Hi thrill.
Also that's hilarious and awesome you got sponsored. Some sponsor segments from other creators regarding manscaped are hilarious. I haven't watched the video yet though but I will have in about 9 minutes.
Would be cool to be able to check out the titanic wreckage in Vr & see the the wreckage & crew of titan floating around 😅😮😢 RIp explorers
it shows ur not streaming :(
Yo thanks I just picked up some BALL DEODORANT for my nasties 🎉
Thank you kindly for having non-adsense at/near the very front/back/both of video, rather than interrupting like TV once the flow has set in. It suggests mutual consideration for the creator/viewership relationship :>
Every single time I watch Thursday Newsday I half expect Thrill to say "Thursday Nursday"
omg he needs to start doing this 💀
This needs to happen now
I will sign this petition
I'm still waiting for midweek news-peek. That gives you three days to release on.
@@JathanHI gotta steal this if I ever do content lol
Yeah Microsoft's stance on VR is just insane... the Flight Sim community had to fight to get them to include VR in their last MSFS installment. They are SO blind. One of the features of the game is "bush trips" where you navigate a path using word directions. I ONLY play that mode in VR, because it's immersive and it's all super doable for me.
Even with VR included you need to be pretty savvy to get it to run well. I'm on a 4070 and I have to do mad science to get solid FPS in any kind of populated areas while my GPU sits with a big chunk unused. May be time to upgrade the 5600X just to buy myself a bit more CPU headroom honestly.
Daily reminder that Microsoft pushed for ads in the OS itself. Windows 11 is downhill in quality compared to 10, which is itself inferior to the older 7 and XP when modernized with current technologies to level the playing field.
How is it insane? VR isn't popular, they'd rather focus their resources elsewhere
@@franciscofarias6385 the Xbox and Quest 2 have sold basically the same number of units.
@@Thezuule1 Xbox, more than likely sells MUCH more software pre unit VS the quest. So the total profit is better then on quest.
on the topic of Xbox and VR, the Xbox using a windows kernel means that it would take very little from microosft to AT LEAST support windows mixed reality headsets, I mean the drivers are already there, its just a matter of actually letting the kernel detect the headset and apply the needed drivers
WMR is completely dead, there's no more updates for it so that's not happening. Also WMR was a terrible software anyway if you preferred using SteamVR. Maybe if they make their own directory that's able to connect WMR headsets to the console that would be fine but dear lord, actual WMR can fuck off. Seriously.
Yeh i dont know why they dont do that,they could get steamvr to work and have access to steams library
I think it really is just up to us, to make them understand what potential they have with VR.
Just can not imagine how good Forza would be on PC, sitting in the drivers seat in VR....
I would love to have a fresh vr ip from a large company like that, or even a halo vr game, I just want a high quality vr game with polish and shine, a lot of vr games have quite a bit of jankiness to them because it’s a new medium, but I believe that a large company like Microsoft could offer great competition or collaboration to meta and greatly improve the market
@@SubjektDelta dirt rally 2.0 is the best racing game for vr
The Tea for God gameplay makes me feel so nostalgic for the early VR era.
That dynamic resolution is a big play for backwards compatibility on the quest 3.
Makes sense. The Quest 3 isn't going to benefit from COVID sales, and along with it's price-tag, it's looking at a much smaller adoption rate. Developers can't afford to release Quest 3 exclusive titles (unless Meta pays for the development).
Very glad to see you accepting sponsorships. It's very clear you put a ton of work into these videos and it means so much to have a good way to stay up to date on the industry. I haven't been in a place recently to support you on Patreon, so it's good to see you have a way to help support the hard work you're doing! :)
I was gonna say the same thing. Thrill deserves to make some skrill!
