Oculus Quest VR Headset Review!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- We have the Oculus Quest! After a week of testing its inside-out tracking, graphical performance, and a selection of its launch games, we review the Oculus Quest standalone virtual reality headset. Let's go in-depth with how its passthrough camera system works, guardian setup, and the quality of experiences on this game-changer for VR.
Correction: the third-party corrective lenses for the Oculus Go do in fact work in the Quest, after you remove the plastic bezels around each lens. We regret the error.

Thanks for watching!
As someone who doesn’t have a high end pc, and can’t really afford one at this point, this is very exciting for me. I’ve always wanted to try vr, but haven’t had the necessary system to run it. Definitely want one based on this review
Bobby Hinner ya same
same
You will NOT be disappointed! Hope you got it and are enjoying it like I am!
Oculus Link is making Quest far superior over the Oculus Rift S! Enjoy your Quest dude, you won’t regret it!
@@robbanta2979 09imp
$400 for VR, no strings attached (pun intended) is insane, any non pc/console only users should definitely consider this because it's truly a great experience.
Yea it's amazing, the display is on level with the Vive pro for more than half the price.
@@itsmrpickle9184 well obviously, this is just the first step
Kermit The frog here you can say that about literally every piece of tech. That’s not a reason not to buy something.
Kermit The frog here more like 3
I’ve got a PS4 Pro, and even then I’m still gonna go for this over PSVR, purely just because it’s completely wireless and isn’t reliant on the awful Move controllers and PS Eye
“This is not a PC connection device.” Times change.
Damn right
Dean Richards no sworing
yeah but to play the badass games on vr you need the htc vive, those quests are cool for poker or something small like that, but if you want to get into big games that require processing speeds get a htc vive.
Still has screen door effect and seems like I am watching a old tube tv. When will we get real resolution and real fob? I have been through 5 different headsets, including this one and they all suck. Took them all back for a refund.
Pixellego 47 calm the damn hell down lol
This was my first run into vr I just got my quest today and I'm completely blown away, I had no idea how awesome vr was...
nodozz2 I’m thinking about buying one the 64gb would you say there is a good amount of games
It has a pretty good amount of games and if you have a good pc you can side load, this is the early days of quest I see it having a solid future. I also bought the 64 gb zero regrets...
nodozz2 thx man I just bought it the 64
@@dylanjones6757 hey, I'm getting the quest this christmas, can you tell me if it's worth it,can you tell me your opinion?
Yeah I'd like to know if it's worth it.
It reminds me of old consoles, when developers had to think hard to optimize their code. Today games come out unfinished and not optimized because "we got the power". VR opens a new way of making video games and like in its first years, we're going to need, again, to think differently and be creative with what we have. This is not a limitation, this is a path to more technical creativity.
Arguably it is both
its like the nintendo of VR lol except fuck nintendo's new VR "headset"
Yep, it’s like how game developers used 4 tones to make hours and hours of soundtracks that still stick with us today.
Underrated comment right there
Very true!
I’m normally bleeding edge for tech, but have held off VR to date. I’ve just ordered the 128gb based on this review.
Think it'd be worth it for beat saber only, not sure if I'll wait and buy second gen or first price drop but gdamn this is tempting, let us know
Gruagach. Iron Shoes is not out yet is coming out the 21
I’m very curious about file size of the games. I would like to just buy the 64Gb but worried
Jim Long update us please. I'm considering a part time job just to get the money for this thing lmao
Enjoy! Definitely check out Beat Saber, Superhot VR, and Moss.
When you put your head through a portal to return to reality and see warcraft armor... cray cray
Ikr!
7:18
You sounded cray yourself until I seen what you said is actually in the video
Gravity falls reference XD
Wanna know what real life be is? A lucid dream
ooh wow it really is vr day at tested
26:05
This didn't age well
Jeremy and Norm make such a great team
Devasive I was just thinking the same thing! they really have great chemistry and are super informative.
Thank you for all four your good music you people. Put. Out THANKS a lot.realin enjoy it jam on it god bless James white wolf
@@JamesCarter-ii8bc your comment gave me dyslexia
Now I don’t have to spend an extra $1000 on a pc. 😅
You'll miss out on a lot of PCVR games and stuff though.
@@awesome9174 Although some games that wont be compatable with the Quest are great the majority of them are ok at best.
