im confused, its specs are amazing and on paper is more powerful than the meta quest 3, but its mainly being advertised as a streaming headset that goes from your vr spec pc (that is becoming more and more expensive these days for people).
so can it play games natively on the headset or not? i want to get it for my birthday as i see it as a worthy sucessor to my quest 2 that is amazing, but its controllers are drifiting to an unrepairable degree.
imagine no mans sky on it :0
Yes it can be used standalone, however Quest games are built for the Quest. Frame games are PC games translated to ARM. That’ll unlock a lot of games for standalone use, but I seriously doubt it’ll have the resources for something like NMS to run on it’s hardware.
NMS specifically I think might work. It can run on some pretty low-end hardware on their lowest settings, so you might be able to play locally on the Frame.
It’ll need to be some very low settings to hit 4k @ 90fps minimum. Sacrificing frames or resolution in VR is a non-starter. I wouldn’t say it’s impossible, but sounds extraordinary craptastic to me.
Yeah, I once had to play NMS on low settings, before I had a GPU, and it’s not an especially good-looking game like that. The Frame will probably have better specs than my stop-gap Ryzen 5600G build, but it’s definitely a game that’s more immersive with good hardware.
If the ARM translation ends up being something that can be done to run Steam games on Android that would be so cool.
