Can anyone confirm the game sizes for the quest 2? Apparently Saint and Sinners is 12gb(ish) and needs to be loaded to the quest but I have also been told that's installed on your pc and not the quest so which is correct? I've had a look at the oculus store and I can't find the Quest 2 version of the game to check the install size.

Saints and sinners will be 9gb on Quest and 12gb with the DLC apparently.

Most games are much smaller than that, but I can imagine that with the Quest 2's power that there will be more ports from PC with bigger install sizes, or bigger games developed specifically for Quest as the user base will be big enough to support it.

This is the issue, the quest 2 being used as a pcvr is going to struggle for most people. 2070/2080 super's are going to struggle due to the 4k @90hz resolution.
That's why im sticking with my rift s

There will be different quality/performance options for Oculus Link. Currently Quest 2 is running at Quest resolution in link anyway, but of course you'll get the benefit of the much reduced SDE, even if it's not rendering at native resolution.
 
I'm really feeling the need for a 3080, mainly to play modded Skyrim and sims which my 1080ti is currently struggling to run at acceptable frame-rates without reprojecton. (Currently using an Index). I've given up on getting one for now due to the lack of supply. Just as well as I've bought the Quest 2 256gb + Battery stap and case, which wasn't cheap!
 
Air Car (flying through a Blade Runner style city) is a great free experience to try in PC VR. Be warned though, that it can be hard on the stomach if you start flying extreme maneuvers. However it's a great chill experience if you take it easy.
 
Upload VR on the Elite Battery strap:
... I will say the Elite Battery Strap is a fair bit better than the current $49 Elite Strap and if you were considering getting the base Elite Strap and Carrying Case separately, the added battery charge and improved comfort definitely make this other bundle worth the extra $30 or so.

So it looks like the Elite battery strap is more comfortable (due to the counterweight) than the Elite strap.

Bit like the Quest 1. £499 for the 128gb... but then £60 for prescription lenses, £40 for the official case, then over £100 spent on various extras trying to get the darn thing more comfortable! Just as I get it at an acceptable level of comfort the Quest 2 launches that needs its own accessories. (Though at least I can use the prescription lenses from my old Quest).

Bit off topic but to obtain a very capable 4k PCVR system with all the new components coming out:
  • 5900X + new X570 mobo (£740)
  • PCI gen4 M2 SSD (£170)
  • 32Gb 3600 ram upgrade (£220)
  • Nvidia 3080 or AMD 6000 series GPU (£700)
Man that's over £1800 :(

That's only if you want to get absolute top performance. You could build a machine cheaper than that and get accepable VR peformance.

But then you can buy a Quest 2 for £300 and play a large library of VR games with acceptable quality.

Talking about performance, I want to upgrade to the 3080 at some point (when they're finally available!) but is my old i7-4790k going to hold it back too much?
Am I looking at a system wide upgrade or could I get away with just the 3080 for the time being?
Click to expand...

I noticed a big difference in consistency in framerates when I upgraded from a 4790K to a 3900X. Not necessarily hugely faster framerates (though there was an increase), but the frame timings and 1% lows were much better with a newer processor using the same graphics card - a 1080Ti FTW3.

I imagine a 3080 would be bottlenecked somewhat by a 4790k, but VR is more GPU dependent than CPU dependent.

If only I could actually buy a 3080. I've given up for now.
 
Looks like a few lucky people have managed to get their Quests 2's early as some retailers have accidentally broken the street date...

...except they're not that lucky because the app and firmware updates aren't ready yet, so they can't activate the headsets.

New Oculus Blog post about Facebook accounts. Not exactly reassuring. Here's the pertinent bit:

If I’m having problems accessing my Facebook account, can I still use my Oculus device?

If you encounter problems with your Facebook account, we want to try to help you resolve them as quickly as possible.

If you have a temporary issue with your Facebook account after logging in to your Oculus device—for example if it uses a name that does not follow our policies—you will still be able to use your device while you resolve the issue, so long as you remain logged in to your device and do not log out. If you’re in this situation, you’ll have the opportunity to request a review of the issue when you log into Facebook.

Repeated or particularly serious violations of our Community Standards may lead you to lose access to your Facebook account, meaning you will no longer be able to log into your device using that account.

For additional help in setting up or using your Oculus device, please contact Oculus Support.

Where can I get help if I’m having problems logging into my Oculus device with a Facebook account?

It surprises me that any developer offers crossbuy at all.

I think this will be less of an issue in future - I can't see Oculus financing any more PC versions.

Potentially the last two Oculus PC games will be Lone Echo 2, and the new Call of Duty VR game (which is on Steam anyway).

I expect that Lone Echo and Lone Echo 2 will come to Quest 2 at some point.

I expect you are right. Shame that going forward Oculus won't have is it hand in PC VR games.

On the plus side, it would be great to have some Quest games with bigger scope, and Facebook may well finance and publish some bigger games - they've hinted at this. A game like Asgards Wrath, or even Skyrim VR would be amazing on Quest 2. These AAA games take time though.

At the moment the only decently long games are the sideloaded ports from Dr. Beef. In fact it'd be great if Oculus could pick up the licenses for these games and publish optimised ports themselves. If Dr. Beef can do it so well, why can't they?
 
Well I've just had to create my Facebook account (something I have never wanted) so I can use the Quest 2. Here's hoping it doesn't get banned! What was scary is that it immediately suggested as friends close family members, colleagues and some people I know on the internet but have never been in personal contact with! Just shows that even without a Facebook account they already know a lot about you.

I plan to only use it for logging into Oculus.
