    Great review and set of bits of advice.

    @b.s.7693 Рік тому +7

    Very good and helpful explanations, not only for PSVR2, also for VR headsets in general. One more thing: if your are still curious why 4K in VR isn't that sharp like 4K on a screen, google for "pixel per degree". To give a glimpse: When we talk about the sharpness of an image, we must not talk about resolution, we actually mean pixel density. Also, a VR headset uses a lot of pixel "twice" to create the stereoscopic view (binocular overlap). So in total, you need a lot more pixel in a VR headset to get the same visual quality like on a flat screen. This is why VR needs so much rendering power.

    Part of the problem was Sony using the Social Screen output for marketing footage which is upscaled vs the halved resolution in the HMD (half split for each eye). All the marketing footage looked very crisp from it vs other VR headsets which had direct feed captures. Those of us with PCVR weren't expecting something equal to a 4k tv, yet are still satisfied with price and features.

For sure I like my PSVR2 and the eye tracking experience, the controls, first party games and so. I hardly notice screen door effect and mura is ok for me, but the reprojection is a real crime for a pretty game as Call of the Mountain. Hoping they update this game to run in native 90hz. Pavlov, for exemple, is so smooth in PSVR2!

    So it is good to now how VR2 actually looks and also I appreciate the actual game footage so I can see the quality of the image myself.
    They still use much clearer video for the trailers, sadly.

    Frensel lens. It's the one thing to know beforehand. It causes significant chromatic aberration on the edges of your vision, and general blur anywhere but the very center of your vision. On top of that, the sweetspot is incredibly small and if you don't have a bump in the back of your head for the headset to hang onto, it'll frequently slip out of that spot no matter how tight it is. These two problems combine to give someone like me, who's been playing VR since late 2017, nausea for the first time in VR. Had to return it, despite being excited for my preorder :/

    This is the best “expectations” video I’ve seen on psvr2 so far. I own the headset and from my perspective as someone completely new to VR, if you’re reason for buying was your interest in the experience part of VR gaming then this headset and the experience won’t disappoint you. If you’re used to cranking the resolution and setting up on a high powered PC to get cutting edge performance and results then VR might not be ready for you.
    Also the best advice I’ve heard on finding the sweet spot (and I’ve searched manyyyy posts and videos because it took me days to figure out the sweet spot process) was to calibrate your headset comfort by putting the headset on, closing your eyes, and just making it generally comfortable. Then turning in the headset, shut your left eye and focus on the middle “o” in the “hold the controller” welcome message that floats on your screen. Make sure they “o” is crystal clear. When you open both eyes you should be ready to go. If not, try moving the lenses forward more (or back). Cheers all!

    Good approach to level set. Lots of good information. I'd like to have seen even more discussion of the delta betwen PSVR and VR2. This is the only experience i've had and would love to know the differences....e.g., screen drift (has this been eliminated with inside out tracking? viewing media content was good (theater-like) but the screen drifted), screen door (x% less than PSVR, which had extensive screen door), HDR support (none on PSVR), etc.

  • @SeanLumly
    @SeanLumly Рік тому +4

    "Reprojection" is used by virtually all VR games, is generally turned on, and generally out of the control of the developer (afaik -- there is little discussion on this type of implementation nuance). The developer supplies a framebuffer (or two) to the API, and the API 'corrects' the orientation at the last moment before display (eg. 1ms -- the API also composites data, and corrects chromatic aberration, etc) to minimize latency and disparity between head motion and rendered output.
    I'm curious to see first-hand the PSVR2 ghosting artefacts that others are talking about. Either Sony is using a really strange reprojection scheme (which would conceivably be correctable by a firmware update), or it is a hardware limitation (eg. pixel retention).
    I'm not certain if PS5s VR API allows bypassing reprojection. Allowing raw framebuffer access (or a naive composite) would almost certainly obviate future backward-compatibility, as the app would be displaying for the physical characteristics of the PSVR2 not a future PSVR3 requiring a implementation-specific software port. But there are significant performance benefits to allowing framebuffer access. For example, you can lower final fragment counts by doing lens distortion correction in the vertex shader rather than supplying a buffer that is a multiple of the screen resolution.

    I had my light dimmed down and CotM would lose tracking constantly. Now I have my light turned all the way up when using vr.
    I feel the more used to vr I get, the less impact the stereoscopic 3d has. Like it almost becomes 2d to me.

    Good review. Day one I noticed the reprojection. It’s bad in horizon and I get hand stutter as well. Re village is great but has the reprojected blurr. I’d definitely like an option to run it at 90 w/o reprojection. I’ve also had tracking issues and have had to turn my controllers off and on to fix it. Also, quality of life things like volume adjustment must be fixed. I have to go through several screens to adjust volume unless using pulse 3d but that’s too slippery and falls off when I look up and puts pressure on my glasses. Overall I like it and I think there’s a ton of potential but sony has to fix these issues or it won’t take off

    My two issue I've had with PSVR2 has been the issue with one of the controllers loosing functionality during a game. From what all I've read online, it's widely known and experienced. The cause is being claimed firmware. Whether it's game or just controller themselves. ATM the two solutions till it's patched that I know of is clearing your cache and/or resetting your controller while in game. The second one isn't really an issue I guess since the system was just released, but the available games are few. At least the types I liked on VR1

    Coming from PSVR 1 and trying a friends PSVR 2, I was blown away with horizon, but as someone who doesn't get motion sickness I am really disappointed by battles being on-rails. I wish that was an option for those who want simpler gameplay. I tried Resident Evil 8 as well and wasn't too into it TBH. I played the game already normally, and the floating hands were just so hilarious. The shooting and everything felt really nice, but I wasn't scared with what I played to. It is also a change that you need to light your room well. I am used to darkening my room for the tracking lights to be visible, which I don't mind. I don't have great lighting either though so I'm not sure if it would work in my setup.

