    Thank you for this review, good to see someone focusing on everything they enjoyed and didn't, I never realized what was wrong until you mentioned the angle of the controller. It just feels weird when trying to shoot in a game. I definitely recommend saving a tonne of cash and buying a 3rd party elite strap and a 10k or 20k mAh battery pack, you can grab both for about 60% the price of the Quest 3 official elite strap

  • @TheArtofGuitar

    Just got one. You're right about the discomfort, jumped right on Amazon and they probably knew I would. Loving the smaller controllers, can't wait to try Eleven VR on it. Not sure if they upgraded Resident Evil 4 yet but it looks and plays great. Once the comfort strap comes I'll have a lot more to talk about but for now I'm going to ice my forehead. ;)

    Thank you for the honest review! As a Quest2 owner, I am a member of a couple of Quest and VR groups and all reviews I've seen were overwhelmingly positive - as could be expected from people that coughed up not at all insignificant sum for it, trying to justify the purchase. By pointing out the negatives, you have solidified my previous decision to wait a bit - a bit of a price drop, new features will be fully supported (by Meta and 3rd party) and 256GB model will surely be available.

For Q2 owner waiting is what i would do, but this is my first VR so waiting is no good for me :D

    Thanks for another great review, and thanks for also covering the issue with wearing glasses which I have never seen before on VR units. This has kept me away from them but seeing you can purchase inserts makes it something that can now be considered for me. I did however not appreciate you shooting the flumps, Teletubbies would have been great but the Flumps?

    At first I thought the mixed reality feature was a gimmick and I would end up playing VR games exclusively on it. BUT the mixed reality feature is honestly the dopest thing I have ever experienced. 100% worth it and a huge leap for MR in the market. I can’t even imagine what they’re going to do next, for the first time in a long time.

    @atsjones 9 місяців тому +1

    Thank you, Stu! This video has great insights with simple explanations.
    It's slightly daunting how most reviewers cater to Q2 owners, though I understand that those viewers might need more convincing arguments to relegate their £300+ headset to a shelf. Wonder how many years until I'm watching Q4 videos and whispering "Mine is fine." to myself. I am a complete VR rookie and I believe my only experience with a headset was the OG Vive 5 or more years ago in a tech booth inside some fantasy room with books and potions. My memory of it is indeed vague, though I've always been enamored by the potential of VR, not from personal experience, moreso from people with the most recent tech expressing their enjoyment. Luckily (in a sense), I saw leaks of Q3 in the summer and decided to save up in the months leading up to its release. 3 months of pumping VR channel's viewcounts listening to the same facts will be over this wednesday and I couldn't be more excited to join you all in these experiences.

    This is the perfect review. It articulates my exact experience. Was surprised they literally had nothing big for launch, just a tech demo. They advertised Asgard 2 like you get it at launch. Was excited to play, but nope. Not til December. The few MR apps are pretty cool, though. Figmin is worth the price, IMO. I love the creative potential.

  • @ianroberts3456

    Great review Stu and i think that you're correct about Meta with thier somewhat lack of clarity. Featurewise the quest 2 has come a long way and its now currently great.... But some of them were a long time coming. It will likely be the same with 3. Hopefully meta wont sack too many of the engineers to delay updates further.

    Battery is 19.44Wh instead of the Quest 2's 14Wh, although it does still weigh slightly less without the adjustable facial interface and y strap. Definitely needed that capacity bump though, and obviously it's still inadequate for MR. I'll be getting the BoboVR M3 Pro+ so I can keep using my existing hot swappable batteries. I learnt my lesson after using the stock strap on the Quest 2 for way too long, and then realising how much more I started using it once I'd upgraded.

