The Ray-Bans to watch TV/movies without a headsest on would be worth the price tag. I love VR games, but watching a movie in the bath tub with some shades on sounds so cyberpunk
Yeah I enjoy it with the quest. Glasses would be awesome.. especially for traveling and whatnot...I used to dream of this shit as a kid (virtual reality) and we're here now.. very cool
Companies like Xreal and Viture have these already but I believe we are a couple years off still until meta brings this.... the glasses coming this year feom meta will likely just be a notification screen that is tiny like the Halliday smart glaases.... still very cool. ❤
I'm coming up my anniversary of buying my Q3 and entering the VR world. Finally got around to finding a shooter I like and have been obsessing over Contractors Showdown Exfil Zone extraction shooter. Loving it so much I got it on standalone and PCVR.
I can't wait for Q4, which will be landing in just a year and around 8 months if it does in fact land in October 2026. Slimmer Than Q3, smaller, hopefully lighter(To the point where they can ditch that aesthetic killing tacky top middle strap which is currently needed to prevent the Q3 from slightly wobbling when it's on your head), 2x the power of Q3, Eye Tracking & FR, Dual LCD display with Full Array Local Dimming for deep inky blacks & richer vibrant colours(Micro-OLED will still be too expensive unfortunately), higher Res & FOV, Pancake+ Lenses for an even wider sweet spot so there's zero need to fiddle with the visor etc. Meta still needs to kill those friction points > Head set weight, The top middle strap, and as great as pancake lenses are as far as offering a wide sweet spot, they need to advanced the lenses further so you can just pop on the Q4 and it looks clear without adjustaments aside from the IPD dial. Topped with a slimmer smaller design, it's just going to to make it more alluring and aesthetically pleasing for people that are still on the fence with VR/MR.
I am very content with KiWi products. I outfitted my Quest 3 with KiWi one year ago. Glad I did. Thanks to KiWi for sponsoring your content. It’s a win-win!
I have some AR glasses which are really just glasses with TV screens in them and I LOVE them. I don't use them every day but they are fantastic for watching shows in bed and for playing my Steam deck on airplanes etc. I just wish the displays in them were a little bit larger. If Meta can release a great product with larger displays that can easily hook up to anything with a USBC video out port then I will definitely buy them.
Two devices are very interesting to me: the Xreal One Pro and Samsung's headset with Android XR. I can imagine that a device with Android XR is what we have been waiting for, knowingly or not.
Great to hear this directly from you for the first time! ;-) It's crucial for every Quest fanboy to understand: Meta has never been primarily focused on VR gaming. Their true priority lies in shaping the future of social data. Games are merely a means to an end-a strategy to attract users to VR, as they currently lack more compelling content. If Meta identifies a better way to achieve their goals-whether through social VR, AR lifestyles, or VR-based work environments-they will inevitably shift their focus in that direction. Mobile VR gaming only exists because of Meta and their billions. Without their investment, it likely wouldn’t have existed at all-and it would quickly fade away without their continued support.
@patfish3291 depends on the video. The weekly news generally isn't the place for this and it's discussed more in my talking head videos or my live streams
I just played the demo for Into Black a few days ago. It's so awesome! I can't wait for it to go on a sale next, so I can pick it up. Very neat game. I also just picked up Split-Second. It's a little buggy, but very fun game. It's like Ready Or Not in VR. Loving my new Quest 3. What a massive jump from the Quest 2. The Pancake lenses and 4K resolution are insane! Can't wait to test out my old PCVR games from yesteryear haha.
Just bought split second as well, for a one man indie dev team it's pretty wild. I'm hoping he keeps up with the updates and adding multiplayer at some point.
I would like to make a suggestion for a video , i really liked Assassins creed and medal of honor not just because of the games but because its a time travel experience to realistic locations, i have been searching for more experiences like that, but its hard to find something that offers that time travel experience, its hard to find something that is not sci-fi medievel fantasy games or zombie shooters
To be fair, Resident Evil WOULD sell more if it were not PSVR exclusive. Look at RE4 VR. At the time it was a giant success for Meta. I think the fastest selling VR game ever. The fact that I don't own a PS5 and a PSVR2 is the only reason I have not played 7 or 8. Meta pushes these simpler titles because devs are greedy and just want to shovel out a quick profit on a bare bones team. And getting simpler titles is a lot easier to do on the Meta platform so it's just completely inundated with trash.
