I been watching your old ass for 25 years now lol were both old now brother. Merry Christmas
Wtf
@@Waffles435he is joking
All I want to say is that I’m very happy to see that you are still doing what you love to do most! I got hooked watching y’all on judgement day back in early 2004 & it brings me the most joy to see that you are alive n’ well man! Much love & I look forward to new content & watching some older videos as well!
I think VR is the only place where there's real innovation, these days. The consoles are just incremental improvements talking about ray tracing, fps, etc... nerds. 😁 The amount of fun you can have in VR shooting zombies jumping through the windows of your own home is the real next gen.
Man it's been forever since I've seen you on the Internet. Originally starting with EP Daily back when it was on TV so seeing you again is awesome
Loving my Quest 3. I gifted the Q2 to my son and we've had a blast playing games together like Black Hole Pool and Demeo.
Getting my nieces a quest 2 and I’m getting a quest 3 any online games you recommend?
@@M_A_R_K_23 Oh man, so many to mention! Walkabout Minigolf, Eleven Table Tennis, Black Hole Pool, Demeo, Dungeons of Eternity, Beat Saber, Vermillion VR Painting, Real VR Fishing, Synth Riders, Tetris Effect, Path Of The Warrior, Racket: NX, and for movies, Big Screen Beta -- just to name a few. :) You can tell we're not much into FPS games or 'metaverse' apps, and even still there is a lot of variety.
Quest 3 is pretty much a home run and wonderful companion piece to Switch OLED imo. If Q3 had OLED-tier black levels, Quantum dot colour, eye tracking & Foveated Rendering for better game performance and maybe the PSVR2's adaptive triggers it would of been a solid 10 for me. But then the sticker price would of went well beyond a grand CAD. Can't have it all at $649. 9/10 is on the money.
MetaQuest 3 makes a great complementary VR headset with the PSVR 2. Having both allows the best of console and PCVR gaming. My preference is for the PSVR 2 because of it's ability to play AAA VR games and its plug'n play nature.
You just described Quest 3's ability.. but with Quest 3 you don't need to be tethered which is so much better.
@@tensix5481until the batteries die. I prefer my psvr2 because of the longer play sessions without the needed add-ons to make it more comfortable and extra batteries.
I prefer the Quest 3 for it's unplug and play feature! Haha
I've got both, and the Quest 3 does nearly everything that much better. Going back to the PSVR2 feels pretty rough mainly because it's tethered, has a terribly small sweet spot, i find it very uncomfortable/front heavy around the bridge of my nose(Where's the padding!?), OLED mura can be quite nasty, image is not as sharp or clean, motion isn't as smooth, not a fan of the rings surrounding the controllers, then there's the awful god rays, noticeable glare, Bulky fat front visor, no IPD 'number' based dial and zero VR eco system. I can't believe Sony released a Wired VR headset with Fresnel lenses in 2023....
PSVR2 desperately needs a revision. No matter how many incredible exclusives it gets, like Resident Evil Villlage & RE4: VR Mode(which I'm currently still playing at the momento'), it's still going to remain a disappointment in sales because it's held back by too many compromises. Sony prioritized OLED & HDR, but unfortunately regular non micro-OLED is not compatible with Pancake lenses, and the high brightness from HDR has a negative impact on motion clarity. Motion blur is the name of the game. Can't have it both ways at this point.
If Quest 3 had a micro-OLED(Oled black levels + richer vibrant colours), Eye tracking & Foveated Rendering for better game performance and even adaptive triggers, I don't think i'd point out a single flaw other than the fact that it can't match the horse power of a PS5 on it's own. :P But meh, graphics aren't everything!
Been watching you since tech-tv days, Merry Christmas Vic
Great review man! Cant wait for xmas i have a quest 3 coming from santa. My last headset was a gear vr so im pretty sure this will be a nice leap in technology
You know you’re going to have an awesome day when you start your morning with Electric Playground!
❤️👊🏻
Great rundown and review of the MQ3, ty.
Have a great holiday!
