I love OLED and HDR. Sometimes, I'll be playing a game like say, Ghost of Tsushima, and I'll come through some trees or something and get hit the face with sunlight, and actually squint out of habit, because it looks so much like real sunlight. Soon, we won't even need outside because we'll have better graphics on a screen. LOL. Wait..... we already don't go outside. We're doomed.
You play nonVR games on your psvr2?
@@Jactional No. I don't have a PSVR2. I have an Oculus. But I was just speaking in general. I have a top of the line OLED tv that I play on. I also have the Sony Enzone M9 monitor that looks great. I play Xbox SX, PS5, and PC. And, sometimes WiiU.
@@Jactionalbro got that rene raider profile pic
U don't squint bcuz its real sunlight, u squint bcuz its so bright. Just bcuz a TV is OLED doesn't mean it's sunlight is gonna be as bright as actual sunlight
@@JGriffin5150 No, it's out of habit because I quickly realize it and stop. It doesn't hurt my eyes or anything. It's just like when driving and you know the sun is about to come through the trees, you squint ahead of time. Same concept.
Also, who said anything about it being as bright as real sunlight? Sorry, but that was a bit of a stupid point. Just saying. Of course it's not as bright as a giant mass of fire that's hot enough and big enough to heat another mass that's light-years away.
i really like VR... i go excited for this but held off because i already have a variety of games on the quest - but for psvr there doesnt seem to be a lot of VR games and nothing that stands out... the other issue is that you don't have a wireless option... but the main thing that stopped me was the lack of 3d movie support
I've had PSVR2 since day one and as an experienced VR veteran, it's awesome and I dig the games they have for it and look forward to all the confirmed games
100%!!! I have played gt7 every day since launch and each and every time I am still blown away by the immersion. We have heavy hitters in GT7, RE8 and soon RE4. Runner is such a hidden gem!!! At the moment, I am loving crossfire sierra squad soo much. I was really dissapointed by Firewall ONLY by its controllers that is in desperate need of an AIM controller. Crossfire is proof that it can be done without it
@@highpriest90 you should check out both the Pixel Ripped games too
I'm calling bs here. If all the people who say they own multiple headsets really do, then they're all people who spend way too much money on video games and therefore cannot be trusted to give their opinions.
@@JBBost you sound butt hurt my guy. Can you please point out where anybody said they "own multiple headsets"?
So people who play many games can not be trusted for an opinion on the matter. Noted.
I think by this point some where around 50% of the psvr og games should have been worked into psvr 2. Or in some super-smart way to enable the studios to be able to port them to the ps5 as stsr wars squadrons was awesome on psvr and would be nice to have it even just ported to the ps5.
Yes bro! Freakin bought psvr2 to play Skyrim and it’s not even on the platform :/
Yeh, we got like 10% so far, not even close. At this point I think Curated back compat would have been better.
Would be similar to how it’s handled with some classic x-box games.
Would still require the majority of studios to patch their games, but would no doubt be quicker and cheaper for most studios to do that than port the game and go back through certification.
Might be a little confusing for the consumer, but would have given us access to a larger library, faster.
Hoping for it as well. Honestly i kept my psvr1 specifically to play its amazing library ...
Its had 7 VR exclusive releases so far with 1 more supposedly on the way this year.
These are all typically titles with higher than average production values than most VR games with 1 noticeable exception.
I think they have outpaced other platforms for higher production value VR exclusives this year.
GT7, RE8, Horizon, Before Your Eyes, Dark Pictures, Synapse, Firewall Ultra, RE4 R. (yes I know Firewall is a mess).
I imagine this early in its life it might not justify the purchase if you are heavily invested in another platform, but for new releases moving forward it is setting a decent trend.
Re4 is on quest.
@@twatinahatsmith7428 edited the comment for greater accuracy. RE4 R to be precise.
@@Kean_Bean no worries, was being a little pedantic.
