It's also half the price and does 95% of what the frame does. People who already have a quest 3 have no reason to get this, while for people without a headset it's going to be a tough sell over the quest 3

A complete waste of money unless it's $600, at most. It's already not much better than a Quest and Quest 4 will absolutely obliterate it. Hopefully meta releases a good wireless adapter with the Quest 4 though. Going through a router fucking sucks.

You're going to try all of those things for like an hour and then never try again and you can't even return it. Just buy a Quest 3 from Best Buy or Amazon. You can use it until January 14 and then return it. Tell them it has a dead pixel and they will just take it back.

I have a Pico 4 and i really don't see any reason to upgrade. Same screen resolution, both have pancake lenses, I'm sure the motion clarity will be better, IQ and latency should be lower with AV1 and foveated streaming but at the end of the day it's not that much. You'd probably be best off buying a better graphics card and pushing higher resolutions

The price is going to be the deciding factor if the Frame is going to be worth switching to. I'm surprised by the amount of people indifferent/upset by the Frame's specs. Not just on 4chan where it's people shitposting. If you don't have a VR headset it will probably be worth getting.

It is kind of like the new Steam Machine, it is not meant for the early adopters and enthusiasts. It is about getting the next wave of people on board with a cheaper and more refined version of what was already available.

A lot more people are going to pick up a $500 headset than a $1000 one. A lot more people will buy into a complete VR platform that costs $1000, than will buy into a complete VR platform that costs $3600.
These still aren't even the really mainstream devices. Those are still years away, but when they arrive, they probably won't be better, just cheaper.

To be fair the CV1 controllers are great. There's a reason why basically every headset comes with controllers based on them. The index controllers were overengineered, massive, and nobody gave a shit about the finger tracking. Controller ergonomics aren't hard to get right, just look at Xbox, they've been using what's basically the same controller for like 20 years now

I hope something comes up and it costs more than index
that way, it won't sell out to fags/scalpers and I can for sure get one
I got a deck oled on launch though so maybe I'm worrying for nothing
Q3 was my first hmd and I've used it almost every day since launch
while it's a sidegrade it is totally worth it to me to get Frame for
>dual antennas
>controllers that won't drift 30 mins after replacing stick
I'm actually on the fence about the "moving-away-from-zucc" shit. Don't get me wrong, I hate zucc and facebook shit.
but outside of closing the horizon ad when I turn on the headset it pretty much never bothers me.
Hate the updates that break shit though.
Steamlink currently blows ass compared to Virtual Desktop so I'm hoping when Frame comes out there's more control over the streaming settings.
That's my biggest worry, being stuck on a shitty codec with limited streaming options so normalfags can't complain
and I guess there will be less 3rd party shit at launch but I'm sure that won't last long.

I won't claim to have insider knowledge. All I did was pay attention to what leaked out of Valve over the years about the Deckard project to Linux gaming focused outlets. Maybe the price for the complete Valve VR stack in a box will now be $1200 now instead of the $1000 goal from years ago because of costs going up, but making a more mainstream device to grow the market was the goal. Not building a more powerful top-end enthusiast system.
Nothing about either device points to a sky high price tag. Just well engineered budget systems. Kind of like how the Deck manages to be a surprisingly capable entry-level gaming PC for $399.

>a pc not a console for the cube
Maybe we run in different circles, but modern consoles are often more expensive than entry-level gaming PCs, and the new Steam Machine has very entry-level specs. It is weaker than the current top-tier consoles, and will definitely be weaker than next-gen but those new more powerful systems are racing up market when PC is going budget.

Halo strap does nothing but put the pressure on your brow instead of evenly distributing it on your brow and cheeks and headstrap. It's shit and the industry loves it so much because they have to make headsets that float over women's make up. It also adds weight because not only do have hard strap on the sides but you have hard strap on the brow over the headset. The frame is light as fuck, under 300grams with the facial interface, its half way BSB tier. Quest 2 and 3 were 500g without the headstrap. A halo headstrap is not going to fix that.

Yea that's kind of right but people overestimate how bad the Facebook aspect of the quest is. Beyond making an account, which I don't think requires Facebook anymore, there's really nothing that's zucced. Besides menus sometimes bothering you about the meta verse and social shit, you can completely ignore it.
SteamVR definitely feels a lot more "personal" and less corporate, but how long are you really spending in your VR menu?