Thank you! 👊🏻
Sold. Just have to get the bigger storage option i travel for work so having to delete and re download games would drive me crazy
Oh wow, used to watch you on g4, cool to see you’re still doing it
I love what I get to do and there are many ways for people to watch my stuff so I’ve been busy covering this stuff for decades. Thanks finding the channel! Hope you stay and get caught up. Lots of fun vids to check out. :)
@@EPN i am staying caught up, good work
Huh. Surprised it's taken this long for there to be a review for this headset. I can already tell that wait was worth it because it HAD to have been a fun freakin time giving that thing a whirl.
Still gonna stick with my Quest 2 for the time being though but maybe one day with this one...
There's no need to upgrade now. If your happy with it then wait till the Quest 3 lite or 4
There won't be a quest 4. This is vr's dying gasps
Meta selling 250k headsets a month with money to burn, Apple coming into the space in Jan/Feb! Vr/Ar is only really just starting.
Like Tim Apple said "they'll be a time when we won't understand how we got by without it but the public will need educating"
Dude, you've already tried Worlds at War VR, I'm curious about your opinion. This game supports three monitors, could you check if you can?
Hulk VR would be cool
Agreed!!
Asgard's Wrath 2 looks fun. Wonder if there will be a non-VR version at some point.
Great video!! 😊
Awesome review, Vic! Just got one myself, and loving it. There's a great sale on the Metaquest store at the moment, so thanks for all the mini game reviews!
What sale are you talking about
Thank you!!
Be sure to look into team beef ports like Doom 3 and Jedi outcast
I trust your reviews since you have tried literally every platform there is
I have 2 512 quest 3’s I love it.
Why 2 ?!! In case one dies you have another one ??!! Aren't you a spoiled brat lol
@@frankraym space mostly I have a lot of games I have collected since the quest 2 64gb version. I do charge one wile I’m playing on the other and rotate. I hate puzzle piecing and deleting and redownloading games. Just like to have them there and any given time to play.
Asgaurd Wrath 2 free with headset
Thats a buy just for that.
Playing
Alan Wake
Cyberpunk 2077
Asgards Wrath over christmass.
Great days
Great Review!
i've paired a 20,000 mah external battery and it fits nicely in my pocket. That way, I don't even feel the weight of it with a long enough usb-c cord.
It's a pretty good way to get a longer time out of the Quest 3.
Yeah... until the battery 💥😮
External batteries definitely are meant for this. If you have an explosive battery issue, best look for quality batteries lol.
I am glad I got into VR with the Quest 3 as it seems like it has a lot of improvements over the Quest 2 and other Headsets.
Enjoy the hell out of it!
The Pancake lenses alone are worth the upgrade. The fact that you can pop the headset on and not have to fiddle and adjust it to get it 'just right' like the PSVR2 is a game changer. Once you dial in your IPD you're set. Plus, you're getting a noticeable sharper/clearer and cleaner image too, and the slim form factor and ring-less controllers just make it feel like a more elegant, freeing legit-VR experience. PSVR2 on the other hand, is starting to feel like a semi-ancient cumbersome mess at this point. :P
If i could magically connet my Quest 3 wirelessly to my PS5 for PS5 power, while enoying it's exclusives like Resident Evil Village & 4: VR Mode, i'd do it in a heart beat. Q3 does nearly everything better, with the exception of black levels, colour and it's weaker controller haptic/rumble.
Can I play SteamVR Games on this without having a powerful PC. Can the Quest3 handle SteamVR Games? Oh, and is there like a "cinema" experience where I could watch movies?
hELL IM STILL TREYING TO GET OVER THE MOTION SICKNESS on my quest 2 . if i can not , then mine will be used for watching movies and all in 3D
Pretty nice. But I'm gonna wait a few more years still. Want more games like Asgards Wrath.
