we need a quest3 pro for $999 35ppd foveated rendering and eye tracking... and a good headstrap straight out of the box. hopefully valve does this before meta cause i really don't want a meta headset.
Dude sit down
Does anyone know why I get halfway through the quarantine like the part where unplug the drain and then I go of but when I come back it doesn't save
Im hoping this means that vrchat will drop the support for quest 2 sinc eit looks like thats the inly way they'll make the quest version batter since with the quest 3 it should be able to sulport much mire worlds and avatars but the devs said they arent olaning on doing thay since separating the quest 2 and 3 version would be
This better be for 50% less to get more people into VR. There is nothing really new about this headset, its just a downgrade to get more costumers into VR.
This should have more focused on screen improvement and pancake lenses, with less focus on standalone vr rendering and AR. It will be nice if they bring out a different line of headsets focused on PC VR, maybe call it oculus or something.
i can't type my new password in
3:50 wong coulsnt say the actual person namw?, inject the real name with AI. Kinda ez to do this days
imagine if the new headset ships out with GTA in VR! id buy it
You are cool
If it's going to have lower resolution panels but also the same Snapdragon chip, that means it could run at a smoother frame rate than the Q3? 🤔
❤
what game is that at @4:38?
As someone with a Q2, I'd rather save up for a Q3. As you mentioned, this seems more aimed at consumers who don't yet have a headset and want a cheaper alternative.
Just purchased it. I had a quest2 and played walkabout mini golf a lot but was annoyed with the resolution. Just got a q3 and it wasn’t much better, but with this app it’s crazy good now haha, what I’d expect it to be. Shame that it requires a 3rd party to get games how they should be, and happy to support the dev
still no displayport I guess?
Meta doesn't care about PCVR.
I owned the Quest 2 and now have the Quest 3...I'm actually very happy with the 3 and I wish Quest would make a Pro Gaming version for the Quest in the same way they made a Pro version for productivity....
When is Quest 4 due? 2025 or 2026? I'm waiting to see what Pico's new headset offers this year. Wouldn't mind a cheap HMD just for the Piano Vision app.
Hi, what is that game I see being played with figures being moved around a dungeon/castle in AR? Like D&D. I've had a search but can't find it. Need something like this for my Q3. Q3s will be a welcome addition especially around the Q2 price as the colour AR games really grabbed the people I've shown it too.
It's called Demeo
They need to find a way to make cheaper pancake lenses, they're the game changer for me, the lenses in the Quest 2 were horrible, so the 3s is a bit of a joke.
Im out 😊
This is a massive win. If this thing launches sub $300, you get to have your cake and eat it too since its got the same chipset. Essentially its like have a Sports version of a car with all the nice leather interior sunroof etc, but the base version for half the price has the exact same engine.
ques tree
Considering how expensive controllers are, making people buy them separately would eliminate the cheaper price and then some, IMO. Which seems unlikely, in my eyes
The 3 positions ipd adjustment which is the worse in the market is hard pass for me. For this reason, Quest 3s doesn't exist for me only the regular Quest 3
So siked to feel like OG Kratos climbing these huge bosses
Vr standalone isnt quite there just yet. A minor upgrade for q2 with same lenses. I can't imagine this selling well
This will be great for a cheap headset for my kids and is far better than the Q2.
This is perfect for me, I do not want to spend the price of the quest 3 to upgrade, if the 3s is a few hundred £ cheaper with the same processing capabilities as the Q3 I am sold day one!
1:00 - "Accidentally", haha. Boz is like the least coy dude when it comes to this sort of thing, I feel
Thanks on letting us know about the Quest 3S. I have been on the lookout for upgrading my quest 2, which I haven't really played as much as I used to due to its heaviness on my small sized head which gives me about 2 hours of gametime to be fully enjoyable for me. I was planning on waiting to get quest 3 when it goes on sale. But now that you mentioned of a smaller scale sized 3 with the upcoming S including the more affordable talking points on the price points. I'll be waiting out a bit more paintently on upgrading. :)
Spill the beans. How long have you had one and what is the price. We know you have one since 3 months ago! 😂😂😂
I hope its cheap and pushes the VR market. Zuck dropped the ball with the whole expensive headset AND meta rubbish. He could have been muuuuuuuuch more ahead of where he is now (which admittedly is still leading but i mean by a country mile).
Wasn't the Quest 2 pretty cheap for its whole run?
it's always cool to have more affordable headset, but i wait for comfort increase and slimmer headset for next gen
as soon as i heard they downgraded the lens i knew i didn't care. i'll wait for quest 4 i guess.
that quest 4 might be 700 out the door
Leave it to Meta to take a massive step back and waste time effort and money building a worse experience than the Q3 and barely an upgrade at all for the current Q2 users. Why would anyone buy this crap. If you can't afford the Q3 then just stick with the Q2 and wait for the launch of the Q4 and then the prices of the Q3 will drop. If I still had my Q2 I wouldn't upgrade to the Quest S and spend money on a device that is only a tiny incremental bump up.
i don't see them making a quest 4 so fast . and no game would take advantage of the 4 just as games are just now coming out for the 3.
