I play Eleven ping pong religiously. As somebody that enjoys the whole first person military games and all....nothing compares to how much fun I have with those simple, casual-consumer games. I haven't personally tried beat saber yet. YET. but I am totally in that market of games. I love games like that.
Beatsaber is completely carried by the modded community, it’s always fresh with basically infinite replay ability thanks to custom mapping, competition, and various other things
That Foxus looks very similar to the Stereolabs Zed Mini, which was deisigned to work with the old Oculus CV1 (yeah, ZED Mini is like 5 years old). The ZED Mini works amazingly well, unfortunately its hardware has never been upgraded, so is only 720p per eye (and requires an nVidia GPU), but their specialty is software, it has full realtime depth occlusion at 60fps, 3D world scanning, and their software SDK is constantly getting better.
I've been a VR developer since the beginning and Audio Shield VR way back in 2016 was before Beat Saber as far as VR releases go. I remember a bunch of people at the office playing it on the VIVE. Basically the same game, but for some reason, Beat Saber just executed on the idea much better and that was the one that ended up exploding.
I don't own a quest, so I was so confused what the whole "Full RGB" thing was all about. Then you said that its currently in black and white. I'm shocked as I thought it was like how it was on my Index where you can see in color.
Colored passthrough would be amazing on the quest, it would add that next level of immersion to vr, and for not very much money, if you would only buy the cambria because of the colored passtrhough (i was thinking of doing so), now you don't have to, and you can save yourself hundreds.
@@triyo1089 The cambria is coming out in september of this year, but it is different from the quest, as it is more expensive and is meant to be a laptop for your face, it isn't supposed to replace the quest 2, so don't worry about already having to replace your quest.
@@JinstoNim ohhh dope i was gonna be sad 😂 super new to VR as i just got into it like sunday… havent even connected it to my pc yet bc im getting a new router today
i love beat saber, in my opinion it is one of the best and most developed games on the quest 2, when it first came out it was really bad looking and I've heard feeling as well.
Mysticle should have a hardware Testing channel exclusively for the new gear that is realeased . What should he call it ? Thinking ... don't know ... Any suggestions ?
When videos games came out...people said, " it'll rot your brain. Make you lazy and stupid." But being a gamer for 38years, i can tell you, games do so much more that that. People don't want to hear or think it's just bullshit to justify being a gamer, BUT, video games build intelligence, Problem Solving, Memory, Hand eye coordination, reflexes and critical thinking. Sure, beat saber doesn't do all that. No game does ALL OF THAT...but GAMES do. Beat saber, helps with memory. These people who get play on Expert++ , play those maps so much, they're memorized. Then there's hand eye coordination, that's a given with VR, but it's more than that, it's the insane reflexes needed to play at those speeds. Even on Hard the game can be challenging with some maps. People should really appreciate what playing video games can do for their brain. You're never too old to start either.
I don't know I don't like beat saber but that's also because I mostly play multiplayer games in general one of my biggest ones I play is after the fall
I'm 54yrs old and think Beat Saber is awesome!! Definitely need good headphones for the full experience. I refuse to play without my over the ear headphones.
I don't remember whose channel I heard it on that there was a guess of $800, but a supposed Meta insider said it would be significantly more expensive. So over $1,000 for sure, if the information is to be believed.
Man, ever since I heard of the inside out tracked controllers, I've wondered why there aren't inside out FBT projects, at least that are publicly announced. FBT with Quest 2 controller level tracking, without lighthouses? Non-lighthouse tracked trackers is a small space, and probably would be the way forward to getting FBT to a larger audience.
You’re feet would be invisible to the camera a lot of the time, same with your waist if you ever lean forward or up, slimevr is probably the closest to inside out fbt we’ll get.
@@deedoodeedoo6382 yes back in 2019 I was nearly 400lbs,but after changing what and how much I ate I lost 149lbs way before I purchased my Quest 2 March of 2021.
But guys there is no difference inside quest pro only diffrence is eye tracking resolution but still it has the same hardware as quest 2 well its not disappointing but im just saying means the quest store is the same as quest 2 everything is the same as quest 2
I hope someone takes inspiration from Cambria, and puts cameras on haptic gloves, and makes inside-out trackers. I think that would be a big step forward for standalone VR.
The hard part on that is it's a soft skin- instead of solid, it's squishy and can be moved. In theory, you might be able to triangulate a position in the middle of the hand, but you would need about 6 cams, one next to another for stereo vision, and then it's possible. It's possible on a solid controller, because you know where the cams are in relation to another. That's what's needed.