@@twatinahatsmith7428yes. He’s talking about the remake. The remake will be on PSVR2. What you questies have is the 20 year old dated version.
Most of those suck
Horizon is a borderline scam at $60
GT7 is boss but I'm right there with you that the window is very small. It needs more exclusives and something neat like haptic feedback game
I love my PSVR2 but for me personally it would almost be unplayable if i didn't buy the third party over the head strap, but everyones different.
the sweet spot issue was my main concern & hope for improvement over the original ps vr headset, that's disappointing it hasn't improved
I found it seems to be really dependent on the game,the big games like call of the mountain and gt7 seem to have a small sweetspot,but other games like star wars seem to have a much bigger sweetspot,so must be down to optimisation
Kun je ook de vr gebruiken op youtube met 360vr filmpjes. De ps4 wil wel met vrheadset1 maar niet op de ps5 met vrheadset1 ?
PSVR has given me some of the most amazing experiences of my life. I really thought backwards compatibility with PSVR2 was a given. When they announced it wasn't, that killed it for me personally and I continued to go down the Quest road instead.
Oof that sucks. Having to play downgraded everything.
@darthvaderthegamecat Slight graphical downgrade, gap is closing with Quest 3 and it has better games.
That sucks for you cause I've had PSVR2 since day one and it's going to be a hard VR unit to beat
@darthvaderthegamecat Having the freedom to spin around in 360 freedom and move to any room in the house in seconds is well worth it. Plus, I just got finished playing Half Life Alex on max settings on my PC, using the Quest wirelessly.
@AdversaryOne again there's a graphical downgrade with any quest in comparison
I cracked the code. Facebook paid off Sony
an absurd amount of money to do nothing.
How can Sony create such an awesome unit
and not have any support to it? And not care
about it? I believe this is the reason that
makes the most sense.
Imagine a PSVR2 with Sony constant communication, updates, Big exclusive titles, VR chat, big screen. I think they could beat out the quest. But yet they dont even try. Seems odd to me
of course. their nazi oculus to control you through the meta needs to do whats best for them.
Got my headset a month ago, and love it. But the mura... I don't know if mura is the same in every headset or if it worse/better case by case. But you definitely stop noticing it while playing vr games, however.. one of the things I was looking forward to with the headset was playing flat-screen games in cinematic mode. Something like dead space in a pitch black oled environment sounded awesome, but for flat games, the mura ruins it for me
What is mura? And can you still play other games on it?
@@awshnap mura is like a grainy effect over the whole screen. Most noticeable in darker games like re8 and synapse.
I feel like mura isn’t an issue with my headset at all, but it’s not as clear as I’d like it to be (especially around the edges).
You would have never known MuRa if someone mentioned it. Stop paying attention to the small bs and enjoy the headset.
@MementoMori_2070 it's extremely apparent on mine. I'm wondering if I have a faulty headset, even on the main screen there's a very visible grain over it. But i have been enjoying the hell out of it, regardless.
Still debating whether to get a psvr2.
I Might just get it for no mans sky, which I love in original PSVR. It would be amazing if its less blurry. The original also doesn't render the MASSIVE base I built very well, either, as huge blocks of it disappear at random.
For me the games most suited to VR are flying games, I love using my HOTAS and VR for Ace Combat 7, but there's only a couple of VR missions, which is a shame. I wish there were more VR flight sims.
Dude, I bought a PSVR2 recently and I gotta say, its definitely worth it for no mans sky alone. When I had set up my headset, I jumped straight into no mans sky but realised the game had to install the new psvr2 update with the enhanced graphics! So, while I was waiting for that to download I decided to hop into the game so I could see the difference between the old resolution and the new one. I cant even describe my shock at how crystal clear it was in comparison when I rebooted the game after the update had installed. It was INSANE. If you're tossing up getting one I definitely recommend it, or just get a Quest 2. I am a bit disappointed at how the game library isn't as huge yet however, I know 2024 and 2025 are gonna big years for releases. I hope the Skyrim VR game comes out soon!
