...Now time to move on to 2019. Here are my predictions:Overall, I feel that 2019 will be a strong year for Oculus, both with the release of Quest and the announcement of Rift-S. Not to mention all the custom VR Software that they have in store for us. Coming out of my first-hand experience with PAX South, I anticipate a heft amount of hours spent in VR this year!...
- Oculus Quest will receive a VR gadget of the year award.
- Technical details of Rift-S will finally be revealed, and full 360 hand-tracking will be supported.
- Rift-S will be backwards compatible with the existing Rift CV1 Oculus sensors.
- Location-based Entertainment will finally gain mainstream attention, however, it will be Home-based VR titles that make it appealing (e.g. Beat Saber).
- Despite growing appeal, Location-based Entertainment businesses will continue to struggle financially.

1) The Quest will release after the Zuckerberg keynote at F8
2) F8 will also show a preview of the Rift S the same way they did with the Quest last year.
3) The Rift S will have a 140 degree FOV and built-in fixed foveated rendering done at the SDK level which means developers won't need to implement it themselves with whatever engine they're using. This will also mean that all Rift games currently released will also use the feature.
4) A full reveal of the Rift S will be done at OC6, price $399 and release date in November.
5) The Rift will get a price cut to $299.
6) I'm going to win over £100m on the Euromillions and will fund the release of Resident Evil 7.
7) I STILL won't have finished developing my game.
😎 @vannagirl will succeed in FINALLY running me over.
9) Respawn's new game will be a sci-fi shooter and will be a free launch title for the Rift S
10) Developers will get a free Quest if they're accepted into the Oculus Start programme.

My reasoning is that it's not going to have the Snapdragon and RAM inside that the Quest has. It might even have the exact same displays and lenses if it doesn't have a FOV increase. If they've got the price of the Quest down to $399 I can't see why the Rift S will be more expensive.
