Get introduction for our new VR users, can't wait for another million 3/3S users with the new chipset!

[@verilucis]

Started with Quest 2 and moved to Quest 3, and although I do enjoy playing games, I sometimes simply don't have the energy to do so. Yet, I find myself watching movies or TV programs w/ my headset pretty much everyday. Despite having a big screen in living and bed rooms, I still find myself enjoy laying down and watching on the Quest. (I use SkyBox VR to view, streaming from laptop.) So, if you are into watching movies or TV, I highly recommend the Quest 3. Thanks for the videos, as always, Matteo! Keep up the great work!

Regarding comfort - don't do what I did, and pick The Climb as your very first VR game, and then try to play it while standing. I already don't do great with heights, got slightly motion-sick while climbing, accidentally flexed my hands, which of course let go of the cliff face and I plummeted. When I hit the ground, my legs basically turned to water, I had to rip the headset off and nearly vomited. Second try was Walkabout Mini-Golf, which was waaaaaay easier to handle.

Hey ho! Welcome all the new VR people that might/will be pouring in with the Quest 3S coming out now. This is a very cool channel to hang out, get info, and talk to nice people. It's gonna be a wild and amazing journey, and the VR community is very welcoming.

The best beginner guide, especially about the motion sickness part. I am the older people😂😂😂 Hope some days I will adapt it😢

[@RSturtleness]

Excellent tutorial. My 3s is arriving tomorrow and I can’t wait. Thanks for the info and keep,em coming.

[@paulbellino5330]

There is nobody into VR like I am. But when I first started I took the headset off for a week. I was that sick but slowly overtime I got used to it. Now I can do anything

[@SmartLightDimwit]

I recommend picking up some knuckle straps so you can let gp of the controller while playing and it will not fall from your hands. It’s an inexpensive upgrade but makes a big difference. The fairly basic ones offered by Meta have the benefit of not covering the battery door and also work with their charging dock, but there are much cheaper versions out there.

[@Bigjnap]

I totally agree with the Kiwi battery strap being way better. I originally had an official battery strap for my quest 2 that was horrible as compared to the kiwi brand at twice the cost. When I got my Quest 3 I ordered one as soon as Kiwi had them available. I have absolutely zero complaints.

[@PawPadsGaming]

Im looking to buy my first ever VR headset, and am looking at reviews of the Meta Quest 3, would you recommend it as a first headset? I know theres the 3S but with the lenses being better on the 3, im happy to spend a lil more. Appreciate your input, thanks in advance!

I had the Oculus Rift back in 2016 (CV1 I think is what people called it) and was excited to play Adr1ft which had you floating around a space station. I played it several times, but twice I felt bad enough that I had to lay down and sleep off the effects. That was it for me and that headset. So I certainly know the effects of trying to use a joystick to move. I tried locomotion movement with Resident Evil 4 and quickly switched to the teleporting option because my head did not like that kind of movement. Thanks for the tips! I’m hoping my head eventually gets used to the locomotion style, but the teleport option seems to work well for avoiding motion sickness. If you do start feeling a little off and have been teleporting quickly, just slow down how quickly you are teleporting and your head may go back to normal.

[@allbecomesiron]

I had to quit flight training because of motion sickness. But I just worked through VR little by little and my brain learned what to do. Had some sickness but broke through the other side and now I can roll a TIE fighter 20 times and no discomfort. So worth it and way better than having to teleport or avoid driving and flying games.

[@Rammvis]

Hell yes to prescription lenses 100% worth it. And VR Rock... rocks, that's the end of my dad joke commentary.

I personally am looking forward to buying a quest 3/3s soon this was a great video for ideas but I don’t find myself interested in accessories might change soon thi

[@SkwydZee]

3rd party head strap is an ABSOLUTE ESSENTIAL. Part of the reason Quest headsets are so cheap because they include NONE of the comfort features more expensive headsets have. It does however, allow you to build up your device over time in smaller purchases and get into VR sooner, rather than having to save to drop $1000 on a more comfortable headset with arguably less features and software.

[@christophermorton914]

Back to the PSVR2 pessimism are we? Nevermind the fact that every cross platform game is gonna look, perform and feel better on the PSVR2, whether that’s through PS5 or via a PC. I feel really enthusiastic about VR in general, we have killer titles on the way across the headsets. I’m looking forward to Arkham too, though it’s a shame that’s all I’m looking forward to playing on a Quest.

