    All the information is great, but I'm a bit disappointed you didn't address motion sickness, have some tips for overcoming it, and specifically shout out games that'll be comfortable experiences for people who suffer from it. I know that info is out there in a billion places at this point, but there's a decent chance many of the new PSVR 2 owners are new to VR, and it's absolutely essential knowledge.

      I’d go for the games I recommended for family members etc. like Kayak and Switchback

    • @GreyMatterShades
      @GreyMatterShades 3 місяці тому +2

      @@Jammyhero Even those games feature a lot of motion, and I've specifically heard people feel sick playing Kayak without stabilisation options enabled.
      I'd say the safer options would be games where there's no artificial movement like Moss 1 and 2, Tetris Effect Connected, Puzzling Places, the "Job" style games (Job/Vacation Sim, Startenders, Tentacular, etc.), and any of the rhythm games where you're clearly stationary and stuff is coming at you (Beat Saber, either Box to the Beat or Beat the Beats... whichever one is the good one, I always mix them up).

      I found the snap motion which is supposed to make people less sick weirds me out, because it's so unnatural. A normal turn motion which is supposed to make people more sick actually helps me feel more stable. Not standing helps a lot. I usually either sit on a tall stool so I can move my arms low (as compared to a sofa) or stand with my back touching something like a kitchen unit. Free-standing is asking for trouble.

      Try and eat before playing and you'll be OK i used to get motion sickness when I 1st got the headset last year at launch but I quickly figured out if I had not eating atleast 30 mins before certain games would make me feel sick and if you do feel sick play with a fan blowing at you it also reduces the sickness

    Hand Tracking Tip - If the tracking seems unresponsive or inconsistent, wipe off the OUTSIDE of the ring (where your wrists sit). There are sensors under the plastic that will lose tracking if the plastic gets dirty. A little alcohol wipe works wonders. Thanks Jammy for the beginner tips!

    MOTION SICKNESS:
    If you get motion sickness there are a few things that can help.
    1. The main one is choose the right games. Games like pistol whip, beat saber, synth riders are great because they are in a straight line and don’t cause motion sickness. Games that are slower paced and let you stop moving for a second are also good, these would include games like legendary tales and even some of the tactical shooters as long as you get rid of any head bob or sway and move point to point.
    2. Keep it cold in the room and use a fan to keep the air moving.
    3. Always stand.
    4. Trick your brain by moving your body whenever you move on screen. Shuffle your feet in place or just tense your muscles.
    5. Take a break when you start feeling seasick. Even just pausing and closing your eyes for 30 seconds can help.

    Yess i love it im so happy I own a quest 2/3 and psvr1/2 since launches and I have sunk thousands of hours probably at this point into them and no matter what i always praise the psvr2 above all the only thing that ever makes me say “get a quest 2/3 then” is if they don’t have a ps5 because 1,000+ versus 200-500 and that’s it and it’ll still have the older great vr games “lies beneath, Vader trilogy etc.” is a hard sell but with most people I know already having a ps5 this hopefully pushes them over and coverts them to the vr cult hahaha (and psvr2 is 1000% worth it at its original price!!)

I was on the fence about this because I honestly didn’t have issues with comfort with the headset but the sweet spot of the Globular Cluster, and its ability to KEEP the sweet spot, is worth the price alone for me..The sweet spot is REALLY sweet guys. The comfort is also very noticeable even though I didn’t have issues with comfort on the original setup. I honestly feel like this should have been the stock setup for the headset…It’s that good IMHO.

    I just received mine for the second time. I bought one at launch and the controllers weren’t working properly. Sadly I’ll be returning it again back to Sony. I tried Resident evil, horizon and kayak and can’t play full game. X button doesn’t work, I’m not able to move in horizon, I’m stuck in the pool in kayak and can’t go to other places. I’ve tried everything, resetting controllers, tuning off and on with ps button. This is a big issue not just for me but many others with some YT videos having over 50k views about this issue. Also look on Amazon reviews, a bunch of negative reviews about controllers not working. This is one thing UA-camrs don’t warn you about. Maybe they got the good ones directly from Sony. I was able to play Resident evil beginning scene when swat busts in the house. It was amazing. I really wanted to keep it. This is just a warning that this could happen.

It's amazing how quickly the brain convinces you that you have tentacles for arms 😆 and it's so cute! Looking at the little people close to you face as you grab them and move them to your face really made me appreciate the quality of the PSVR2 from day one. The human brain is easily tricked.

    Here is a tip for you: I don't think a lot of people realise that you can actually extend the PSVR2 cable by 2 metres if you use a good quality, high data rate USB extension cable. I have been using one for months without issue. 3 Metres is too wrong and you will get an error on your screen. And although USB-C cables are supposed to be the same which ever way you install it, in practice one rotation works better than the other. Poor quality cables will fail (I know from experience and had to send a couple of cables back). My PS5 is installed in the conservatory which often gets too hot for a headset that can already make you sweat, so I run the extra long cable through the window and use it in the kitchen. I also installed a USB extension cable for the dongle for an original headset so I could put the dongle in the air to stop the audio braking up. This setup now works perfectly.

    The three things that are really bad about psvr2 are that the mura in dark scenes and the cable that limited the movement and the really small sweet spot, even a small movement of headset when playing cause blurriness. Also, Sony said psvr2 on pc doesn't support eye tracking and foveated rendering. Just why ?🫤

    • @GreyMatterShades
      @GreyMatterShades 3 місяці тому +1

      We don't know why eye tracking and the other PSVR 2 specific features aren't supported on PC. It could be that Sony intentionally blocked it so that there are still advantages to using PSVR 2 on a PS5 over a PC. Far more likely they didn't add software support in the PC compatibility app because it would take effort to implement it, and those features would need to be patched into PC VR games for them to work anyway (which the vast majority of VR developers aren't likely to do unless a ton of people start using PSVR 2 on PC).

    • @andyspoo2
      @andyspoo2 3 місяці тому +3

      A cable means less weight because of a lack of a heavy battery which makes it more comfortable for long periods. It also reduces the lag in data transfer times. Wifi or bluetooth will never have the data transfer capabilities of an actual cable. And you can also install a 2 metre extension cable (I have 1 installed which works well). I have never had an issue with the headset shifting once installed.
