After 1 year I am very satisfied with the purchase. I play far more VR than flat and I have more PS VR2 games than I can possibly play.
Even though I hardly use it I love it. Some incredible games coming this year and Pc support eventually will finally allow me to play half life Alyx
They juste put the psvr2 on pause….not looking good…..it’s too expensive for most people…I have one and I like it but 85% of people don’t wannna pay 800$ for juste a handful of games
Even if I only had Gran Turismo 7 (let alone all the other triple AA and AA games) I'd be happy with my PSVR2.
Absolutely in love with this thing.
Yep mine too
Same here! 😁
I love it!
7 VR exclusives is a CRAZY first year. SEVEN!
1) Gran Turismo 7
2) Resident Evil 8
3) Resident Evil 4 Remake
4) Synapse
5) Firewall Ultra
6) Horizon Call of the Mountain
7) Switchback VR
And 5 out of these are on the "great" end of the spectrum! That's mad.
dude.... you missed the best psvr2 game of them all. NO MANS SKY!!! that changed the game completely in regards to psvr2. If you have not tried it yet, prepare yourself to have your mind blown wide open. all those games in your list are great games, but they dont even begin to compare to no mans sky on the psvr2.
@@orion7741 Oh for sure.. I was listing exclusives, but I agree, No Man's Sky is an incredible game in VR.
Bought it for gt7 only and have played a bunch of other vr games, and i still race weekly with it on gt7 totally worth it for me.
Yeah it’s a lot of fun and very cool…but if you wanna be competitive it sucks…I’m a lot faster on flatscreen
@@allaindaigle1682 I'm personally an A+ driver, so you can still be fast. I can't go back to flat now.
Wouldn't imagine 120fps with a pro model. 90fps though would be great
Really happy with this 1st year. Yes, I wish it was more popular and less of a niche product, but what we have here is stellar. As fans, WE MUST keep buying games and keep it a float. If sales do drop too low, Sony will definitely abandon support as history has shown. I'm praying that doesn't happen!
I got VR cover for mine also. Things so comfortable
Best video to date amazing work!
Great job on this video, mate! Hope you’ll get much more views on it
Amazing first year! Can’t wait to see what year 2 brings! 🎉
Wow I can’t believe it’s been a year already. This thing transformed my gaming. Finally I was getting bored of sitting behind a screen
I really love this headset, wish I could go back a year and experience it for the first time again. I don't understand why you still can't buy the controllers separately though, because eventually they're going to break or start to drift. It's the biggest gripe I have with this device.
Just bought mine Feb 5th,bought a PS5 on Feb 8 of last year. Im glad im kinda a year late but i love it so much
Right on. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. I love the headset, I wish there were applications and social type experiences not related to gaming. In terms of games though, I'm really enjoying it and looking forward to what the future brings.
I can't wait to see the possible Blade & sorcery release on PS VR 2 after it's all updated on Nomad and PC
Great breakdown!
I was surprised you didn’t talk about touch-sensing… If you’ve never used this occasionally-offered option, try it. Boot up RE VILLAGE and I think you’ll find it’s super intuitive and makes throwing knives and reloading guns far easier.
You were right to be confused about RED MATTER… RM 1 is 90 Hz native, RM 2 is 120 Hz native.
Love my vr2 can't get enough 🎉
I'm having a good time with my headset. But I know it could all be improved in a versión 2. Also, need first party AAA games on here!
Yawn
LETS GOOOO
Just bought one last night
The one thing I didn't like about the Resident Evil 8 VR mode is one there's no trophies and two the chromatic aberration it makes everything look really blurry
Also gotta shout out Drums Rock! Despite no kick drum... the game is fantastic and continues to get DLC... slowly but surely. And cheap to get started
lol you're gonna void your warranty?
You mean playstation's ONE YEAR warranty?
a small sliver of our use on it & way before were likely to break it.
the issue is where to get a replacement wire
Just earned a sub
I've used it barely 5 times in the whole year and not used it at all for the last 10 months. I have all the main games. It gives me a headache after 10 mins use (games still blurry) and is still too much hassle to set up and calibrate. I always say to myself that I will play it, but never get round to actually doing so. Also still waiting for that killer game.