[@Gamingwithmatteo311]

@christophermorton914 my stance has never changed. Sony is not investing into the psvr2. The adapter was to sell of excess stock, end of story. Psvr2 is not profitable for them

[@ilikestuff8218]

first of all, you're not 100% sure about the look because while the graphics is better, PSVR2 only has fresnel lenses and have mura issues while Quest 3 has pancake lenses. second, feeling better is also debatable because again, pancake lenses, PSVR2 is also heavier and wired forcing you to use artificial turning, artificial turning not only breaks immersion, it also makes you more motion sick than just turning with your body. lastly, let's say you're right, what's the point of that when the exclusives on PSVR2 suck?

[@christophermorton914]

⁠@@Gamingwithmatteo311haha reps at Sony are on record that PSVR2 was being developed for use on PC early on. Your lack of investment point makes no sense seeing as they developed and created the damn thing, as well as funded lots of games for it, including paying millions of dollars for RE8. As a Quest 3 and PS5 owner who also uses PCVR, I just find your points always so disengenuous. Quest 3 shills claim Quest is great because it can be used with PC then when PSVR2 does it, it’s to “get rid of excess stock”.

[@christophermorton914]

@@ilikestuff8218lol you think PSVR2’s heavier? Try wearing a Quest 3 with the 3rd party mods to make it comfortable and then the batteries to make it actually usable for longer than an hour. And I own games on both platforms because of them being released at different times or being offered for free and every single one of them plays and feels better on a PSVR2. Look at Into the Radius. And the PSVR2 exclusives suck? Lol okay mate. All we’ve got on standalone Quest 3 is Asgards Wrath 2, the commercial flop of AC Odyssey and Arkham next week. Any oculus exclusives can be used on PC with a PSVR2 now and hate to break it to ya, that’s the best of the headsets to use for Lone Echo 1 and 2 👍

I never thought I'd get sick in VR. But sometimes I do. It's not unbearable but still.

[@Cre4tor.]

Im looking to buy my first vr headset. And its probably going to be the quest 3s. In an advert I saw them mentioning something about a new processor. So now I wonder, do Games play just on the headset itself or do I need a pc?

[@Gamingwithmatteo311]

Games play directly from the Quest headset and you have the added option of connecting it to a PC

I am liking the Quest 3 a lot but there are times when I see some PlayStation VR2 stuff that has me thinking that would have been a good option too, like the lighting I see in the Metro footage on PSVR2

[@Gamingwithmatteo311]

No batman though

[@joemojoVR]

​@@Gamingwithmatteo311brought the 3s coming from a quest2. I do also have a psvr2 and reverb G2. Psvr2 is king for horror games ( oled blacks are chefs kiss)and for psvr2 titles also . 3s will be my stand alone king and for more active pcvr games like hell split arena where not being tethered is a plus . Great video as always Matteo keep giving us info , your passion for vr is refreshing.

PIco 4 ultra comes with fullbody tracking and 12g of ram vs metas 8 gig of ram

not much supports the tracking though and that ram doesn't make much of a difference overall

How do you deal with lenses fogging up?

[@cory2016]

I only one don't Recommend is p c v r Unless you have A PC then you got three Options .I do agree if you don't have ps5 or don't want play new first or 3rd party flat games play vr for only the games and play both flat and vr go with Psvr2 if like it all go q3s or q3 Max mustered sold more on Psvr2 than Meta. I think vr needs three platforms more room to grow. i dont know if Psvr3 uses Psvr2 on ps6. i do think the meta is more focused on vr and pushing the Boundary they still need to work on things while Playstation is accessories or another way to play games, still good three way to play ps5, vr then if want PlayStation portal to have the handheld Experience so you can play game while watching tv if q3s then you got everything but a pc or a switch but family might have one

another app to check out that's not a gaming app is Multiverse

[@jace1693]

psvr2 does Not require a ps5. No matter your opinion on marketing moves or exclusives, it is designed to play pcvr.

[@Gamingwithmatteo311]

@jace1693 it requires a ps5 or gaming computer which is even more expensive and no it wasn't designed for pcvr that's why most of the key features like hdr head haptics and eye tracking don't work on pc

man it's sad seeing how barren pcvr is right now. where is valve bro???

[@Gamingwithmatteo311]

@n9ne not enough $$$ in it right now

[@allbecomesiron]

I got into PCVR via standalone. There must be others who are/will be doing this also. Does anyone know if PCVR engagement has actually dropped at all since Quest, or does it just seem like that? I predict growth in PCVR as standalone noobs figure it out.

[@Gamingwithmatteo311]

@allbecomesiron there is no one in standalone to fight it out, its meta or meta. In terms of pcvr it's been static for years. No real growth and standalone players outnumber pcvr 10-20 to 1

[@n9ne]

​@@Gamingwithmatteo311 valve needs to release something like the vision pro for steam. fully standalone pcvr headset for everything VR MR AR, regular games, spatial computing, the whole nine yards. one day this will happen, and i can't envision anyone but valve achieve this.