@@stevencrighton6890 Yeah but that's the same for non vr gaming too. Most games in general are pretty okay.
Ah, I see people still think good gaming computers cost $1000 minimum. That's hilarious.
@@awesome9174 ALVR for the win!!
They don't work outside? Damn...
Let's hope they convert echo Vr to the quest soon
OPEN MIND So disappointing 🤦♂️
I think they did
fast forward to right now though…
Tested spoiled me today, I’m feeling the VR love 🥰
Keep in mind, the vive wireless adapter alone is 300 dollars.
HTC takes the piss with the vive. Not worth £1500 pounds.
I ordered mine seconds after pre-orders went live on Amazon. Can't wait. One step closer to The Oasis!
Or The Matrix...
Good review 👍 only question I have is while there is "technically" a max size area you can make for the guardian system.. is there also a minimum sized area you have to make?
Or can you litterally make a 1ftx1ft area lol?
And yes I know why would you want to play in a 1ftx1ft lol I was just curious on the limitations of the system 👍
@@TheGamerCasual I guess you can make it as small as you want, however some games can recommend larger play area or force standing mode if your boundaries are too small.
@@kpbendeguz ahh gotcha .. ok thank you , the reason I ask is I know with WMR you have to have a "minimum" sized area.. was curious if rift was the same .
If youre having issues with a minimum space area of 1 foot by 1 foot, I dont think you should be playing VR in your house..... lucky for you, you can play quest in a parking lot or an empty mall
Awesome that the charging cable is 10FT long! Can play VR while charging is going to be pretty cool. Definitely going to get a portable pack!
do one better, just get a quick charge 3.0 anker 20000mah battery and enjoy wireless for many more hours.
Put the battery as a counterweight in the back. Thank me later.
If anyone's curious they don't recommend charging while using the headset due to overheating issues.
AusHobbies I did with my Oculus Go and nothing happened really except it got warm like once
@@UnityAshie Quest will run games that put more stress on the processor and I think the issue might not necessarily be overheating but rather battery getting really hot as it is charging and powering the system at the same time. High temperatures degrade the battery much faster and decreases its life span. The same reason why you shouldn't charge and use your smartphone at the same time or at least not use it for heavy tasks during charging.
Not a regular viewer of projections but this is the one episode I really wanted.
And now I'll watch it. :P
I bought a quest based on your many reviews, and unlike the original Rift I am NOT disappointed. Thank you for your in depth thoughts, and I look forward to Quest v2!
Even if you already have a powerful PC this seems so worth it - just no setup. These look awesome. I am worried about the types of titles over time. I’d prefer longer/full experience rather than arcade experiences.
If they released a higher resolution version for more money, I'd definitely get that. Unfortunately, the 72 hertz just doesn't cut it for me and I get motion sick quickly when I use it
@@RatedKforKevin not only the 72 htz but also the graphics are well like a mobile game since its on mobile chip, so you limited to the companies making games with options low enough for the quest to run it
Best VR reviewers on RUclips. Awesome stuff guys, VR is getting super exciting now
“This is not a PC connection device.” Then the quest became the switch of VR
Great video. Just got out of my Quest after 2.5 hours. It is so good!
Know this reply is six months late and I can't really expect a response but how are you finding it now? Would you still consider it a worthwhile purchase after six months?
For the record, using Virtual Desktop it will wirelessly tether to a PC and run Steam VR just fine. Using a pocket sized travel router I was able to log into Elite and do a couple trading runs from a hotel room 400 miles away from my desktop almost as smoothly as I managed from twenty feet away on my home network
Seriously? That sounds so cool. I have a question though. Can you use Mac on VR desktop by any chance? If you know and reply that'd be awesome. I've just been looking everywhere and it only says "PC". Mac is technically a personal computer so idk what they exactly mean.
Is there anyway to export/beam what is being seen in the headset to a social screen? Playing any games in a group setting where you only have one headset is very boring if everyone who is not wearing the headset can’t see what the person who is wearing it is experiencing.
You can cast the video to a TV.
Jeremy, I talked to the people who made Dead and Buried Arena at OC5 and they said the main change was just toggling off the guardian size restrictions. It sounds like it was still normal Insight doing all the heavy lifting of positional tracking, with the main custom part just being a server that kept track of all the co-located player positions.
Talking to her, it sounded like the boundary size restriction was definitely something that would exist for launch, but they hinted a bit at possibly increasing that max size as they have more time to work on things throughout the headset's life cycle.
