Differences between Quest and PC

[thaddeusburns64]

Hi I'm having trouble getting a clear answer on exactly what will be different/better in the pc version of this. Besides the map getting larger and more open...

Some mechanics like swimming, crafting etc are different as well as the graphics :P You will have to see for yourself once it releases! There should be plenty YouTube comparisons around :)

There will be no Language: Portuguese (Brazil) ???
It was showing that it would have the Language: Portuguese (Brazil). But today 30th was removed, why?

At least there will be Portuguese (Portugal) ???

When you say the crafting differs between quest 2 and pcvr, what does that mean?
Are the differences in the amount of things you can craft? Or are the VR mechanics different / more or less immersive on quest vs pcvr?

I feel my question has not been answered and telling me to wait for someone else to make a youtube video about it to get a clear idea of the differences is extremely roundabout and actually makes me less interested in knowing. I am deciding if and where I want to spend money. You guys don't have a list?

Better wait after some youtube vids are up.
Then you actually know what you are buying.

The difference comparing the bottom-end phone VR version (=Quest 2 using the phone Adreno 650 gpu, part of the XR2 Soc) to the high-end PC version looks beyond massive:

Remember that the Adreno 650 has about 3% (yes, three, I did not forget a zero) of the gpu power of the RTX 3090 ;-) The PCVR version looks like the 2D version in VR - but running the 2D version in VR may pull some teeth, we'll see.

PS. Even an old GTX 1060 is 6 times faster than the ultra-bottom-end Quest 2 gpu:

That said, the PCVR version does look like a game that could make my oc'ed RTX 3090 sweat, we'll see.

Does the Quest 2 version allow you to craft things in more immersive ways with the motion controllers then the pcvr version?

Biggest difference:

Quest is crap and because of that it just adds up more work for devs.

There is a reason quest has sold more units than every other headset combined and has more games...
Had a CV1 and a rift s before it, Quest 2 ♥♥♥♥♥ all over them simply because of the resolution and being wireless, Fact it is a full PCVR headset is the cream on the cake.

Is there content that the Quest 2 does not have that PCVR has? I think that's the biggest question most have. What is missing from Quest 2, it anything?