I’ve never used VR, I’ve been looking into getting one but I am absolutely LOST on where to begin/which one to buy. I was going to go for the PSVR2 because I have a PS5 but I saw that it can’t play Half Life Alyx so that is a HUGE disappointment - idk what to do 😭
I have both psvr2 and quest 3, if you have a solid pc with a excellent graphics card, get a quest 3 that way you can run pcvr and the quest standalone experience, if you don't have a great pc, get psvr2 the graphics are far better than the quest 3 standalone and games like gt7 vr and resident evil 4 remastered in vr are in the top 3 vr experiences I've ever had even including pcvr and I'm running a 3080ti with a i9 for a pc.
@@chrisbayer7294 What about Alyx :( also I don’t even HAVE a PC 😂
@@asapbruhhhhh only way to play alyx is on pcvr, it doesn't run on quest standalone, if I were you I would get a psvr2, also depending on what games you already have there are lots of free vr upgrades to existing ps5 games
I'd say, the PSVR2 is definitely without question worth owning just for Resident Evil 4: VR mode & RE: Village. They're both incredible experiences and only available on PSVR2. Plus, you have access to PC VR-tier 3rd party releases like Moss: Book 2 and so much more. Sure, being tethered to a cable really sucks for stand-up VR, and the Sweet spot really stinks, but it's understandable why Sony opted for both.
Since a 'wireless to PS5' connection at this point would cause image compression and increase latency, plus you can't use a regular OLED display with Pancake lenses. So Sony would of had to opt for LCD+Pancake instead, possibly Quantum Dot-LCD which would have noticeably worse black levels compared to OLED, but improved colours over Q3's basic LCD. Also, using LCD Local Dimming to achieve deeper inky blacks in VR would cause noticeable blooming too. double edged sword scenario. Can't have it all with budget VR sets! :P Micro-OLED is the way to go, but it's expensive and reserved for premium VR headsets like Apple Vision Pro and Meta's upcoming 2025 headset. By 2030, Micro-OLED should be affordable enough for consumer VR, like with Quest 5(or 6) and PSVR3.
Quest 3 boasts a handful of improvements over PSVR2, but a small handful of trade offs. Both are worth owning. It's just too bad that meta didn't release a Q3 Pro along side with vanilla Q3, with a Micro-OLED display, Foveated Rendering & Eye Tracking for more power, plus Adaptive triggers. Might cost 2x as much as Q3 with the following, but at least they wouldn't be alienating those who are willing to spend more.
By 2030, if Sony decides to launch PSVR3. It should be almost Glasses/Visor-like, 4K per eye(PS6 will offer 8K), 120d FOV, micro-OLED, a wirless to PS6 connection, Ring-less ergonomic controllers, AR feature, backed up by the power of the PS6, and so much more. 2030 is when VR will start to truly take off imo with VR3 and Quest 5 or 6.
@@NeonPizza80sI think Meta will invest heavily into VR than Sony. Sony may make a few VR games but I have a feeling they will drop support soon for it sadly. Meta is going to invest much more into it
Hey Vic! Have you ever dealt with vr motion sickness? Or the jarring feeling with movement in vr? If so was it something you have to get used to? Thanks!
For me, after about a week in VR I became essentially immune to motion sickness. If you take it slow, if you are careful, I think the majority of people can get out of it. Especially as the tech keep improving.
It simply is something you get used to. Some people are not affected by it from the onset - but I'd wager that most people have some kind of initial VR sickness. It's referred to as "VR legs" for a reason, like "sea legs", your nausea fades the more you are exposed to it. Your brain simply has to get used to this new sensation.
I have had it on a few occasions. Mostly back in the PSVR1 days. And I’ve just taken the headset off and taken a break and then gone back in a day or so later. I play with all the comfort settings off and as close to full FPS controls as possible so yeah that can get a little intense but the more you play the more comfort you have and the more exhilarating the action gets!
If you want to play stuff that eases you into VR try the vehicle based experiences first…Star Wars Squadrons, racing games, etc or the games that have you work as the camera for a 3D character (Moss, Lucky’s Tale) before you start walking around in 3D space and then eventually climbing up to rooftops and leaping off of them in Assassin’s Creed Nexus!