My guess with that arena sized demo Facebook showed off months ago, is that arena mode is a LAN feature only available when connecting multiple headsets together over a local network. Their cameras work together to create the much larger arena to play in.
I already bought it as soon as i got the email. I am super pumped to play VR. I don't have a gaming computer so this is my best solution.
I signed up forever ago, no email!!!!!! 😲
I have a gaming computer and have had all the Rift's since DK1, but I'm still getting a Quest because it means losing that cable. Can't tell you how much that cable just destroys the VR experience for me - since it's always there I feel like I can't move that much even though I know I can. With the Quest, I can finally move without the cable - I'm really looking forward to it.
@@rodmunch69 I went for the wireless adaptor for Vive myself, and yeah, it makes a world of difference for things like high action games or dancing. Looking forward to when it becomes a standard expected feature for full PC VR, and all can enjoy it without compromising anything.
@@UnknownSquidHow is latency and drops, any issues with that? I actually bought a wireless kit for my Oculus but haven't got around to sitting it up yet as it's a pretty big ordeal - also it's not official so I still don't know how well it will actually work.
@@rodmunch69Personally I've never been able to notice any latency, though I guess it depends on the game slightly. If you're playing something highly competitively like a shooter or leader board beatsaber stuff, I imagine there might be reason to use wired for that, but in any normal scenario it's not detectable. It pretty much has to be near instantaneous or else you'd feel ill using it.
IMO this will become truly viable when Riftcat VRidge starts porting over to it. Those guys know how to make mobile VR be desktop VR. Over close range 5GHz wifi, this could be a wonderful untethered PCVR experience using VRidge.
Exactly what I was thinking!
Really close to buying it but am unsure about the storage
@@livufox9144 If you're going to use it as a VRidge device exclusively, I'd say the cheapest one would probably be fine. Otherwise it's up to you, though IMHO it would probably be very hard to actually use up 64GB on a device where the polycount can't be anywhere near what desktop games have. My Moto G6 is chock full of all sorts of stuff and I only have the 32gb model. I have a 128 GB SDCard in it that's going to waste cause I'm only to about 23gb used.
This thing is incredible I tried one last night it works really great.
I don’t always watch Tested, but if I do I enjoy it a lot. I also know that is absolutely worth my time. Now I just have to decide about getting a Quest...
Jan Tißler why tf are u verified
Wait what WHY ARE U VERIFIED U HAVE 24 SUBSCRIBERS
Would love to see how quest performs with zero space left on storage. Does it suffer or remain unaffected?
This will certainly be a factor in which model I purchase.
We also have to account for the fact that 64GB is actually 51GB after system OS and preinstalled apps are in place.
I prefer to have all of my apps downloaded and ready to rock so 128GB might be the way for me, that is, also if there are performance gains in reserving extra space on storage for some OS breathing room.
Most of the games seem to be like only 500mb- 1gb the biggest games being 3 GB though so that's still like 17 games assuming they were all 3 gb (which very few of the VR games are they average more at 1 gb) with the 64 GB, the 128 GB seems like overkill to me especially since a lot of the VR titles are singleplayer 1 time go things but maybe that's just me
Great Work Jeremy & Norm! Really great to see the firsthand review seconds after the Quest consumer release !!!
Me:Just wait for quest a bit longer no one else has one
Tech/VR youtubers: we have one
Me: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH I NEED ONE
Cole Park I got mine Monday after waiting over 3 weeks for it lmao.
@@XMilesX123 when you use it does it like really feel like your in the game like do you see black lines at the sides ?
rivoo Of course it feels realistic, why would it have black lines?
@@XMilesX123 Thanks
To be honest. I hardly play Skyrim vr or anything else graphics intensive. I have a GTX 1080 but usually find myself just playing simple games like rec room, beat saber, gorn, table tennis and other simple games that feel great in VR. I could see this being successful if VR wasn't primarily for the graphics specs intensive PC crowds.
same, but i think things will change now that Valve Index has launched-- a high end experience. Hopefully this means more high-end VR games in the future.
@@mogencheng3829 For the 5 people who want to pay $1000 for a headset
Yup, my VR rig is essentially an overpowered Beat Saber machine at this point. Not that there aren't other good VR games, I just never have any time left over!