If it gives you a headache then try Quest 3 as that should be much better.
Maybe you aren't setting it up properly.
Excellent review. I agree with all that you said. We need more apps. We need the controllers to sell separately and more first-party games. If Sony pulls this out, it would be awesome. Im loving mine and a never played VR so much as right now.
Let clarify the MURA that you see. The Mura can be minimized with green sun glasses. But the Mura is created mainly by the anti-SDE filter Sony used to hide the screen door effect from the OLED display. Similar to what Samsung did with the Odyssey + HMD. Also it softens the image a bit making it a little bit blurry. Is not technically MURA but the behavior is MURA like. is that layer of dirt
I love my PS vr 2❤
Jammy what’s up man hope to be able to play at some point
Been a good year for sure and im sure some solid good indies will keep coming, but hoping for some more big AA/AAA games this year as we all are. Looking at u astrobot!
Do you know boring you sound about the AAA games all the time?
Yeah Day One, I was disappointed with how difficult it was to find a way to make it clear enough. Now two months later I've got a quick habit of getting the sweet-spot straight away. Not a deal breaker at all, but might throw off new and casual gamers.
I love my PSVR2- even after an hour or two when it eventually makes me nauseous. 🙂
I just bought a PS5 and this v r headset With grann turismo 7. It's a bit hard on the eyes, but I think that I'll get used to it.Playing vr driving simulator is absolutely awesome
if you bought one keep it as a collectors item, keep the box it came in also and keep it in a dry area and sell it 20 years from now for over 1000 dollars or more , will be higher probably due to inflation, I got 400 for selling my Virtual Boy on Ebay Auctions I got it when they were getting rid of the stock for like 80 bucks
comparing it to the PSVR1. I totally think VR2 is technical improvment and the games that launch for it have been fun.
looking forward whatever game will come out for it next throughout its cycle.
Just bought mine. Can’t wait to play it. This is my first vr ever. Any recommendations and games i should buy? As a huge horizon fan, I got the call of the mountain bundle.
GT7, Resident Evil 4 und 8, Red Matter 2, No Mans Sky and the upcoming cyubeVR are stellar examples for the PSVR2.
Good in depth review of the first year dude well done.
Did I hear you say you haven't played astrobot rescue mission??? Dude! It's insanely good. It will make you want an astro experience on PSVR2 so badly. It's perfect
i haven’t! somehow missed it on PSVR1, i need a sequel or remake for real
@@Jammyhero I've still got PSVR1 hooked up to a PS4 Pro for Astro RM, Farpoint, VR Worlds, Blood & Truth, Playroom VR, Wipeout and many more that are sadly not on PSVR2. I also have a Quest 3 for everything else. I watch alot of youtube VR on my Quest 3. I love the home environments and apps like Bigscreen.
@@Jammyhero - it’s well-worth playing on PSVR1. If you don’t have one, then the entire kit can (at least in the US) be purchased used/refurbished from GameStop for around $130 last I checked - that’s including HMD, Move Controllers, PS4 Cam, and even an AIM Controller and shipping. I guess that doesn’t include DS4 though… 🤔 so for ASTROBOT RM you’d definitely need that.
If you’re creative at all, then DREAMS is amazing because you can make your own VR games and environments to run around in. Worth it for that alone, imho.
Seriously… Consider getting that old headset - it’s blurrier, but holds up shockingly well. Colors are actually better than PSVR2, although there’s some manufacturing variation with that and with mura, so it’s a bit of a panel lottery.
@@Jammyhero If you don't have a PSVR 1 anymore, I'm sure there are some UK gamecats in your area who'd be willing to have you around or let you borrow their headset/equipment to try out Astrobot. You should really play it, both for your own enjoyment and in preparation for a possible sequel.
@@GreyMatterShades@Jammyhero I am one of those UK based Game Cats. Not sure where you're based, but I get around the country lots, so if you want to spend a month or so with my PSVR1 to try some of those gems, let me know!!
Good thing I'm super handy with electronics and wires. If my cord ever breaks, I'd have it fixed in half hour or less.
