• #203 | Steam Frame is coming // Predicting Walkabout’s 2025 // Meta Connect Predictions

  Dan is back with Samson to deliver a jam packed show. The Valve Deckard seemingly has a name: Steam Frame, but what is the target audience? 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. LTO Discord:https://discord.gg/WUUQyHZpTh LTO Patreon:https://Patreon.com/letstalkoculusAffiliate Links:META QUEST 3S: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/AZAbLMwn6META QUEST 3: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/5JNKhtiiyRAYBAN Meta Wayfarer: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/JPJtgK6LPRAYBAN Meta Headliner: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/87vVR1nRYQUEST 3 Carrying Case: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/EVzw35SBEElite Strap with Battery: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/9F1EXS9wHElite Strap: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/FuGn77L91Charging Dock: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/9RC9HEGq8Silicone Facial Interface: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/5DTVX8pubActive Straps: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/7Qhfo4FXnLTO Posters:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JhuvaqbxtJmO-io4lvoU4tN9B4CemspK?usp=drive_linkVR COVER: https://vrcover.com Use code: PlayTestVR for 10% off EVERYTHING         Quest Referral Spreadsheet...over 150 games!: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kssKH2L8cSZCwbJ2S6aZQwvbIZsjZ0s1UcCHKotJ3ic/edit?usp=sharing           Want to be part of the show?