It's not even that. Hybrid games (flat games that also have a VR mode) literally aren't counted as VR games in Sony's sales charts. So the Resident Evil games, Gran Turismo 7, Phasmophobia, and No Man's Sky don't show up in PSVR 2 game charts because they have no way of separating VR users from people playing flat. Even despite that, 9 out of the 20 spots were taken up by arguably fairly hardcore games (Metro, Arizona Sunshine 2, Pavlov, Swordsman, and Legendary Tales). And two of the biggest hardcore games of the year came out part way through December (Alien and Behemoth) and both did well on that month's VR sales charts, but it'd be pretty tough for them to make the top 10 games for the whole year with less than a month of sales. Impressive that Metro made the list with under two months on the market. I get the point Matteo was trying to make, but honestly the PSVR 2 sales charts don't back it up nearly as well as the Meta store charts would.
They could port over the 3DS version of Resident Evil Revelations 1 to the Quest 3 no problem, and get it running at 90fps without the visual set backs & compromises that you get with RE Village & RE4 Remake on PSVR2.
@@GreyMatterShades Crazy. Phasmophobia is the game I play the most in VR. And then we have Hitman 3 winning VR game of the year 2022 on Steam. lmao. I wish the PC version of Resident Evil 7 was also VR compatible. That's my favorite Resident Evil game.
Into Black rules, it's one of the funnest VR experiences I've ever had. Highly recommended! Also, while I agree with your general point about PCVR, I don't think Into the Radius 2's sales figures are a good representation of where it's at. While the developers are absolutely killing it with updates, it's still in early access and has a lot of huge bugs. It's much better now than it was at launch, but it's still in pretty rough shape, and I think a lot of people are waiting until the full release especially at $40. I'd be curious to see ITR1 sales across all platforms.
Non standalone pcvr with displayport and good pancake lenses that doesn't have terrible quality for $500 to $600 slightly higher resolution to Quest 3s. Is that too big to ask for?
It is 100% too much to ask for. Meta is selling the Quest 3 at cost or at a loss. Meta makes their money on their subscriptions and their marketplace. If you’re buying your games from Steam for PCVR the manufacturers (say pimax or htc) doesn’t get a dime. That is why their headsets are more money.
@@NicholasDutko 100% This. The only companies that can actually put out affordable high-quality VR are platform holders like Meta, Sony, and Valve (to a somewhat lesser extent unless they software lock it to only play Steam VR). Even Sony wasn't willing to eat a big enough loss to put out PSVR 2 at a price most people could tolerate.
To me, VR gaming is the future. Id wish AA titles would at least include an option. Like cyberpunk. I dont want to use MODS. Or make both, flatscreen (to make money) and a VR version. Win win.
The problem is, most game companies don't think that second win is actually a win for them. They believe a VR version wouldn't increase overall sales enough to justify its cost of development and the opportunity-cost of having their staff work on it instead of more games/content to sell to the much larger flat audience. Sadly they're probably right. However, I think independent VR porting companies like Flat2VR could make VR conversions profitable. They just have to convince large companies it's worth it.
I increasingly don't know what you want to say. The VR market is growing little by little. in to the radius shows the potential of vr gaming. At least it's much better than trashy, low-quality quest games. I don't know what vr game you want.
That is correct. It also excludes GT7, Phasmophobia, and No Man's Sky. Also bundled copies of Horizon CotM or physical game sales (not that there are many of those, but there are some).
If Project Moohan is mainly focused on MR, I'd be fine with it if the MR quailty is higher than what we've seen and has a robust future for things like Demeo's MR experience, Spatial Ops. Things of that nature but software wise these type of games need to be more elevated and not experiences we've already seen, otherwise Quest 3 it is.
Well, I will still stay with my Quest 3 whatever Meta does, no desire to get Ran Ban products, and need to look at Into the Radius 2 gameplay as I have Into the Radius 1 but have not done much gameplay with it.