Love the psvr 2. I have so much fun with my vr bud with AS2 and legendary tales and and and... Best vr experience for me! ❤🎉🎉🎉
Nice review. i disagree with some things like the lenses (finding the sweet spot is not hard and oled with dark blacks make up for it) ghosting and mura may affect ppl differently cause I barley notice it which is odd. Grip buttons are grip buttons, and they blow meta craps away. Battery life is perspective based (4hours is plenty for some ppl) meta still uses batteries 🤣
But there's things I do agree with we need more gems better Sony support. Being able to buy replacement controllers I mean wtf ☠️ ect ect
Well thats just my 2 cents. Anyway
Keep up the good work!
Im about to get a psvr2 and I'm curious as to if there's any good spiderman like swinging games,would love to hear if you have any recommendations that are on the psvr2 store.
Swarm and Swarm 2
Pc support will be a hell of a boost for it. I have been wanting to use my psvr2 on my pc so bad lol I wanna play half-life alyx with it! Lol
Whoa…what was the psvr2 game with the T-Rex at 25:25?
Epic rollercoasters
The reason they cannot use or did not use Pancake lenses is they reduce brightness with OLED by 60%, so would not be bright, and second, with HDR pancake lenses wont give HDR
short answer, YES!!!! it is very worth it. there is one game in particular that makes the psvr 2, that is NO MANS SKY! that game alone made it worth buying the psvr2. good lord, that game.... it is literally a unbelievable experience and has changed gaming for me forever. flat screen games just dont do it for me anymore after playing no mans sky on psvr2. it is literally the BEST GAMING EXPERIENCE EVER. even better than gran turismo.
In my opinion you are absolutely wrong about the lenses being “outdated” …the OLED lenses are clearer than pancake lenses and support 4k ….the sweet spot is not an issue and you quest dudes keep bringing that up…in fact a PSVR2 can be on your head and playing faster than a quest 3 that has to boot up and log in …I have both headsets so there is no bias just straight up facts from playing hours and hours on both..PSVR2 has better comfort by a long shot…the tiny little quest 3 controllers feel and look cheap… very awkward …PSVR2 controllers are better by a long shot in all category’s except battery…oh and I forgot to mention that the price is the same as well..the only thing the quest 3 has over PSVR2 is the freedom of not having a cord and that’s not an issue with PSVR2 anyway…and more importantly the game developers are going to keep making quest 2 games and then just porting them over to quest 3 with really no upgrades at all…you all do realize that right? They always do this …make the next system and then just make games compatible for the last generation system until you bleed them dry and then start utilizing the power of the newer system …but then the “next” system comes out and we repeat this over and over..it’s almost as if they are keeping the older systems alive while sacrificing the latest systems power and still charging full price 🤣….greed..that’s a whole other topic..I digress
Does anyone know how the mura compares to the psvr1? If it’s no worse then I’ll be perfectly happy but would like to know before purchasing. Cheers!
Mura is quite strong, BUT it is very subjective regarding whether you can live with it. Especially in darker scenes, you can see it instantly, e. g. Resident Evil 4 or 8. But these games are so much fun, so I don't care at all. I know it's there but my brain ignores it because the OLED with HDR has such great blacks, colors, and lights it more than makes up for this shortcoming and looks better than the Quest 3 in this regard. Purple flares, headlights in the rearview mirror, flashlights, sunbeams, just to name a few examples, looks great in PSVR2! Just an opinion from someone who uses both headsets.
What headband do you jammy?
the VRCover headband!
@Jammyhero thank you very much only got the headset a month ago but it keeps sliding off the sweet spot if use it standing up.
I have a good battery pack with 4 usb plugs so mayber able to charge both at once
Hmmm. I haven't played mine in 4 months... just don't love it like I thought I would. And I'm disappointed that I can't watch 360 videos on it... might sell it and see what I can get back for it.
I’m not really bothered about ps5 pro BUT did it improves psvr2, no ghosting/reprojection, I’d buy day 1 but if there’s no improvement, I’ll be very disappointed and probably won’t buy.
That's how I am too. I got the PS5 earlier than expected due to the PSVR graphical boost. I'd buy a PS5 Pro if it boosts PSVR2. I have no need for extra power on flat games cause my main screen is still 1080p. I'd like if Sony can get the dynamic foveated rendering to work on the virtual screen, I'd use it more often to play flat games. It's pretty immersive for some FPS titles. I played PS4 Village through PSVR prior to the actual VR mode release and it was a pretty cool experience.