@@mogencheng3829 I'm leaning towards Index but shame no new games at launch though
@@gothicvillasgaming I am the same way, I do not play many games with artificial locomotion on my Rift, they make me sick after 10 mins or so. I tend to play games like Ping Pong, Beat Saber, Job Sim etc were you move inside your space. Quest already pre ordered.
Would love to see these broken into segments with timestamps for those of us who can’t watch the whole thing in one sitting!
10/10 Review Video. That said, the product seems like the first PC game where everyone was sooooo excited that you are able to hold a device and click something and see it on the screen and it is you that controls the movement. People forget....So I am not interested in this, but rather can’t wait for 5-10 yrs when a person will be scanned, whole body, and your exact body configuration will be detected wirelessly. The controllers will be a glove of sort and grabbing a gun could be a cheap plastic rifle with a small sensor and you play while holding the gun and not pressing a controller that is very similar to the games you see on tv and control with wireless controllers. But the ability to feel a rifle, pistols, boxing gloves, Plastic tennis racket etc and the ability to play in a gym and with a huge play area in a real life multiplayer experience, will be amazing. It will be like playing paintball but instead you will be somewhere on a different planet with your buddies shooting monsters and talking through a headset while other people playing with you are in the game and recognized so that you don’t run into each other. And that is just a small improvement to what will be available in 20 yrs. Remember, if someone told us 20 yrs ago, when we had cheap flip phones with no camera, that our phones will have a quad core processor and will work faster online than any computer or lap top, as we will watch HD resolution movies on it and be able to play game awhile moving the phone and ask SIRI questions about almost anything....we would think that person needs to be mentally examined. So think what this would be like in your dreams and most likely that is what it will be and not our reality based imagination since our current reality isn’t able to imagine something that we think is not possible. Just like a electric car to go 0-60mph in less than 3 seconds would be impossible to imagine 20 yrs ago. Back then the drag race cars with 1200 horse power engines, would gon0-60 in over 3 seconds and that was considered a rocket in a car built just to go straight and had massive tires with parachutes to help stop the car since the breakers were not good enough...Your dream or imagination of what will not be possible, will be accepted as normal in a very short time. Good and scary things will come with all technological advances
I agree 100%. And this reminds me a lot of the movie Player 1, except that the movie goes too far about how much the game will take up of everyone’s life. It might be similar as far as the experience, but it will be ok expensive for people to have a moving floor in every direction and be able to jump and do a flip or whatever....It will be a game but at one point in time it will be used in the business world. Having a meeting while your body is perfectly scanned and your gestures and high definition view will make it possible for people to have meetings with political figures without the risk of danger. Same might apply for the criminals and big drug deals. The law will change and a game video might be used as the only evidence if they can prove that it was actually the user that arranged the big purchase of whatever illegal product or service....It will be great and horrible. Catching criminals will be harder for s long time until the laws change. Trust can catch the mid level guys who have to personally be at the location where the product is but the big bosses won’t ever have to be anywhere in person in regards to their high level criminal empires....we will see but anything great has always been used for great evil...
You guys have a great chemistry.😎👍🏻
I would probably buy the Quest in a heartbeat if there was just a way to play all my currently owned PC Rift games on it somehow, even if it means playing those particular games with the headset tethered or whatever. But I really can't afford to buy the headset and then have to purchase a load of games again, and it's not ideal if I have to play cut-down versions of the games I already own for PC VR when using the Quest either, or miss out on some new and high-end PC VR games entirely. Because without those games I'm not exactly sure why it's worth me getting one when I already have the Rift, even as much as the simplicity of setup and the portability of it is such an attractive feature.
There actually is a way and im sure if it works on the go it will work on the quest. Look up on youtube how to play steam games on oculus go when the quest comes out. played some steam vr titles using my go but i only had one controller so with quest and 6 degrees of freedom plus the 2 controllers you can play all your steam tittles.
The developer of ALVR, which is apparently already capable of good quality streaming from the pc (depending on setup/network), has mentioned he'll try to update it to support Quest: github.com/polygraphene/ALVR/issues/287#issuecomment-490386320
Here's a video of ALVR in use, to check latency/quality (current Go version, so only 3dof): ruclips.net/video/yOJIedvkZB0/видео.html
So a stupid question but if I have a rift s and my buddy gets a rift quest can we play multiplayer games together?
