    My first intro in VR & I’m in LOVE with the this headset. I cannot get enough of VR. Flat gaming doesn’t do it for me anymore, though.

    I bought mine about a month ago. I was waiting to see if people were saying it was worth it after it had been out for a while. I can say I agree with you and that the headset is amazing. It is my first experience with vr, so I had some very high expectations, but the PSVR2 met almost all of them. I will say the blur around the lenses took a little getting used to, but once you find the sweet spot and get into a game, you practically forget it’s there. I just hope they keep releasing great games and keep supporting this platform.

    One thing has not changed: those who have played and loved the variety and versatility of PCVR will have been disappointed with what PSVR2 has to offer. There is not much to get excited about, and the PSVR2 library while decent on its own just sucks when compared with PCVR's.

    • @linzkirk
      @linzkirk Рік тому +1

      I have both PCVR (multiple headsets) & PSVR2. PCVR has been around since 2016, 7 years. PSVR2 has been around for 6 months. It's definitely expected to be smaller game library on PSVR2. But what is there is mostly great. There's definitely a better games library than people make out. But PSVR2 will never have the ability for VR mods like PCVR, thats why having both is great.
      I was sceptical until I got PSVR2, but instantly loved it. But if you don't own a PS5 already its expensive to get PSVR2 and a PS5.

    Sorry did you say PSVR2 was comfortable and balanced? Hahahaha! I've had to mod mine more than my quest 2. It's was physically painful to wear for anything more than about an hour. I think the design of psvr2 suits maybe 50% of people.
    I have 2 studio form creative VR head straps one sideways and one mid to back and their counterweights to make the back heavier, and also a repurposed kitchen sponge at the front before the headset could be called comfortable for me. ❤
    But no. Out of the box comfort was not a win. Psvr1 has a much better front cushion.

    My first experience of VR, think its amazing. No going back to 2D in GT7 and the reason i bought it. Been really enjoying some of the other games when i can pry myself away from the rig. I have a serious back log of games so yer totally agreed there is plenty. People also need to remember how long a game takes to develop, these AAA games people are complaining a lack of only months into its life would need to have been in development 3to5 years ago for a headset that didn't even exist. The pre outlay would be astronomical and really unrealistic. Ghostbusters is a Sony co developed game so they are working on things. Think some of these reports, especially the false Bloomberg figures are seeded from a competetor. Looking forward to seeing how well its doing now its in retail, i pre ordered mine, everyone who's tried it want one. Some have plunged in so i think its doing well. Nice video 👌

  • @linzkirk
    @linzkirk Рік тому +4

    Ive had mine 2 months now. Before that I had Rift, Rift S, Quest & Quest 2. I hadn't played much VR recently, I find Quest 2 was a graphical downgrade from PCVR I struggled to get high end PCVR games to work well on quest 2 with link cable, to many artefacts and i'm only running a RTX 2080s so lots of frame drops. I was reluctant to fork out for RTX4070 as there has not been much in the way of new titles on PCVR. So PSVR2 made sense as I already own a PS5. It effectively the same price as the Quest 3 will be. Im not disappointed and the excitement of using VR again and feeling immersion is similar to how I felt with my 1st Rift. Loving GT7, over 300 hours in. Games like Synapse show this is a next gen headset with eye tracking and amazing haptic feedback. With Sony 1st party support this could be the best gaming headset n the market. But i'm probably biased as love the PSVR2

  • @cbrads8175

    Bought mine 3 months ago. Bought the best 5 games they have. And that’s about all they have. Maybe 10 decent games at best. Now mine just gathers dust. I don’t know why they can’t give us an open world game. Or a simulator other than driving. Or something other than cartoony looking graphics or black and white colors. It’s almost as if they’re intentionally trying to make it flop. It’s a shame because the good games are REALLY good. Albeit extremely short games. Resident evil took like 12 hours to beat. And it’s replay value is zero. Probably sell mine in the next few months if better games don’t come out.

  • @flamingscar5263
    @flamingscar5263 Рік тому +2

    On the topic of game library, I would like to add games PSVR2 doesnt and likely will never have, because its important to make sure someone who may be comsidering a PSVR2 knows not just about what games they have, but also which ones they dont
    No half life alyx (though Valve would likely allow Sony to port it over, but Valve certainly wont do it themselves)
    No BONEWORKS, stress level zero just does not care about this game anymore
    No BONELAB, this game relies to much on modding and stress level zero has made it pretty blunt that the game downright requires modding capabilities
    No contractors, well this could theoretically happen, but I dont see Sony allowing for modding capabilities like the game has on PC and Quest, which is the only reason I play it, TF2 and Halo VR is just to good
    And the big one, no VRchat, this one is just downright not happening, though maybe, MAYBE it could, Sony seems to be slowly allowing more user generated content based games with Roblox now coming to Playstation, but I HIGHLY doubt VRchat will ever make it to PSVR2, its just a game that feels like everything Sony tries to avoid on their platform
    A few honorable mentions of mods for flatscreen games that obviously, being mods, will never make their way over
    Minecraft
    Half life 1 and 2
    Fire watch (this game in VR is so god damn good)
    Subnatica
    Portal 2
    Left4dead 2
    And a bunch im 100% forgetting

    Waiting a year for PS5 PRO in the hope they'll use the power to remove the need for reprojected frames. This was always the thing that made me sick with PSVR1. I never felt sick with Track Mania Turbo, as insane as that game is, which ran at 120 FPS natively. Although there are some native 120 FPS and 90 FPS games for PSVR2, I really want the headset for triple-A quality games like GT7 and RE8, but without the reprojection. I can definitely wait for the algorithm to be improved, but this is modern PlayStation, so not expecting anything at all to happen in that space unfortunately.

    I'm coming from pc and I'm getting a psvr2 in a few days and let me tell you it's a shame of all the hate this headset receives considering it would be at least $1000 bucks on pc. I went with this over a pc vr headset because of price and overtime I believe Sony will have some very good games and exclusives on this headset. I wish this worked on pc, but I'm not going to bash it just because it doesn't either, considering it's a Sony product and they have their own eco system. I have a beast system, but I'll admit pc vr is still quite expensive to get into. I believe if people give the psvr2 a chance, there's going to be a lot of good games coming in the future! Look how long it took pc vr to get half life alyx, and I'm proud to say I was there for it with my cv1 and quest 2 headsets. I'm just saying give it some time and I believe Sony will deliver.

Because of so many good games coming out. I still play the Psvr2 from time to time and will play No mans sky at least every week now. And want to fin maybe 5 psvr2 games more this year but will probably not have/take time for it.

    I like how in the games section, you don't sound like there's too much conviction in your voice. Almost like someone that knows a rational person looking at the PSVR2's games library might count three worthwhile titles you can't get anywhere else -- Gran Turismo 7, Resident Evil 8, and Resident Evil 4 -- and the rest, they would deem, to be hastily crafted shovelware ports leftover from the Quest. But that's not what bothers me: this is my first and only headset, I've had it since launch, AND I STILL HAVEN'T EVER WATCHED A 3D VIDEO.
    In the process of selling off my Sony stuff, thanks for the waste of money. If only gamer culture wasn't capable of only either contrarianism or toxic positivity, maybe there could have been productive discourse that would have pushed Sony towards doing what every other headset does and connect to a PC, but sadly, gamers are too dumb to use computers, so they stay in the Sony ecosystem and Sony never has to change to turn a profit.