7:12 I think MKBHD analysis is best. The industry will make standalone headsets, more portable and make glasses less portable until they meet in the middle.
don't really care what he said and btw the award has nothing to do with meta. AIXR is in no way affiliated. I turned down the Quest ambassador program multiple years in a row. When they came up with the quest creator programs and gave me a 0 obligation contract, I was ready to join. Having early access to news and hardware is important to me and I've never had any stipulations applied to what I can or can't say, so I'm happy to have joined.
8:20 I agree More competition is definitely a good thing But the problem is the lack of focus on gaming from this Samsung headset, it doesn't even come with controllers I hope the Valve Deckard is the real SteamDeck Headset, the true Quest competitor I hope Nintendo also has a VR accessory for the upcoming Switch 2, it could be pretty simple, just a headset where you dock your Switch, like the LABO but not made from paper
I wish Sony would just do a PSVR2 head revision. It has so much potential, but it's held back from a handful of head scratching feature/design decisions...Like the fresnel lenses(TIny sweet spot, soft clarity), cable, bulky visor, Onion ring controllers, the fact that there's no colour passthrough or mixed reality mode is baffling. They didn't even add numbers to the IPD Dial(You're going in blind) and there's no built in audio for people that don't want to use ear buds, plus it feels like you're wearing a medieval torture device due to the lack of any interface padding. I think Pancake Lenses + Dual LCD 'full array local dimming' SDR displays would be a big win, with wireless connectivity to PS5/PS5 Pro, the Pancake lenses would trim a ton of bulk of the visor getting just as slim or possibly slimmer than Q3, they could also go ring-less with the controllers, with an improved silicone padded interface etc etc. As is, the PSVR2 is a friction point heavy cumbersome and bulky headset that will have most people running for the hills. :P Then top it off with a brand new VR trailer reel with Resident Evil Zero VR, Astro Bot: Rescue Mission+, an optimized port of Ocean Descent, maybe VR-ify the upcoming House of the Dead 2 Remake etc etc. Again, so much wasted potential. Plus, with the power of the PS5/PS5 Pro, we'd also get some pretty unreal mixed reality games too! As is, VR is in a frustrating weird spot. I know Sony will finally get it right with PSVR3 by 2029/2030, if they decide to take the VR plunge once again.
@@NintenPizza I don't have a PS5 and don't plan to buy one soon, but I plan to grab the Switch. For me it sounds like PSVR2 is good enough, it just need more games (which unfortunately I don't see that happening). But a true competitor for Quest should be Standalone, that's why a SteamDeck headset from Valve would offer true competition. Switch is a Standalone device and would be close enough. I don't think Fresnel would save PSVR2, jus like the PSVita LCD didn't saved PSVITA I agree with you that House of Dead should be in VR, it would be awesome.

AndroidXR is the only thing im looking forward to in VR...
@ ok just mention that when you do anything because I wasted more time just to go and look it up and find no information which I’m sure lots a viewers will end up doing since this recent video looks like it will have more details . Thanks
If that Samsung headset really wants to be just android Vision Pro then I am already predict a failure, people do not buy VR headsets to use them as wearable smartphones, they need to focus on games as well, I hope this thing will at least came out with proper controllers, and maybe, just MAYBE, we will start a 3rd party VR controller market, imagine if this thing had swapable controllers
first headset sub £1000 with micro oled screens eye / built in hand tracking Will be my next purchase I'm basically don't play any meta games because the graphics are horrible, only really play pcvr stuff now and you really need oled screens because everything looks a bit grey when it's dark.
I see vr gaming and flat screen are not on the same lvl. What about mods. What if we put more resources into moding. Make it more simple to install, more user friendly. I see VR trying to stand on its on but like you say it's not there yet. What if we make it so that moding, is easier and more user friendly. That way you can sell the flat screen game. And to play it in VR add about 10 bucks more for the mod pack. I mean quality and stuff would come into play. But it's kinda like piggy backing.
I've been subscribed to this channel since purchasing a Quest 2 early last year and have now upgraded to a Quest 3. I've been impressed with your straightforward videos, down to earth attitude and unbiased reviews.
