I was expecting someone to say like, Vive or something. The Quest is that good? I see it being pitched as stand-alone. Does that mean you can't use it to do VR

I see it being pitched as stand-alone. Does that mean you can't use it to do VR for PC games (e.g., Skyrim)?
- k__ 6y agoEasier to set up. Cheaper. Gets tons of updates. Can be used with PC via VRDesktop/Oculus Link.
- shafyy 6y agoYou can still use it as a PCVR headset: https://support.oculus.com/444256562873335/ https://support.oculus.com/444256562873335/ It bascially turns into a Rift.

- MikusR 6y agoAt this point HTC headsets like Vive makes sense only in China. Everywhere else it's Valve Index at the top end, Quest/Rift S in the middle and discounted/used WMR headsets on the lower end.
- Filligree 6y agoThe Quest has worse tracking and slightly worse resolution, is about as comfortable on your head, but is far, far more convenient to use. It's not just about the raw specs, it's about the experience, and Oculus are doing everything right there. It's standalone; the tracking is worse (but not so bad as to be a problem) because there are no lighttowers; it uses optical recognition of your room instead. This means you can go absolutely anywhere, put it on, and be playing a game within sixty seconds. I've never had it fail on me, while I've lost count of the number of times I've had to reset the Vive. Getting that thing ready for play is more like five minutes. Might not seem like a huge deal, but it makes a difference. I also find that the curation matters. The Quest store doesn't seem to have bad games, just games that might not be to my personal taste. Steam... Not so much.