@@prismen5535 Awesome. Thanks for the info. I think Ill get one next payday.👍
@@oliverthompson9922 No worries! Enjoy the headset :) Also sony recently confirmed there are 100+ new PSVR2 games currently in development so hopefully we start getting more releases soon!
Yes no man sky is great,i had it on pcvr and the psvr2 version is easily as good if not better,also in couple weeks ultrawings 2 is coming out and thats great
What wheel and setup did you get, looking to get a setup
I had a very similar experience with the PSVR2. I feel I’ve definitely got my money’s worth so far. GT7 also totally sucked me in; I got a wheel set and stand, too. That game is so awesome. Can’t wait for the PS5 Pro so they can release a version of the game that doesn’t need to have reprojection.
Red Matter 2 is the best looking game I’ve played so far on any headset. At least from the standpoint of being crystal clear, which makes the stereoscopic effect much more compelling. I can’t wait until more of the visually complex games can be rendered at the same resolution.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It was a very interesting video.
What is this reprojection problem ?
@@ebo5388 I only noticed it when I look out the side of the car when overtaking. There was a slight ghosting around the other cars that was a bit distracting. However, turning down the brightness of the headset reduced it. Also, more recent updates to Gran Turismo seem to have improved the image quality in VR, so it’s not such an issue now. Still, I’d like to play the game at a natively rendered 90hz, or even better 120hz, rather than being reprojected from 60hz to 120hz as it currently is. It think a PS5 Pro would give the devs the option of rendering it at a higher resolution. If GT7 was as sharp as Red Matter 2 currently is, it would look amazing.
PSVR2 doesn't have vrchat. Quest 3 has vrchat. That made me choose Quest 3 over PSVR2 immediately.
Never really got into VRChat tbh
My psvr2 headset isnt clear.. everything tends to look holographic. Is this normal? I also get severe motion sickness during games that invokve motion. It's not bad for "stationary" games like moss or beat saber or drumsrock or even for Zombieland. Please let me know about how clear these screens should be. Thanks.
this could be the Mura effect that you are noticing. almost like looking through textured glass?
I really like the headset. GT7 is incredible and has ruined all other racing games that dont support VR for me now. While there are some other great AAA games (Horizon, RE8, RE4), it was pretty disappointing when Sony didnt announce anything else on the way. There are too many low quality Quest ports with really bland graphics that look like mobile titles or budget titles from 2007. There are some greats like Pavlov, but as much as i enjoy it, im reminded of the wasted opportunities from Sony to do a really good FPS of their own or the lack of interest from EA or Activision to do any kind of Battlefield or CoD VR. RE4 is on the way and ill play that, but if theres no news from Sony next year then this device is going the way of the Vita.
2024 has alot of rumblings
Honestly I remember being so excited for mine to arrive I had to distract myself, it worked so well I missed the first day delivery. When it arrived the day after though I was beyond happy with it, but to be honest I don’t really use it anymore. Maybe every couple months, but only on special occasions when I’m in the mood.
Did you really expect to be playing it every second of the day? I've had mine since day one and love jumping into different worlds whenever I want.....then again I get pretty stoned so maybe VR is more of a stoner thing cause all my stoner friends love it
@@mrreefer6792YUP!!!
I think I went a month or two without playing it. But now I’m back on it everyday. I enjoy a lot of the third party games.
Did you expect to play it every day? Be realistic. VR mostly phisical. Just try Pistol Whip and say that it`s not a workout. There is a time & place for VR games. An it is not that often.
Sony have abandoned PSVR. I think thats obvious at this stage.
this headset needs a mid cycle update sooner than mid cycle tbh. lenses need to be pancake controllers that last more than an hour and a half and with the huge rings gone on them also, and the comfort isnt as good as psvr 1 its went backwards . haptics are the shit oled also, face interface blocks all light and linking to pcvr would be good
It’s kind of sad, cause i really like the headset, but don’t see any games to play, cyberpunk would be the ultimate game to port. Hoping we get some new updaters soon
Yeah, everything is tech demos. No exclusive games. Walking around night city in VR would blow my mind.