Yes but if you are on vr chat you can only see some avitars
Comparing that to the oculus go? Are you forgetting about all the people who adopted the gear vr and have not switched up? I am considering it thanks to the quest but not the other headsets for obvious reasons. Can we discuss?
i knew the day would come where I would regret spending 1k on a PC to run my $800 htc vive...
All I have to say is
*BRUH*
ALVR bro. Use it! And donate to the dev!
I wasted a few hundred on a PSVR
@@kgthompson5814 thats not a waste.
KG Thompson a psvr is good but I just want it to have less screen door effect and less god rays. And of course better controller and tracking.
This thing is kind of like the Nintendo Switch of VR headsets. Not as powerful as the competition, but has enough unique benefits to make it worth owning. The comparison kind of breaks down when you compare pricing though. The Quest VR is a much better value relative to its competition. PC VR is so much more expensive and the only thing you lose is higher quality graphics. But the actual resolution is super crisp and the refresh rate is more than fast enough. And tracking works extremely well, not accounting for certain areas where the cameras don't see the controllers. I really think they should have tried to put higher quality accelerometers and gyroscopes in the these controllers. In any case, for me personally, I don't need graphically impressive games in order to have fun in VR. I just want games that let me interact with 3D environments in fun ways. Hopefully developers will continue putting lots more games onto the Quest. At this point, the only thing I'm really disappointed about is the lack of an SD card slot ($100 for another 64 GB? Really? What is this, an iPhone?) and the short battery life. But the battery life is not bad all things considered. VR is not generally something you're going to be spending all day doing anyway. But part of me would have liked to see something closer to around four or five hours.
Also, I almost forgot that Nintendo has recently been tinkering with VR too, and mostly failing. Honestly, if they wanted to get into VR, they ought to just partner with Oculus and put some games on this thing. Why not? They're releasing games on mobile devices now. What's the difference?
You really need more upvotes. Hit the nail on the head.
Less than a year ago, Someone asked Steven Spielberg “how far away do you think we are from the technology of Ready Player One?” He said “3 years.”
ThePanthaPrince that’s best he has no idea. Haptic vests and 4K headsets are one thing. But the Oasis is a whole different thing
woof woof we will have singularity way before Oasis.
Jim Long yea the oasis is a pretty far stretch but i always said vr chat is like Oasis version 1 lol in terms of power standalone vr headsets, so much will be accomplished sooner than we think.
ThePanthaPrince The exponential curve of technological progress will hit another outage point. It happened in 06-08 with the internet. Next is VR!
Loading Classic WoW or something that resembles Second Life or Oasis is far easier than you may imagine with those massive cords and vests they were using for tracking. 3 years probably isn’t too far off of reality, if the people in these VR workshops keep going at it for making more affordable price points, accessibility, lightweight, etc.
-
I mean seriously imagine if Oculus was requested a VR set for NASA and one of their Monster PC’s for training and such. They could achieve the level of quality that Ready Player One shows.
Love your videos. In-depth, smart and asking all the right questions for casual and core users. Thanks for all your hard work both in front of and behind the camera!
I think it might be time for me to take the plunge
Dustin Ryan - Roepsch same
Heavily considering as well.
Might aswell
sebastianv7 just did 😂
i'm think'n about it...
One thing about outside. All plants scatter Infrared from the sun so It'll pick up so much IR from all leaves and grass. So the IR from the controller doesn't standout
The way people talk about the quest... it really feels like a historical breakthrough.
Jeremy, Norm. I haven't even gotten to the minute mark but I want you all to know you are the best.
I'm just hoping someone is able to get mod saber working on the device.
problem with this is that beat saber's eula restricts modding
@@Lara-dr8is like that will stop anyone.
@@CeleryMan666 it will stop facebook from allowing apps that grab onto other apps and make modifications. Quest may side-load, but it's still a closed system. The probability of modsaber working is very low. But there is always a way, it may just take a long time.
This for me is actually the difference between considering it at least for on an early sale Or definitely buying it asap...
@@evolicious I agree, I don't see this being that popular, or at least popular with tech savy people. Honestly I'd do it if I cared enough.