I played the beat Saber demo, and honestly I have no opposition to a simple game being carried by community features to such a popularity rate, because the devs deserve it, they made a game that everyone loved and give the devs the fame and love the deserve
It is literally the same with games like Minecraft, gta, and most others. You have to either wait for the modloader and core mods to update or downgrade and stick to a version. Nothing new here and it is entirely up to beat games (well meta allowing them) if they want to find a way to make mods more of an addon.
@@Ballissle yes but at least the games dont nag you into updating and if you do update you have to start from scratch thats what i hate about modding beatsaber on the quest if you accedently click repair then you have to start all over from scratch
I'd definitely watch a video of you testing out that colored passthrough. Just if you did, make sure it's not sponsored because I really do want a real opinion on it. it looks like it's a cool thing to own.
the colored ar seems like a good idea but wouldn't you need a way to force the headset to use the external cameras for pass-through for it to work outside of apps exclusively made for it
I absolutely LOVE Beat Saber. Only VR game I've been able to buy so far and I play it for 30 minutes to 2 hours almost every day for 2 months now. It doesn't get old for me and it's been doing wonders for my arms/shoulders/chest and my general weight loss and fitness goals. Also constantly competing with my friends to try to beat their high scores. Right now I can beat songs that have a speed of up to a little more than 5 blocks a second. Expert mostly and Expert+ a little is where I'm at after 2 months, I started on Normal. I have some coworkers convinced to get the Quest 2 because of Beat Saber alone.
I can't believe there are Beat Saber haters. It is THE way to push VR. Beat Saber with mods is still my favourite VR experience. An AR version of that would be incredible and take the world by storm.
I didn't like it much at all, but to hate it seems pretty insane. Out of all the games to hate in this world, rhythm games make absolutely no sense to hate. It's music and swords... Like... Even if I don't like the game, hard to hate the concept.
I am absolutely addicted to Beat Saber, and for so many reasons. Fitness is of course one of those. It’s exhilarating to be getting in physical activity in such a fun way. On top of that, the songs are incredibly catchy, and it’s truly just something else to be dancing and grooving and moving to the beat in such an immersive and stunning virtual environment. It feels insanely rewarding to play, even though the game doesn’t actually provide any rewards. I religiously played custom songs, but recently updated just to see the newer OST and block types. I’m still holding on for Beat Games to bring back modding for the most recent update. Because it kills me to have to sacrifice the awesome new features and aesthetic for the entertaining songs that aren’t put out as DLC. Though I suppose I would very easily stick to the newer versions if they added AJR songs as DLC and finally brought in the different sabers they teased so long ago. Seriously, when on earth is that coming?!?!
With the slow but growing amount of a vr accessories that need power or digital connection to your headset do you think we'll start to see more usb on headsets? Or perhaps one could make a power bank with multiple usb c ports to pass through data? Just kind jazzed by some of things coming out but at some point that one lonely usb c port just doesn't cut it.
Yeah I completely agree with this, the original quest had more plugs then the current one so devs would use those. I hope they make more plugs in the vr headsets soon
The only problem I have with Beat Saber is the music packs. They're great for getting a more mainstream audience but I just don't *care* (Maybe a grandson or State Champs pack would make me change my mind) also, you've never owned Beat Saber until you mod it! :)
I don't think the colored passthrough will work for normal usage because Oculus standard software won't recognize the cameras, so when double tapping, you see the default black and white cameras. There are almost no actual demos and info about how this product works. Sounds like a scam.
I don't usually share my opinion, but I must when it comes to Beat Saber. Whenever I show someone VR, Beat Saber is the go-to game I throw them in. Hell, just the other week I had a Taco Bell employee in the parking lot playing Beat Saber on his lunch break. Everyone leaving the drive-thru would stare at him, but it's the look of jealousy.
I use steam vr games only, the majority of Meta's VR content are romper room, elementary school crap, I haven't seen anything from that looks like it was made with adults in mind.
Beat saber is to VR what DDR was to arcades, what guitar hero was to consoles, and what taptap was for iphones. It is a fun, pleasing, and challenging game. But, yeah, it doesn't define the industry lol
I'm one of those people who bought a quest 2 simply to play beatsaber and only later loved everything VR has to offer. I've always loved rythm games and i used to play osu! before beatsaber. I love the game and it's still my go to game for when i just want to have some fun, drop a sweat and enjoy some music. Multiplayer lobby interactions are also very fun in my opinion as no words are said and it's just hand and head movement. Great fun!