  • @saintuk70

It's amazing but I do need a bigger battery..I'm holding off to see what options there will be before I try the official elite strap with battery. It's just so pricey..and I heard stories about their past elite straps.. so I'm cautious

  • @Joric78

    I wouldn't try and bank any of Meta's promises, but they have done a good job of significant updates on the Quest 2.
    Airlink, 120hz, hand tracking (constant improvements), higher clock speeds (26% CPU and 19% GPU), double tap pass through, cloud backup, tablet/docked and desktop modes for the OS, multiple windows/multitasking, space sense with the cartoon outlines, desk and couch mode, swipe keyboard, bluetooth mouse and keyboard support, usb-c headphone support, guardian improvements, phone notifications, window resizing, oculus move fitness stats, Parental supervision tools, Oculus home improvements (being able to move around, the mirror, avatar improvements etc), custom remapping the touch controllers, putting back standard android features they'd removed (date/time adjust after one of their updates changed the date into the future and blocked everyone's internet access) etc, etc.

      I skipped the quest pro, so I can't say for sure, but what i will say is that the spec sheet is very similar - so unless theres something specific you want about the quest 3 (like the inevitable larger support from third part accessories), then you're probably fine sticking with the pro!

  • @Richachu
    @Richachu 9 місяців тому +1

    Thank you for the review! I purchased the Quest 3, but it still sits in an unopened bag underneath my computer desk. I've been hesitant to open it, perhaps fearing this isn't the time to jump into VR again. I bought the original heavy, black-colored Oculus device back many year ago. While satisfied in the overall VR experience, the lens resolution was disappointing. I am anxious to see what today's technology update has to offer today.
    TLDR: Thank you for the review, been around VR for a while. Sub'd to your channel because your presentation is stellar ^^ Thanks again!

    Just bought one and hoped that it would feel like a significant upgrade over my cv1, and unfortunately it really doesn't. It's quite a bit heavier, fov feels smaller, and while the sde is almost completely gone, I prefer the deeper blacks that the cv1 gets. And like you said, the strap is terrible and while that is acceptable for $300, I don't think it is for $500. I'll continue to play around with it and hopefully change my mind, but I may return it

Meta claimed they made the strap stronger and more durable this time for the Quest 3, I just bought the Quest 3, but I am not going to set it up until I get the Elite strap with battery which I just ordered and will receive it in a couple of days, I would never use the default strap that the headset comes with, like what did with the Quest 2 also, I have been waiting all year for the Quest 3 to come out and finally it's here, it has great reviews everywhere online, looking forward to setting the headset up

It has replaced my reverb G2.. other than the sweet spot on the G2 which does have a overall higher resolution. the total clarity along with all the other features , i do think it was a good upgrade. I will be trying the reverb again in a couple of weeks and be deciding if I should sell it. Tracking is very good and if you have good wifi comes very close to replacing the display cable.

    Disappointing that the 'included launch game' actually isnt released until December - lets hope all the early adopters remember to claim it when it eventually arrives.
    And yes, the included strap is indeed Satan's Codpiece.... so today I ordered the battery elite strap too (as I had that on the Quest 2). Big bonus being it still fits in the standard Quest carry case.

      Finally someone who gets it.
      Coming from a quest 2 myself, the difference in comfort ist night and day!
      You just have to make sure to NOT overtight the band that goes over your head, so that the horizontal band can rest lower at the back of your head and is kind of being secured by it. You then don't have to make the whole thing so tight that it crushes your face because the horizontal band is kept in place by your head itself and not because it's so tight.
      For me there is no problem at all wearing that thing a whole battery-cycle. On the quest 2 it really was a pain to do so but not anymore. I'm still going to get a bobovr some day in the future for maximum comfort though.

    The quest three is no doubt an *upgrade* to the quest 2. But it is getting more incremental, as technology like this tends to do, just look at smart phones. I feel like even a quest 4 *might* not be worth an upgrade when we get there in like 2-3 years. I might eat my words.

      I don't really agree with that - i think this is more revolutionary than evolutionary. Like i said, the recipe is the same... theres not much that can be done about that, but what theyve done is made mixed reality an achievable and affordable experience, and i think thats super important for the next stages of the technology.

