My Quest 3 came yesterday.... ohhhh yessss... (of course include in budget updated head strap, prescription lenses, etc.) Obviously, huge visual improvement and responsiveness seems clearly more responsive even doing things like Walkabout Golf. On the Quest 2 I didn't like some of the drumming rhythm games, but... woah! They seem to work fine for me on the Quest 3! And as someone who is so casual I'm one of those who jump around among games the increase from 64 to 512 GB is already wonderful. I have lots of Meta games from early on. First experience of color pass through and mixed reality is a total "make me smile". Seeing that spaceship come through the ceiling with landing lights was an "Oh Yes!" lol! I am so glad VR is alive and kicking!
I'm about to play some NMS, I just read an article explaining how to set up a Hotas and motion controls at the same time. I'm very hyped for my play through, I didn't mind the pitch and yaw using motion controllers but this will be so much better.
@@Juice5522 skyrim on ps sucks PC modded is the only way to play skyrimvr it actually turns it into a full on vr game instead of a lazy port and adds so much more then the base game
You've got the right idea, amigo. Triple A style games is exactly what VR gaming needs right now. My addiction to Gran Turismo 7 while using the PSVR2 headset is proof enough.
Most of these are older titles. VR hasn't really come a long way in the last few years. I still remember Alyx and thinking we'd leap frogged a generation.
VR has side stepped because of standalone. Going from the power of a Full on gaming PC to a mobile chipset has a huge impact on games. But PCVR was not affordable to most people and the quest is impressive for what it is. But I think over the next year with the drop of Quest 2 support wee will see some great new titles.
Assassin's Creed Nexus was, by definition, a AAA title on Quest, likely similar to the AGW2 budget. It was a full Assassin's Creed game on mobile hardware.
This goes some way to explain why nearly every game I look at, looks more like a tech demo than a detailed, fully fleshed out game. I only hope that we'll start to see a lot more AAA games like the new Batman and Behemoth 🤞
If I have to choose between PCVR and standalone on the Quest, PCVR wins. I even prefer playing flatscreen games on my headset as a giant screen over standalone VR. The only games I use the headset for are fitness games, but I still prefer the PCVR versions for better graphics. Plus, PCVR offers faster loading times, easier use of cheats and mods, custom Beat Saber maps, and much cheaper storage-1TB SSDs cost far less than the difference between a Quest with 128 gb or one with 512 gb storage.
I’d argue Star Wars Squadrons is a AAA experience. Hitman Trilogy Elite Lone Echo games MS flight sim F1 games Asgards Wrath 1 (my preferred of the two) Skyrim and Fallout are worthy of a mention I’d pick any of those over Medal of Honor
What about (imho all of these deserve a mention): VR AAA games already released: - No Man's Sky - MSFS 2020 - DCS - Contractors Showdown - Maybe Assassin's Creed Nexus - Maybe Asgard's Wrath 1 - Maybe Medal of Honor above and beyond - Maybe Hitman III PCVR Releasing this year: - Skydance's Behemoth - Aces of Thunder - MSFS 2024 - Metro Awakening - Batman Arkham Shadow - Maybe Aliens Rogue Incursion Also if you count AAA modded games: - Skyrim VR modded and AI enabled - Fallout 4 VR modded
I’m still rocking my quest two. I really want to buy a quest 3 or 3 s. but I think I’m gonna wait until a few months into next year after all these new games come out and get patches and are in their best shape.
@@ZFCaio dang you think that long? Possible but there wasn't much time between the quest 1 and 2 I thought. Idk there's not enough reason for me to buy a quest 3 for me personally even with the price drop. I was hoping there be another advancement sooner.
