Let‘s Talk Oculus: A VR Podcast

Star Wars was okay, Reach was decent, Arken Age is FANTASTIC. Dan and Samson give a full in-depth discussion about Arken Age on Meta Quest 3, discussing the gameplay, performance, level design, weapons, enemies and so much more, because this game has so many little details worth sharing! It’s a complete VR game from the ground up and we’ll tell you why. Elsewhere, Dan gives Remote Desktop on Meta Quest 3 a go.

REACH was Dan’s most anticipated Meta Quest 3 game in 2025, now that it’s out, was it the blockbuster we all hoped? Or does it fail to ‘reach’ expectations… lol. Dan’s over 60% into the game and shares his thoughts on the game, including the performance on Meta Quest 3. Elsewhere, we have a couple of listeners asking about the State of VR in 2025, Samson makes our friend fall in VR and we have some more listener questions on getting to know us!

How does it affect the Quest 3 and would we consider buying one? Elsewhere, Walkabout is celebrating 5 years, we discuss what their teasing 2025 roadmap means. There is a new Steam VR Festival with awards! So we put our Quest 3 hat on and decide the winners. Oh, there is a Meta Connect next week! We discuss 3 predictions of this potentially VR-less event. Finally, Dan experiences the Titanic wreckage and Samson goes Into Black.
