That's mad, they're actually punishing people who bought the Quest 2 early.

Early adopters always get screwed over. You would think they would extend that to anyone who bought one already.

I think they did something similar with the Quest 1 with Vader Immortal?

I think that was the black friday sale. Considering its extremely low price, they couldn't discount the headset, so I wouldn't really give them too much guff over the vader thing.

Glebee · 20-11-2020 5:30pm

For linking Quest to PC do I need a cable or can it be done over wifi? I presume if its a cable the longer the cable the better.

Vader Immortal thing at least happened like 4/5 months later. Quest 2 been only out over a month now.

It doesnt need a right angle connection on the end for comfort or anything just a normal (long) cable?

I find the right-angle connectors actually hard to remove on the Quest 2 due to the headband getting in the way... in that case a standard plug might actually be preferable as it would be easier to pull out

But yeah maybe getting a right-angle connector adaptor might be a good idea just for the option if you wanted a neater look

Last year the software sale was 28 November to December 1. So I am still holding out hope.

The link update is great, squadrons running at a solid 90fps even on my long in the tooth 1070.

Thargor · 21-11-2020 12:17am

Whats Skyrim VR like out of interest? Would you play through the full game in it or is it just a tech demo? It'll be fine on the Quest 2 I assume?

EDIT: Linked to my gaming pc obviously...

A 1070 is long in the tooth? Would I be wasting my time and money by getting a 6GB 1060???

That is so disappointing, that pushes this out of my budget sadly. Their site states it works with a 1060 so was hoping that would do be good enough.
Is the headset still worth it as a stand alone unit? Are there many decent games or apps to use with it as a stand alone?

yeah it's great standalone! Superhot VR, Beat Saber, Walking Dead Saints & Sinners, Population One, Pistol Whip, etc etc

Loads of superb titles for the Quest as is.

Not to mention you can sideload games that have been updated for VR like Half Life, Doom 3 (coming this month), Quake 1 + 2, Doom (which is amazing in VR), Return to Castle Wolfenstein

mrcheez · 23-11-2020 9:17pm

Heads up... Doom 3 is €1.29 on Fanatical

https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/doom-3

Get it in anticipation of Doom 3 sideloaded in VR on Quest 2 any day now...

Note: BFG version won't work ... has to be the original

HOly fck!!! I had no idea RTCW was playable on this!!!! That alone makes it worth the money for me

bullpost · 24-11-2020 12:00pm

I'm new to side-loading and have a question - Are the side-loaded games run from the quest or are they streamed from a PC? I dont have a Gaming PC and am wondering if I can play these games?

Played direct from the headset, no need to connect a PC at all (apart from getting the game files onto the headset using any old PC)

They run on the quest itself I'm pretty sure, if you look up some youtube tutorials for using SideQuest you will see how it works.

Anyone get the OCULUS30 code for 30% off eligible apps valid upto December 1st?

I think its for selected accounts only. I think i'll be using mine for Population One!

kerplun k · 25-11-2020 10:37pm

I’ve never played fortnite, nor do I ever want to, but population one has got me interested. Has anyone on here tried it? Would you recommend it?

27-11-2020 12:25am

They extended the Asgard's Wrath promotion to all Quest 2 owners. Didn't see it posted in this thread (it is in the Rift/Vive one but not here). I just found out today!

I opened a request case last night and it was sorted in the morning. Probably won't play it for ages now!

Path of the Warrior is on sale for €13.99 on the Quest store.

https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/2032870023439846/

It's cross buy so that if you buy it on the quest store you get the rift version free when you search for it on the rift store after buying it on the quest store. You do not need a quest to buy it.

It's like jumping into the world of streets of rage or double dragon in VR!

just fyi, this €9.99 on Rift store (cross buy) today

Can anyone who uses their quest with their PC to play games (via link or Virtual Desktop) gimme an idea of CPU, GPU, Ram you are running and how well it gets on. Planning to head over to the building forum in the next weekish with a list for them to pick apart

So My GTX 1660 super and Ryzen 3600 machine arrived this week. Tried some Virtual Desktop Steam VR, unfortunately the router is in the sitting room and while my gaming rig is wired up I needed to be nearer the router to get it to work well or their was serious jitter and lag. I couldn't really try it out but had an anker 10ft cable ordered that arrived today. I bought the Humble VR bundle and installed Creed (I know I can get it on the quest too) and it worked like a charm. Now the only issue is my college semester has 2 weeks left and I have 4 assignments and some exams to deal with

VR Xmas though...

Fastway delivered mine last week. It was lucky i was in, fastway are capable of leaving packages anywhere.

Thanks, What's the general consensus on 64gb vs 256gb version?. Quest games looks pretty small. I've also got a gaming PC so will be using Link too along with standalone Quest games.

Mucashinto · 28-11-2020 12:27am

Damn, Oculus don't really do game sales do they?

Being biased as I'd love some bargains but I really think they'd gain a lot more traction with new adopters if there were some quality games available reasonably cheap. A couple of 50% offs on some of the bigger titles would end up with me spending more money on other titles tbh and then I'm locked in with a decent library.

Just asked one the lads who got one 2 weeks ago and it was Nightline/UPS. Think they use a bunch of different carriers. Did you buy off their site? Doesnt state fastway as a courier for them.

Cirrus Incus · 28-11-2020 1:05am

There's a good chance I won't be home when the courier arrives. Would it be safer to get it delivered to a parcel motel depot and pick it up there?

They used to have great deals. I guess a new marketing team took over... although free Asgard's Wrath made a nice change of pace

Did this over the weekend. Fair bit of work involved if you dont have side-quest/Steam clients already installed. But got through it and works per the instructions.

Looks great - only played a short time so far.

Had a look on the Oculus app on desktop and Rift games seem a fair bit cheaper generally (eg 11.50 vs 17.50 for SuperHot) so I guess there's a premium for going wireless. Fair enough, and hopefully it will come down with enough sales/competition

Yes, bought direct. Facebook are taking a risk shipping with Fastway, I find them very hit and miss. They could leave the package under a bush in the garden....

Finally took the plunge and purchased the 64GB version off the Oculus store. Was in 2 minds over the 64GB and 256GB version but decided to purchase the smaller one and use the €100 I saved on games over Xmas.

Delivery date estimate was 11th December on the 256GB version but 24th December on the 64GB version I purchased! I hope it arrives before xmas

Is the estimated delivery accurate or has anybody received before that estimate?