It’s actually pretty cringe to shill for manscaped or any of the other bullshit companies people advertise on here… he’s in a position to have proper industry related sponsors or branded merchandise. To each their own but I don’t care for ad reads for off topic scam or gimmick companies
@@konohiton the other hand, I would really rather like Thrill to stay in sponsorships with companies outside the VR industry that we are free to discuss here. Ad for Manscape is not going to cause any harm, because everyone does that and we already know it's just a brand with a lot of money for marketing, but we dont really have to buy their stuff. Imagine that brands contact Thrill to make him make a sponsored video on headset accesory or vr headset or vr game or anything vr related. Most of the people wouldnt get that Thrill got paid to say that everything about the product is perfect, many people would believe him, because we trust him that he knows what he talks about.
Yeah
the news days are always the best
I love the tueseday( wednesday) newsday episodes as well as the virtually odd series and I'm always looking forward to every single video thrill posts.
I too also love Tuesday (Thursday) Newsday
Very interesting news this time around, I hope we'll get something on the XR elite soon! Love the vids as always!
New Thrillseeker is always great
You know
He overrated asf bought by big vr companies
I remember that one short-lived rumor about the “Xbox Moda” because it was listed on the page where you sign up for the among us VR beta.
oneshot lived rumor
i mean hey maybe it was a project that was cancelled due to meta’s failure
God damn Thrill. Every time you drop a vid it really inspires me to reach for the stars and work towards the future as well.
Great TN as usual! Always love being able to rely on your channel to get up-to-date VR info.
I miss hearing a QotW answered every week though. :( It's been a while since I've heard one answered.
For the first time I'm looking forward to an update. 55 looks promising and interesting. I'm already pleased with the ability to control many things with just my fingers... improved is always welcome.
Yeah
Always look forward to your outlooks, and your voice is awesome. (Grabs popcorn. Hits play). QUESTION : is the zuck elon meeting a prelude to a business collab?
POV: people saying good video even though the video hasn't even been out for 5 minutes
Great content!
vids pretty g
@@ThrillSeekerVR it really is!
That origami floor tech, if that can be durabilised and built into a slide mill shoe for something like the virtuix omni or katwalk mini, that could really increase the immersion of walking around in VR.
Cant wait for this Quest 2 update!!
Great video with amazing info!
Yo thrill I love your vids have a great day ❤
LEST GOOOOO! i needed a newsday today lol :)
yessir been needin this!
When Thrill said 'but first', I was convinced we were getting an early meme break... 😅
Spoilers
honestly it wasnt far off from one lmao
@@TheVirtualRealityShow Haha, indeed... though it'd have to be Raid Shadow Legends for full meme points. 🤣
Been waitin’ for dis’. Tis good
Just found your videos and your passion for vr made me finally cave in and buy a quest 2 for $150
When will laying down mode come out of the public testing? I really want to use it!
ALWAYS AMAZING VIDEOS!!!!!!!
Recently I've read that while Quests are sold, sure, most of the people who bought them don't use them regularly, therefore they are less likely to spend money on games/season passes/microtransactions and therefore the revenue is way smaller than on a regular concole
yeah I bought a quest 2 but mainly use it for PCVR (and rarely use it for that lately) bought a handful of stand alone games when I first got it but that's about it. with no profit margin on the headset that's not really a sustainable business model...
if more quality games start get to the vr or maked vr probably get more used since potential is there waiting.
example half life:alyx if they refuse potential probably losed.
this is really onto the us consumers ı hope more game daves get to the vr and create fun and quality games.
and with upcoming quest 3 even more things can be happen by the way one day ı want buy a vr headset too
I'm hopeful apple's push on the vision as an enterprise device will pave hte way for more consumer level devices to enter the field. I also hope I can eventually get room for my device again, I miss VR T-T
good stuff as usual, would you consider covering some upcoming and new VR titles/updates to existing ones? there's a "final cut" version of a VR samurai game called "Arashi: Castles of Sin" releasing for example. I'm curious about your thoughts.
I love these videos you make there interesting to me
Great Video!
Listening to this while editing a video, thanks for the news 😊
Great news. Thanks
I’ve been saying this about Xbox for a bit now, and they could make so so much money re-releasing games they own the IP for as VR versions, like Forza or Halo and people would go nuts for it.
