I'm wondering the same thing. From what I've seen, Vacation Simulator is better. The question is it $10 more better?
Standalone Quest is definitely worth it. Just get it and maybe worry about the Link and a PC upgrade some day in the future. There are many games like Superhot and Beat Sabre that just feel 100x better to play without being tethered to a PC or PS4.
yeah, also curious how the updates are handled. i installed custom songs as of mid-november - are the modders usually quick-ish to update? i assume there's no concern of the Beat Saber accidentally updating to an unsupported version since the APK was re-signed in the process.
I'm really happy with mine too! It takes so much pressure off my face.Ok, Studioform impressions! My 'Enthusiast Kit' arrived today which includes both the counterweight wrap (which currently has 4 taped together AA batteries in it) & deluxe strap (which rests on your head under the normal strap and fixes to the top with velcro). I have used it for a couple of hours and I am really happy with it.
The quest has quite frankly been at best uncomfortable and at worst painful since I have had it, I think the longest I have previously played in one go was about 45 mins. I have just played Thumper this evening for an hour and a half and could have easily carried on if I had more time. It took a bit of tweaking to get the fit just right (I basically needed to let out the top strap pretty far) but the padding now makes it so pressure is even (and soft) & the front heaviness is distributed properly over the head.
To be honest, I find it really hard to trust youtube reviews for Quest & VR gear due to the amount of positive reviews there seems to be for complimentary products. As someone who went and purchased this though...it has made the Quest really comfortable to use and means I will be able to use the headset for longer sessions going forward which is really exciting. Playing Thumper was probably the most immersed I have been using the Quest as I was not having to adjust the headset every few minutes.
Also...Thumper is just excellent, very much worth a go at the current steam sale price.
this is even more detailed than i could have asked for, can't wait to read it. thanks for the heads up!
given an update was pushed last night.... completely broken.
the bit I played seemed well mapped. (granted I played more of the pack in 360 mode than not :P)
I had to turn on allow unknown sources in the oculus app general settings to get it to work with steam VR (which is what you have to do for a rift s in general from what I have read)
i got another environment like 2 months ago. I saw it in the options and downloaded it.
There is.... but you will lose all your scores :P
hand tracking was okay. it wasn't worth breaking my oculus link that was properly working though.
Thanks for the info. Looks like BMBF is the way to go, and apparently it's been updated for the latest version of BS :)
I will add to this if for some reason beat saber stops working right via pc, but everything else works because you updated your nvidia drivers (for me it was on a gtx 1070) as well you will need to use ddu https://www.wagnardsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2608 via safe mode with your internet unplugged as well as snag your latest driver again
damn nice.
don't be afraid to look at other stores such as humble bundle and green man gaming. Most of my VR collection has come from those at a significantly cheaper price than steam itself.
Oculus Link Resolution with v12
With the release of v12 for the Oculus PC runtime, we now allow overriding the default Oculus Link Resolution using the Oculus Debug Tool (ODT) which is located under the .\Support\oculus-diagnostics\ folder of the Oculus PC runtime install path (e.g. c:\program Files\Oculus).

Thought it was worth posting the above...it's an official-ish guide for manually tweaking the Quests link resolution options.
Haven't had a chance to try it yet (away from PC at the moment) but have read that it can improve the visuals a fair amount provided you have the PC to push it.
Glad they are adding this, probably will wait to use it after they simplify it as I'm not really computer fluent. I noticed Edge of Nowhere looks very low res on my quest, I'm running on a 2080ti and think it could look better as other games look sharp.Oculus Link Resolution with v12

sounds like linking the ubisoft account is a pain.