Did the standalone version of Robo Recall get an update for the Quest 3 by any chance? Or it just looks better with uograded resolution from the original Quest to the Quest 3?
thank god for people modding vr into flatscreen games. the hl2 mod is sooo good. i enjoy the gameplay quite a bit more than alyx. alyx was too safe with the difficulty and hard mode just made everything bullet sponges instead of making them faster/more aggressive. i just played jedi academy on vr 2 days ago and beat the game in 1 sitting. things like this is what will get VR into more mainstream. especially when people realize just how easy it is to get most of the vr mods to work. I got outer wilds vr mod yesterday and it was literally 4 clicks to get it working
I know it’s an old game but Team Beef has done an amazing job with Doom 3.they are releasing a new graphical update on Halloween for Quest 3 and it is mind blowing.honestly,the lighting and reflections might be the best I’ve seen on Quest 3 I checked their RU-vid channel the other day and they haven’t posted on there in a while.If you’re on X,I highly recommend checking out what they have accomplished.I was talking to them the other day and it sounds like Alien Rogue Incursion is going to really push the graphics on Quest 3 as well with similar lighting I know people probably think I’m exaggerating on how great Doom 3’s new update is looking but it is truly next level.from what I have seen,it looks like it will easily be one of the best looking games you can play standalone on Quest 3
Good video. A lot of non-biased Sony mentions in there. It seems like AAA flat screen ports ARE an important part of AAA, VR gaming after all… better late than never. Great video.😈👍🏽
Only thing that is missing now is a GTA VR game, wish the developers would make one, its about time for that game to come out, the last good VR game to come out was Half Life Alyx, four years ago
I am kind of surprised you did not mention no man’s sky. There are some people in the VR community that are oblivious to this game because they only on a quest. Do the VR community some good and shine some light on this ever growing VR gem.😈
I loved Medal of Honor and wish they would optimise it for Quest 3 and get it closer to the PC version , I loved storming the beaches on Normandy and it needs some special attention
Insomniac Games did have a bit of VR experience before Stormland, which is why I think Meta approached them. The had a couple games on Rift and a couple on the Magic Leap One, which I had never heard of until I looked more into Insomniac. Stormland's rouge-lite gameplay loop would have been more successful if the game was more flushed out. The weapon and enemy types are just too limited, and no bosses. I thought the story was compelling and the gameplay is some of my favorite in VR, but it feels really repetitive after 2 cycles of the game, and you really need at least 3 to see most of the primary lore.
Well, The games you mention in this video are restricted playing PS platforms or inside a dedicated VR headset. Myself, I do STEAM games on my PC and recently with the Quest 3 via a link cable. I have always just done PCVR games, will always do so, and do not have a Play Station or want to play games on a mobile phone. There are many good recent PCVR games that rank right up there with ones mentioned in this video. I always try to catch on my STEAM games on sale. I really like the games I have and still learning them. One you mention is Alyx Half Life on STEAM. Far as SIM racing games, there are very good STEAM PC racing games that are just as good or better than Play Station Gran Turismo 7 game. I do SIM racing all the time, either online competitively, or doing racing games offline against AI cars. The category of games I have are Formula 1, Nascar, Indycar, GT racing, and Rally racing games. All are awesome in in VR. Thanks for the video. Take care.
The games you're referring to are restricted the PCVR ecosystem.....see what I did there? The original, non-vr budget for GT7 takes it over and above other racers in terms of content and production value.
I loved Stormland as a single player shooter, but it had too much fog resulting in muddy graphics for Airlink / Streamed PCVR. That game should be redone with a cell shaded motif and it would be great on Q3.
Thanks. Missed Elite Dangerous and No Man's Sky as legitimate ports. Also Flight Simulator. Hitman 3? Assassin's Creed Nexus (not a port)?? So, is PC VR Dead? Is Meta the only one putting money on it? Has Valve given up? Skyrim VR needs a special mention, as vanilla is almost a finger in our faces from Bethesda, but with mods it's amazing. I guess you count TWD Saints and Sinners' and Lone Echo's series as AA?
Tbh if it wasn't for Meta I don't think VR would have grown as much as it has. I got interested in vr because of quest 3 and so many other people have too.
