As someone who is considering upgrading to a quest 2, I'd like to know more. Everything I've read about it says it's close to top of the market in terms of visual quality and comfort. I presume I'd have to use it tethered with steamVR, just like my current acer headset... though I'm equally sure that undemanding titles should be OK untethered.
So what gives? Why do users in your circle regret it? And where does the vr community hang out, so I can learn more?
- brian-armstrong 5y agoYou're likely coming at it from the angle of already having a powerful gaming PC. A lot of people buy them hoping to end-run around that. The Quest can let you do that, but the promise turns out rather empty when people find out VRChat is much less capable without a PC. The other obstacle is full body tracking. Turns out this just works much better if you have lighthouses to begin with, plus a headset that uses them.
- ohthehugemanate 5y agoHuh. My Acer has just hand controllers, no towers. I haven't noticed a difference compared to when I used the same generation HTC vive.
- chaostheory 5y agoYou can use it wireless with Steam VR using Virtual Desktop. If you have the right setup, performance is close to wired. As a current Index and former Vive Pro, I can tell you that my Quest 2 has the most game time because of one thing: wireless. The other issue is Steam VR doesn’t have nearly as many people on multiplayer. VR Chat is interesting, but most people in VR don’t spend a good portion of their time there. Only VR Chat and one game take advantage of full body tracking. I wouldn’t focus to much on it.