It is actually as awesome as it sounds. You need a high end pc + luke ross mod but you can have that experience today if you want.
I always wonder why people have such loyalty to a company like Sony that basically F over its fans at every opportunity.
When the praydog mod launches later this year all unreal 4,5 games will be playable in VR on PC. psvr2 will probably get a few AAA games in its lifetime.
@@MementoMori_2070
I would'nt say Horizon is a first step into VR for Sony! They've been doing it for years. Arguably they were doing it much better before too honestly. I have both, still prefer the first one
It's almost 2 months later now. Has there been any news regarding new serious game titles coming?
No just the sound of tumbleweed blowing in the wind.
Imagine claiming any device needs exclusive titles to make it good 🤦♂
F the exclusives, does it hurt when more people can play the same games you're playing?
This is just sad
Ok but if system A plays all of system B's games plus tons more what's the point of buying system B it ultimately doesn't matter how good it is because it's makes no sense to buy system B over system A
@@AzaiaMonota That means you can buy the best system instead of buying an inferior system in order to play some exclusive titles.
I'm waiting to get into VR when there's more experiences like GT7. I want it to be more of a peripheral. Want to play HZD or Cyberpunk with the DualSense? Ok! Want to play them in VR? Ok! Same game. Same save file. I don't really want it for little side game projects. I'm sure it is amazing for what it is though, and GT7 would be unreal for sure. I just need a few more experiences available like that before I'd invest in it. Anyhow, great video mate. Appreciate the thoughts on it!
Do you recommend buying PCVR2 or better to go for Quest 3?
I'm wondering where astro 2 is? Or the F1 game that has pc vr support but not psvr.
Lack of any back compat support is disappointing. Like, there's some class games on psvr1.
I feel like sony are doing the minium to support it.
Been rocking the VR2. I enjoyed the VR1 experience of it before starting back in 2016. I've enjoyed the VR2, waaaaay better to play of course. Love most games so far with it. Except those with snap movement or snap turns. Horrible!. Some games don't have the settings to change movement play styles. We're In 2023!. There should always be a setting to change movement, always!. I also use the VR2 screen to play a lot of games. Gorgeous!. Recommendations: RE: The Village, Demeo(excellent!), No Man's Sky, GreenHell VR and Vampire Justice*. Hella-fun!.
Also if your interested in scary*, Exorcist Legion for VR1. That was the most scary experience I've ever encountered. I was terrified throughout all 5 chapters*. Unbelievably scary!.
@CyberPunkNeonLife I play PS5 on a 96" 4k 1080p projector and have a switch in/out on my cord for 32" small gamer TV when I wanna play regularly. Then I have the VR1 & VR2 for wheneve*. The VR1 & VR2 has the screen in the mask to play regular games* if thats what your asking?.
@CyberPunkNeonLife and Cyberpunk was awesome! ....later on. The beginning of it was abit of a mess lol. But it's great now. 👍 ..Loved it*.
@CyberPunkNeonLife cool cool, alot of people can't handle the VR because of duration and time spent sweating lol. It takes time to adapt so don't get discouraged or leave it collecting dust. Respect the machine! Lol. Your brain and your hands takes abit to get the hang of things. Gotta keep trying. You'll get it. Just remember to take breaks every 15-30mins*. Also VR1 is were it's at. Right now PSVR2 just doesn't have alot of games. ..like good games. Only selective few*. You just have to contact Sony for your VR1 adapter, it's free for you. It's to connect it to your PS5, your PSVR1*. ..It's for your PS4 camera*.
Great information Sir. What if your wear prescription glasses?
