New head strap is unfortunately necessary, but you don't need the official link cable, any high speed USB-C cable will work fine, I bouyght one for like $15 on Amazon. You also don't really need Virtual Desktop as there is now an official Steam Link app and it can work wirelessly.Just bought the Quest 3. The audio (both the speakers and the awkwardly located headphone jack) is extremely mediocre and also, this is quite possibly the most uncomfortable VR headset I've ever tried. Despite those two things however, it's probably the best headset I've used as I loved the Rift S and this is just a mega improved version of that headset. I was worried about the visuals because it doesn't have displayport but trying out a few high end games to compare it to the Reverb G2, it basically is a toss up while having way better controllers, tracking, interface, etc.
Slightly annoyed that my $500 purchase turned into an almost $700 one because I felt like I had to buy a new head pad to make the horrible headstraps not dig into my skull, buy both Quest Game Optimizer and Virtual Desktop and buy the official $80 link cable which bafflingly isn't included with the headset purchase unlike literally every other VR headset.
But playing Batman last night made all my gripes go away. The game looks amazing and feels incredible to play and actually feels like a system seller. If Quest 3 had the Reverb G2/Valve Index audio, it would be the GOAT VR headset.
tried the pcvr metro game last night. Kinda bummed out. My experience so far is incredibly mid. The graphics are ver inconsistent. Most textures are confusingly bad. The enemies don’t have proper shadows. The interactive elements are second tier and I hear it’s all front loaded.
Also I’m really considering holding off on games like this and Batman where black levels matter. The next quest HAS to have oled panels. The grey shadows look awful. I’ll play some more tonight but honestly I’m a little more interested in modding Skyrim vr.
Finally ordered a 3S for me from euro Amazon since they sell it for 388 here (as current offer at that, otherwise more expensive) instead of 330. Can't wait!
