    I tried the PSVR2 for the first time at my brother's place, the experience was beyond anything I had imagined. Playing Gran Turismo was an absolute thrill, especially in his driving sim setup. I'm no car enthusiast or play car games often but, if I owned the PSVR2 with his setup, I would not play any other game besides Gran Turismo.

      This! Most of the people can grow vr legs and vr wings,. It just needs patience, and as you say, always stop when the motion sickness starts. I needed 2 weeks (oculus quest), and now I can play anything for hours. 2 weeks maybe sounds a lot, but it is totally worth it.

      @tomorrowsyoutube7138 I got to say that you can not dive into hours and hours of VR gameplay, but it is fun nonetheless. I wouldn't give up the non-VR games for VR just yet, but Horizon and Resident Evil Village are something else. See if you can test it out somewhere or with a friend, and I would say you will like it. The VR2 is worth the money, seeing how much the PC ones cost, on top of a strong PC. You will get games designed for the PSVR2 so you will never have to worry about compatibility or lack of features. VR games are only going to get better.

    I think, I may have never commented on your videos before, but here we go: I picked it up purposefully to go VR Racing. Got back into racing games 2-3 years ago and tried to inch further ahead in terms of immersion and realism. In that regard I can only applaud the PS VR2. Not only for the quality but also for the pricing. I know, it has been one of the main criticisms about the hardware, but as you mentioned in the video, getting a PS5 and PS VR2 outright, instead of having to get a high-end gaming pc (which alone will set you back as much as the console and headset together) AND then pay another grand or more on compatible VR goggles… that’s just a much much higher entry-point. I would say. Not disregarding, that you’ll still have to pay somewhere around 1200€, just to get started. But as mentioned… VR experience on a PC still does have a much much MUCH steeper-level pricing. All I can say is that gran turismo 7 on the PS VR2 is almost a must for every racing enthusiast, who also appreciates the story and history of automobiles and likes collecting them, while also having a good driving experience. I would get into why I’m not calling it a good RACING experience (at least offline) but that is way beyond what’s been asked to report. Also… the micro transactions in GT7 are just an atrocious anti-gamer crime to behold… thanks for that Sony and Polyphony. But ey… can’t have it all, eh?

    Motion sickness has nothing to do with your stomach but the vestibular apparatus in your inner ear which is there to give you your orientation in 3 d space and help your brain make sense of what it sees in relationship to you and your distance and angle to it. Some people have legitimate issues with processing information that doesn't line up with where they are in space in relationship to what they are seeing. motion sickness is your brain telling you something is wrong between where you are and what you are seeing for example climbing a ledge while both your feet are firmly on the ground...

    I bought a PSVR2 and I really love the hardware. It is my first VR headset that I own.
    GT7 in VR is jaw-dropping.
    I think the biggest worry for me is that a lot of the games I really want to play on the PSVR2 rely on the kindness of Sony's competitors -- a Minecraft PSVR2 update, a Skyrim PSVR2 update, and a Half-Life Alyx port.
    I also really, really want to play Genshin in VR.

    PSVR2 is phenomenal! I've been getting into GT7 and Kayak VR especially. The latter is a real hidden gem- it feels like going on holiday anytime you want, it looks incredible (bordering photorealistic) and you can use it as a chillout or a workout. And I still get a chuckle out of feeling the convincing headset haptics when I hit my head on a low object because I didn't duck far enough.
    My only slight negative with the headset so far is that it sometimes does take a bit longer finding the sweet spot for visual clarity than before, but that is a small price to pay for the massive graphical step up from last gen when you get it.
    Also, cinematic mode looks great now, so I can watch Dune on a (virtual) big screen anytime I want!

    • @huwguyver4208
      @huwguyver4208 Рік тому +1

      @@emyhR there's a few variables as to why PSVR1 might not have looked good for you. If you were playing on an OG PS4 then a LOT of (though not all) games struggled with VR. The OG PS4 is 10 years old at this point after all, and VR has increased processing requirements vs flat screen due to having to render two images at once (one for each eye). Having a PS4 Pro resulted in a significant improvement for a lot of games. PS5 with PSVR2 reduces the grsphical gap between flatscreen and VR even further thanks to foveated rendering and the fact that it was designed to handle VR from scratch.
      Then there was game selection. PSVR1 could still look pretty damn good with highly optimised (generally AAA) games. Wipeout Omega Collection, Moss, Rigs, the modern Hitman trilogy, Borderlands 2 and Resident Evil 7 to name a few all looked great, most of which were also Pro-enhanced. A lot of indie games didn't have the budget or manpower to get the most out of the aging hardware.
      That is a lot less of an issue now with PS5/PSVR2. I can't imagine anyone being dissapointed with the visusls of, say, RE8, Kayak VR or GT7. They are phenomenal. And all the games I've tried are a big step up from PSVR1. Combine that with adaptive triggers and headset haptics and you have something really special imo.

