Im blown away how many people go "erm, why would i get this. This is worse than the 3 🤓" Like my brother in christ. This is the budget version. Ofcourse its worse. If you want a headset with the good lenses. There's one right there and it costs 200$ more because pancakes are actually that expensive
It is also the displays and the weight. I think it's a great headset for people who are interested in getting into VR just the same way the Quest 2 was. However, many of those who get a Quest 3S and really enjoy it might regret not putting the extra $200 to a Quest 3. That is how I feel because the lenses and display really do make that much of a difference.
It's less of a quest 3 cheap it's more like a quest 2.8 it uses most of the same external hardware as the Quest 2 but all of the same internals as the quest 3
I got the Q3 and had a bunch of problems with it unfortunately like a loud fan, lenses fogged up ridiculously fast(I could sweat for hours on a boxing game and get no fog on Q2) felt kinda heavy (but not completely terrible), strap was a bit iffy at times (was completely fine with Q2 standard one and I still use it) I might of had a shit one maybe and almost got a replacement the same day after refunding it but decided to wait a while and I'm glad I did since I can get what I really wanted was the new chip set for better performance/graphics and color pass through for half the price from Q3 og price plus I never had a issue with the Q2 lenses since I first started with a htc vive anyway lmao 😅😂
Crazy thought why dont other vr companies do what apple did, take the battery out of the headset and just use a battery bank. Not only would it eliminate weight in the headset but if done right could mean you could play for more than 2 or 3 hours. Just a crazy thought
Because other headsets are for gaming. You don't think it'll be common for people to rip their headset off from the wire while taking a swing an at enemy? I think pico has it best of both worlds where the battery goes at the back of the head making the weight balanced, and 2-3 hours is plenty of time for most people
@Phantomdude im saying like in the future why not remove the battery from the headset and put it into a battery bank thats not on the head so its lesss overall weight on the headset. Then have a battery on the preson or someth8ng like that i feel like it would be interesting and i feel like it could be more enjoyable possibly for the end user to not have so much weight on the head
@fredhandfield i understand i use a meta quest 2, and after so long, it's just a lot of weight on the head. Im saying like apple with the battery pack style, not being on the head but yet rather connected to a secure cable that connectes to battery on the body like a pocket it would take the weight off the head making the lighter on the head.
@@HolyEnglish21 and I'm saying why that wouldn't work, people would end up punching the wire and breaking something. since the quest is a gaming device, and some vr games involve alot of punching
OH MY GOD, SIR, YOUR DINOSAUR!!! I had that exact same Dino when in 2012ish, I was little. Thing walks so awkwardly and has the .most 8 bit roar I've ever heard. But it was an amazing little toy that kept 8 yr old me incredibly entertained
My "step father" of the time had its "counterpart" as well I'm pretty sure. It was made by the same people but was more rare. It was a robot with a smooth helmet. And when you put them together I remember they did something special.(95% sure it was just a easter egg voice line) I can't remember what but it was neat
Compare them please? Just bought the 3 it will be here on the 28th, it’s my first vr since the ps4 vr launch week. Had it for 4 days and it got stolen. Finally buying a good one now since I told myself it will be a while before it’s really good and worth buying something again. Did I make a mistake buying the 3 and not the 3s?
no the 3 has the pancake lenses and those make a masive diffrence plus the 3 has better resolution panels and fov and it has a nice adjustable ipd scroll wheel, the quest 3s has quest 2 lenses and the quest 2 panel, so dont worry im prete sure u will be able to use the quest 3 for a long time, the quest 3s uses the same chip as quest 3.
Is it suitable for workspace? I was thinking about getting one because of study and researches that I need to do for it and it seems like good option but I'm scare ill have difficulty reading from it bcs of worse lenses
Not exactly sure I'd want this device over the more expensive one. Last thing I'd want, in a device that is LITERALLY all about the screens as it's major focus and how good and clear everything will look is of the utmost importance, is a LOWER resolution and field of view. It's not a computer monitor where you can just sit further away or switch to a different monitor at some later date or you can live comfortably enough with the lower resolution and quality.
not really, processing power is the most important part of any electronics and this has the same as Quest 3 and that's why Quest 3S can play Batman Arkham Shadow and Quest 2 can't.
@@GTRNights the lenses and the panel is the same as quest 2 but the chip is the same as quest 3 and the quest 3s allows you to use ur arms without controllers in complete dark unlike the 3
Finally the quest 2 replacement is here the quest 3 was never the replacement it was like basically the pro version well not the pro version uh it’s like the ultra its made to be more powerful and premium with the way better lenses
Passthrough on a vr headset is terrible atm, 4k isn't enough. It's like walking around looking down at your nose and seeing everything else out of your peripherals.
Tracking is flawless, but you have to keep in mind your environment. Sitting at your desk with your monitor right in front of you seems to cause it problems sometimes.
See if I still only could use my quest 2 standalone I would probably trade it in and pick this up but I will not and its because I have the power of A PC and there is only one game on the quest 3 that I want to play that I can't play anywhere else so that's why I am not going to do such a thing and the only other game I would get is coming to pc at the same time so I will not be picking this up still great for people who don't already have a vr headset however
yeah i think i have really need this i mean i've had my ocul- i mean meta quest well it was oculus when i bought it but ive had it for 2 years now and next year it'll be 3 years and i have lots of issues with my quest 2 and i need those new features...yeah i got stick drift sooo
Phone VR is just terrible. It's a night and day difference. Actual VR tracks your movements. You can walk and swing in real life and have that be 1-1 translated to the game. Phone VR just tracks the rotation
Way to go captain obvious. The pancakes are what causes the price to go up so much. That's literally the whole point of this headset. Nothing gets past you, does it?
Now compare this price to other VR or even a PS5. BTW this can play Batman Arkham Shadow, Assassin's Creed VR, Iron Man and Asgard's Wrath 2, all really good games on Quest 3.
