In this video, I talk about a few of my overall thoughts after the announcement of the Vive FLOW by HTC. I also speculate about how this device might be closer to Apple's first generation VR headset than something like the Oculus Quest 2.
But who the hell knows?

![PC or PSVR2? - Which is the best platform to play No Mans Sky in VR?
I decided to revisit No Mans Sky on my PC with the Quest 3 and see how it runs these days via Virtual Desktop. Ive previously mentioned how the PSVR2 is (on balance) the best way to play NMS currently, but perhaps I was too hasty in that assessment?
Note: This wasnt originally intended to pit the PC version of NMS against the PSVR2 version, but as my ramblings progressed it sort of turned into that.
[0:00] Introduction
[1:26] Going back into NMS on my PC via Virtual Desktop
[2:32] The PSVR2 version is great, all things considered
[3:41] The PC version has improved with performance
[4:23] Consistency is king
[5:12] Reprojection implementation differences between platforms
[6:30] Quest 3/VD improvements of compression artifacts

![Is this the Reverb G2 replacement? // DPVR E4 Review
Ive been sent a DPVR E4 - a budget ($549) PC VR headset - in order to give a few impressions. It has comparisons to both the Quest 2 and Reverb G2 for PC VR, but things arent quite as simple as that...
Please keep in mind that the answer to most questions posed in YouTube video titles is No.