I ordered one it’s coming in on Monday any game suggestions?
First try demo’s of Horizon&Resident Evil Village
Propagation Paradise Hotel, Tetris Connected, Rez infinite, Thumper, Red Matter 2, Beat Saber, Switchback is a good list to start with;)
@@keesophie got the demo for horizon propagation hotel beat saber from the ps vr 1 re 8 and 4
And switchback
Gran turismo 7,ultrawings 2 and no man sky
@@fistopher7178 enjoy! Already purchase of the year
I’m so terrified I’ll get stick drift and I can’t buy a new controller, Completely ridiculous it’s not been considered to sell separately.
no man sky is so good man i need to buy after i played the free trial
Free trial?
I think the biggest and best looking VR game....1200 hours in it😂😂
Free trial was over at weekend
@@Brasslantern007 oh crap. Only thing that stopped me buying is the steep learning curve. So a trial would have helped make my mind up. Saying that, maybe the trial wouldn’t be long enough to fully understand everything in game.
@@grahamkelly8662the game is customisable,you can play it as hard or as easy as you want.i love the creative mode where you can just explore
If I broke mine I’d buy another. So yeah I guess for me. The games are lack luster though. I play GT7 every day as a sort of meditation.
That things is fuckin huge compared to new VR headsets lol
Need The Last of Us VR
The lack of Backwards Compatibility woth PSVR1 games, lack of great games in general (there are a few 1 & dones) & high price = lack of sales & production has already been haulted. This will go the way of the Vita. Very soon.
Lack of back compatibility is a huge issue with the system, especially for people like me who never had psvr1. I’m desperate to play Skyrim and borderlands (and a few others) on the device, regardless of if they aren’t anywhere near as good as flatscreen counterparts. It would also immediately double or triple the consoles library size, an issue that has turned countless people off buying the headset
@@Liamo051 yep, I would have got one if it was backwards compatible with psvr1 there's plenty of those games I didn't play that are still exclusive to that. Sony shot themselves in the foot with this
@@9ALiTY yeah I agree 100%
Biggest letdown so far is lack of controllers. Shouldn't brick a system if your controller breaks. It's baffling that they haven't sold them yet
I love the psvr2 even over meta quest3 but dawggggggggg not enough games
Hey it’s me goku
Tf I don’t remember writing that shit
Considering Sony said they aren't even making main new games for this whole year I would say its a safe bet that psvr2 will get fuck all VR games or even VR port versions of flat games.Just going to be indies only and port of old PCVR and meta quest games.Oh well hopefully 2025 could be better then a very lackluster 2023 and most4 likely extremely underwhelming 2024.
Omg I’m only 12 mins in and I agree with virtually everything you said
The lenses are poor choice
The ghosting and Mura is horrible
The grip button is incredibly difficult to hold, as stupid as that sounds. I remember playing games and kept dropping my weapon because I’d unintentionally let go and drop weapon. Has to be toggle.
The rings on controllers are annoying and you do and will clash them together, many times, when reloading etc
Battery life is extremely poor. So annoying to play for like an hour check battery life and they on 1 bar.
I just wish that Sony used better lenses. Good knows why they didn’t. Would it really cost that much more?
for the last point, unfortunately yeah for micro-OLED we’re looking at a higher end price like the Vision Pro :(
@@JammyheroQuest 3 has pancake lenses for a price same as PSVR2...would have been better, sweetspot is horrible. But I love my PSVR2 😊😊😊
@kurgan7374 true! but the panels are different, as there’s no OLED on Quest 3 - hence the pancake lenses :)
I hope pancake makes its way to PSVR3 though for sure
@@Jammyhero I’m new to vr but guy below just posted the quest 3 has the better lenses and costs around same as psvr2. Part of me don’t like mid gen refresh on console but if don’t release psvr2 pro with better clearer visuals and everything improved, I’d buy it. I mean can always sell first psvr2
@@kurgan7374psvr1 has pancake lenses?
I like it,I dont regret it ,its still the best headset and game package over all the other headsets,but the fan hype is making up some bullshit reviews and the reality is its great but far from perfect for that price. There are somethings you wont know untill you try,things none of the super fans like to say and some bullcrap Sony needs to be called out on like the missing PSVR1 library for the customers bought a sub par headset,tons of games and supported sony VR from day 1.
