@kingtito Thanks man! You got a couple Harleys...you're already in the club! :) NICE! That 2020 Plat is something too ;). Those are REALLY nice trucks, my neighbor has one and I get a little jelly with my baby Ranger.

I haven't seen/heard of the 8KX...going to need to check this out.

Why wouldn't you use a Quest or Reverb then? Quest 2 has a great screen w/ virtually no screen door effect and is a few $100. The Reverb is a step above with it's res and screens but its $600.

I have a Fanatec setup with pedals + clutch, sequential shifter and standard H, connected to a Playseat. Its getting a little long in the tooth compared to their newer products but not in a rush to replace anything. Fanatec gear is expensive. I am currently using the Quest 2 and it performs awesome. I like playing Project CARS, Assetto Corsa Dirt etc. You should honestly give it a try once you get your PC setup. I really like racing in VR...so immersive when coupled with a wheel setup.

I am still primarily a 2d gamer but I like tech and gadgets. I have owned a few VR sets going back to 2014 from when I got my hands on a Oculus Rift dev kit. I own PSVR, Rift CV1, Quest and Quest 2. Out of all of them, Quest 2 hands down is the best. For the money...its hard to beat w/ its tracking and the screens at a per eye rez of 1832×1920 90hz refresh rate (soon to be 120hz). The resolution is in spitting distance of headsets that are double/triple the price.

FOV I want it at least 210, I like the PIMAX 8KX but I tried the PIMAX 5K and wasn't impressed and ended up returning it. The 8KX seems to have promise but I need to upgrade my PC before I could use it. Right now I'm waiting on the AMD Ryzen 9 5900x, 3080 waterforce for custom water cooling and we both know how hard it is to get our hands on either of those. I might wait for the gen 11 Intel chip releasing next month.

Yeah I have the SIMUCUBE direct drive wheel with HPP hydraulic peddles, TrackRacer 160 80/20 rig and I recently just purchased 3 Omen 27in 1440 144hz monitors. The only thing missing is a good VR headset.

210 FOV would be sweet man! I get what you are saying there...one thing with the Quest 2 has mediocre FOV...its really small and worst that the Rift or even the Quest 1. It is one thing that actually stood out to me immediately. I actually watched a comparison view of the PIMAX 8k...for as expensive as it is...it didn't hold up to the Reverb and the Quest. Many were quite surprised. Tyriel on Youtube recently did an in headset comparison for it against the Reverb, Quest 2 and 8k PIMAX, spoiler the PIMAX came in last.

Yeah good luck on the PC front, it's a total sh!tshow for parts. I was one of the lucky few who was able to complete a build late last year after the Nvidia 3000 series launch. Ended up doing a custom hardline loop with both CPU and GPU water cooled. Running a 10900k w/ RTX3090.

Your rig sounds bad ass by the way, much nicer than mine...thats for sure! Like I said mine is getting old, its still nice but doesn't compare to the new setups out there.

I still haven't pulled the trigger on Horizon: Zero Dawn so definitely not going to pick this one up..

Good on Sony though, this will surely continue to be a trend moving forward.. Once God of War and Bloodborne come to Steam, I'll likely go ahead with some purchases depending on price and my backlog..

Sony's going to have to drag some of you fanboys kicking and screaming but get used to your precious "exclusivez!!1!" coming to PC.. it's just the direction the industry is heading..

doesn't matter if it's 3.5 years, 2 years, 1 year, 6 months, or shorter.. once the pattern becomes set and PC gamers know that PlayStation titles are going to definitely come to Steam later, there's "no reason to buy a PS5 anymore" for those that prefer PC..

and there's nothing wrong with that.. it's pro-consumer and Sony is still getting paid regardless..

Exactly, great points! Why wouldn't Sony do this? Seems foolish that they wouldn't...I certainly double dipped today. I finally pulled the trigger on this game. I beat it on PS4 and loved it....always said as soon as their was a PC release I would snag it. This was one of my favorite IP's from Sony and for me personally rate it as one of my top 10 across all platforms last gen.

Myself, I waited for the kinks to be worked out but right now, current state..... every setting maxed at ultra, it runs 100+ fps (on the low side) @ 3840x1600 ultrawide. Very prosumer of Sony. I have a high end PC (10900k/RTX3090/custom water cooled hard loop) but I still very much enjoy my consoles on the living room big screen and sound system...these decisions are a win win for me.

Aussie Holden?! The Aussie El Camino? Sweet bud! Won't get the chance to drive that here. I am just stuck with these 3, two for fun and one for hauling my Sea Doo and other water toys. But I do get to rally every once in a while down the street. Live 10mins away from the local rally racing track (pic of me tearing up the track in STI hatch).

@i_p_daily For me it's one cable but I get it...to each their own and it's not for everyone. Seems like a lot of video game racers enjoy VR setups, so I figured you would.

Now for the real life driving, if it's that boring sounds like you aren't driving the right car! :) I drive my cars in "full VR" too but I don't get to rip them up the roads unless I am on some empty back mountain road or track!!

@kingtito: You're talking to a VR nutjob, seriously VR has fried their brains, its a lost cause talking to them, best to mock them and move on 😎

LOL I like VR truly do. I'm waiting for a good headset that I could use with iRacing and to upgrade my PC to be able to run it properly. I still think it's a niche product and most likely a fad but you have a point. VR fanboys are a bit off kind of reminds me of cows just not AS delusional

@Xplode_games: nice meltdown you have there.

Visual fidelity for 4k blu rays is a huge feature set for both systems. Just because you don’t have a high end setup doesn’t mean you should attack the mods.

The only meltdown is between your ears. You're always talking high end but you're the type of guy who makes it rain in the strip club with food stamps.

......and drives there in a 2001 teal colored Honda Accord on rims purchased out of a Jegs magazine with a PS5 hooked to a screen in the headrest.

I've had it happen and I am locked down too on private/friends only. It doesn't happen very often at all tho. I'm talking maybe once or twice within the last few years. The ones I got were some obvious scams you can spot a mile away. The profile pic of some random "enticing gamer girl" with a random message like "hi how are you?" or "hey there how's it going?" I just delete and move on like its junk mail. I don't get those on XBL either....most of my random invites are from my sons friends thinking I a him...as he uses my account sometimes.
