But not only is Oculus Quest 2 wireless, you also don't need to rig cameras up around the room like a very unsubtle CIA operative, you don't need a seperate computer or console to run it off, and compared to its peers, it's astonishingly affordable, which it had fucking better be, considering Facebook are backing it, and those motherfuckers can eat loss like it's Thanksgiving dinner. I'm still a great believer in VR - it gives you headaches and makes weird things happen before your eyes it's all the fun of severe dehydration without the chapped lips - but one thing I've always thought holds it back is how you need nineteen cables and a morning off to get it all set up and then you've always got cables stuck in your head, running down your shoulders, killing your immersion, and if your wife walks in while you're nailing VR anime broads and you spin around too quick, you run the risk of hanging yourself, and that's a niche sexual thrill at best. I finally got hold of an Oculus Quest 2 this week, which I've been particularly intrigued by, since I heard it boasted a wireless headset. And you know what's good for video game shooters? VR. And you know what's good for shooters? Civic unrest and dysfunctional authority. So fuck it let's stick some iron sights up our noses and point at people's heads all day, like a rude six-year-old in a boil clinic. I suppose it's technically Shooter Season, thanks to Halo and Call of Duty and Battlefield I know that a season should by rights consist of more than three fucking games, unless you're Leeds United - Could someone who understands sport let me know if that joke made any sense? - but they alone seem to have scared every other big release out of the pre-Christmas sales period. To answer all the anticipated questions: yes, it's a sequel to Differently Morphous, yes, it's only an audiobook at the moment, yes, it's read by me, yes, a print version will be out next year sometime, and no, I don't still wear this hat in real life. I've got a new book available on from December 9th it's called " Existentially Challenged", and it's a hilarious supernatural murder mystery set in a world getting to grips with the British government having declassified the existence of magic. This week on Zero Punctuation, Yahtzee reviews Oculus Quest 2 and Resident Evil 4 VR.