I see people complaining about this and stating that it’s a waste of money because of its cpu and battery life limitations. I understand that clearly, as stated in the video, pc vr will ALWAYS run better than mobile vr, but for someone like me that doesn’t have the $1,500+ for a good pc and pc vr (and has to scrape up a ton of tips just to be able to afford the quest), this is still a great way to get into the world of vr. Obviously it’s not gonna be perfect, but it will be good enough. Everyone seems to be obsessed with perfection, but personally, I was always fine playing games on my cheap laptop at 30 FPS with my graphics at 720p. Vr is still in its early stages, and while the pc vr is like the GameCube, I still had a lot of fun with the Gameboy.
I ordered a quest and a Rift S ...im a madman
Me too
I want to too but if the quest isnt compatible with steam vr in any way then ill just get the rift s only
Dude me too!!! Well done! 🤟😎👍👍🤜💥🤛
Why not the pimax xr ???
Madman because you didn't get an Index ;)
The sequel to this thing will be incredible. The Snapdragon 855's gpu is already twice as powerful as the Snapdragon 835 gpu in this thing. By the time the next version comes out, could be 150% more powerful with longer battery life.
Who do you buy the games or what? I am new to this!
Ferch same! Where do you get games??!!
Steam has a bunch of VR games. Try Island 359 for a neat experience if you like Jurassic park.
I believe, as with the Oculus Go, the Quest's storefront is baked right into the UI
Great review, love how these guys are discussing it through and through. Thanks!
I think some people would question if people could play vr chat with this but hey I like this and I would love to buy it if I had the money
I'm pretty sure that's one of the games that's supposed to be available either upon or shortly after launch
It is playable and works perfect but u can go In all the rooms and see Curtin characters
Just an update, thanks to VRidge, you can 100% use the Quest as a wireless PCVR option. It's got a few small quirks, VRidge is in early access for it, but it's 90% there with most games, I've already put a couple of hours into the Steam version of Beat Saber through the Quest.
I’m so freaking excited for this product!
Same, if Beat saber can get custom songs on this I'm sold.
I’m sold either way
I just added this to my 18th birthday wish list! It’s this month.so this came out to preorder at the perfect time.
Can you play modded songs with Beat Saber?
I'm pretty sure you can. at least once people start making them on the new level editor that came with the 1.0 update
at the moment you can't
Davy you can actually through side quest
@@JohntheWeir509 Nice
My school just got an Oculus rift 2 and I been helping test it. i'm IN LOVEEEE. IT SO COOL TO LEAVE THE WORLD!!!
The Oculus Go had extremely low max volume, and even with headphones it was really too quiet. It's the biggest single reason I ended up returning it. I really hope they have that figured out.
Rod Munch maybe u r just having trouble hearing try to see a doctor or something
It was fine for me so either you had a faulty unit or you're going deaf
@@rustywastakenwastaken For the Go my friend has one as well and he said the same thing - the post has 6 thumbs up, so it's not just me. Anywho, it's not an issue at all with the Quest and the headphone volume is also increased.
The best way to play high movement games where you do 360 turns and really feel mobile is Quest. Having my Rift S with ceiling tethers, you feel the tug of the tether as you move around, and if you attempt a few turns, the cord twists where you feel scared that the wire will snap. The quest masters freedom of movement, something that even the upcoming valve index at $1000 can not compete in as valve index still has a wire attached on it. If you dont need to turn 360, are not very mobile in your games and need the best graphics and framerates, get valve index. If you can deal with reduced graphics, no SteamVR store but want real freedom of movement, get the Quest. But be aware also, that the Quest loses tracking in the area right in front of your face, making first person shooters aiming downing the sight lose tracking sometimes.
So the controlers wont register if you hold them behind you?
VR is finally here. This is the true Gen 1.
26:23 Oh how wrong you was 😆
Last year I got an oculus rift and my pc was able to run literally everything but the graphics. Thanks to Oculus making this headset I have a second chance at a cheaper price! (My pc’s graphics card couldn’t be replaced. I would have had to buy a new pc)
VR will not die like 3D TV did as each generation will get better until it takes over from screen gaming.
But developers don't seem to have any idea of what makes the potential of VR so special.
They think every game has to be a frantic, kinetic cartoon.
The core value of VR is 'presence'. So 'atmosphere' is the main attraction and for atmosphere you don't need a frantic environment.
A still, slow moving player/environment where a player feels like they are truly in a place such as a creepy, echoey dungeon or cave. Or a Blade Runneresque dystopian street scene at night in pouring rain where the multiple, alien sounds of a futuristic bbzzare.
A VR experience is not so much about what you see but rather about what you feel.