These are the games we need in VR:
Pokemon
GTA6
Call of duty, battlefield, arma 3
Pokemon is owned by Nintendo, and aside from the Labo "VR" experiment, I don't think they'll be getting into VR any time soon (though it would be cool). The closest you can get to Pokemon in VR is Palworld (a very popular Pokemon knock-off) on PC is playable in VR using UEVR.
GTA6 will never get an official VR release, for a variety of reasons. First is that it's too technically demanding. Digital Foundry analyzed their trailer and seem very convinced it'll run at 30 fps on PS5 at far lower than 4K resolution. And for massive open world games like GTA where all sorts of hectic chaos occurs, the framerates are often unstable, which is a surefire recipe for motion sickness in VR. On top of all that, it just doesn't make financial sense for Rockstar.
GTA 5 measures its profits in the BILLIONS of dollars. Its userbase is larger than the entire VR market, all platforms combined. GTA 6 is likely to be even bigger. Sony (or any other company) cannot afford to pay Rockstar enough to port their game into VR, because the time and effort of the required developers would be better spent (more profitable) making content to sell to their much larger flat audience. It's a concept called opportunity-cost. Any given person can only do one thing at a time, and Rockstar's employees would make their company more money making flat content than attempting the very difficult task of porting their game to VR. This is extra true since Rockstar is using their own game engine which (afaik) doesn't have VR support (their previous VR game, LA Noire: The VR Case Files, was based off LA Noire which used a different engine from GTA).
Call of Duty is owned by Activision, which was just bought by Microsoft, who seem to have no interest in VR at the moment. Not only have XBox executives indicated they have no interest in pursuing VR, but Microsoft laid off all their VR staff and is ceasing support of Windows Mixed Reality. Also CoD uses its own engine, which almost certainly lacks VR support.
Battlefield could be possible, as the Frostbite engine has been used for VR games (Star Wars Squadrons used it), but EA doesn't seem too interested in VR. If EA did port a AAA game to VR, it's more likely we'd get a port of Dead Space Remake than Battlefield, since DSR was made by the company that did Squadrons. Also it'd be easier to port to VR for technical reasons (map size and openness of environments, no multiplayer, etc.).
Arma could happen, but I doubt they've added VR support to their engine yet (unless its already in the works). Someone on the PC might mod it for VR if the devs don't do it themselves.
Sorry to be such a downer, but this is just the reality of the situation. It's expensive to port games to VR, and with a much smaller install base than the broader industry, not many companies are willing to do it. That cost multiplies if the engine the game is using doesn't support VR. Thankfully Unreal Engine and Unity (the two most popular engines) have VR support (though it's not the best in Unity).
If you want a military shooter in VR, there are a few options. Pavlov is sort of like Counterstrike, Breachers is sort of like Rainbow 6 Siege, and Contractors Showdown looks pretty similar to Call of Duty Warzone.
@GreyMatterShades
Thank you for inquiring. That palworld looks awesome can't wait for it to come out in PSVR2.
I feel like i really wasted my momey on the vr. I literally get motion sick with any game i play and just let it collect dust now. This was my first vr ive ever owned and will probably be my last
how long have you tried to play VR games? I would say give it every other day for 3 months and if your brain hasn't adjusted by then, then you probably can't do VR. The adjustment period can take a while for some people. Just short bursts at a time. I've even heard that Dramamine helps. I know it took a while for me to get used to playing games where you were sliding instead of teleporting around. Have you tried the VR comfort settings? I've been playing VR now since 2016 so I can play anything all day long, no problem. Some of the different VR headsets start to hurt my head though after an hour (pressing on my head) so I have to take breaks for that reason.
I was really sick the first week,then i started playing a little bit each day and by the 2nd week i was over it.not everyone gets over sickness but alot do with playing little and often.this is something vr company's need to explain better
Absolutely not
I'm selling mine, £200
Hell no its a waste of money just like the ps5,and the portal
Voice too quiet, music too loud....please learn how to produce a video.
Complete rip off,will never buy another Sony headset.Lack of support.
