How do they compare? Also, can you cross play with PSVR2 and Quest 3? I might have to buy it for both systems if we can multiplayer cross play. Any courses to avoid? Or, is it worth it just to go all in on the complete pack?

The game look and play identical except the psvr2 keeps tracking the controllers when you point them down. Sometimes the quest 3 controllers have issues when they point away from the headset. I think the rings on the psvr2 are better in this regard.
If you like minigolf then its definatly best to get the full course pack. I bought the full corse and now a few more corses have been made since that i dont yet have.
I dont know about crossplay. I no longer have the psvr2.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Got my headset. Quite cool, though now how it delivers the audio as it does not cover ears yet I can hear everything clearly

One thing that will probably keep me playing the Quest 3 much more than the PSVR2 is mixed reality

Yeah, that's the real gamechanger. The fact that you can switch to passthrough mode is really really cool.

I would add for Minigolf, at least how I play it, when you look down to line up your shot, I like to keep my view centered down on the ball, then only move my eyes towards the position of the hole I'm aiming for. I don't like to move my whole head to see the hole because then I can't see my ball anymore and line up the shot.

So doing it that way - looking to the edge of the screen, is a poor experience on the PSVR2 with it's non-pancake lens. Everything just looks blurry on that headset, so I don't find it an optimal platform to play the game on, the Quest 3 is much better, plus it's also wireless and makes it easier for a pick up and play game like this.

I think in alot of ways Quest 3 feels several years newer than psvr2. Love psvr in general and believe it has games that nothing else can deliver because of Sony 1st party.
But man the quest 3 lenses, wireless, MR, retro emulation, and pcvr option are so damn good.

I believe the main killer features are AR + wireless. Without AR I would not even bother buying it. Not to mention it being able to work independently.

 

[Hot5pur]

I don't know why I did this, but I got like 35 games on this recent sale. I am all in on this VR stuff.

 

[TwinB242]

Im surprised to see so much love for the mixed reality cameras. I know it depends on your lighting conditions but the quality has been awful in my experience.

I find that it's not great for walking around, but once in a MR app the sub optimal passthrough is satisfactory and works great. It seems many share this sentiment.

Same thing, I received a little over $400 in store credit and have burned through half of it this past month. I now have more software than I have time to experience it all. Not complaining, I just didn't expect this to be the case.

 

[Tangerine]

Trover saves the universe is funny so far. Wish rick and Morty vr game was localised for the quest.

I've recently been enjoying Gazzlers, ark and ade, trover.

I also nabbed into the radius but haven't tried that yet.

In the end i bit the bullet and ordered a quest3, what are the mandatory games to have? On teh q2 I had already beat saber, pistol whip, Vader immortal, keep talking and nodoby explodes, super hot and I expect you to die... Is there anything that set apart Q3 from Q2? Thanks

There are tons of games you still should try:

1. Red Matter 2
2. Assassin's Creed Nexus
3. Asgards Wrath 2 (comes with quest 3)
4. Racket Club
5. Outta Hand
6. Moss book 1&2
7. Synth Riders
8. Eleven Table Tennis
9. Resist
10. Dungeons of Eternity

I could go on and on

Major difference would be mixed reality. Outside of that functionally the Q3 is a beefed up Q2, same games just prettier and no need to hunt for sweet spot.

Holy shit Praydog injector mod is amazing. Got Atomic Heart running in 10 minutes and looked amazing.

Supposedly there are over 600 Unreal engine games already working within the first week lol

Yea I bought a Zenni pair. Pretty simple to order. they just snap in and they got my prescription correct.
The only issue and it's a small one, is they are difficult to remove witout fear your going to crack them. They are thin. I wish they were magnetic.

Don't have to worry about glasses, frames or looking through top and bottom of my glasses anymore. Just put the headset on and I'm good.

Yes. They snap in and work fine, and honestly a way better solution than cramming your glasses in there. Also easy to snap out if someone else is using them, and comes with a carrying case. Overpriced, but do the job.

I think I also need them for ease of mind. I have a fear that my glasses will scratch the lenses on the Quest 3.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Alright, prescription lenses have been ordered!

 

[SiahWester]

The dead pixels and mura have really destroyed my enjoyment of this headset. It has just been endless exchanges. I'm either the unluckiest MF on the planet or Meta has some serious quality control issues. I have given up for now. Hopefully they get it together so I can buy it without issues down the line.

