The Thrill Of The Fight Quest 3 Update Looks Great And Adds Mixed Reality

It’s no secret that The Thrill Of The Fight is one of, if not the, best VR fitness and fighting games out there. Of course, this depends on who you ask, but here at Reality Remake I’ve gushed many times about how fantastic this game is for fun workouts and just fun in general.

If you want a fantastic VR boxing experience then there really is no substitute for The Thrill Of The Fight.

While The Thrill Of The Fight 2 still seems so tantalizingly close yet far away as it remains in development, for the time being, the original The Thrill Of The Fight has received a fantastic update for Meta Quest 3 headsets.

The Thrill Of The Fight Looks Great On the Meta Quest 3

Just look at the image below. On the left is the VR game on the Quest 2, and on the right is the same game on the Quest 3.

The image sharpness and quality are lightyears apart, even when you see them on a flat screen. The difference when viewing this environment, and your many opponents, in Virtual Reality as intended is even more mind blowing.

This update uses the increased processing power and superior construction of the Quest 3 to make the game look so much better on Quest 3 headsets. It’s great to see that even with the sequel in development, some love is still being given to the original.

While this might not be anything major like new enemies or new gamemodes, it’s much easier to get immersed in each boxing match with the game looking so much better.

You might notice that some of the opponent models have strange black lines on them in some places, like around the chin. Unfortunately, this makes them look a little wonky. So if you’re still stuck with a Quest 2, at least you won’t have to deal with that.

See the seam on Moneymaker’s arm here? There are a lot of models that are a bit broken like that

The Thrill Of The Fight Mixed Reality Is Also Very Cool

Of course, Mixed Reality and passthrough are also fantastic on the Oculus Quest 3, much better than we had on the Quest 2. Among the slew of additions of MR support and applications, comes a new Mixed Reality mode for The Thrill Of The Fight.

Now you can fight all of your classic opponents inside whatever room in your house you desire, or an actual physical boxing ring if you’re lucky enough to have access to one.

The Thrill Of The Fight in Mixed Reality is a trip, and also just as fun as in Virtual Reality

This Mixed Reality mode does have the usual issues of objects and people in Mixed Reality seeming strangely disconnected from their surroundings.

For instance, if you look closely the feet of your opponents might not seem like they quite touch the floor, but this is still a fun new way to box in Virtual Reality.

That’s it for now, if you’ve got a Meta Quest 3 and want to get back into some VR boxing, now is a better time than ever to hop into The Thrill Of The Fight. Enjoy!