A few notes regarding the PSVR 2 sales segment: 1) Hybrid games like RE Village or 4 Remake, GT7, Phasmophobia, or No Man's Sky don't show up on the PSVR 2 sales charts because they're considered flat games. In fact both Gran Turismo 7 and Phasmophobia made it onto the European top 25 downloads list for flat games (but we have no way of knowing how many of those sales were to VR users because that info isn't shared). 2) That's a sales chart for the whole year, so titles like Alien: Rogue Incursion and Behemoth would have to be absolute smash hits to rank in the top 10 considering they were out for less than a month in 2024. Very impressive that Metro made the list since it only came out in November. Disappointing that Legendary Tales didn't rank higher (or at all in Europe), but I think a big part of that is the high price tag. 3) I'm not sure I'd call Pavlov, Arizona Sunshine 2, Swordsman VR, Metro, or Legendary Tales casual or "babyish" games, and that's almost half the titles (9/20 games between the two charts). I realize you're trying to make a point about the VR market, but I'm not sure these stats really back up your point. There's a decent chance GT7, Phasmophobia, and even RE4 Remake could have been on these lists, even when only counting the VR players, and that would have increased the representation of "core" games in the sales charts even further. I'm also curious what the top 10 best selling Quest games chart would look like for 2024. If you disregard pack-in games (another thing the PSVR 2 charts do), or at least adjust their numbers to the people who actually played them more than half an hour, it might reinforce the point you were trying to make a little better. The Meta website won't load their list for the best selling titles of 2024 for me, but the current top 10 "most popular" games are 1) Gorilla Tag, 2) Meta Horizon Worlds (sus), 3) VR Chat, 4) Roblox, 5) Animal Company, 6) Beat Saber, 7) Rec Room, 8) Blade & Sorcery Nomad, 9) Scary Baboon, and 10) VRFS - Football (Soccer) Simulator... and 11) Batman: Arkham Shadows I'm glad you're optimistic about PSVR 2 having a better year in 2024. I'm not sure it'll be better (at least in terms of the quantity of big titles), but it seems like it's getting off to a good start at least.
A few more PSVR 2 sales charts things of note: - Both Alien and Behemoth ranked highly in the December downloads charts for PSVR 2 (#2 and #3 in NA, and #1 and #4 in Europe, respectively). - Metro was #1 in both regions in November, and was #5 and #6 in NA and Europe in December. - Phasmophobia was #12 and #6 among flat games in October (not bad since it launched October 29), #2 and #4 in November, and #7 in both regions in December. Again, there's no telling how many of those people were playing in VR, but considering the disparity of audience sizes between the flat audience and VR, if even 10% of those players bought it for VR, it probably would have made the VR charts. - And Gran Turismo 7 also made the flat charts in December (#15 in NA, #8 in Europe). That's probably because it was on sale for its biggest discount so far, but so was the PSVR 2 at the same time. COINCIDENCE?!?!! ...yeah probably 😉
@Gamingwithmatteo311 you that's who. We have had this conversation before. For PC VR and Quest. I am very confident even if there are dips, the VR Genie is out of the bottle. I can not at anytime see it going anywhere. A whole generation is starting to grow up with this. Even if Sony totally abandons it. In time it would come back. Again the same exact thing happened to the PC market 10 years ago. As long as there are up and coming hungry developers out there then we will continue. Even if meta gives it up. It will totally continue in one form or another. What valve is doing makes total sense, to have an all in one device is the way to go. It opens Even more doors. Flat, VR and 3D games all in one place. You should only be spreading the good news because in the long run that's exactly what will happen. I don't really care who you are talking to. There are always hungry talented people out there if not our country then another.

Having early access to news and hardware is important to me and I've never had any stipulations applied to what I can or can't say, so I'm happy to have joined.
@Gamingwithmatteo311 with all the sponsors and AI generated thumbnails I am sure you are happy you joined the programme 👍
@iwantalot i see you are regurgitating nonsense you know nothing about. Cool
I’m going to guess you got a 5090 being delivered Wednesday.😄
Sony dont add hybrids like gt7, res evils etc to psvr2 list as they calculate the sales on the flat game side.
They don’t put hybrid games like res evil and gt7 on the list of psvr2 downloads.
only 2% of RE4 remake players were in VR. Hybrid or not they're not selling well for vr
@@Gamingwithmatteo311the point is, even when they came out if they sold well, you wouldn’t know based on these charts.
@@rushtoolman but there other numbers available to look at
Wrap up video would be good!
That second game is just for an unnamed Meta headset? What’s that?
