So I bought a second hand Reverb G2 in mid-November and of course a month later WMR was announced as deprecated.
I’m eyeing up a second hand Vive Pro 2 that includes the base stations. New this is retailing for NZD 2200, but I can grab it for NZD 1400. I’ve also considered the Pimax Crystal, which I can just afford, but it’s NZD 2900 and I’m a bit put off by it using a battery pack and still using proprietary software.
I’ll be using it primarily for simracing and my thought process is that the Vive at least has a steam app so if HTC stops supporting it I’m not completely screwed like I am with the Reverb. Pimax is different because their software is completely standalone as far as I’m aware. So is it worth saving 50% or so and getting something comparable to the Reverb, or am I selling the Crystal short?
There have been rumors that PSVR 2 is coming to PC this year. Havent personally used it, but it seems like a with upgrade over the WMR headsets. Inside out tracking, good controllers. I just hope the software side id things are solid.
No real answer for your main question sorry OP. Maybe a quest 3 would be best, it supports SteamVR link wireless connections now.
I hope so, then Microsoft will open source WMR for sure to keep people from switching to those.
I… don’t forsee them doing that. Id have my money on piles of new ewaste.