I bought one on launch day, and I still use it in the weekends, I love Resident Evil Village, that is amazing, Capcom got it right and more studios should follow adn replicate the idea that make a AAA flat screen game that can be converter with some work to a VR experience, they had great succes with RE 4 remake (with all remakes to be frank, I loved every game they made ever since the first one, btw I am old), and we should be getting AAA experiences in VR that would simply beat the competition that is using mobile chipsets to power their glasses.
And yet the headset "that is using mobile chipsets to power their glasses" allows its users to freely connect it to a PC. Enjoy your little Fisher Price My First VR Headset that can't do anything while I enjoy playing Morrowind in VR for free.
@@JBBost I would have played a lot of rally games like Dirt Rally and now the upcoming Wrc23 but I can not, and the quest 3 owners can for the same price, and not to mention that developers support the quest 3 and psvr2 only gets a few ported games later on, I am afraid that sony will abandon and not support psvr2 in the future, no studios work on big vr exclusives, no ip is transformed to vr. It is a pity, since xbox sucks so bad, ps5 would have a good time if managed right.
If they VR-ified titles like Spider Man 2 & God of War Ragnerok, plunked them in '3rd person' VR and had you play the exact same way with the duel sense controller as you would on a TV, i think more people would be jumping on board.
You'd be gaining stereoscopic 3D, life sized characters and environments, and thrown IN their game worlds, but in a 3rd person perspective, 'behind' your character, like on a TV. I'd also love to see Resident Evil 2&3 get VR-ified, Mega man 11(VR Sidescroller anyone) and many more.
So much untapped potential. It's indie VR City, and i'm getting tired of it.
@@NeonPizzas I got a feeling that the unreal 5 engine is gonna be capable of that no prob -- you just load up the game into the SDK, plop in a headset somewhere, and you're good to go. In fact, I've been playing in Unity with my Quest 3, something which you cannot do with Sony's bs headset
And yes, I will continue talking smack about that headset until I feel like the 250 bucks I lost from buying it then selling it off is paid
I'm tempted to grab it just for re4
It was between the quest 3 and psvr2 for me but after looking at the psvr store which barely has any games, quest 3 was a no brainer
Question. I had the original PS VR Headset and returned it within days of getting it. I got way too dizzy. Is THIS headset better as far as making you less dizzy?
I really doubt it honestly :(
It's probably more down to the software anyway tbh
Some people dont get over the dizziness,but i felt bad the 1st week playing vr but playing a little everyday i got over it
I've not experienced any sickness with the PSVR2 so far
That dizzy feeling goes after a couple hours of playing, the first time it made me sick but you get used to it
Hell, pay these modders out there to full on PSVR2 support games. Get Dead Space in VR dammit.
you maybe could modify them. There was a mod to fit PSVR1 lens on the Quest 2, and improved it. Why did they not just use the clear lenses the PSVR1 had?
I'm hoping a full Ace Combat, which was the best thing on ps4 vr (but a 3 mission teaser), and grand theft auto 6 when it comes out
I try the PSVR2 GT7 in a bugatti, and oh my, the level of detail is impressive. The only thing they missing is more titles to be relevant
Would be good to have assassins creed nexus on psvr2
8 months on and my decision to wait and see about psvr 2 proved to be the best decision. I’m on pcvr and quest 2 and 3 and the psvr2 seems to be a dumping ground for poor ports of games I all ready have via steam or quest store. Really disappointed with how Sony have just dumped into the market and done next to nothing with it. For those that say GT7 is incredible, then it’s time you bought a pc and check out the amazing pcvr sim racing games we have on pc and then you’ll quickly realise how much you are missing out on!
ACC is next level in VR on the Q3.
I bought both a Quest 2 and PSVR2 at the same time knowing I would have a month to try them out and send one back.
I kept the Quest because I have a good gaming rig and PCVR is the best place to play VR for sure. Can't beat playing AAA PC games like Half Life Alyx untethered.
The VR games library is unbeatable esp with all the VR mods coming out.