The current crop of games and their devs seem to think all they have to do is take a Nintendo Wii experience and wrap it 360.
Must do better.
You must not be aware of the games on psvr... ghost giant, detached, dreams, bound, Moss, and Astrobot is
@@ras_krystafari3333 Astrobot: Terrible, not even first person. Just a platofrm game that you look at. Might as well be looking at a screen.
Ghost Giant: Despite the fpv hands, it's another cutesy game with a character that you look at rather than someone you are.
Detatched: A very good attempt at what I was talking about.
Dreams: Some good aspects of immersion.
Bound: Abstract fantasy so detracts from immersion. Also you look 'at' the character.
Moss: Again a cutesy platformer/3d world where you look 'at' the character.
I hope this thing is huge succes! I want to see what 2nd or 3rd gen Quest would look like, man this thing is amazing!
I preordered the 128gb on Amazon. I can't wait!!
Same here! HYPE! ONLY A WEEK!
Please post more stuff about the Quest! I am way too excited for May 21st.
Eh.. I'll continue waiting. Great video, thank you!
Would pick it up if I didn't own a PC. I'm glad this exists though, because I want VR to be accessible by as many people as possible.
15:40 those controllers look highly inappropriate from that angle
Lmao
Gorbla123 omg now I cannot unsee this
"Noodles"
UPDATE: The quest can connect to a pc with a usb c cable over usb 3.0 and act as an oculus rift s. It has improved graphics and can play steamvr games.
It doesn't have improved graphics. Quest+link streams over usb3, the image is very bad along with compression issues. If you want to play pc-vr games, get a PC-VR kit like a rift S.
@@evolicious have you actually tried it? I didn't noitce any visual decrease while playing boneworks, half life, pavlov
They understand that they are selling a service...not a device. This is old console style. Lose on the hardware and earn over the life of the customer relationship.

The fact that there is a double a battery in the controllers just make me happy like a toy car lol I’m so excited
*makes me happy like a toy car*
How awesome would it be if you can play pokemon on this and catch pokemon
Wouldnt be surprised if Nintendo tries getting into Vr soon
they showed something to do with Pokemon go and VR on twitter.
@@stevencrighton6890 They have a switch (cardboard level) VR already, with a Labo kit.
Cardboard lol....okay. ..
SIMDICK
I mean, Google Cardboard got a lot of people to see what VR was capable of at a base consumer level. Nintendo can only do so much.
Cool being wireless but I don't see any point for us Vive users to upgrade. 1) Step back on graphics on new device (are you kiding me? a 2 yr old hardware still beats the newest), 2) most of the Quest games already playable on Vive (most likely Vader Immortal will be playable in Revive), 3) no need for FBT for now since most games (except Vrchat) DOESN'T support it, 4) if you can't do outdoor under the sunlight, what's the point of wireless? mind as well keep in indoor and wired ( i have my vive cable go up to the ceiling so I never have any cable problem anyway and I also can do 360 rotation).
Therefore, I do predict there'll be a slight boost of sales in VR but not much
The Quest definitely doesn't make any sense for Vive owners, considering the standalone Index headset costs about the same. Even if you really wanted a self contained system, the value proposition really isn't very good.
It could at least be a decent stop gap measure for bringing VR to the masses.
So lets talk about the games! starts talking about hand tracking again
Here's what I want to know. You kind of addressed this, but not explicitly.
I use my Oculus Go for 360 and rectangular video content. I travel a lot for work, and LOVE watching movies in a huge virtual cinema instead of on my 10" tablet. I create and consume a bit of 360 content (for fun, no longer related to my work.)
The Go was absolutely unparalleled for this. The RGB stripe LCD had nearly zero screen door effect. How does the Quest's higher resolution pentile subpixel arrangement compare in this regard? In games and more interactive experiences, SDE mostly disappears on the Rift and Vive for me, but for video and 360 content it's horrible.
The ideal is that I get the Quest and give the Go to a kid who'd be overjoyed to have it. However, should I keep the Go for video and travel, and get a Quest just for games? Will I be dissatisfied with the Quest for video content?