@@sYd6point7 What did he miss?? Other than half life alyx, maybe a modded fallout and skyrim, he has access to most of the titles we have enjoyed in the last 8 years. And to be honest, has the last 8 years been fun?? There has been alot of waiting for more and better games, and you could say we are still waiting. The lineup for game releases in the next couple of months are amazing! We have never seen such a great lineup ever in vr, so what better time to join vr?? And now he also can play the old games we played years ago. I hope he will enjoy all the amazing content he has available now 😊
Hello. There is something that has never been discussed in the world of VR: have you noticed that in VR, when we are close to celestial bodies in outer space, the impression we get is actually that of being in front of miniatures of them? For example, if we are in orbit around a planet, we see something resembling a ball the size of a building ten meters away; if in front of a galaxy, we see a cloud of dust occupying an area no larger than that of any room in the house. And so it goes with any other cases in this context. There is, in short, no real sense of immensity, which I find very frustrating. Given this, are you aware of any actions by the developers to address this (apparent?) problem?
When you look at the moon it looks bigger than pin-sized stars, as it should be. What is your idea of 'immensity'? Yes, a galaxy of many stars far away will look very small compared with the size of a planet you are orbiting, look at the Earth from the orbit, it's pretty big. What is exactly the problem that (apparently) not many people are aware of?
Im not sure what you are referring to. But maybe you can chase this down yourself. At really big distances, our binocular vision just doesn't work. Our eyes are too close together and if you are looking at objects that are 100k KMs away, you're not really going to get an sense of depth. So it would be as 'immersive' as a flat screen. This is a physics limitation of how far apart eyes are. Another thing is the way most VR stuff works is there is a "focal depth" to them, for instance PSVR2 is about 6 meters away, this affects how your eyes focus and why people who are nearsited benefit from wearing prescription lens to look at screens an inch from their face. If there's a focal depth, it stands to reason there is a range around it that is optimal for the optics just like real cameras. This is a physics limitation of light. Along with the focal depth and actual physics of light, there is the impacts of what having a "focal depth" could have. Almost like you are staring at an immersive diorama in front of you. Its not static in the traditional shoebox diorama kind of way, its dynamic in that if you move, you are effectively moving this virtual diorama bounding box in front of you. This is a lot like the Real3D films you see in the theater, visually its like the screen is the edge of a stage, and the stage only has so much depth, vs IMax3D which is mostly a flat plane with stuff popping OUT of the screen towards you. This is more of a technical limitation, so there wouldn't really be anything making it impossible to transform the screen to make it better other than taking up WAY too much processing power. So Im not sure if it's any of, or all of these things that affect what you are experiencing, but its a good place to start.
@@mitcherny6965 When mentioning this problem, I am referring, let it be emphasized, solely to the situation of being in outer space, more specifically in the orbit of planets and suns, or close (on an astronomical scale) to other celestial bodies (galaxies, nebulas, etc.), so that we can see them without the need for a telescope. Therefore, the example of the Moon seen from Earth does not count, since we are not in its orbit. With this introduction made, note that your observation is based on the real world and, yes, we see such objects as you described. However, if we observe exactly the same images in VR, the scale of the objects inserted in them decreases significantly, and the impression we have is that these objects are only ten or twenty meters away, and not at astronomical distances in the real world; a bit more, and we could touch them with our hands in VR. Hence the impression of them being mere miniatures, even though they are miniatures the size of a house or a baseball stadium. Everything else in VR works normally regarding scale. I don't know why this happens, but this is the clear impression I have. It is not possible that I am the only one to have this perception.
@@mitcherny6965 Maybe it will become clearer by watching certain clips with planets from the movie "The Little Prince", 1974, (consider only the scale, obviously). The feeling is similar to that.
