    #228 | F1 comes to Meta Quest 3 & Our VR Wishlist

    There isn’t many GOOD racing games on Quest 3, but my gosh, RaceClub is one. It’s only in Early Access but it brings the F1 experience to Meta Quest 3 and they do a bloody good job at it. Elsewhere, Dan and Samson brainstorm their VR game wishes, Samson plays Rumble and Dan get’s his ass handed to him in Iron Rebellion.  LTO Discord: https://discord.gg/WUUQyHZpTh  LTO Patreon: https://Patreon.com/letstalkoculus Quest Games Optimizer https://www.quest-games-optimizer.com Affiliate Links: META QUEST 3S: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/AZAbLMwn6 META QUEST 3: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/5JNKhtiiy RAYBAN Meta Wayfarer: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/JPJtgK6LP RAYBAN Meta Headliner: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/87vVR1nRY QUEST 3 Carrying Case: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/EVzw35SBE Elite Strap with Battery: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/9F1EXS9wH Elite Strap: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/FuGn77L91 Charging Dock: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/9RC9HEGq8 Silicone Facial Interface: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/5DTVX8pub Active Straps: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/7Qhfo4FXn LTO Posters: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JhuvaqbxtJmO-io4lvoU4tN9B4CemspK?usp=drive_link VR 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?

    #224 | Is Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond on Meta Quest a Underrated Gem?

    Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond is one of the most expensive VR projects to date, available on PCVR and Meta Quest, it’s a game that got hit with a bad launch.

You’re damn right it is, we dive deep into the history of this game, and how it plays today in 2026, it’s a VR masterpiece.  PlaytestVR Related Videos: Rise and Fall: https://youtu.be/FxkCMoCCubE?si=ZU5jzRiF6P1WctRP Running on Mac: https://youtu.be/91ch6y2J7wU?si=gDmijFvh2kxLhw7C LTO Discord: ⁠https://discord.gg/WUUQyHZpTh⁠  LTO Patreon: ⁠https://Patreon.com/letstalkoculus⁠ Affiliate Links: META QUEST 3S: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/AZAbLMwn6 META QUEST 3: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/5JNKhtiiy RAYBAN Meta Wayfarer: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/JPJtgK6LP RAYBAN Meta Headliner: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/87vVR1nRY QUEST 3 Carrying Case: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/EVzw35SBE Elite Strap with Battery: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/9F1EXS9wH Elite Strap: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/FuGn77L91 Charging Dock: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/9RC9HEGq8 Silicone Facial Interface: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/5DTVX8pub Active Straps: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/7Qhfo4FXn LTO Posters: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JhuvaqbxtJmO-io4lvoU4tN9B4CemspK?usp=drive_link VR 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?