      ​​​@@StusReviewsUKI totally agree with you!
      The jump from quest 2 to quest 3 is way larger than quest 1 to quest 2. The upgrade to quest 2 two years ago even came with a few downsides for example the missing oled. Q2"s screen is still miles better as a whole though. But what quest 3 accomplished is phenomenal. The new lenses by itself would have been enough for me to upgrade but they improved on literally everything, from sound, over comfort and resolution to MR and the controllers. That the controllers are missing that ring now makes so many games play better because you don't always have to mess with them while reloading your weapon for example.
      As an owner of a quest 1, quest 2 and now quest 3 it feels like they made a list from all the wishes the community had and put it all in a new and still kind of affordable device.
      If it had an OLED Screen it really would have been perfect and I wouldn't see any reason to upgrade to the next generation in the future. Feels kind of like the time when android got to a point with the galaxy s7 where it began that it really became just a device you can use without kind of 'fighting' against it frome time to time.
      I remember me being hyped over upgrading my smartphone after one year and studying what all the new leaks for devices are that I might purchase a year later. Then the galaxy note 8 came and I just used it 4 years until my screen broke. That might be the quest 3 for me.

      My theory is this about the broken strap… because we came from quest 1… you remember how that was spring loaded? Like you had adjustment but the tension was sprung so you could remove and put on the headset? I found myself subconsciously doing that with the quest 2 and elite trap, but because that doesn’t spring like the quest 1, I was putting stress on it. I’d put money on the fact that 80% of those with broken straps came from the quest 1…

    Well, graphically it is 30% better than Meta Quest 2 as Meta says.
    Movies, TV & UA-cam look crisp. No blur, lag or pixelated when you bring anything close up. Text a lot easier to read now too.
    Games look a little bit better, audio is fastly improved & games flow a lot better without lag or 'side walls'.
    It sits better on the face, but not by much. The colour passthrough is a nice touch though 👍
    So, buy one right now?
    Well, I'd honestly say 'no', unless you're a VR/tech fanboy like me & saved up over a year & pre-ordered like I did.
    I'd wait until a few months into 2024 (or mid 2024), when it's had a few updates & 'come into its own' with exclusive titles etc because at the moment, you're just playing your MQ2 games & watching movies etc but with better visuals.
    I do think all of the online advance reviews & influencer hype about it are basically making it sound better than it actually is. Don't get me wrong, I love it & glad I got it in advance, but if I hadn't, I'd feel a tiny bit cheated. 😎

    I just think Meta has released this for the Xmas market, but with the wait times going into months for one most places that kinda defeats the object here.
    Also i think they've released an unfinished product in a way. It's just an enhanced vanilla product that is redundant until it really comes into its own.
    They've released it with no exclusives, no proper MQ2 game updates for it & to me I think releasing Asgard's Wrath II to showcase its gaming capability in December highlights my point that's it's released early due Xmas.
    So I i think anyone thinking of buying one now should really wait as the dark colours etc & other issues with it won't be remedied until way into the end of the 1st quater of 2024.

    I ordered a new strap before I got my Headset and now the only reason I am happy I did is for the Battery included in the new strap as I find the original strap fine, I don't even feel like I am wearing the thing, probably because I worked on many Industrial sites where a hard hat was required all day every day, I would love to hear the complaints from kids today if they had to wear a hard hat for more than an hour :).
    You don't even feel the Hard hat after a few days wearing one, many still complained, mainly the younger people.
    This is the problem with being spoilt as a child, everyone should; live on a farm for their first 12 years as then we would get over 90% less whinging from them when they grow up and live in our Suburban or City areas.
    I am all for a two year stint in the Military once they leave school as then we not only make the Boys become Men, we also then have a supply of well trained Men should we have need in any Emergency, instead oif a bunch of Alphabet soup children unable to do anything of any use and just run about screaming if they break a fingernail.
