Well I've calmed down a little now lol
I guess we'll have to wait and see what the 360 tracking is like before I pass judgement.
But if it doesn't have a better FOV than the current Rift I'm still going to look elsewhere I think, either a Pimax or a Valve headset. I'm hoping that @Shadowmask72's Pimax headset is going to be decent otherwise I'll probably have to do the unthinkable and give Valve some of my money. And that thought HORRIFIES me 😮
Just don't come back here saying how great Valve is if you do decide to jump ship 😄
Vive pro with wireless is a very good headset. Their inability to release anything better than their pathetic wands makes it meaningless to someone who has used the Touch controllers though.
It WOULD be a very good headset if they had a) been bothered to change the crappy lenses and b) you didn't need to take out a second mortgage to buy one.
A headset that costs over a grand to buy SHOULDN'T need you to mod with GearVR lenses.
It's a bit of a shite headset if you REALLY start to think about it.
Nope, it's just a very good headset.
Price is irrelevant to how good a headset is, it is only a barrier to whether we can have it or not. It's still a very good headset even if it is sitting on the shelf at the store.

If it was a very good headset you wouldn't need to get a GearVR, take the lenses out of it, take the lenses out of your Vive Pro and bung the GearVR lenses in the bloody thing. It WOULD have been a very good headset if they hadn't cut costs by using the same crappy lenses that the Vive has.

- HTC Vive Pro has better visuals on the market, but still uses bulky Wands (inferior hand controllers).
- WMR has better controllers than the Vive and cheaper entry level price for PCVR, but tracking is worse than Rift/Vive.
- Rift has the best controllers but God Rays and Screen Door are worse than WMR and Vive.
- Mobile VR is affordable, but lesser quality immersion and 360.
- Console VR has great exclusives (e.g. Resident Evil) but is inferior to 360 room-scale, and has inferior hand controllers (glowsticks).
- Location-based VR (e.g. arcades, theme parks) either have the bottom end of VR (Mobile VR headsets) or low-end experiences (cookie-cutter custom games) or deal with hardware/software issues (e.g. The Void has tracking problems, such as "bending" of assets and "accuracy"). The best versions of location-based VR is when they mimic Home-based PCVR (e.g. setting up Rifts/Vives to play Beat Saber). But this entails "not perfect" scenarios described above.
As of 2019, there is no "perfect" VR experience to be had by anyone. Everyone makes a compromise, and everyone makes an excuse/sacrifice for their VR of choice.🙂

Very true.

Does anyone know what the battery life is on the Oculus Quest yet? I get that Oculus Go is a 2 hour battery life because it geared more towards media. But if Quest is going to be used for gaming, I'm hoping for about 3 hours from the battery. It's a shame it won't have a battery that you can swap out while one is charging.
