Pros
Pro Classic Quake gameplay for modern times
Quakespasm is a port of the original iD engine for Quake with modern systems and conventions in mind. It adds correct 64-bit support, modern controls, bakes music in the game instead of asking for a CD, etc. Quakespasm Rift builds on top of that codebase to add Oculus Rift support.
Pro Low resolution of the game helps VR immersion
Due to Rift not having high resolution capabilities (as compared to a monitor), the game with its dated graphics just naturally translates better for playing on the headset.
Cons
Con VR may cause nausea
There are some sensory information mismatch issues created by the in-game characters movements and players stationary position as well as the sheer speed of the gameplay that can easily induce nausea.
Con In VR skybox moves with head movements
Can be fixed with high resolution texture packs that replace 2D sprites with 3D models.
