Well I was expecting another tease of the CV2 at least but we didn't even get that!!! Very disappointed tbh.

snowdog said:You know what I meant. I was expecting to see something NEW. A teaser of the CV2 does NOT include the exact same thing they showed at F8 in May.

I do get Oculus' perspective on VR (I think) - Oculus isn't making money, but is basically paying for our apps and games. To get 10+ million users and to make VR profitable, Oculus needs to get a lot more customers - and Quest isn't a bad idea in that perspective.
Still Rift isn't bad or in any way outdated - it'll take at least a 2080 Ti getting Lone Echo to run perfectly in 90 fps (all settings maxed, including resolution), Seeking Dawn is already limited to super sampling at just 1.2. So the Rift is still so advanced that it can easily require video cards that still don't exist to get 90 fps (even if ss is below 2.0).
If Oculus released a CV2 today - which is more hardware demanding than the Rift - it would send the wrong signal, namely that VR still is for the truly high-end enthusiasts. With the Quest Oculus is telling the world that great VR is for everyone - and in 12-18 months, we might have much better video cards than today (even including RTX) making it a better time to release CV2 (assuming that hardware demands will be higher for CV2 than for CV1).