Exactly, and they kind of have some experience (Skyrim and Fallout 4 VR)
In the long run, this will never work
New Thrill Seeker vid just dropped lets goooo.
Hi love the videos❤❤
gotta love your videos
Yo what’s up big boy, nice that there is another video
16 sec btw
Wdnc😭
As long as my quest 2 keeps running assetto corsa via pcvr , I'll be happy ❤
I managed to put together a used sim rig for around $300 and it's mind blowing how well it can help you prep for a track day, or just...have a blast!
You should really check it out!
What is a assetto corsa
@@thedoomslayer5863 only the best racing game ever XD
it's pretty old by now (2015 IIRC) but modders have updated and expanded on it for years now, name pretty much any car or track and you can drive it.
V55 will help out a lot with Tabor. There has been a lot of frame issues.
red matter is gonna look more mind blowing than it already is on quest with this boost
yoo that's wierd because i had a spherical haptic controller design, but that compliant mechanism actuator is siiiiiiiiick bro, that's impressive.
the best part of this video is the fact that Xbox's game studio head is called Matt Booty
Considering I got the quest on v12, it's crazy how much performance they have gotten out of it
5:13 as someone with 2 minor lazy eyes, the vr headset is very similar to the way glasses sit on ur face to train ur eyes not to drift off. I can say i can focus on objects faster without double vision just few months in the headset.
I am planning to get into standalone VR gaming, should I get the Quest 2 and get quality of experience addons (Which?) or save a bit extra and wait for Quest 3.
Along with Virtual Desktop wireless update and this update, makes a big boost in performance for PCVR users.
I got the update on Quest 2 and I have to say that it was noticeably a little smoother when I played some Beat Saber
my only complaint is WHERE IS MY BED. The VR couch disappeared and I can't find guardian/boundary setting to put it back. Do I have to do the experimental and kinda buggy room setup feature just so I can chill on my bed while in VR?
I wonder how much more life the batteries have on some of the first release units of the Quest 2. Virtual desktop has had the option to be able to overclock the CPU for quite a while now, and boy does it chew through the battery.
Great video, would my bobo m2 pro and kiwi controller grips be compatible with the quest 3?
woot woot new thrill vid baybee
You make great points about Xbox and VR at the end.
this would be sick
Hey! my Quest 2 has been feeling its years for the past months. Should I look into PCVR if I got a PC or should I just upgrade to another standalone headset?
I would pay more than full price for a Starfield VR port, will be big sad if that never happens
I'm sure starfield vr will exist, even if the modders have to make it themselves, you might have to wait 11 years for it though
@@camronthackeray9654 nah, not 11 years. I'll say 1 year 2 max. There are a LARGE number of discord that are purely focused on making older games VR compatible. Do some searching and you'll be surprised what's supported. It's often janky but anyone willing to dig into it is used to VR jank.
Uh Skyrim & Fallout have official VR releases... One of the very few flatscreen games to get that. It's not a question of 'if' but 'when', it could be years after release.
Don't worry it's Bethesda there will be even a smartfridge edition of a game.
The VR mode will be an insultingly shit separate full price release that modders will eventually make almost acceptable but not really.
I'm getting an oculus 2 for my birthday coming up in like a week and I'm actually happy that im gonna see vr when it just had a update
Cant wait for the quest 3. Once I started using VR. I gave up on gaming consoles. And got a PC can mod my games anyway I want as long as there is EAC. I was holding out for the xbox series x to get VR but it never happened
I think today's meme break was the best one lol
I'd be interested to see what developers could do with Quest 2 with the performance increase, dynamic resolution and frame interpolation.
Hey, I want to get into more in depth PC VR with a budget of around 500-600 dollars. I currently have a Quest 2 but setting it up with my pc isn't ideal and I'm wondering if I should wait for the Quest 3 or if there is a dedicated PC VR worth checking out. Thanks!
Quest 2 + VD + PC is kinda best option right now. Its true wireless, high resolution, high quality. Slime VR if you into wireless FBT. I dont think Quest 3 will change this.
Maybe invest into better PC if that's the case?