@@EPN awesome thanks for the reply! Will try out those suggestions
Meta Quest 3 is awesome. Best VR headset on the market.
Dude, there's no way you're 35. Your astrics "ish" helps, but...I have been watching you since I was a kid! And I AM close to that age... Maths...
To say that the graphics on this thing are even close to PSVR2 is pretty crazy to me. RE4 remake and Gt7 on a HDR OLED screen with a massively more powerful system powering the graphics..
I miss echoVR
if xbox ever adopts vr they should just use the meta quests rather than making their own vr headset. itd be kinda dumb that youd have to buy a new vr headset for every console/device you wanna use. just use whats already there. you dont need a new tv for everything you wanna plug into it
You forgot to speak about the microphone which seems to be the biggest flaw
You know what I didn’t jump online to test out the mic and I turned it off when I was recording my clips. Thanks for the heads up. I’ll check it out and mention that in a future vid. Maybe the best thing to do if you need the mic is pop in wired buds. (Not ideal)
curious about Resident Evil on this thing
The original RE4 was converted into an excellent VR experience for the Quest 2 and 3 by Armature. It’s a blast to play - won’t be as cool as RE Village or RE4 Remake in VR on PSVR2 but still … no cable!
They've updated most of the popular games now. Or just get the quest games optimizer. Better than the Quest 2 in every way! Amazing device:)
Be another 6/7 years of development yet before it goes properly mainstream
How does this work if you need glasses? Does anyone know???
You can order specific prescription lenses for the system. You don’t want to wear glasses and possibly scratch the pancake lenses of the Quest 3. 👊🏻
Damn...Victor is 35...ish. I'm 41...damn I suddenly felt a lot older, and created a mid-life crisis moment. Haha. Salute VL. 😅
Are you sure 128 gig ok???
Im still at least 10 years out from getting vr. Motion sickness is the worst.
most VR games have better comfort settings now and most VR devices have higher refresh rates so less problems with motion sickness.
I have that issue currently with VR. I have a PSVR2 and Quest 3, but no matter what game I play, I always get motion sickness. I could never game in VR for longer than an hour.
@@TheSoxor123 that's like me. It is way better than it was but my inner ear says hell no.
Wow 35, I thought you were older then me at 42. 🥺
Victor Lucas was born on 13 February 1968
Nope that’s not my birthday actually. :)
uhm i think thats call ar not vr
Vic you need a bigger play space when reviewing VR. kept seeing the out of bounds grid every time u swing ur axe. LUV YA VIC! :)
I do I know. I play upstairs sometimes but then I’m putting on a show for my family. There’s only so much space for me in the basement but I haven’t smashed my hands or knocked over any action figures yet…knock on wood!
I used to watch you on G4. I played that shitty Maximo game one PS2 because you wouldn’t shut up about it. 😅😅torture but best summer ever.
😀 those games were great! But yes they got difficult. Thanks for watching! 👊🏻
dude im 34 and I have been watching you since I was 10. LIAR!! lol
Caught in the act! Thanks for the long time support!! ❤️
@@EPN so how old are you really? im guessing late 50's lol
Can't fault Vic for trying & I'm 34 too! Lol
I'm 90 I have been watching him since 1990
What’s up with so many people banging on how the straps uncomfortable! It’s fantastic and very comfortable ! Just shills trying to sell garbage.
Also 2 hours in VR is plenty of game time before a charge .
Best gaming device ever
Until Apples version debuts 😅
Apple isn't selling a gaming machine. Just some weird AR thing for offices
Yeah really curious to see what Vision Pro delivers for games!
Apples headset will do everything despite them advertising it as predominantly a productivity focused product. It's a known fact that vr devs are already developing games for it👌
Don't buy one. It's fun for about 1 hr. PCVR is a landscape of land mines. It's just not worth it.
As soon as he said he got a free headset.. I pretty much knew watching the rest of this video was pointless🙄 Everybody who gets free Headsets say the same thing basically.