Most seem to be the right one, mine was the left one and with horizon if you can't use the trigger, you can't climb. I have GT7 in transit and not sure what else I'm going to get.

    A pro tip I was told by YT'ber thrillseeker was to put a fan near your TV so you 1) don't hit it because you are passively aware of the location and how strong the wind is to let you know if you are too close. 2) is to help reduce how often you get motion sick because since you feel wind you will likely trick some of your brain into believing that you are moving to some degree and motion sickness won't hit you as hard.
    Personal tip is to have the fan set low enough that it isn't interrupting audio during important dialogue during gameplay/cutscene. While having the fan speed high enough that you feel it

You can even download custom games on it for free and even connect it to a PC or Macbook (I believe) down the line. You are going to want availability of games when you spend so much money on a VR device and unfortunately PlayStation doesn’t have that right now.

I'm super excited for Synapse and the Isaac Asimov game as well. There's plenty of games to keep me busy in the meantime tho. Puzzling places has also been a really relaxing pastime.

    Horizon is a MUST BUY. They have a place where you can go on a boat safari. It’s literally like a Universal Ride with Robot Dinosaurs , it’s so CLEAR and worth it. I’ve road it at least 10 times LOL. I’m was kinda worried, since I”m not a huge horizon fan, but the boss fights are awesome, and I actually like the climbing. They have plenty of parts to keep you excited.
    Also, I have NO FREAKIN MOTION SICKNESS. I’ve literally played VR since it came out, and I always get sick 15 min into it. I played for hours and haven’t felt like throwing up. I’m not saying it’s a fix for everyone, but the frame rate has helped a lot I’m sure.
    RE8 was terrifying. But I’m kinda disappointed on the lack of games. They had so many great psvr games, they should have ported day 1. Obviously they will be coming later.. but it’s worth it IMO>

For me, it's been Synth Riders, Beat Saber, and Until You Fall which offer that kind of replayability that I crave.

    Late to the party, just bought mine in the last 2-3 months. Love it so far. Super comfortable during most play sessions. Not sure if I've just not found the exact spot yet, but sometimes I do feel sore at the back of my head where the band rests and I readjust on and off throughout play.
    Biggest one I've buried myself in so far is Beat Saber. Play that A LOT and it really gets me sweating on the higher difficulties. Pistol Whip gets the heart pumping too. Both are rough with all the ducking I have to do, which tends to shift the headset out of the sweet spot and require adjustment, which isn't always easy mid level.
    COTM is great. Only just finished Sunspear the other day. It was the first game I tried though. But towards the end of my first hour, I felt the nausea and it was a few weeks before I was game to try again. Had to start over coz I could remember how to walk, lol. But damn, if those weren't some gorgeous visuals hanging off Sunspear and staring at the Horus and the waterfalls. Took a bunch of screenshots and finally saw the foveated rendering at work. You can really see in the screenshots where I was looking compared to the rest.
    Most of all, I am excited to get into it now. Have my PC Adapter on order and all the other bits and pieces here ready to go. I wanna play me some Taskmaster VR on Steam. And the expanded track options for Beat Saber have me excited too. So far, a no regret purchase. Even got my brother to try out Beat Saber more than once so far.
    Haven't made it far in No Man's Sky (controls were just so complex compared to controller) and I've only tried two races in GT7. Both made me naseuous, but one was right after my first COTM session. Might just take a bit of practice to get the hang of it. Also might not have been a great idea to race Leguna Seca as my first track. That drop is so much more vertigious in VR.

    My path here was Indian wars on YT a few hours ago. --> Viking ships to North America videos ----> Middle East wars about 1000 years ago ----> Assassins (like the first assassins from the year 1050AD) -------> Saw the Assassins Creed game mentioned in one of the comments ----> Checked out the game. Of which I had 0 clue something like that even existed -----> Platforms that game could be played on ------> Here I am.
    I'm 2-3 times as old as most people who might read this. I wasn't aware of these games. I'd heard of Xbox and Playstation, but didn't know much about them. I can see where this stuff is entertaining.