@@CCat1 Contextually, the observation location must always be outer space, not Earth, and specifically, only planets and suns within their orbits are considered, or other celestial bodies such as galaxies, nebulas etc., when they are nearby (on an astronomical scale!), so that we can see them without the need for a telescope. This is because it is always under these circumstances that the problem resides. Regarding the first paragraph, yes, I understand. But what I see in the context mentioned above, when in VR, is that they are incredibly close, tens of meters away, in this case. As for the second paragraph, I don't understand what focal depth is in the context of VR technology, but I have the intuition that, if so, the problem I am presenting here should occur in other situations outside the exclusive context I mentioned, which I have never observed. In the last paragraph, which also involves technical issues I am not familiar with, you ended up giving an example that I identified with: diorama. But in the specific "landscape" context of the beginning of this text, it's not a shoebox diorama of planets that I see, but a giant diorama of them. I hope with this last observation, I am not confusing more than explaining. Anyway, these are my thoughts on what you presented. Either way, if I am correct in my impressions, I hope the devs will one day resolve this.
I got the Quest 3s 256 for 399 and I was able to login with my old meta account so I got all my old games. The quest 3 came with batman and one of the two games available this month for quest plus was down the rabbit hole based off alice in wonderland. Pretty cool 😎 👌I thought because I was getting batman that means you have to buy asgards Wrath 2 but it's actually redeemable so that's included which is even cooler
@@Gamingwithmatteo311 I don't understand what you mean. RE 4, GT7, and RE Village are #1, #2, and #3 for most sales for PSVR2 games and are made a fraction of the cost.
Having the PS5 for VR is by far the worst choice, Sure you get some good 4 or 5 games But you miss a ton more, that are only on Quest and PCVR Plus, wire sucks
It's definitely not a bad option. If someone already has a ps5 I'd say it's an easy recommendation if they like the games on it. For someone coming into vr for the first time, the library is fantastic!
Skyrim. Nothing impressed me more and I spent longer playing Skyrim VR than any of the flat screen versions. Sure, that tomb looks cool on flat screen, but in VR the sense of scale is MUCH more impressive. When you look up at some of the architecture in game, you REALLY look up, and it keeps going and you're like "Wow, I did not realize how big this was before!" It's too bad Fallout 4 VR was such a turd in comparison.
skyrim vr on pc with madgods overhaul is actually on some future man stuff i didnt know it was possible but you need an insane pc for it especially for mantella which puts gpt 4o into every npc wild stuff
RE7 was not made with vr in mind the game already had a first person perspective well before vr was planned for it and alot of the setpieces are way too over the top to have vr in mind
Stormland is one of the best games ever. I don't agree with your opinion. BTW: why did you forget about Lone Echo 1/2 ?? And no even small mention about Assasins Creed Nexus? :( And what about MS Flight Sim, Projest Cars, Skyrim, Fallout, No Mans Sky, Elite Dangerous....
you did a great job conveying your love for vr and also explaining why i should get these titles period i didn't know about that wrath game it looks really good. thank you for your hard work and time no extra fluff just information that i wanted subscribed
@@Gamingwithmatteo311 assetto corsa w/content manager and custom shaders patch with what ever mods you like to make it your own , iracing , ACC , automobialista 2, rfactor is prob better also hell even euro truck simulator 2🤣 all gt have always felt weird to drive for myself
I can't find my other comment and I'm not going to rewrite it because RU-vid sucks. But I am just going to say that this was a horrible video and you missed dozens of titles that fit your own description of what AAA should be. First one being asgard's wrath with a huge budget and 120 gigabyte campaign. I'm sure this was just a filler video.
What is this constant crying for play through STORIES. If you really break it down, they aren't games. There's no skill/competition, and winning or BESTING another person. These AAA titles are just cos plays to participate in with no hook in trying to improve or get more skilled. Pool, beat saber, NFL pro era...any sport sim is a GAME. And there are tons of those on quest to keep you from getting bored. These play through movies are boring and why alot of people give up on VR, people dont get tired of pool/golf/ping pong in real life. That is the true VR seller. Able to simulate real games/hobbies from the comfort of your living room
