Quest 3 is a very good headset. Dont know why your trying to say otherwise?. Just look at the Quest 2 and its already a pretty big jump over that. I have watched movies on a massive screen in VR on a much lower res Headset and it was good. I am pretty sure i heard plenty of PS users saying how that was also good on the PSVR Maybe even you at one stage not sure??. Anyway the Quest 3 is my next VR headset since i can use it away from my pc and than on my PC. Like i said before "If" Sony gave the option maybe i would of got the PSVR2, but even than im not sure since like i said i can use the Quest 3 without my PC. |
Oh it's a good headset, I just think xCloud is the worst thing you can use on a headset. I tested xCloud wired to my router on Series X and it still randomly dropped to half frame rate with input lag that made it only just possible to complete the FH5 intro. xCloud is better on mobile screens, not cinema size in your face having to look around to see the edges.
I have watched a movie on PSVR via Netflix and two 3D movies on blu-ray. That was enough to convince me it's not worth it. I've also played a bit of flat games on a VR headset. What you get is a very large pixelated view that is rather uncomfortable to watch since the content isn't scaled to be field of view filling. It's cool the first time you use it that way, but (unlike VR games) the wow factor is gone before the movie is over.
The 3D effect with 3D blu-ray does work on PSVR (not supported on PSVR2 ugh) but it's totally different from VR. And without parallax / reacting to head movements, my mind tunes out the fake 3D effect before the movie is over and it all looks pretty much flat. (I watched Tangled and Prometheus in 3D on PSVR, although only half an hour of Prometheus before I switched back to TV)
Of course I'm spoiled by having my own home theater, 92" screen which blows PSVR/PSVR2 out of the water when it comes to watching flat content. And I don't use that anymore currently since it's 1080p SDR and 65" 4K/HDR is far superior in image quality.
So yes it does work, but don't expect anything great looking. I say this because when PSVR2 came out a lot of disappointed people flooded Reddit that were expecting to get a 4K cinema size screen comparable to a large OLED tv... PSVR2 does have OLED but the resolution in TV mode is more comparable to DVD than 4K. You only get the full res if you use the full size and a screen filling your entire field of view (sitting front row middle in the cinema) is not for me. Anyway you've already used cinema mode I see so you know what to expect. Many people just see the listed resolution and expect to get the same quality as on TV.
Maybe I'll get Quest 3 as Puzzling Places is one of my favorites and only Quest has pass through mode for that game. Quest 3's pass through mode looks awesome. (It's fine in PSVR2 but B&W only and no games make use of it) However I'm not a fan of Meta at all, so probably won't. |
Yeah pretty good post i can agree with a lot of what you say here. I guess its since my first experience using it to watch a movie was pretty good since i was using a PC VR headset that had a higher field of view than say the PSVR1. But even than like you said it still wouldnt be as clear as if i was watching it on my 4k screen but i found the experiance pretty good imo and great for 3D movies much better than the samsung 3D tv i used to have before i got my 4k samsung to be honest.
But yeah people expecting to go in and get the same quality they would on their TV are going to be in for some disappointment unless they are running one of them 8k or 16k primax headsets 
.
Meta is my main reason why i was leaning towards a PSVR2 headset as my next one if Sony brought support for PC, but they didnt and i need a new headset so Quest 3 it has to be :-/ .