The controllers are like $300 and the base stations $200. Before inside-out tracking (the one that uses cameras on the headset) there was base station tracking which was unreliable because it depends on motors and a pain in the ass because you had to set them up in your room perfectly or else they couldn't track your headset or controllers
Nowadays, only VRchat trannies cars about base station tracking

You taking precautions to have your headset not brick shit itself is equally as much of a downside as the headset's software being dogshit. Even when disconnected, you are running two layers of software, you're never removing Zuckerburg's nutsack from your face, the headset is losing performance just dealing with it. A headset that works out of the box with your PC without needing additional software on top, and has good software in general, once you can trust to actually be left connected to the internet, is the better headset.

You don't understand. Both quest and frame are standalone headsets with socs and operating systems. They both wirelessly decode an encoded video stream sent from your PC. This is what adds latency because it's not piped as direct display data from a display port or hdmi or something. There's no way to avoid doing this without going back to wired, and in that case your PC would be doing more work with some tasks that can't be offloaded to the headset and parallel processed, like you have to send the tracking cameras and eye tracking cameras back to the PC instead of just processing it on the headset and sending back numbers. You can also asynchronous space warp / motion smoothing on the headset. TLDR two brains are better than one.

you're correct that it is defeatism
but at this point man it's already over
I'm forced by work to use Whatsapp, so zucc already has me. Microshit teams, etc.
All I'm saying is, the headset really doesn't go out of it's way to shower you in social media bullshit like you'd expect. It's there, but it's elective. (Yes, it's probably spying on me)
If zucc wants to see my room and my dick when I take a piss go for it I guess. I doubt it's doing anything, because even taking a screenshot usually hangs a frame. Recording from the headset causes artifacts, so you'd notice if it was doing it all the time behind your back.

keep on fighting the good fight, but you've missed out on 2 years of a decent headset at a good price and your smartphone is doing 100x more spying anyway

the underlying technology should still be falling under economies of scale.
it's a screen, a lens, a plastic frame, and maybe some mobile phone hardware if it's a standalone unit.
the average amount of phone screens per household is probably slightly higher than the amount of monitors per household (mostly skewed because of dual monitor users).
screens are getting cheaper and better and VR headsets are bloating in price, something isn't right.

i hear bad things about their quality control, 75hz at full res is kind of lame, and no passthrough is a slight bummer but there isn't really anything else to upgrade to without dropping multiple thousands, right?

leaks showed valve was working on a feature to convert flat games to stereo 3D automatically with steam. This would be fucking huge and make the frame stand out from handhelds, and eventually when the ppd and contrast is good enough it would obsolete handhelds and monitors would become electronic picture frames in comparison.

man it's better to just not ask. I'm so tired of hearing from the lighthouse people. The tracking quality can be the same, the issue is occlusion and making sure your controllers are always visible no matter where they are. You need 3-4 expensive lighthouses to make sure occlusion is completely solved and it's shit that doesn't matter like reaching behind your shoulder or your hip and games expect you to have poor precision there and work around it.

I've used passthrough on a vr headset like twice in half a decade. I feel like it's a gimmick that's not for me. The refresh rate issue where you have to pick between refresh rate and resolution is a real one unless you're one of the people that's just getting it for vrchat, in which case you rarely get good fps anyways so might as well go full res

It's why trying to compete with high end specs won't help them much. If they have gone for a premium with $2000 Meta would just release the same for $400 less. Better to compete in a lower price range as Meta selling the same a bit cheaper there doesn't matter that much.

I mean, they're targeting a 2 year old headset and charging 50% more for the same product. I think Valve are delusional, they should've stuck with the lighthouse shit and hoped that people saw it as an upgrade path.

A quick look at the stats shows they're doing incredibly poorly on Steam. Index has a 13% marketshare, while Meta has 60% across Quest 2 and 3 devices. They can't possibly compete with Meta on price, nobody is going to spend 250 more dollars on Valve's clone of the Quest 3. Quest 2 and 3s are doing better than Quest 3, because they're cheaper.

What happens next is that Meta comes out with Quest 4, which is far better than Deckard, for less money than Deckard. Valve have not only lost hard on price and consumer base, they're also probably going to piss off their 13% marketshare, who now have no upgrade path where they could've kept the headset or controllers they had and just bought into a Lighthouse Deckard piecemeal. These people are even less likely to spend 750 bucks on a new headset that's worse in every way other than resolution than their existing setup, because Valve are chasing an audience they can't possibly capture.