The icing on the cake for me was Golf plus on Quest which is by far the best golf game by a mile.
@@rodriguezkev Golf plus, hmm. I'll have to check that one out. Tnx mate.
@@HxR-eSports 👍
I have a decent pc with quest 3 and its great but i just recently picked up a psvr2 and iv been using and enjoying it alot more.yes the visuals are not up to pc standards but how quick and simple it is to start playing trumps it everytime for me,i found i spend more time fiddling with settings or correcting an update thats broken something than playing on pc
I have no idea why they haven't ported REVII or Astro Bot. I wish that Sony would put me in charge of the PSVR2. I'd make that thing the island of misfit franchises. Burnout, Twisted Metal, Killzone, Resistance, Jak and Daxter, Siren, Gravity Rush, Shadow of the Colossus, House of the Dead, Resident Evil Umbrella/Darkside Chronicles, Panzer Dragoon. There's so much you can do with VR that would be hardware sellers, and wouldn't even require a huge budget, but big publishers largely aren't going for it outside Capcom, unfortunately.
That said, Gran Turismo 7 (with a decent racing setup), RE Village, RE4, and Switchback alone have been worth the price of admission. I'm glad that Horizon added that Safari mode too, because that game isn't very fun to play imo, but it's cool to show off to people as a VR demo.
I thought Horizon Dawn on the PSVR2 was going to be like the non VR games-that it would be an active experience where I'd be moving around a bunch, swinging a spear, dodging huge robot dinosaurs, and shooting arrows and stuff and when I found out it wasn't going to be that AFTER I bought it, that kinda broke my heart.
I've had it since the beginning too and I haven't even played the Horizon VR game because I'm so bummed about it being this dumbed down "introduction to VR and Sony VR2" showpiece. So It's been sitting there on the system unplayed. I've been playing GTR 7 VR this whole time instead and while that experience is incredible, it's not good enough for me to recommend someone dropping the over a thousand dollars on a PS5 and the PSVR2 to get it. No way. ESPECIALLY with the lack of games and experiences.
Disappointed? I hate to say it, but YES. Cyberpunk 2077 in VR. GTA in VR. Innovative creative experiences that push the limits of the hardware and the software as well as the creative possibilities of the medium. That's what I was hoping for and kind of expected from Sony, but what I think we got was...something else.
It's hard to say what happened because I'm sure Sony invested a ton into the PSVR 2, but I can also see how it doesn't make sense to invest what I think it would take to create true nextgen translations of titles like Horizon or Cyberpunk 2077 much less create new titles. It'd be a HUGE risk dumping tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars or, who knows, maybe over a billion dollars into the PSRV2 and it's games with such a small market. I've never ran a multi billion dollar company and I don't know what kind of choices they were facing, but I am disappointed.
I guess it's still not VR's time to shine. Still too much of a tech nerd's funny looking little goggles market. The last thing I'll say is that looking back on the Quest 2 vs. the PSVR2, I'm surprised at how well the Quest holds up. I LOVE The way the Quest is self contained and untethered and one of the most exciting things to me about the medium is its potential to revolutionize fitness. Also, being able to move around in 3D without having worry about a cable is kinda the way it should be. So big wins for the Quest there as well as being designed for activity. The PSVR2 feels fragile and like it's gonna fly off my head or move out of place if I move my head too fast, but I feel like I can practically do gymnastics with the Quest 2 on which is DOPE. I'd love to see multiplayer VR games that involved running, jumping, dodging, shooting, etc. and could be played in large spaces like indoor soccer fields so you could run around and have giant VR bosses that were like 30 feet tall trying to stomp on you or something and you have to run or jump out of the way...
The PSVR2 needs software. It needs games and experiences and maybe even apps. I'd say call to devs to get on it, but devs gotta eat, so I'm not sure what the solution is. Maybe devs can be subsidized by Sony or crowdfunding? New business model maybe? I don't know, but I still have hope and I'm still not selling my PSVR 2.