I just bought an index kit since i can re-use the controllers/base stations, and the HMD can tide me over until the Bigscreen beyond comes out. However that may be beyond your budget, you may want to consider a G2V2, especially if you are doing flight sims, the audio is excellent since it uses the index speakers.
What are your thoughts on pass through app’s possibly becoming more mainstream for farming and productivity onexe the quest 3 releases (QOTW)
How do you have the update on your quest? it shows no updates available atm for me :/
I like how at the start of the video it said tuesday newsday but then it said thursday newsday
Question; should i wait to buy an quest3 or shouldi now get a 3??? bc i rly rly wanna get vr, but it needs to be the cheapest
Hear me out, a mesh of the origami haptic feedback. You're engulfed in it, allowing you to feel pretty much anything
Thanks for the video. I hope Meta will follow Apple and keep improving the simplicity and efficiency fo its UIs, making VR as natural as possible. The added power may help.
I’m still not sure if the quest 3 will be worth it. But in a couple years the quest 2 might lose support like the quest 1. So I guess it is worth it 🤷♂️
In a couple of years quest 4 might appear , so you can keep your 2 if you want to! Quest 1 was highly underpowered.. hopefully it doesn't happen as soon with the quest 2
@@FXV56yeah. Can wait to see what the quest 4 brings! :)
@@lemonjuice404 maybe then we'll have eye tracking and maybe even better AR , and a XR2 gen 3? standalone will get wild
It's worth it for the lenses alone.
@Thezuule1 apparently it's much clearer to the point that text isn't blurry, if so it's so worth $499
Got here fast Thrill 😂
@thillseeker could you help me with something, new to pcvr had a quest 2 for almost 2 years when I connect with cable link after about 5 min of playing the screen freezes inside the quest 2 not on the pc, pc specs are intel 13700k, 4070ti, 32GB ddr5 5600mhz running on windows 11 pro
i seriously hope with a resolution bump, that the fov for the quest 3 is increased.
The thing is that the Series S&X haven't even got halfway through their lifetime while the quest 2 is nearly done.
The ball is like the chair in ready player one
Does it fix the white band bug, I haven't used my Q2 and bought a Pico4 after getting that bug a second time and not finding a way to fix it !
How can I force V55?? I need those 12 extra frames to run my bonelab mods 😊
I just wanna know if the screen door effect is gone yet....?
Is there any way to set it up to where you answer a message/call from messanger in game?
The gen 2 of vision pro will be much better if previous apple trends hold up
I am looking forward to your in depth review of the Apple VR headset.
Quest 2 + Quest Pro sales = Close to 20 million sold
From those, active devices reaching 1.5 million, Meta Claims a user base of 6.37 million active users in October 2022.
PSVR numbers are a fraction of those, since the prohibitive pricing.
At this moment (meaning right now), VR in general has about 6k active users in the US across many games, being the top dogs:
1- Beatsaber
2- Blade&Sorcery
3- Gorilla Tag
4- Pavlov
5- HL: Alyx
Meanwhile, right now in the US Xbox console has 1.2 million active users, playing:
1- Fortnite
2- COD
3- GTA
4- Minecraft
Without any games that can draw attention to VR, it will always have low numbers, therefore Xbox and Microsoft evaluated and it`s not very effective to develop APKs, Hardware, and games for a platform that is barely 0.5% of their current active user base, Quest 2 can sell millions, the issue is that not a lot of people are playing constantly, and barely any AAA releases for VR, still entirely dominated by Indie devs, it`s too much of an investment seeing that Xbox already offers Gamepass.
It does have potential, but VR always seems to run out of fuel somewhere, somehow, I said it before and I`ll continue saying it, we need more AA and AAA VR games to take-off and establish the platform.
huh funny nobody is responding to this comment but they are responding to other people explaining it poorly especially compared to this
debating between buying a varjo aero and a quest 3 for my new pcvr system.
I have a reverb g2v2 with index controllers and base stations already and a quest 1 that i love.