Anyone know if The Walking Dead Onslaught will be coming to oculus quest? Assuming it is but not sure
Funny how this has been the year of the Quest. It came out and we all loved it. It got great reviews... fast forward about a half a year. Liked those games? Here are about 60 amazing VR games and experiences. Want a Rift? Don't bother. We'll update Quest to work just like a Rift with your PC. We'll even let you play Vive and Steam games with it. Say... 3000 titles that you can play by early 2020? But you know what, that's not enough. We're going to update the software for all the Quests so pretty soon you won't even need controllers. Just use your hands. This devise has more value than any tech I've bought in the past decade.
Be nice if could use it as a Virtual PC...!!!
You SORTOF can...and you will much better later on in it's lifetime.
That is so true.. but that would be another revolution.. DO we want so many revolutions at once? 😱😂😅
I do feel that one day, we are going to pay for having so much fun!
This thing is a beast for people who can’t afford a expert pc it does just as well and it’s barely cheaper like it’s a year later but it’s a def recommend
US price $499 (£383) for the Oculus Quest 128GB.
UK price £499 ($650) for the same device.
Facebook is ripping off the UK public.
Mark Sugar one thing I learnt after going to NY is that American sites don’t include the additional tax price until the very end of checkout (in the UK it’s already added to the price at the start)
so the prices are actually a lot closer than you first think
[laughs in murrica]
I'm sure this has absolutely nothing to do with VAT and the like, and is entirely Mark Zuckerberg growing a mustache just so he can twirl it while laughing maniacly at the extra 0.003% boost in revenue that Facebook will get from bilking the brits. Revenge for colonialism is best served cold, and in comically small increments.
Just ordered mine on amazon and base price before VAT was 417, with 83 VAT. As said above no one in states will pay 499 they will get local sales tax on top. Had a qucik check and 499 US was about 385 GB so difference is only about 30 GBP. so about a 8% markup. Not insignificant but not as big as originally appeared. Biggest difference is UK VAT.
Mark Sugar fuck em be happy if ur not in the UK lol
I love my HTC Vive and my Oculus Go, but clearly it's first-generation tech with a lot of room to grow. I'm very excited to see it evolve another step forward. It's going to be amazing to see where this goes over the next twenty years.
I know! Vr is the future! At least we won't be looking when we end the world.
What is the battery life!?
16:30
2 to 3 hours
Dose it matter just buy a battery pack
Are we able to stream our gameplay to a tv? That’s my favorite part about playing games like beat saber with friends, and watching what they do on the screen while they’re in the headset.
Hunter Hatfield , yes you Can!!!!!
Whoever thumbs down this video is psycho. These guys are so informative
John Christmas agree
@tommy aronson you want to know what I thumbs downed? You.
I want to be able to play AAA games on this thing. Games like GTA, Red Dead, Assassins Creed et al. That's the key if VR is going to be successful. There has to be content that people not just want to play but have to play. The current media content doesn't look that interesting to me. I want play a game like Cyberpunk 2077 and be fully immersed in the world and story in VR. I'm rooting for the Quest though and will probably pick one up.
How many Gb's are most games in Vr? I'm trying to decide on the 64gb or 128gb.
Anthony McDade if you have the money for 128gb don’t miss that chance there is 50+ games at launch but there is of course going to be more games maybe pavlov and gorn
@@ashtro1763 Fair point. I have a PC that I am dreading on the limited space that I have for my games and applications. I'm thinking of honestly picking up the Rift S since I feel like I'll have a better experience compared to something that runs on a mobile processer. I'm waiting on more reviews though. Anyways, I appreciate your insight. I'm hoping to save soon for my first VR headset.
Owning an Oculus Quest is a life goal of mine.
I'm gonna wear this and walk up to my dad and say "The future is now old man"
Mike Carmona lmao
@KATA Nani?!
Aw man, watching these awesome review videos is making me want to get my hands on the quest asap
You had me at "USB-C"
what i would buy is an oculus quest that can run like a rift s or vice versa. meaning i can plug the quest when i need to and unplug when i dont.
thats easy buy quest turn on dev mode sideload ALVR ..... play steamvr games on quest
@@bman4694 does it work on all games?
Has anyone seen anything about fogging? Specifically when doing beat saber and super hot? I read something about the fan pulling in air but I don’t know
So grateful they released this video today!
Do you notice screen-door effect on using it?
There will still be a little bit at that res, but it's low enough that you won't be worrying about it, especially once in motion. All new headsets are offering resolution roughly in this area now to minimise it.
Tape some counterweights to the back, added balance will help relieve neck and face ache