Exactly what I think about it
You probably aren't the target customer. Meta probably wants to discontinue the Q2, and they want an affordable entry level unit to replace it.
@@gksmith5072 Probably nothing, I already know for a fact that I am not the target customer for this product. My point is that nobody else is either. Why is Meta bothering to creating a new product to replace the Q2 that isn’t worth it for them to redesign and create a whole new assembly line and distribution and not worth the insignificant upgrade or cost to replace it for Q2 customers.
I agree
Why would anyone buy this when the only "advanced games" are exclusive to the Quest 3? I've given up on Meta products and saving for a PSVR2.
HÄ`?
@@Raptorialand Its a real question.
when they say exclusive to quest 3 they mean all the quest 3 line. which would be the quest 3 and quest 3s
@@SaoGalaxVr Yeah of course bit thats obvious he clearly did not think that the games will not be released on the 3s.... he can't be this dumb pls :/
Very sad, that the PrismXR Carina D1 Charging Dock can't be bought in Germany.... (yet?).
Thanks for your interest. We have shipped Carina D1 to EU warehouse for a while. It should be in stock within this week or next. Please stay tuned.
Thanks Cas and Chary XR. 👍🏻👍🏻
5:54 - The "plus part" isn't relevant he has been trying hard to best the Apple Vision Pro in showing him up, lots of things Apple did could and SHOULD have been easily done from a company (Meta) whose been around longer, plus not all games even NEED a controller... that is just a stall holdover from gamers' being trained to use one for gaming, since a 'better' input option didn't exist yet (example eye-tracking, hand-tracking, more reliable EKG input, voice command, AI (NPC auto guidance), stuff just really needed to be 'good enough' for people to give it a fair shot... like how some PC elitists still swear by Keyboard & Mouse over Game Controller. Even then, I still think VR controllers should have been more like an SNES Button layout (4 buttons), or Sega Genesis/Saturn (6 button)---because parity would be similar to a cut in half controller like the Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons (or Pimax's Portal's magnetic controllers).
I wish they would make a new Rift that competes on price against modern PCVR headsets, id pre order it
I think they are fine with a standalone, they can't carry the entire VR market. Other headset companies need to find a way to subsidize their costs and make an affordable product. you would think valve could do this since they take a cut from every VR game sold on steam. If they could sell the steam deck nearly at cost they have to be able to do something for pcvr.
I wonder if the batman game willl be bundled with quest3s like asgards wrath was.
I'm pretty sure Quest 3 games like Batman, Hitman, Alien, etc, will only be for quest 3. Quest 3s might not be able to achieve that same power. Yes, it might have the same chip, but it also might be made that Quest 3s will not be able to play those games. As well as quest 3 only game updates. So if it doesn't support those games, think of the headset as an upgraded quest 2 in some areas. Even if it does or doesn't, I hope this helped you.
honestly they should keep the pancake lenses and save costs on the colored cameras and mixed reality stuff, all i need is a cheap PCVR gaming headset.
get the quest 2 . and if your just doing pcvr you should look at getting a headset just for that.
@@SaoGalaxVr got the quest 2 already, which is why id like the pancake lenses, biggest upgrade of the quest 3 imo. Meta headsets are way cheaper and can do wireless pcvr flawlessly so they are the best bet for pcvr
5:26 - Taking this part into consideration... it seems dumb that so many Quest 2 'best' games were retired since at the very least they'd perform fine on this headset.
thought it was just an ai render that just got out of control
Thank you guys!
0:13 - Probably not, at least its hard to beat the clearance price of the Quest 2, most likely Quest 3S won't be cheaper than that... so probably no rush for it over the Quest 2... you can most likely still just link to computer and still play VR, so not missing much.
Je l’ai fais en VR à la fête foraine…vraiment pas mal, étant une fana des films d’horreur,gore etc…ça m’a un peu rappelé l’univers d’Hostel 😅
I think they are naming this wrong. Previously, you had the Oculus Rift and the Rift S which signified a later, upgraded version no? When I hear the name 3s, my expectation is that it’s going to be an upgraded version of the 3, not the 2 you know?
Great video as always!
Well, we'll have to wait until it's officially announced, but if it is pretty much a Quest 3 with stripped down lenses, etc., to be more like a Quest 2.5, then a Quest 3 Lite naming would have made a little more sense. For example a Switch Lite is every bit of a Switch as a Switch or Switch OLED in that it has the same chipset hardware, but it's just smaller screen and form factor and without the ability to connect to TV. Then again, naming schemes are never consistent anyway, so I never just take them at face value in the first place. Xbox Series S? X? DS Lite? (Is literally just a better, slimmer DS with no downsides, so it doesn't fit my description of a "Lite" version above.) Slim? Pro? I'm almost wondering if S could stand for slim in this particular case.
rift s wasn't really an upgrade over the rift. for nearly every upgrade there was a downgrade. better resolution but lost the oled screens. no need for external tracking but in the early days that came with far worse controller tracking.
I agree should be the 2s really
They could've went with 3 Lite or 3 FE I guess, but as long as it's under $300 don't really care what it's called
Fourth!