I want a better headset for my rig eventually, just wondering which ones you guys would buy..
im thinking about getting the quest 3 during a price drop way in the future. but thats just me.
i just built a new PC just for VR, 4090 and all, i bought an index kit because i am going to be able to re-use the base-stations/controllers for when the bigscreen beyond comes out, which is my real goal. i considered a pico, but i found out it uses compression (no matter how you connect it), and it also has a very slight delay (even with wired), compared to a proper DP connection, I imagine Q3 has the same issue since you cannot connect it using DP. Honestly, if i were you, i would stick with the G2 until the beyond comes out, and replace it with that.
@@pliatsomeone's rich lol
@@thedoomslayer5863 not really, I just don’t have anything to spend my money on other than my accordions and my setup, i don’t even have a car (although, money isn’t the reason for that).
should i buy the pico 4 or wait for the quest 3 to release?
They have to add the modified room scale like in index
Hmm... Just curious, do we have any infos if the Quest 3 will be compatible with the Quest 2 controllers ? (I just recently got a few new ones for Q2, and it's kinda expensive to get it in certain countries... tho Meta didn't reply to this question yet...)
I felt this video was too short. Its only 13 mins and i was hoping for more. Pls do more.
might as well call it weekday newsday at this point
Wow, I'm here before the discord announcement went out!
I noticed my battery doesn't due quick now. Last update basically killed my headset since 1 hour or so of play and boom it's dead.
This I went on for an hour and hardly touched my battery
I also saw the resolution change in bonelabs. Lowered the graphics to stabilise it when I spawned in tons of stuff
Hi. What game you are showing in background? Asking for that game with guns walking corridors and shooting weird robots.
i think apple might be surprised just how much demand there will be for the vision pro
Quick question would you ? Or anyone recommend using the Quest Pro Controllers with this headset
so did V55 come out already or is it coming soon? because I just got V54 yesterday.
Something to start the conversation
I want to mention something about your xbox comment (11:21), it makes sense as the problem doesn't stand on the units sold, but on the players who actually buy games there.
out of all the people who bought the quest 2, they mostly bought a maximum of 10 games on the platform, as on xbox, a console player will usually buy more. idk if it makes sense but here is not about the peripheral itself but more about what happens after
in MY opinion tho, I think VR and consoles should mix together in a different way. the great part about the quest 2 is that you can go full PCVR and basically, when you will have a better hardware on your pc, the headset will 'evolve together with it', as for consoles, if you bought the PSVR for ps4, you could use it only for that console and the end. it dies there. what I think is that there mush be a way to make those headsets more compatible with their console ecosystem or sell them as totally separate stand alone consoles fully optimized for VR and that's it
I have never manually updated to the newest firmware .. I don’t even get notifications… it just happens and the headset restart .. does anyone know how these firmware come about ?
Here's a question...
I wanna upgrade my PCVR setup, and I currently have a Quest 2. I'd love something like a Valve Index but it'll be a bit before I have the money for that. Do you think the Quest 3 would be a good choice here?
i don't think the quest 3 is a big enough upgrade from the quest 2, at least not for PCVR.
Why would you buy an Index at this stage of the game?
I think you should save your money for an index
as a person who has used quest 2 for pc vr, considering that the quest 3 has the usb c port on the hinge (which means the wires wont bend out of shape) and that the headset is lighter with optional replaceable headstrap, pancake lenses, and overall (theoretically) more comfortable. In my opinion yea.
BUT PLEASE TAKE THIS OPINION WITH A GRAIN OF SALT (I could be very wrong with comfort), AND ALSO WAIT FOR REVIEWS
Only if the quest 3 solves the God awful compression problem the quest 2 has on pc.
Respect, he has played tea for god!
W gamer
ngl every time i see a manscaped ad i get dysphoric
Absolutely love "Tea for God" the game you used for b-roll. Was one of the first few VR games I ever played and it's still up there as one of the more unique uses of irl locomotion in a VR game. I feel worn out playing that in a way I don't get with the likes of Boneworks or B&S.
the first ones in a genre or even a type of gaming (flatscreen vs vr), are the lifechanging ones.