They suggested Cambria would be a laptop replacement with a business focus. To me that means $1200-$1500. If that's the case then the one after that will likely be the next budget gamer.
There's like zero information on the Foxus site - their link to Sidequest is just a general link, no actual official page/app. Only 2 pictures of a 3D print... seems pretty sus
I guess all we can do is wait. Wait and see if there's an actual product, if there is, amazing, of there isn't. Hopefully someone else tries. In fact if you check out the link to the Reddit thread I've posted the pinned comment gives things to think about.
I'm a big rhythm gamer and Beatsaber was my one and only reason to get the Quest2. played the game once on some tech expo, loved it, and then bought a quest2 so that I can play it myself. I ended up discovering a whole lot of VR experiences because of it which makes buying the quest feels way more worth it. I believe games like beatsaber is what makes VR more mainstream
I think the word you were looking for was dystopian future also beat saber isn't just a rhythm game it's a game where you can chill maybe even challenge yourself
So my first VR experience came from a VR arcade. This is a moment that made me love VR me and my friends we played four separate games, One was winlance, second was Arizona Sunshine, third was Ricky's plank, and last but not least beat saber. Ever since I first played beat saber I fell in love with the game I'm a huge fan of rhythm games I used to play boom boom rocket for the Xbox 360 if anyone remembers that and I was also a huge fan of the rockband/guitar hero series. for me beat saber is the vr equivalent to those games (sort of). I also love that each song has there multiple difficulties for playing different parts of the song.
Beat Saber, for me, is a go to game if I am either feeling bored from Gorilla Tag, or something like Stride VR, so, to me, it is an awesome app. Like Mystical said, it is simple, but mods make it much better. Right now I don't have mods, though the constant new updates for new songs, and especially its new update for the Anniversary, its an amazing game, for most people.
BeatSaber alone sold the quest for me.The other games came after. And I have to say it, this game paid every cent and I think I would still buy the oculus if this ware the only game on it
I'd buy beat saber if it was 20,- and all the DLC was free. As it is now it's a HUGE rip off but it's also a period in history where people seem more than willing to be ripped off. Maybe they have too much money or a money tree or something. :D
The day I got my quest 2, on Christmas, I bought beatsaber, played it every day, bought half life alyx, boneworks, and super hot VR played all of em, beatsaber is still my favorite, especially with my custom songs/sabers/lights, the modding community is incredible for this one game alone, and I love it
Main reason invested in the oculus 2 wad due to beat saber. I enjoy the music and it challenges my overall tracking ability with each increasing level. I don't play vr every day. But, as of right now, my max is hard.
I love Beat Saber, it's been life changing for me. Allows me to exercise with low impact, improves my mood and elevates my confidence. I wish there were more artists at the moment, but I'm sure more will come.
Let this be a lesson.. If you see a spike in PCVR numbers, that's almost definitely not a real thing. Why would there be a spike? Last time there was a game worth getting into PCVR for was Alyx in 2020. I doubt there will be any kind of growth spurt for at least the next few years. Hardware is too expensive, PCs are too expensive.. And PSVR2 is coming out and will become the de facto headset for people who don't want the Quest. PCVR is undead. It's going to shamble around for a long while before it ever gets traction again, if it ever does. If cloud VR takes off and works decently, that's going to be the end of PCVR. IMO, VR tethered to a PC makes only marginally more sense than a cell phone tethered to a PC.
I’m new to VR . I’m also old but I’m hoping this will get me off the couch. Ive never played Saber. I’ve only watched videos on it. I think it’s popular because… 1- it’s a simple game that’s easy to learn 2- you quickly improve if you play it 3- it’s fun to play and it challenges you 4- it’s visually appealing 5- it’s affordable
For sportsball I would love to see NFL and MBA put out some kind of subscription app so we can watch games live and "in person" I wouldn't mind paying $20-$30 for a season pass for a selected team to watch live games "from the stand" or $100 for an all access pass. They have so many cameras on the field they could easily make a 3D model of the game that you could fly around and see every angle, rewind, slow mo, every play of the game.
