While the pricey Apple Vision Pro was just released, last fall saw the release of the Quest 3. The Quest 3 is around 6x cheaper, and more importantly for this site and article, is far more focused on entertainment than business\/work. I jumped on the VR bandwagon with the first PlayStation (PSVR) but sat out the next generation (PSVR2 and Quest 2) but with the release of the Quest 3 I thought I\u2019d test the waters again. The primary reason was to be able to play multiplayer games with friends that also owned Quest headsets. After a few months of play, it seems like a good time to share my thoughts on the system in general and some of the newest games. Today, we\u2019ll look at the headset and mention a few games. In the coming weeks we\u2019ll evaluate some of the games in more detail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">First, let&#8217;s talk about the entire Quest line. Starting with \u201c2\u201d, the Quest series of headsets introduced an all-in-one approach. Games and other apps are run onboard the headset, so no wires are needed to connect to a PC. This is a big deal. Additionally, neither Quest headset needs additional cameras to be set up. The freedom to play anywhere in the house is huge. Moving to a new location is as simple as letting the headset figure out the floor and drawing out an outline to tell the headset the location of any blocking objects. The Quest 3 even eliminates the need to draw out a floor &#8211; it will figure out blocking objects automatically. Both Quests can also connect to a PC as sort of a VR monitor, where the PC does the computations and the headset is the display. This allows gamers to play any VR games they already own on their computer (via Steam or what have you.) Recently, Meta made significant upgrades to the software so now the headsets can reliably connect wirelessly to a computer. It is most reliable if the computer and headset are not both using wifi bandwidth, so it is recommended to have the PC directly connected to the network.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While both Quest models currently run all the same games, there are still a few differences. One would hope any changes are all for the better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">First, the Quest 3 is a faster computer, capable of running fancier graphics at higher frame rates. Many games do not yet take advantage of this, but a few do switch to fancier graphics when run on a Quest 3. Going forward there may be titles that only run on a Quest 3, but with the large installed base of Quest 2\u2019s I would hazard a guess that they will be rare.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Second, the most obvious change is to the external cameras. The Quest 2 can display a grainy, black and white image of one\u2019s surroundings while wearing the headset, but the new Quest 3 has a much improved colored display. When paired with the faster processor, the Quest 3 can run mixed-reality games where the game played on the headset displays, and uses, a player\u2019s surroundings as part of the game. The excellent demo included with the headset has little furballs banging on the walls of the room, eventually breaking through and one must shoot them to collect them in the time allotted.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The external cameras are also put to use to track a player\u2019s hands. When a player isn\u2019t holding controllers, the headset can interpret gestures (like pointing or pinching one\u2019s fingers) as commands. One of the nicest features is the ability to \u201cgrab\u201d a display, move it around, and poke at buttons on it with your fingers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Finally, the new headset is smaller and lighter due to a different style of lens on the eyepiece. These lenses are thinner and thus the headset overall is lighter. I think the Quest 3 is supposed to have a longer lasting battery, but I have not found that to be the case. The Quest 3 can sometimes be a bigger power hog and so I\u2019ve found its battery power to last a comparable amount of time to a Quest 2, perhaps a bit less.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The big disadvantage of the Quest 3 is simply price. Currently, Quest 2\u2019s are on sale around $250 for the cheapest model. The least expensive Quest 3 is around twice that (although it does have more storage.) That\u2019s a big difference. The Quest 2 was so inexpensive that we purchased some for our boys to use so that we can all play in the virtual worlds together.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As mentioned, the Quest 3 can run the entire library of the Quest 2 so there\u2019s quite a few titles for a new owner to investigate. I thought I\u2019d list some of the classics here, in an effort to help any other new-to-VR folks out there. You have probably heard of at least some of these in passing, and I\u2019ll try to return to this list in the future for more detailed coverage. (NOTE: I\u2019m putting a \u201clink code\u201d after each of these games. If you get one using the code, it will get you a 25% discount if it\u2019s not already on sale. I\u2019ll then also get a $5 kickback or some such thing\u2026 use it if helps you, otherwise ignore the codes\u2026)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-24355\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/beat-saber-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/beat-saber-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/beat-saber-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/beat-saber-150x84.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/beat-saber-768x432.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/beat-saber-1536x864.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/beat-saber.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Beat Saber<\/strong> &#8211; If you know of any VR game in the past 6 or 7 years, you\u2019ve heard of Beat Saber. Armed with two glowing sword blades, you must slash through oncoming blocks to the beat of the (often techno or hard rock) music. There are various levels for each song ranging from simplistic for even a beginner to expert+ which requires even good players to try out in practice mode first. Its popularity is well deserved, as the VR experience paired with music and slashing can really help one \u201cget into\u201d the game.

Rails require a player to keep their hands on the rail while the rail journeys up,down, and over. Because of the need to put one\u2019s hands in a location and move them smoothly around to the music, I think Synth Riders feels much more like a dance than Beat Saber. Another nice feature is the ability to download song\/level challenges that other players have made using a freely available tool.

You can stand around and chat with each other (your avatar \u201chead\u201d is displayed as well as your hands, with the mouth voice-activated so it looks like your friends are talking and gesturing) as you play through courses. There are several included in the game but dozens more you can purchase, with more recent ones becoming more elaborate. (There\u2019s one set in a supervillain lair, another in the Labyrinth movie, and one crazy bonkers one that reminded me of a day-of-the-dead style color scheme combined with crazy ball effects.) I highly recommend the game for casual multiplayer hangouts.

There\u2019s not a lot of depth here but what is there is well executed. Great with friends (only up to 3 players total, though) for some casual cooperative fighting. While players gain \u201clevels\u201d actual improvement revolves around finding better gear in chests scattered through the dungeons. I believe the point is that higher level players can find higher level items.

Here, players loom over a small dungeon and reach down to move their little character around as they explore and fight using cards and dice rolls.

If you reach into the little lighthouse a (your) giant hand reaches into the lighthouse in which you\u2019re standing.

As more mixed-reality games come out, the difference between the two headsets will continue to grow.\u00a0 However, the Quest 2 gives almost the same experience but at almost half the cost. For a family of several people, buying 2 Quest 2\u2019s and playing together might be the better choice. Virtual Reality isn\u2019t for everyone but for those who\u2019ve been waiting to give it a try, it\u2019s a great time to try it out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><b>Kid Factor:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Every game varies in intensity, nearly all games on this list are pretty kid-friendly. The main issue is screen time and the use of the goggles. They are adjustable but there are limits to how small they go and I\u2019d be a bit uncomfortable going too young for any long period of time. Late elementary at least but still with limits. Remember that the sound is built in to the headset so a parent would need to keep their ear out for the volume setting to make sure it doesn\u2019t get too high.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world of VR (virtual reality) headsets continues to evolve.
