RedRizla said:Hate to say it, but could they scrap CV2, if SC does great when it's released next year? Why bother with CV2 if SC does great?Did you watch and listen? Quest (SC) has limitations due to being untethered to a PC. The Rift is the flagship "gold standard" (their words today) and will be the go-to unit to push VR beyond the limitations of GO and Quest. ffs

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Still Rift isn't bad or in any way outdated - it'll take at least a 2080 Ti getting Lone Echo to run perfectly in 90 fps (all settings maxed, including resolution), Seeking Dawn is already limited to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 (and 45 fps on my GTX 1080). 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).

Well to say CV1 is their flagship it would have been nice to hear more about CV2, which I'm sure would be even greater then their flagship.

Not the "CV1." The Rift.CV1, CV2, CV3, etc... those are version numbers. The CV2 would not be "greater than their flagship" lmao, that doesn't even make sense. The Rift will always be their Flagship regardless of the version unless they discontinue the Rift. They confirmed that the Rift is not being discontinued.
