I've been sitting tight on VR, as my experiences are strangely spread out in weird ways. I first tried VR wayyyyy back when I stood in a small cage, the headset IPD was so terrible that I had trouble focusing, and the graphics were about as good as StarFox 64, and I had a simple "gun" in my hand. No movement, the game moved on rails, and I just looked around and pointed at things.
Fast forward to my toe-dipping along the years, and I've even tried mobile phone headsets as well as PSVR. I've continued to hold off because the graphical fidelity and FOV just aren't cutting it for me, yet, and the ones that SEEM like they have the necessary requirements are either a) extremely expensive (Pimax 8K) and/or b) we simply don't have the power to render the TV-level 4K graphics in dual 4K viewpoints in a headset, yet.
Having said that, I continue to be tempted by the Meta Quest 2, especially because it's wireless, has a properly affordable cost, and I can just focus on playing novelty games that don't rely on graphical immersion (like Beat Saber). And yet, despite the positive things I hear about it, and the fact that RE4VR was VERY tempting, I just can't get passed the two above things. FOV is really a sticking point for me as is the continually subpar graphics because the hardware needed to run dual 4K viewpoints with "good" graphics is barely within grasp, and the closest I've seen that impressed me was Half-Life: Alyx on the Index (not mine, just tried it). And therein lies the other problem: the Index is $1000!!! *le sigh*
But yes, someday I'll be all in on VR, mostly for Flight Sim and sim racing, hehe |
You've got a pretty powerful PC (mine is a piece of crap and I need a graphics card). You can download Steam VR and wirelessly play some insane experiences streaming on the headset. It may be far off into the future but I can't wait to see your impressions! |
I'm definitely aware of being able to use the MQ2 with Steam VR, but the issue is still the FOV and resolution/graphics lol... I think the only reason to even PC-link with a MQ2 is for VR porn 
If I was going to go for PC VR, I'd rather get a nicer setup (like the Index, despite the fact that its price range is, once again, really up there and not what I consider an affordable option lol)
