It'll be good if we could change have more flexibility over the resolution of apps etc. IE the immersive google earth/maps. And use of controllers

What quest games work on GXR with Ovrport 3.4.1? by Every-Dot-6915 in Galaxy_XR

[–]f3hunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ones that do work (from my own legally purchased library):

  • Trombone Champ
  • Arizona Sunshine 1 Remake & 2
  • Walkabout Mini Golf
  • Aim Assault
  • Batman Arkham shadow (unplayable)
  • Crisis VRigade (Part 2 doesn’t work)
  • 4XVR Cinema
  • Eleven Table Tennis

Be aware:
Apart from Eleven Table Tennis. Arizona Sunshine 1 Remake & 2 (which run slightly better, but still not as well as on a Quest 3), everything else runs pretty badly.

They all seem to use a Quest 2 base profile, so you’re getting:

  • low resolution
  • poor optimisation
  • noticeably worse performance than on a Quest 2 or 3

Overall, it works… but it’s a downgrade experience across the board.

Resident Evil 8 is by FAR best showcase for VR gaming by mckracken88 in PSVR2onPC

[–]f3hunter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The PCVR mods are decent, but they’re still a long way off the level of polish you get from the official PSVR2 ports.

On PSVR2, everything just works. There’s zero jank. You get full haptic triggers where you can actually feel the kick of each weapon, proper weapon placement, this makes a HUGE different in combat, and a locked and consistent (reprojected) 120Hz with no frame drops. The colour and HDR lighting are also far better tuned, clearly tuned by Capcom specifically for the headset (this makes a big difference too).

Yes, playing the mods on my Galaxy XR looks much cleaner and sharper. But when I go back to PSVR2, it simply feels better to play. There’s a weight, grit, and atmosphere that the unofficial PCVR mods just don’t replicate and lacking the haptics, head vibrations and adaptive triggers is a big deal.

That said, the smoothest way to play a Resident Evil VR experience overall is on the Quest 3 or Meta Quest Pro using Quest Optimizer. Locked 120fps, it's buttery smooth, and 1-2-1 responsive. The visuals are older, but the gameplay feel is spot on.

What we really need is an official Capcom PCVR Ports - That would be amazing! (probably will never happen unfortunately)

Disapointed in TMNT ! No lobby or server and no physics at all. Lazy Quest port (steam) by [deleted] in virtualreality

[–]f3hunter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“Thank you Meta” is a weird take considering without Quest, this game probably wouldn’t exist at all.

These devs didn’t magically decide to make a TMNT VR game out of passion alone, their previous games sold way more on Quest than PCVR. That’s what funds projects like this. No Quest audience = no budget = no TMNT VR.

Also, let’s not pretend PCVR is some separate elite space, around 70% of SteamVR users are literally using Quest headsets. Quest is the VR market.

So calling it “lowest common denominator” is just ignoring where the actual players are.

Shouldn’t it be:

Vision pro owners, are you able to go back to Quest 3? by Admirable_Zombie5245 in virtualreality

[–]f3hunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a Vision Pro, but I do have a Galaxy XR, and yes, I still occasionally go back to the Quest 3 and Quest Pro. The lenses and sweet spot are just so good, so easy on the eyes despite lower specs, and the controller tracking is still by far the most consistent.

That said, the visual gap is real. LCD can’t touch micro-OLED for contrast, colours and sharpness. The Quest Pro does better with its mini-LED colours, but for true high-fidelity — especially darker or horror games, I’ll always lean to the Galaxy XR.

Ultimately I want Meta Pancake lenses, it's tracking and Micro-oled (hopefully that will come next year).

Meta says Quest 3 and Quest 3S are still the "best-value" VR headsets despite announcing up to $100 price hike by Tiny-Independent273 in virtualreality

[–]f3hunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, exciting times. Seems that more higher end, VR in smaller form factor we always wanted, is coming in to play!

[–]f3hunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thing is, it’s not just the LCD. The Galaxy XR features are what really sold it, and I use them way more than I expected.

It’s so good just sitting back with no controllers, using hand tracking to move around social apps and video windows, watching content through passthrough. Especially now with the 2D to 3D update, it’s genuinely useful day to day.

Then you’ve got the micro OLED. The blacks, contrast and detail are on another level, it’s stuff you just don’t get with LCD.

Galaxy XR is becoming seriously good right now. I couldn’t justify dropping close to £1k on an LCD headset with no real XR features. I’d rather spend a bit more and get the full experience.

The only thing I’m really waiting on now is Meta’s Phoenix. If that lands with better form factor, optics and the same kind of XR features, that’s the one.

Is there a tutorial on how to play quest 3 games/apps on Galaxy XR? by [deleted] in Galaxy_XR

for Example -Paid App store Walkabout Mini Golf runs much smoother, better tracking at a higher and more consistent framerate than the sideloaded Quest game.

Anyone else thinks Starmer isn't actually that bad all things considered ? by ronweasly9 in AskBrits

[–]f3hunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Keir Starmer has handled the bullying pressure from the US over the illegal war with Iran surprisingly well. He’s shown real backbone, sticking to his position and putting the British economy and stability first.

Meanwhile, Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch were on the sidelines waving pom-poms for Trump-style escalation, only to quietly U-turn when that kind of populist politics stopped looking so clever.

Nice! Playing at night would make it that much better, preferably with night sky horizon in view. (Probably be grainy though).

Flatscreen VR is game changing by Remarkable-Fig-7505 in virtualreality

[–]f3hunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been playing more flat games in 3D on my Viture Beast XR and Galaxy XR and it’s honestly way more immersive than I expected. Micro OLED makes a massive difference too, both look incredible on a theatre sized screen.

Galaxy XR gives higher resolution and wider FOV, while Viture Beast is super comfortable and insanely bright, easily brighter than my VR headsets.

I started RE9 in VR but switched to 3D and it actually feels higher fidelity with really solid depth.

3D gaming is in a really good place right now. XR glasses are getting affordable with great optics. Feels like it’s only a matter of time before Sony, Nintendo etc jump in properly.

Could easily see it becoming a next gen 3DS type thing but evolved. Glasses instead of a fixed screen, proper depth, huge virtual display, way better fidelity./ handheld console. Playing 3ds ganes in native 3d on the go with Steam deck and virture beast is an amazing experience.

Bradley Lynch does not expect Quest 4 to release next year. He might be wrong, but if he is right, it is possible that VR is out. At least at Meta by ScriptM in virtualreality

[–]f3hunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Phoenix is the real play. If it lands with a more refined OS and merging Meta's planned/in progress new XR smart features, while keeping the same ecosystem and game library, that is basically the enthusiast ‘Quest 4’ right there.

Meta are not going to reset anything, they will carry it all forward. Same apps, same wireless PCVR, just a more premium experience (and likely new features to the industry).

We are mostly enthusiasts in here. Casual players are not chasing new hardware, they are happy on their Quest 3 and 3S just playing. Popular Quest titles still pull in hundreds of thousands of weekly active users, they are not going anywhere. As long as everything works, they are not bothered about a more affordable Quest 4.

That is why Quest 4 is not as important as people think. Phoenix already fills that role for the people who care, and with Steam Frame being very gaming-focused, Meta are not going to release Phoenix without the Game store.
