This looks like another they should launch on Steam as well to help with the multiplayer numbers since unlike the Echo games it isn't free to start (then again, Quest games tend to sell fast with that audience and unlike Medal of Honor this is for Quest as well as PC, maybe that's why they don't think they have to).

This was mentioned before in passing even in some of the Facebook Connect videos. FB is doing weird (good?) things with the Oculus Quest side of their store. Apparently developers will be able to publish anything (I assume they'll still ban content infringing on other IP etc. as it comes to their attention) on the platform but it will remain unlisted and not appear in search if it doesn't go through the usual curation process, yet still give them functionality like pushing updates and generating keys which they can even sell however they like (but not through the store) and retain all revenue. I guess this is to compete with, replace or one up SideQuest. It seems like something they'd backpedal on if it gains traction and they see it as lost revenue when some dude sets up his Oculus keys store and sells a ton of a good game he made. Or when somebody makes something like SideQuest except it's just a site/store for selling generated keys for all the unlisted games devs put on it. Maybe it's all about controlling or monitoring what they now don't with SideQuest even if it doesn't bring in revenue. On PC it's unnecessary since anyone can release a game in/out of any stores but why not expand this to that side anyway, it's a neat free service option for sure.

So after i buy an oculus Quest 2, oculus link, case, head strap, it's $480.
Am I stupid for going this route instead of getting a reverb g2? I have a very powerful pc, but I've also looked forward to wireless vr for a long time.
I've only had an HTC vive and psvr, and the resolution of the screens were way too low. I want to be able to read text clearly.

Why not see how you like the default strap or what usb cables will be suggested and how they compare to the official expensive one before shelling out for it?
You could also throw it in a backpack or bag/whatever. There may be more urgent accessories to buy (like vr cover stuff, idk how the default is). Just a thought.
If you want stand alone cableless VR (+ PC VR) you've got no real alternatives. The resolution is a big bump from what you've had, if it's enough is subjective...

Various VR youtubers got to play Solaris ahead of tomorrow's launch, they have gameplay, comparisons between the PC and Quest version, Quest 2 gameplay, etc. I can't say it looks too in depth or compelling, epsecially after what these guys did previously on PSVR or compared to the likes of Echo Combat, we'll see.

Solaris is out now. It looks okay, a bit too simplistic (the pitfalls of designing for Quest first I guess) and conventional (compared to Echo Combat for example) and not even very polished (characters animate weird, FPS games solved that issue aeons ago but somehow VR devs can't follow the same principles). It could be fun for a while but I don't see it getting a large following. It's neither deep like Onward nor trigger happy fun like Space Junkies or hopefully Grapple Tournament. Some compare it to classics like Quake but it doesn't seem to have the mobility, depth or skill ceiling.

I just had a great time playing Phasmophobia tonight. The game is pretty effective at scaring the fuck out of you and your friends. You can try calling out its name or asking it questions, but sometimes it answers back...
I have no idea if VR will be suitable for me, as I can see myself getting motion sickness pretty easily. Regardless, I just picked up an Oculus Go as it was only $50. I know it's not nearly as good as the Quest and obviously the major players, but for the price it seemed worth it. I wonder if I'll be able to get Shadow running Steam games on here...
First reviews for Survios' TWD: Onslaught coming in. It seems shit. Nice enough graphics and controls, zero game design. We'll see tomorrow when it releases but yeah. Instead get Skydance's TWD: Saints & Sinners which is ace!

Oculus Quest 2 vs. Oculus Quest graphics comparison: It's way better
The Oculus Quest 2 is a significant upgrade from the original Oculus Quest in many ways, but the performance improvements are easily the most impressive part. Just how much better is it? What we're seeing is just the beginning.

Footage of Population One popping up online with the NDA lift. Not gonna post all of the tubers. It looks pretty decent and decently polished (though not for me, I don't do BR and I'm not a fan of having crosshair in VR FPS, except for arcadey games or arena shooters like Grapple Tournament where it makes sense).

There are two categories more or less, those that use Valve's lighthouse base stations which offer impeccable tracking (of yourself in space and of your hands with the controllers) with next to no real blind spots depending on set up and those that more conveniently use cameras mounted on the HMD to both track yourself in space and track the controllers, which will inevitably have blind spots for the latter but is mostly good enough when done right.
Valve Index is the best overall with good resolution, up to 144hz and controllers that offer buttons, sticks, trackpads and finger/pressure tracking on top. That will set you back like ~1000. Oculus Quest 2 offers the usual Oculus best in class inside out tracking, up to 90hz and pretty great controllers in form factor and convenience that many other competitors have basically copied since they first introduced them. It also plays games without the need for a PC and functions like a VR console if you buy its games/ports from its own store (or get various homebrew stuff). It connects to PC via USB (or wirelessly with homebrew apps but that's not perfected). That will set you back like ~300 and require a facebook account like all Oculus products. The HP Reverb G2 is the only upcoming WMR kit, it doesn't appear to have quite as good tracking as Oculus, will also be 90hz and the controllers are basically Oculus knock offs with some less features, but it has the highest resolution of most consumer VR kits and connects to PC natively. That will set you back like ~600 (~700 in Europe, a bit too much imo).
Edit: the Oculus Quest 2 also has far lesser audio capabilities/quality than the others by default, but you could use any headset you have with it instead.
There are other choices but those are the main ones imo. Maybe you can find an Oculus Rift S (no stand alone capabilities, older revision controllers, 80 hz, but native PC connection, which also means you might have trouble finding replacements parts when you need them) or older WMR kits like Samsung Odyssey+ which probably have more tracking blindspots than G2 as they had less cameras and somewhat worse controllers in build quality and stuff. There are also stuff like HTC Vive (not the Cosmos line, that one is inside out tracking like Oculus/WMR, unless you get it with the external tracking faceplate but it proved to be a failure in that compared to competitors) or Pimax which you can mix and match with Index parts but I definitely wouldn't get anything less than the Index controllers in that case, the old Vive wands are obsolete in design and features. I don't see a reason to bother unless you're looking for high FOV from Pimax.
Oculus Store (on the PC, not Quest side) exclusives tend to be playable on other VR kits with Revive, Steam/Viveport games are generally playable on all kits.
Loads of great games. Older recommendation list (no Star Wars Squadrons, Phasmophobia and some other stuff released since, VTOL VR got out of ea too):
And of course loads of upcoming stuff, AAA like Medal of Honor, Assassing's Creed & Splinter Cell or just cool like Sniper Elite, Vertigo 2 & Grapple Tournament.

Grapple Tournament looks so cool. Where others try and excuse shallow/simple design by claiming it's old school this appears to be a true arena FPS with all that made the classics great. Readable yet cool art (from the levels to the hud, love the crosshair and hit indicator), mobility, map verticality, sweet weapons...

Many thanks Alextended ! I think I'll wait a little bit more and get the Valve Index since it seems like it aligns more with what I'm looking for (since I'm not a big fan about facebook stuff)
And about the games, I really have a lot to research with the help of your list, since I barely knew any games outside Alyx and the usual stuff.
Again, thank you very much, I think you covered pretty much everything I had doubts with
