Quest 3 with cable or wireless for most accessable

But which is better? with cable or wireless? Could you make a better difference, please? Do you have a link to buy it? (sorry for the inconvenience) I don't understand anything about VR and I'm afraid of buying something bad to play HL. And I really appreciate the time you spent helping me with this. S2

Resident Evil 8 and 4 are amazing. Also, you should try Super Hot VR, Hubris, Red Matter, No Man Sky

The Index's knuckle controllers are a must-have considering the game was made to feel really good with them

The game controls pretty much the same with or without the knuckles imo.

You need a good router to play with wireless on quest 3. A link cable is guaranteed to work well, but then you can't turn more than 360 degrees with a cable.
Also if you're not sure if you're going to be in vr definitely opt out for a quest 3S it's a great entry price (300) so you don't have to break the bank that much

Money wouldn't be a problem, but the choice would be, I wanted something good that wouldn't be replaced easily and of course, compatible with the game. Any current VR suggestions that would be the best choice among the available technologies?

IMO the Quest 3 is the best choice in most categories. The current major headsets are Quest 3, PSVR2, Bigscreen Beyond, and Pimax Crystal Light. Theres also the upcoming Pimax Crystal Super. You can do your own research but in my opinion the other headsets have major flaws that make them not good.

I had the Valve Index, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and have already played for several hours with the Quest 2 and Quest 3.

I now have the HP Reverb G2 myself and am completely satisfied with it. I recommend that you simply test (rent) different VR glasses and see which one suits you best. Recommendations are ultimately only opinions

I'm not sure how practical this is for some people but it's certainly the best recommendation. 'Test driving' a range of headsets is much more likely to result in a successful pairing of headset to user, as people priorities differ when it comes to the various aspects of VR headsets such as resolution, clarity, sweet spot size, audio quality, comfort, wireless capability, controller design etc.

I like the PSVR2, especially if you already have a Playstation. It has some good exclusives, as well as upgrades to games that are on PC. I personally can't get enough of Gran Turismo 7. It's just amazing in VR, and I don't play much racing outside of it. But now that you can play PC games too, it's a hard headset to beat in terms of game selection. I don't follow all of the latest stuff, so I'm assuming there are some better screens out there now.

I could just be way behind now, but I don't think you want to take wireless into consideration for games like this. It's a nice option for the less intensive games. I haven't heard any buzz about wireless keeping up with the graphic intensive games yet.

I like the Quest 3 since i can play wireless anywhere in my house and the pancake lenses are phenomenal. My computer sits in the other end of the house and i play in my home gym room where i have 2x4m space to move around.

If i had a PS5 i would probably buy the PSVR2 as a complement for games with lots of dark environments. Thats Q3s downside. The black level is pretty bad.

OLED displays are definitely better for colour reproduction, especially when displaying dark environments.

Quest 3 man. Pancake lenses are great, resolution is great, wireless VR is great.

Coulda fooled me. The PSVR2 is dog ♥♥♥♥♥. Mura and awful colors at times. Also if it's fresnel lenses it wont matter if its OLED, its yesterdays tech and small sweetspot is pooh pooh.