Which would also happen if valve went for premium. The can't compete with specs if they don't want to release yearly. The best option for them is to do a all around solid product that isn't to expensive which is what they did.
Maybe they could release a premium version later but for market share this one looks like a good choice.

But Steam Frame is going to be almost as expensive. If Valve went for premium, they would at least have some marketshare. People would be quite happy to buy BSB and new Valve controllers, for example, and they could charge 400 bucks for slightly better knuckles and retards would buy them, because they have 13% of the market locked into the lighthouse ecosystem with no other real controller alternatives. The headset would be tougher, there all they can really do is add better screens to the Index and rebadge it as an Index 2 at the same price point in the hopes of driving upgrades.

Thanks to the Meta Quest, lighthouse just isn't supported across 99% of VR games. It's a wasted investment and Valve realizes it. So they're just refining what Zuck's been doing,

The Meta Quest 3 actually introduced inside-out body tracking where it simulates what your avatar's body should be doing based on the positioning of the headset and controllers, and it did with with pretty impressive results. It not only simulates your legs, but shit like upper body rotation and even has transition animations between standing, crouching and sitting. It did such a good job that a lot of people in VRChat thought I had full body tracking. I hope Valve does something like this.

A small one - see apple. Also a year or two later Meta could just release a higher premium product with improved tech/newer displays/better chip and those premium users who buy because they want the best of the best would just move on.
For those slow release cycles Valve does it's better to do a Nintendo approach where you don't compete with high end.

Frame looks better since key feuture it promises is "wear and play" - no need to setup and calibrate room every time, start software on PC, connect to airlink, start steamvr etc.

The frame isn't just lighter but also a lot more balanced since the battery is in the back. Unless valve somehow fucks the face gasket up then it's assuredly going to be more comfortable

Certainly king, but you should open your mind for the possibilities of the anthro spectrum

>passthrough
you mean it is not color? sure, if you need that shit, but beyond just quick look outside, none needs it.
>hand tracking
it has hand tracking anon
And I must point out again, that is OPEN SOURCE and that means any software will develop extremely fast. Also, do not forge there is a slot for PCIE connection, for even color camera upgrade, mouth tracking or whatever you can think of.
Q3 is usually in most places ~500 dollars but you get cucked by a zuck all the time.
This gives you freedom and it wont be more than 1000.
And ALL you existing game will work. AND you can pirate easily. Only an idiot would buy q3 instead of this.

i'll be honest I've looked over the steam page 20x and watched the tech jesus video and I must've totally missed it having hand tracking
I fucking love passthrough and it's one of my favorite things about Q3. I know I'm the minority but I use passthrough all the time.
Queueing up for a game or waiting for buddies I'm in passthrough
sometimes after VR sesh I don't feel like taking the headset off and I just use virtual screens and walk around watching youtube and shit
Can't imagine it being black&white
I'm not saying it does anything for gaming really, it doesn't. Maybe it would be nice for playing flat games on your couch with Frame. It's not a dealbreaker but I think that's what I'll miss most going from Q3 to frame

>600 vs 1000+ is a big difference.
Again, Index is 700 bucks second hand, nobody is buying that shit from Valve in 2025.

VR on PC has been very open for a decade. No software has been developed. No games are being made. No peripherals are being made. The Index had a little USB cuck window in the front too, nobody used it for anything.

that's bullshit my dude
there are tons of mods
fixes, unofficial patches etc
Obviously not as much as regular computing shit, but to say that VR nerds aren't making stuff is a straight up lie.
they're not making shit on the same level as PC's or phones? no shit it's like 0.001% of the market

I want to play AC7 with full VR support, I got cooked with the PSVR version which was just a "experience" with only supporting like 4 stages; full game wasn't VR.

Fuck PlayStation, I'm going all in with Valve this time, I'll beta test for y'all faggots.

no they're going to release the price when orders go up next year because they don't know what the tariff situation or parts price is going to be with the current state of the economy
it's not a marketing strategy

still good because if there's quest 3 with unjewed firmware, you can get a cheap oculus and flash black man's firmware onto it
steam frame existing is a good thing by itself

That would be a game changer if you could make that work, but I imagine they haven't said anything about it yet because it's really fucking hard. There already is software that does that but it's not great at handling settings automatically last I heard