Big editing mistake, it's on steamvr, the game is pixel arcade
8:20 I agree
More competition is definitely a good thing
But the problem is the lack of focus on gaming from this Samsung headset, it doesn't even come with controllers
I hope the Valve Deckard is the real SteamDeck Headset, the true Quest competitor
I hope Nintendo also has a VR accessory for the upcoming Switch 2, it could be pretty simple, just a headset where you dock your Switch, like the LABO but not made from paper
Was praying switch 2 would bring vr to their console.... doesn't look promising at the moment but we'll see more early next month.
@@christianlamb Fingers crossed that we get a true VR accessory in the future... I can imagine one that works like that old Samsung Gear VR
I wish Sony would just do a PSVR2 head revision. It has so much potential, but it's held back from a handful of head scratching feature/design decisions...Like the fresnel lenses(TIny sweet spot, soft clarity), cable, bulky visor, Onion ring controllers, the fact that there's no colour passthrough or mixed reality mode is baffling. They didn't even add numbers to the IPD Dial(You're going in blind) and there's no built in audio for people that don't want to use ear buds, plus it feels like you're wearing a medieval torture device due to the lack of any interface padding.
I think Pancake Lenses + Dual LCD 'full array local dimming' SDR displays would be a big win, with wireless connectivity to PS5/PS5 Pro, the Pancake lenses would trim a ton of bulk of the visor getting just as slim or possibly slimmer than Q3, they could also go ring-less with the controllers, with an improved silicone padded interface etc etc. As is, the PSVR2 is a friction point heavy cumbersome and bulky headset that will have most people running for the hills. :P
Then top it off with a brand new VR trailer reel with Resident Evil Zero VR, Astro Bot: Rescue Mission+, an optimized port of Ocean Descent, maybe VR-ify the upcoming House of the Dead 2 Remake etc etc. Again, so much wasted potential. Plus, with the power of the PS5/PS5 Pro, we'd also get some pretty unreal mixed reality games too! As is, VR is in a frustrating weird spot. I know Sony will finally get it right with PSVR3 by 2029/2030, if they decide to take the VR plunge once again.
@@NintenPizza I don't have a PS5 and don't plan to buy one soon, but I plan to grab the Switch. For me it sounds like PSVR2 is good enough, it just need more games (which unfortunately I don't see that happening). But a true competitor for Quest should be Standalone, that's why a SteamDeck headset from Valve would offer true competition. Switch is a Standalone device and would be close enough.
I don't think Fresnel would save PSVR2, jus like the PSVita LCD didn't saved PSVITA
I agree with you that House of Dead should be in VR, it would be awesome.
AndroidXR is the only thing im looking forward to in VR...
You highlighted the new Samsung but gave zero information on price or release dates ???
That information isn't available yet
@ ok just mention that when you do anything because I wasted more time just to go and look it up and find no information which I’m sure lots a viewers will end up doing since this recent video looks like it will have more details . Thanks
If that Samsung headset really wants to be just android Vision Pro then I am already predict a failure, people do not buy VR headsets to use them as wearable smartphones, they need to focus on games as well, I hope this thing will at least came out with proper controllers, and maybe, just MAYBE, we will start a 3rd party VR controller market, imagine if this thing had swapable controllers
first headset sub £1000 with micro oled screens eye / built in hand tracking Will be my next purchase I'm basically don't play any meta games because the graphics are horrible, only really play pcvr stuff now and you really need oled screens because everything looks a bit grey when it's dark.
the suprise, Half Life 3!!!! for god`s sake!!!
I see vr gaming and flat screen are not on the same lvl. What about mods. What if we put more resources into moding. Make it more simple to install, more user friendly. I see VR trying to stand on its on but like you say it's not there yet. What if we make it so that moding, is easier and more user friendly. That way you can sell the flat screen game. And to play it in VR add about 10 bucks more for the mod pack. I mean quality and stuff would come into play. But it's kinda like piggy backing.
I'm back because no AI slop in the title card
Just like 90% of my thumbnails.
Get-hip said some pretty bad stuff about you in his recent video.
Didn't watch it, don't care.
I've been subscribed to this channel since purchasing a Quest 2 early last year and have now upgraded to a Quest 3. I've been impressed with your straightforward videos, down to earth attitude and unbiased reviews.