Semi-competitive rhythm game player here (Sound Voltex for the most part). Beat saber is an amazing game and one of my favorite games on the Quest. Yes, it's simple, but so are literally all rhythm games in terms of technicality. They're mostly just buttons that you play in time with music. So what if it's not the most immersive or demanding game, but who cares. It's still extremely fun. Modding is the main reason the community is so big; it's the same as Clone Hero. Practically everything is fan made and people are easily able to make charts for their fave songs. It's also super simple so it's a great gateway into the broader world of VR. It's a fun, simple, low skill floor game that is based on one of the most popular things in the world, music. It has gotten so many people interested in VR, and you can't talk about the history of consumer/gaming VR without talking about that game. It's easily one of the most influential games in the VR community, and it's so popular because it deserves to be for everything it has done for the community.
Yo Mysticle there's probably a way to do pcvr with one computer on different wifis. Basically I'm trying to use hamachi vpn which allows you to connect to one computer. But the VR headset has to be a phone and can be anykind like android or iphone. Also i have not tried it on oculus quest 2 which you can probably find a way. Its kinda like cloud vr but for free. But I need to do a stress test on it on a different wifi. If anyone is willing give me a reply. It has to be a wifi not a hotspot. But if you want to try it Mysticle you can probably do a video on it! Message me if you need help.
Yes we need new rhythm game for VR. I like beat saber and buy quest 2 mainly for beat saber play it daily and like it alot but i think we need something like real rhythm game. Beat arena sucks and I don't have any suggestions. Probably the touch feedback isn't there like traditional rhythm game
I'm betting that the cambria will be more like 1000 euro maybe 1200 if exchange exchange rates I looked up were right. Somewhere in the ballpark of $1500 CAD.
I have never modded BeatSaber, but it has still remained one of if not my favorite games for VR ever since I first got my Quest 1 and now Quest 2. I really love music generally and it is right up my ally. However, I do not have access to certain aspects of VR like SteamVR due to lack of hardware, so my selection in regards to games is more limited than some others.
So beatsaber, wow. Its the first vr game I ever played, cause my cousin wanted to show me it. So i literally begged my parents to get one and then about a year later for my birthday, I got one. And so i got beatsaber, then, I found the other games. Looking at beatsaber compared to something like, Saints and Sinners, I can see why some people think its boring, but its one of those games you'll keep coming back too
Beatsaber is a great fun game to play. It is far from boring to me. I'm not really any good at it but that does not matter I have fun playing it. And it can provide a good workout while having fun. The color pass through on the Quest 2 will be great. Looking forward to that.
I feel like beat saber is the most popular of any VR game because it's one where you pretty much get the most presence. In other words, if you were really playing something like beat saber in real life, your body would be moving just about the same way it does while you're playing the VR game. It's a one to one correlation, and I can't wait until we have the tech to make every vr game that immersive
Man I remember when people complained that checkers was too simple and it ruined all board games. I mean just moving a plastic piece on cardboard. Amirite!? These checkers developers, pffffff
Like the Proverb goes "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication", Beat Saber isn't my type of game, but I can see why it's popular; It combines music and exercise two things that go hand in hand.
I play Eleven ping pong religiously. As somebody that enjoys the whole first person military games and all....nothing compares to how much fun I have with those simple, casual-consumer games. I haven't personally tried beat saber yet. YET.

I actually enjoy more coming back to online unmodded bs, but it's definitely true that the community has the major work on keeping the game relevant
I play. Zero mods. I do like new tracks that are mapped well. Keeps it fresh.
and it still gets official updates instead of the devs just resting on their laurels
Meta did earn $100 million from Beat Saber last year.
i modded for a while tbf. but honestly im having lots of fun without them too.
i’m so excited for cambria
Quest 2 is already at 850 for enterprises, so Cambria for enterprises is more likely to be around 1200 I think.
A spokesperson from Meta actually has made a statement that the Cambria is going to cost significantly more than $800.
Yes, finally someone else who remembers that! :)

You only have to downgrade because Beat Games keeps pushing larger updates that break it.

Whenever I show someone VR, Beat Saber is the go-to game I throw them in.
Hell, just the other week I had a Taco Bell employee in the parking lot playing Beat Saber on his lunch break. Everyone leaving the drive-thru would stare at him, but it's the look of jealousy.
I use steam vr games only, the majority of Meta's VR content are romper room, elementary school crap, I haven't seen anything from that looks like it was made with adults in mind.
I just had a dream that quest got colored ar
So dreams do come true
Beat saber is to VR what DDR was to arcades, what guitar hero was to consoles, and what taptap was for iphones. It is a fun, pleasing, and challenging game. But, yeah, it doesn't define the industry lol
Ya know what would be nice is if they could make the camera controllers backwards compatible with the quest 2... now that would be nice indeed.
