Have you used the Quest 2? I've owned the original rift dev kit, a vive, a vive pro, and a quest 2.... the stand alone quest 2 experience is actually pretty amazing. I was skeptical, too, but it is quite impressive.
- lostgame 5y agoCurrent owner and I agree. It’s an incredibly quality experience compared to, E.G., the Vive, even!
- LegitShady 5y agoIt was released 4 years after the vive - I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.
- Kiro 5y agoWe're all asking you the same thing.
- LegitShady 5y agoI never compared the quest to a device released 4 years before it, so I guess the question is why you think that's a reply or why being better than a device released 4 years before is an endorsement. The pixel 4 is better than the original pixel. This shouldn't surprise anyone. Extrapolate.
- greentissue 5y agoI wouldn't say the pixel 4 is better. My Pixel XL still works great and has unlimited google photos upload. All pixels afterwards have a time limited google photo upload (photos can only live there for so long before counting against your data limit). My Pixel 3 has been a PoS since I got it and only gotten worse over time. For example after a software update the usb-c port is no longer reversible, it only charges if cable is inserted in specific direction. I hear pixel 4 has similar Quality issues as pixel 3.
- LegitShady 5y ago>My Pixel XL still works great and has unlimited google photos upload. Mine does too, although the unlimited photos has nothing to do with the phone but just google services. >For example after a software update the usb-c port is no longer reversible, it only charges if cable is inserted in specific direction. I currently have both a Pixel 3 and a Pixel 3a XL in front of me and this isn't true for either phone. Have you tried cleaning out the usb-c port of dust? There might be dirt build up on one side that isn't allowing all the charging pins to engage properly or something. Another issue might be with the cable.
- LegitShady 5y agoI won't spend money with oculus, as they're a company based on stolen technology who tried to consolize the VR market with exclusives they purchased. Paying them money is cutting your own throat.
- gear54rus 5y agoI pretty much agree but what do you mean stolen tech?
- narism 5y agoThey are probably talking about ZeniMax v. Oculus. ZeniMax owned the company where John Carmack worked. While the original Oculus Rift was being prototyped and later crowdfunded, Carmack was interested in VR and worked on the code/headset to get Doom 3 running on it. He later left to become the Oculus CTO. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZeniMax_v._Oculus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZeniMax_v._Oculus
- LegitShady 5y agoalso see this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28871907 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28871907 Carmack's actions in light of the pattern of Oculus acquiring tech from valve in shady ways can't be seen as anything other than just another guy betraying his former employer for oculus. A giant stain on his reputation for anyone who can see just how oculus was built.
- wly_cdgr 5y agoI read that thread and it has insider reports about how Valve chose to give its tech away to Oculus. How is that Oculus' fault? Also don't see the issue with Carmack. Code you write ethically belongs to you, no matter what the law or your employment contract says
