I find this report funny because the quest is the real rift 2.
I don't buy this rumor one bit, if we saw carmack, mitchell or abrash leave then maybe I'd be worried but what does Iribe really have to his name? When I think back I see a botched launch of the original rift... that no doubt had a part in his "stepping down" as CEO towards the end of 2016...
In other words nothing to see...
- evo_9 8y agoI would say the something to see here is that Facebook is betting on stand-alone VR and not PC based VR going forward. I think this is a good bet as the main reason most of my friends have not gotten into VR is the necessity for a high-end gaming PC and the associated costs of VR in general. The Quest, while not cheap, is priced around the new norm for gaming machine which is much more palatable than the current VR cost/PC approach.
- kabacha 8y agoI'd say is pretty bad bet as stationary beasts are often not powerful enough for decent experience so stand-alone device is just a 100 steps back. I wouldn't be surprised if stand-alone VR user retain is in single digits. Some people watch movies but that's pretty much where real use case ends.