Why not play beatsaber and anything else you want? Its not like you have to stick to one genre once you get into one.
I bet it (the Cambria), will be sold at 600 USD for a base model.
650$ or something around that priceline.
I think the word hes looking for is dystopian
Beat Saber is kind of VR’s Tetris… simple, instantly playable, addictive.
i've been playing beat saber at least a year before the quest 2 was even announced, and I still play it to this day
I'm one of those people who bought a quest 2 simply to play beatsaber and only later loved everything VR has to offer. I've always loved rythm games and i used to play osu! before beatsaber. I love the game and it's still my go to game for when i just want to have some fun, drop a sweat and enjoy some music. Multiplayer lobby interactions are also very fun in my opinion as no words are said and it's just hand and head movement. Great fun!
They suggested Cambria would be a laptop replacement with a business focus. To me that means $1200-$1500. If that's the case then the one after that will likely be the next budget gamer.
There's like zero information on the Foxus site - their link to Sidequest is just a general link, no actual official page/app. Only 2 pictures of a 3D print... seems pretty sus
I guess all we can do is wait. Wait and see if there's an actual product, if there is, amazing, of there isn't. Hopefully someone else tries. In fact if you check out the link to the Reddit thread I've posted the pinned comment gives things to think about.
I have the same argument for beat saber as I do minecraft
“it’s too simple, it shouldn’t be-“
*SHUT… block game fun!*
*BLOCK GAME FUN*
I'm a big rhythm gamer and Beatsaber was my one and only reason to get the Quest2. played the game once on some tech expo, loved it, and then bought a quest2 so that I can play it myself.
I ended up discovering a whole lot of VR experiences because of it which makes buying the quest feels way more worth it.
I believe games like beatsaber is what makes VR more mainstream
I think the word you were looking for was dystopian future also beat saber isn't just a rhythm game it's a game where you can chill maybe even challenge yourself
So my first VR experience came from a VR arcade. This is a moment that made me love VR me and my friends we played four separate games, One was winlance, second was Arizona Sunshine, third was Ricky's plank, and last but not least beat saber. Ever since I first played beat saber I fell in love with the game I'm a huge fan of rhythm games I used to play boom boom rocket for the Xbox 360 if anyone remembers that and I was also a huge fan of the rockband/guitar hero series. for me beat saber is the vr equivalent to those games (sort of). I also love that each song has there multiple difficulties for playing different parts of the song.
Beat Saber, for me, is a go to game if I am either feeling bored from Gorilla Tag, or something like Stride VR, so, to me, it is an awesome app. Like Mystical said, it is simple, but mods make it much better. Right now I don't have mods, though the constant new updates for new songs, and especially its new update for the Anniversary, its an amazing game, for most people.
BeatSaber alone sold the quest for me.The other games came after. And I have to say it, this game paid every cent and I think I would still buy the oculus if this ware the only game on it
Honestly same
I'd buy beat saber if it was 20,- and all the DLC was free.
As it is now it's a HUGE rip off but it's also a period in history where people seem more than willing to be ripped off.
Maybe they have too much money or a money tree or something. :D
The day I got my quest 2, on Christmas, I bought beatsaber, played it every day, bought half life alyx, boneworks, and super hot VR played all of em, beatsaber is still my favorite, especially with my custom songs/sabers/lights, the modding community is incredible for this one game alone, and I love it
Main reason invested in the oculus 2 wad due to beat saber. I enjoy the music and it challenges my overall tracking ability with each increasing level. I don't play vr every day. But, as of right now, my max is hard.
I love Beat Saber, it's been life changing for me. Allows me to exercise with low impact, improves my mood and elevates my confidence. I wish there were more artists at the moment, but I'm sure more will come.
I love beat saber so much but if they can fix the updates breaking mods and having to reinstall/update everything always... I would play it every day
What was that hand tracking fishing Game called?? 3:27
Beat saber is simple and not to intense a good recipe for success like guitar hero
Beat saber is the VR equivalent of minecraft. A simple blocky game that stole our hearts.
Eagerly awaiting the Jumanji game that eventually finds its way into our reality 🔥
Beat Saber itself is a complete honest reason to buy Quest 2, specially at this price point
those who say "it's so simple" have clearly never played modded beat saber
Let this be a lesson.. If you see a spike in PCVR numbers, that's almost definitely not a real thing. Why would there be a spike? Last time there was a game worth getting into PCVR for was Alyx in 2020. I doubt there will be any kind of growth spurt for at least the next few years. Hardware is too expensive, PCs are too expensive.. And PSVR2 is coming out and will become the de facto headset for people who don't want the Quest.
