$300 is what I paid for my Windows Mixed Reality headset, which is also inside out tracking. Works phenomenally well with Half Life Alyx.
But I do agree that it seems like a killer value - I'll probably preorder one!
- chaostheory 6y agoyeah but WMR requires a PC. Quest is an all in one device that you just turn on and put on your head.
- filoleg 6y agothat's why Oculus is killing off Rift S. Because Quest can do the exact same thing, but also function as a completely standalone device, all for $299/$399. It is indeed a killer value proposition.
- akhilcacharya 6y agoI do disagree there - the additional latency and compression artifacts are noticeable from some of the reviews of the Quest 1. I think the experience is still going to be better for graphically intensive games with a tethered headset.
- VRay 6y ago> Quest can do the exact same thing [as a Rift S] There's multi-frame latency and compression artifacts involved in this. It's really disingenuous to say that a Quest 2 is unambiguously better than an actual PC VR headset
- anilakar 6y agoI'd compare the Quest 2 to Nintendo's Wii and Switch. It's probably a good platform for the few exclusive titles that have been designed from the ground up to work on the gimmicky controllers and below-than-average hardware specs.
- bserge 6y agoYou can use the Quest to play PC games, too.
- chaostheory 6y agoThe old Quest can play Steam games. The new Quest addresses Quest 1's performance issues. When Quest 2 is linked to PC, I doubt most people would notice any large differences from Quest 2 vs say WMR or older gen Vives and Rift.