@@Fasterthanyou300 thanks buddy
let's go
A few notes regarding the PSVR 2 sales segment:
1) Hybrid games like RE Village or 4 Remake, GT7, Phasmophobia, or No Man's Sky don't show up on the PSVR 2 sales charts because they're considered flat games. In fact both Gran Turismo 7 and Phasmophobia made it onto the European top 25 downloads list for flat games (but we have no way of knowing how many of those sales were to VR users because that info isn't shared).
2) That's a sales chart for the whole year, so titles like Alien: Rogue Incursion and Behemoth would have to be absolute smash hits to rank in the top 10 considering they were out for less than a month in 2024. Very impressive that Metro made the list since it only came out in November. Disappointing that Legendary Tales didn't rank higher (or at all in Europe), but I think a big part of that is the high price tag.
3) I'm not sure I'd call Pavlov, Arizona Sunshine 2, Swordsman VR, Metro, or Legendary Tales casual or "babyish" games, and that's almost half the titles (9/20 games between the two charts).
I realize you're trying to make a point about the VR market, but I'm not sure these stats really back up your point. There's a decent chance GT7, Phasmophobia, and even RE4 Remake could have been on these lists, even when only counting the VR players, and that would have increased the representation of "core" games in the sales charts even further.
I'm also curious what the top 10 best selling Quest games chart would look like for 2024. If you disregard pack-in games (another thing the PSVR 2 charts do), or at least adjust their numbers to the people who actually played them more than half an hour, it might reinforce the point you were trying to make a little better. The Meta website won't load their list for the best selling titles of 2024 for me, but the current top 10 "most popular" games are 1) Gorilla Tag, 2) Meta Horizon Worlds (sus), 3) VR Chat, 4) Roblox, 5) Animal Company, 6) Beat Saber, 7) Rec Room, 8) Blade & Sorcery Nomad, 9) Scary Baboon, and 10) VRFS - Football (Soccer) Simulator... and 11) Batman: Arkham Shadows
I'm glad you're optimistic about PSVR 2 having a better year in 2024. I'm not sure it'll be better (at least in terms of the quantity of big titles), but it seems like it's getting off to a good start at least.
A few more PSVR 2 sales charts things of note:
- Both Alien and Behemoth ranked highly in the December downloads charts for PSVR 2 (#2 and #3 in NA, and #1 and #4 in Europe, respectively).
- Metro was #1 in both regions in November, and was #5 and #6 in NA and Europe in December.
- Phasmophobia was #12 and #6 among flat games in October (not bad since it launched October 29), #2 and #4 in November, and #7 in both regions in December. Again, there's no telling how many of those people were playing in VR, but considering the disparity of audience sizes between the flat audience and VR, if even 10% of those players bought it for VR, it probably would have made the VR charts.
- And Gran Turismo 7 also made the flat charts in December (#15 in NA, #8 in Europe). That's probably because it was on sale for its biggest discount so far, but so was the PSVR 2 at the same time. COINCIDENCE?!?!! ...yeah probably 😉
I have Resident evil 8 on psvr2, and boring. Overrated
Meh. These Nintendo VR games that look like they escaped from 1998 do absolutely nothing for me.
Debbie Downer stikes yet again. .
@@paulbellino5330 who?
@Gamingwithmatteo311 you that's who. We have had this conversation before. For PC VR and Quest. I am very confident even if there are dips, the VR Genie is out of the bottle. I can not at anytime see it going anywhere. A whole generation is starting to grow up with this. Even if Sony totally abandons it. In time it would come back. Again the same exact thing happened to the PC market 10 years ago. As long as there are up and coming hungry developers out there then we will continue. Even if meta gives it up. It will totally continue in one form or another. What valve is doing makes total sense, to have an all in one device is the way to go. It opens Even more doors. Flat, VR and 3D games all in one place. You should only be spreading the good news because in the long run that's exactly what will happen. I don't really care who you are talking to. There are always hungry talented people out there if not our country then another.
@@paulbellino5330 Did you watch this video. I'm so confused, I was positive about everything. I literally end the video saying I have huge expectations for the future. I have some people saying I'm too positive so I must be a shill and now you say I'm negative on everything. You guys need to make up your mind
@Gamingwithmatteo311 lmao I like you I really do. You have balls lmao. I am just your conscious steering you in the right direction