PCVR is undead. It's going to shamble around for a long while before it ever gets traction again, if it ever does. If cloud VR takes off and works decently, that's going to be the end of PCVR.
IMO, VR tethered to a PC makes only marginally more sense than a cell phone tethered to a PC.
I’m new to VR . I’m also old but I’m hoping this will get me off the couch. Ive never played Saber. I’ve only watched videos on it. I think it’s popular because…
1- it’s a simple game that’s easy to learn
2- you quickly improve if you play it
3- it’s fun to play and it challenges you
4- it’s visually appealing
5- it’s affordable
I'm thinking the cambria is gonna be around $500 to $600
For sportsball I would love to see NFL and MBA put out some kind of subscription app so we can watch games live and "in person" I wouldn't mind paying $20-$30 for a season pass for a selected team to watch live games "from the stand" or $100 for an all access pass. They have so many cameras on the field they could easily make a 3D model of the game that you could fly around and see every angle, rewind, slow mo, every play of the game.
Semi-competitive rhythm game player here (Sound Voltex for the most part). Beat saber is an amazing game and one of my favorite games on the Quest. Yes, it's simple, but so are literally all rhythm games in terms of technicality. They're mostly just buttons that you play in time with music. So what if it's not the most immersive or demanding game, but who cares. It's still extremely fun. Modding is the main reason the community is so big; it's the same as Clone Hero. Practically everything is fan made and people are easily able to make charts for their fave songs. It's also super simple so it's a great gateway into the broader world of VR. It's a fun, simple, low skill floor game that is based on one of the most popular things in the world, music. It has gotten so many people interested in VR, and you can't talk about the history of consumer/gaming VR without talking about that game. It's easily one of the most influential games in the VR community, and it's so popular because it deserves to be for everything it has done for the community.
the only thing i dont understand about cambria is the full body tracking. if the controllers track the headset, how does the headset track the body?
Yo Mysticle there's probably a way to do pcvr with one computer on different wifis. Basically I'm trying to use hamachi vpn which allows you to connect to one computer. But the VR headset has to be a phone and can be anykind like android or iphone. Also i have not tried it on oculus quest 2 which you can probably find a way. Its kinda like cloud vr but for free. But I need to do a stress test on it on a different wifi. If anyone is willing give me a reply. It has to be a wifi not a hotspot. But if you want to try it Mysticle you can probably do a video on it! Message me if you need help.
Yes we need new rhythm game for VR. I like beat saber and buy quest 2 mainly for beat saber play it daily and like it alot but i think we need something like real rhythm game. Beat arena sucks and I don't have any suggestions. Probably the touch feedback isn't there like traditional rhythm game
Major deal breaker for the colored pass though. It uses the USB port. Can't use external battery. Decreasing VR time
I'm betting that the cambria will be more like 1000 euro maybe 1200 if exchange exchange rates I looked up were right. Somewhere in the ballpark of $1500 CAD.
I have never modded BeatSaber, but it has still remained one of if not my favorite games for VR ever since I first got my Quest 1 and now Quest 2. I really love music generally and it is right up my ally. However, I do not have access to certain aspects of VR like SteamVR due to lack of hardware, so my selection in regards to games is more limited than some others.
So beatsaber, wow. Its the first vr game I ever played, cause my cousin wanted to show me it. So i literally begged my parents to get one and then about a year later for my birthday, I got one. And so i got beatsaber, then, I found the other games. Looking at beatsaber compared to something like, Saints and Sinners, I can see why some people think its boring, but its one of those games you'll keep coming back too
Beatsaber is a great fun game to play. It is far from boring to me. I'm not really any good at it but that does not matter I have fun playing it. And it can provide a good workout while having fun.
The color pass through on the Quest 2 will be great. Looking forward to that.
I feel like beat saber is the most popular of any VR game because it's one where you pretty much get the most presence. In other words, if you were really playing something like beat saber in real life, your body would be moving just about the same way it does while you're playing the VR game. It's a one to one correlation, and I can't wait until we have the tech to make every vr game that immersive
Man I remember when people complained that checkers was too simple and it ruined all board games. I mean just moving a plastic piece on cardboard. Amirite!? These checkers developers, pffffff
Like the Proverb goes "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication", Beat Saber isn't my type of game, but I can see why it's popular; It combines music and exercise two things that go hand in hand.