Great headset though. Love the new lenses, that alone is worth the price imo.

It's not just you - their quality control is terrible. There are a bunch of Reddit posts of people discussing the Mura issues. I got two Amazon headsets - both had what I considered unacceptable Mura. It was really distracting. I got a third one from Best Buy, and I'd say it's about 70% better. So I kept it.

 

[FoxMcChief]

My prescription lenses are out for delivery. I've been holding off on playing my Quest 3 until they arrived.

Just in time for the 3D emulation that launches this weekend.

Now you get to pull out all the lens cleaning stuff and meticulously clean the hell out of the lenses before putting on the prescriptions.
Is that a tiny speck of dust I see?

 

[demigod]

So I'm looking at the comparisons for Quest 2 vs Quest 3. The specs do not justify paying $540 with for a minor resolution upgrade. Am I wrong GAF?

I did that with my glasses already. The reason I got them is to prevent my glasses from possibly scratching the pancake lenses.

 

[thief183]

It is on another level actually, AR, resolution, FOV, better controller, and better performance....

 

[Minsc]

Buy one from a retailer like Best Buy and return it if you don't think it is. Most find it quite a jump, but not everyone. Pancake lens gives you no sweet spot (almost always in focus, no aligning) and full edge to edge clarity so you can look around at the corners of the image with only your eyes (not moving your head to recenter the view) and everything is still perfectly clear. And stuff like a speaker improvement so headphones aren't needed and so forth. Just all around better in almost every way, similar to the Deck > OLED Deck, but even more so.

 

[Romulus]

Yeah its not just higher resolution, the chip inside the Quest 3 can render higher settings on top of higher resolution.



Asgards Wrath 2 is getting a higher resolution texture pack this month, so in that case, higher resolution, higher LOD, better draw distance and better fps on top of pancake lenses and FOV increase. Not to mention MR, which is awful on Quest 2.

 

[diffusionx]

Turns out that, based on previews, Bulletstorm VR kind of sucks, which is a bummer as this is one of the best single player FPS games and I thought VR would go well with the game's combat. Oh well.

They have butchered the conversion. It's a hard pass for me and I was really looking forward to it.

Yea I'll probably spend money on this instead of BSVR.

Looks good to me, so far. What have been the main complaints?

It's ugly and the enemy AI might be an industry worst. Redfall bad.

 

[Hot5pur]

I think Quest version of bulletstorm has graphics problems and generally looks poor. PCVR version might be fine, but why no cross buy on Quest/Rift? Like 25% discount would encourage many people to buy off Oculus than steam on day 1, especially for these one and done kind of games. Devs are dumb not to put things on the Oculus store

 

[FoxMcChief]

Holy shit. The prescription lenses are amazing. The goggles feel way more comfortable without my huge frames. Fucking game changing.

Might be a placebo effect, but the visuals look even crisper with the lenses than my normal glasses with the same prescription.

 

[phant0m]

you are very wrong dude. the controllers are much improved, the passthrough (and thus AR) is vastly better than what Quest 2 could do, it has a better GPU (2x quest 2), more RAM and as you mentioned, better resolution.

 

[Tangerine]

I pre-ordered a game on a whim that meta quest app recommended me. Looks pretty decent

Underdogs

 

[cyberheater]

None of the versions of Bulletstorm have enemy shadows. This is 2024. Team Beef ports run native on quest and look better.

It's a really poor effort.

 

[cyberheater]

I'm not hearing good things about BulletStorm VR.

 

[R6Rider]

I'm not hearing good things about BulletStorm VR.

I've only seen one video on it about first impressions and it was pretty rough. Apparently the Quest version specifically looks fucking awful.

On top of that is just the overall gameplay, but that's more subjective on how one enjoys the original game and or titles from that generation.

 

[Romulus]

Yeah after playing nonstop AAA games with unreal injector VR, bulletstorm is a easy pass. I would wager the injector feels better than their port of the game in many cases.

 

[cyberheater]

It's bad.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I loved my Quest 2! It's a bit warn down now from so much use. I want to hand it down to my girlfriend and get a quest 3 so we can play some Walkabout mini golf together!

I cant decide between the 128gb and the 512gb,

 

[Romulus]

Pretty much the only case for 128gb imo is if you know for sure you'll just be using PCVR for most everything.
