Not that Gorn is graphically intensive at all, but I'm running with a i7-8700 processor and an RTX 2060 SUPER video card, 16 GB RAM. It will matter more when I play Half Life Alyx.

I got my Oculus Quest yesterday. I got Oculus Link working with the official Oculus Link cable (I ordered it before they enabled Link with the included charger USB 2.0 cable...).

This is a recording of Gorn using the Oculus Quest recording ability. I haven't gotten a PC mirror screen recording yet, so it's a square screen recording from the Oculus Quest, sorry.

Current casualities - controller smacked against desk 3 times, my index finger smashed against desk, my Newton's cradle got knocked to the floor, and the tether wire went flying once.

Anyway, here's Gorn. It's fun. I like the weapon physics, especially when I get the ball and chain spinning. It's pretty awesome. I try not to cheese the fights too much - it's more fulfilling that way.

Comfort wise, the Quest takes some getting used to. I was accustomed to the solidity of how PSVR felt. The face cushion digs into my cheeks unless I bend it out with my fingers. And I really need a larger PCVR space - I'm smacking things way too often. I purchased Mamut VR hand grips, AMVR face interface replacements (which need to air out for a week), and the FrankenQuest pieces are on their way. Shame the Oculus Rift S's were never in stock, I would have just gotten one of those.

At the end, I fumble with the menu screens to figure out how to stop the recording - there needs to be a hotkey for that (found it - hit the Oculus button 5x to get to the Quest's home menu). I don't like how being in Oculus Link interferes with accessing the Quest's more base menus. Otherwise, I don't have any complaints about visual quality. I haven't dove into Beat Saber yet to see how much better the controllers are there. And Half Life Alyx and Dirt Rally 2.0 are on tap.
