"Quest" might put some soccer moms off (sounds a bit D&D).


Good.

Well being a Rift enthusiast I am disappointed...
Quest in the Spring, no telling when a Rift version 2 might be forthcoming.

I get where they are going and how they are wanting to turn it into a very large market, but my desires and interests are in PC-VR only.
I may be looking elsewhere now.
Pretty bummed out myself.



But it means we don't have to upgrade video cards for a year and can await 7nm gpus  😄

He asked the wrong people about VR. I don't give a damn about been tethered if it means having a good update to CV1. Judging by what has been said so far, I don't hold out much hope for CV2 anytime soon or even next year. And next spring far to long to wait for SC..

Rift 2 WILL come, now isn't the time. Even if they ignored mobile, good tech takes time and a half assed rift 2 isn't desirable (could damage VR - pimax and vive pro janky shite is proof of that). I guess 2020 will be rift 2. For the things many of us really want in a CV2 it can't just be magicked up at good costs and good ergonomics. More to this game than sticking higher res screens in a margarine tub, ala pimax. 

They want to do it right first time, so they need more time. 

Also this will give Nvidia and AMD time to pull their fingers out of their A$$es on 7nm and stop holding the PC gamers to ransom for this 20x0 series overpriced, underpowered crap.  Perfect storm of GPUs, pricing, tech and new developments = 2020. Late 2019 at best.

Enthusiasts are not going to push VR forward, mainstream console/casual mobile players will do. Multiplayer games servers for VR are a barren wasteland. I am happy they are being aggressive with pricing and happy they are focusing on more eyeballs in VR rather than catering to the ultra-enthusiast with a high-end PC rig.

Half assed are you joking? We've had a big updates to Cpu/Gpu since CV1, which could run on a Geforce 970, 2 years ago. So the tech is there for CV2 now, it doesn't have to be half assed..That's if they've even been working on CV2 with the new hardware at all. Sounds like their more for SC by the sounds of it..
