controllers are an optional first party accessory as shown in the demonstration. i'd expect it to work with 3rd party controllers as well. whether Meta games will port I'm not sure but since both are android based it shouldn't be too difficult?
- laweijfmvo 1y agoat $249, the headset plus controllers put it over $2000, which is a lot to spend on an unknown product that might be deprecated on arrival. The Meta Quest 3S includes controllers and is currently on sale for $249, and at least you mostly know what you’re going to get, even if they never release another VR headset.
- hadlock 1y agoI think everyone who has ever owned a game console and bought the "optional first party accessory" (super scope 6, kinect, etc) is painfully aware that since developers can't count on widespread adoption, they almost never waste resources implementing support for them. Not that it matters, apple has dropped support for true VR and now that google doesn't have to compete on this obscure battlefield, it will be cancelled before the end of Q4. I honestly feel bad for the team it was probably a good product. The launch event may have only been done for tax purposes to recover R&D losses.
- TulliusCicero 1y agoFair enough, but the very fact that the main blog post here doesn't even mention controllers tells you how much Google cares about them.
- baby 1y agoAnybody who has tried to play a game in VR with their hands know that controllers are not optional
