mixed Reality headset.
It isn't zucked, it isn't $1000 (incredibly affordable actually), it doesn't require base stations, it has actually tolerable controllers unlike the Vive, and it's 6DoF.
The tracking can be a little jank at times, but tell me it isn't still the most based VR system.

This is a replacement for the Quest, the old one has been discontinued and no longer for sale on Amazon. You can still get the Rift S though.

So the rumors that it will be 300$ are bullshit right?
No way they can go that cheap.

It's supposed to be a lite version or something but even if it's not, facebook may be selling at a loss to get numbers again.

$299 for 64gb and $399 for 256gb, seen the leak from 2 different sources.

The old Quest has been discontinued so it's supposed to be a true replacement.

will it have a SD card slot?

probably not but 64gb of storage is actually plenty, quest games dont take up much storage

Will the link cable make a return?

this is all speculation since it's not out yet but i'd be kind of shocked if it didn't support it. why implement it on the original quest but not it's sequel?

You mean a completely software based solution for pushing video signal through a USB c cable? Nah they probably won't include that this time around

If this normiebait doesn't succeed VR is actually dead for good and I'm jumping ship to the AR meme

I've been holding out on VR because I keep hearing that all of the headsets have significant drawbacks.
Hoping this one will finally be what I'm looking for.

I'm disappointed I didn't start an argument with this.

Here are the most based headsets in order
HP Reverb G2 > Index > WMR > Quest > everything else

I only want to play half life alyx, i dont give a fuck about anything else.

>Index that high
>$1000
>outside tracking
>controllers that break way too soon
You're right about Reverb G2 being where it is though, considering it's an upgrade to WMR.

I haven't gotten to play HLA yet, but I've tried the demo environments they put on SteamVR, and I really wanna.

won't need one hopefully
>Carmack suggested the idea of a USB Oculus WiFi dongle which would pair directly to the Quest. With this, the CTO suggested Facebook could make a “super high quality” wireless experience and that he was “pretty excited about that direction”.

Carmack is off the oculus team.

I can't justify selling my Rift S for a Reverb when the controllers and tracking is such a downgrade. In a video it looks like it tracks poorly compared to the Rift S when you hold the controllers close to your face. It doesn't help that the tracking rings are xbox hueg as well, they look like frisbees they're totally ridiculous.

I already have old Valve index but I'd rather buy last Valve VR than any occulus shit. Fuck faceberg

it's an old quote also he's still a consulting CTO

I wonder what sony will shit out as replacement for the PSVR on PS5.

They're a bit big, but using a Lenovo Explorer myself, it's pretty much completely fine. I almost never bring my hands so close to my face in VR, and the tracking rings are finely sized.

i bet sony would probably just use fuckulus

I heard their patents for psvr2 include proper tracking sensors and a cutdown version of fingertracking controllers.

i now i'm going to get a lot of hate for this, but i played a bit of PSVR at a my nephews house last year, and it was actually decent.
Problem is the lack of good games.

Well, i expect at least something like the oculus, but with a wirless conection, to stay relevant.

Hope you have a facebook account ready to be linked so zuck can see if you do anything naughty.