    Ryan thanks so much for a thoughtful and very professional explanation of the image quality quirks, no other reviewer has detailed this so far! I’m considering a buy primarily for the Cinematic/120hz mode, as it would fit my living situation well. Is the screen door effect (and other described visual oddities) also prevalent in this mode?

      @@SpeciasThat’s simply just not true. I’ve lowered the brightness to halfway and still you can see plenty of screen door effect. Especially playing RE village and GT7 from what I’ve noticed. Texturing is also not the greatest, washed out colors and low res textures playing horizon. Right up close your hands and bow will look sharp as they are intended, like in the first PSVR. Everything else looks washed out and low res. For me the upgrade in graphics coming off the first PSVR are very minimal. Everything else is a step up, but don’t think you’re gonna be looking at a much better image, because youre not.

      I play many of my flatscreen PS5 games this way (and did with the PSVR1 beforehand, instead of fighting with the BF for the TV) - the screen door is subtler than VR mode but it *is* visible if you look for it so if you think that would bother you i'd not recommend it unless you can try one out. For me it's my first experience with OLED HDR, making it better than our twice-as-expensive 4k/120hz Bravia X90J.

      yes, while psvr2 has great visuals for a vr headset. When a reviewer says it's visuals are great it doesn't mean crystal clear almost real life like clarity. Most VR first timers will think that when a reviewer says great visuals it will think that its crystal clear almost real life like. That's where the misconception is.
      This is great visuals for ~500$ but be prepared and keep your expectations in check when trying VR for the first time. Also for first timers they will complain or be disappointed at things that are fairly common in VR like mura or reprojection.

    First ever VR headset and it's blowing my mind! Insane. Horizon VR is literally mind blowing as a first time vr gamer. I'm 31 and this is my first ever VR game. Only odd thing is the cable is attached to the headset. I'll be pissed if my cable ends up tearing or something. This also seemed like an obvious choice for me since I have a ps5. Although I do worry about how long it will stay supported and relevant. No worries for a few years at least though.

    This was brilliant.
    I loved (still love) my PSVR1. I desperately miss my vast (& expensive) PSVR1 library, albeit mostly because the PSVR2 launch lineup is inescapably barren by comparison, including to other VR systems at-launch.
    The reviews about Gran Turismo 7 in VR, for example, all seem to ignore it's the same experience we've been having in Gran Turismo Sport for years just without the hardware limitations; *design-wise* it's literally identical, giving a very similar experience, even including the same missing in-race data, for example.
    I love my PSVR2 in spite of the "sweet spot" feeling more finnicky this time & the missing content, but right now I'm barely touching it. I can't even test a HOTAS joystick yet, which is outright baffling for the *sequel* VR headset launch from Sony. Can't wait to see the future, for sure.

    Coming from PSVR1, I'm really satisfied with the PSVR2.
    Based on the early reviews, I must admit that I expected much clearer visuals, even though some indoor areas in Resident Evil look so lifelike it's spooky. I'm also one that was never bothered by the mura effect of the first headset, and here it's even less apparent so I have no problem with that.
    I'm a bit disappointed when I get controller tracking issues, as it is the one thing that bothered me the most with PSVR1, and expected the inside out tracking to be flawless. I also miss the immersive feeling of using the Aim Controller, but having the ability of manually reloading weapons is a good compromise.
    Overall I think it's a great upgrade from the first headset and probably the best choice for any PlayStation 5 owner.

Also the display will get updates and games will get better and better optimization. Other than that good video.

    PSVR2 is essentially the width of 1080p per eye (2000px), so in focus and assuming 1:1 final resolution -- which will be game dependent -- it would be like looking at a 1080p monitor up close.

      It is in Length though the pixels of a 4K tv. Don't forget too that the screen is cut in half. From 16:9 to 1:1. So it is indeed a 4K screen in pixel density, but the eyes are too close to it, so it has to not be as clear as a 4K tv.

    • @SeanLumly
      @SeanLumly Рік тому

      @@thesherlockhokage3046 I didn't forget, which is why I clearly stated PER EYE. At 2000x2000 per eye, it's taller to accommodate the FoV needed for VR, but the pixels in both PSVR2 and 1080p screens are square, and the angular size of the pixel each eye sees, is something similar to 1080p from close up.
      The screen is only 4K if you consider the two eye panels as being a a single display. But they are not. As you mentioned, they are cut in half, and each half is designated an eye. In other words, the "4K" PSVR2 display must show TWO distinct scenes. In a traditional 4K screen, both eyes see a single 4K scene. In PSVR2 each eye sees the width of roughly 1080p.
      Calling it 4K is accurate for developers considering rendering fragment loads, but misleading for viewers expecting clarity of a 4K flatscreen display.

      @@SeanLumly Yes but think about it. When you are using a 4K TV, the whole image you have is not judt wider. It shows you more of the game. Now on a square TV, would it show you the same image squashed? Or less of the image to fit the scrèen? If it is the first, then it is only 1080p. If it is the second, then it gooes to 4K?
      Beside that, the vertical pixel count is 2000 pixels in both headset and TV. We have the vertical as same. And the horizontal as half assuming the pictire was squashed to the square.
      What makes the screen 4K then odr any resolution is the total pixels per area.
      So for 4K, it is 2160×3840= About 8.3 million pixels
      1080p or 2K is 1080×1920= about 2.1 million pixels
      This screen is 2040×2000= 4.08 million.
      So it is half 4K and double 2K🤔
