GG, you should get a quest2 if you want to experience VR 'cheap' . With the release of the Quest3, you'll often find the 2 discounted. There are a number of good games on it as a standalone machine, and if you ever get a VR capable PC you can link it with an hdmi cable.

I mean try it for free.

You know what, they should do a 60 day trial with free return. Like QVC.

Unless a friend owned one I'd never try it.

I have an Oculus go. Got it in 2018. It was pretty neat. Very limited comparied to the newer ones, I'm sure. The Discovery channel videos were my favorite thing about it, especially the underwater VR stuff. Video quality was trash though even though display could do 1440p.

I really only want PSVR2. To play Gran Turismo 7. $550 is too much.

Game Under Podcast Episode 152

  • Facebook Losing $1 BN a MONTH on VR.

VR is a geek's dream, but it's just a curiosity for most people. That's why I believe most people only watch 3D movies at the theater, rather than at home.

Thanks for listening, a short show this time around.  Clearly Zuckerberg knows something I don't.

You are right, are steroscopes neat? Yes.  Is looking at a photo good enough? Yes.  I'd still like to try it though.

I am exactly in your camp. Very tempted, but not going to not try before I buy on a $550 purchase.

What resolution do you need for good VR?

Nintendo announced that they would make an announcement this fiscal year on Switch 2.

But their June N.Direct would not feature it, having back half of 2024 switch games.

I traded in a bunch of old games for a bunch of old games (360)

Evil Within

PREY

Dead Island

FFXIII

Watchdogs

The Adventures of Tintin

I was also looking at cheap PS4 games. Regarding PS4, is there anything I should know about different versions? Are they all backwards compatible? We're there any inherent design flaws with particular versions?

What HDD size is good to get etc.

Didn't it have a really short controller charge cable?

I'm most surprised about Tango Gameworks.  I guess the figured there was little point in keeping the joint open without Shinji Mikami.  Then again, in a recent interview he stated he didn't have that much freedom, so maybe he wasn't instrumental to the studio anyway.

Kind of bummed about Tango Gameworks as I did very much enjoy their games. Shinji Makami had left though so not sure how things would have fared though regardless.

Furakawa just said "Switch Next model is the appropriate way to describe it"

When asked if the next gen console was a brand new console or something else.

That is a shame about Tango. I wonder if we'll ever see the continuation of the Evil Within saga now.

That's also a reminder that one of these days I'll have to play ghostwire Tokyo. Assuming I have a console to play it on.

I'd love if the official name was Switch Next Model.

Hey, I just learned the PS4 doesn't play PS3 games sad

Can you buy ps3 digital games that will work on ps4?

Only the ones that have been remastered for PS4/PS5.

I think the only reason PS5 is backwards compatible with PS4 is because Xbox Series did it first.