Great summary!
Meta wants to monopolize VR before anyone enters market.
Same can be said for PS, they need to waste money to be profitable later
just because you freaking suck and don’t play games stop making a bad review their is resident evil 4 vr, saints and sinners ch1&2, pavlov, breachers sure to get your moneys worth with just those until more come out
Yes even some of the flat games should be converted to 3D big screen games to play in the headset. It's a no Brainer
I think it's a mistake buying in the 1st couple years before there's a library but Sony is the current leader in the VR industry selling more then 1 million modern headsets
Quest has sold 20 million so I'd say meta were the industry leaders by a long long way
My intro to VR was the Quest 2, and the PSVR2 was a worthy upgrade from that. After some months of ownership, I will say I love the hardware and am looking forward to watching it become old and outdated. I love the OLED and HDR combo, as well. What I don't love, is the lackluster game support. So many games need VR implementation but likely never will. I don't necessarily want full VR hand controller and motion gesture controls. Give me a standard controller and let me wear the VR as kind of a freelook helmet. This should be an option for nearly every PS5 game.
I’m waiting for development of software to make it pc compatible. It’s close now working with amd 6000 series gpus and windows
I’ve played hours of vr2 resident evil, synace, gt7, poker stars, Pavlov and ceasefire hands down is one of the best games in reality mode
I'm hoping that with the reboot of Silent Hill with 3 new games coming soon that at least 1 will have a PSVR2 exclusive mode.
I bought mine at launch but sold them last week. I was let down by the lack of backwards compatibility, and even more by the inability to watch 3D blu ray on the gorgeous OLED screens. I will probably buy Quest 3 instead - even though I prefer the PSVR2 hardware.
🤣🤣🤣 you are lying you didn't buy the vr2 stop it
I haven't seen much good games or I would buy. Great video!
I agree Sony needs to have developers step it up for PSVR2 if they want to stay in business with them.
Bro which is best over all psvr2 or oculus quest 3 i also have ps5 and rtx 4090 pc which should i take overall❤
Both obviously
@@mrreefer6792bro i have only 600$ which will be the best for me😂
I will do a comparison video at some point. But it will depend. If you have a powerful PC the quest 3 may edge it. You get loads of great games via steam. Pancake lenses which are far superior and you can play wireless with Remote Desktop. I think PSVR2 is most worth it for people without powerhouse PC’s.
@Mr.PS5x seeing how your name is "Mr. PS5" obviously the PSVR2 😆 besides the PSVR2 is hard to beat
If you have a strong gaming rig, pcvr is the best.
8 months later and i still feel like it's worth buying just for the incredible mind blowing experience i had with RE: Village. Might as well throw in RE4: VR mode which is slated for this winter which is guaranteed to be another PS SVR2 must-have. ;)
I barely touch my PS5, unless it's for VR2. Pancake gaming is getting quite stale, having been gaming since the late 80's. I still love Nintendo, but i could definitely do without PS5 and XSX these days. They lack the soul, fun factor and magic that graced the Nintendo & sega consoles that debuted in the late 80's & 90's. PS1 was phenomenal too, but Sony hasn't been the same ever since PS2 launched.
Pancake gaming == filthy flatters... they are almost subhuman I'd say
They do need some new bangers imagine Spider-Man in vr
Any open world game would push so many units TBH
Ok but I have a question if I’m on the quest headsets and I whant to move on to the psvr is there any way to transfer games to it
The prediction I had was that no backwards compatibility was going to be a massive hurdle. Everyone kept arguing that "the technology is different" or "devs will port them eventually"
To focus on the last point. Asking the many devs to port their games to psvr2 is a pipe dream. You really expect capcom to port re7 to psvr2?
While I wouldn't hold my breath...I have to say that I wouldn't entirely surprised to see at least some devs do a port or add psvr2 support to some of their vr games. I certainly wouldn't put it past Capcom with RE7 and Bethesda with Skyrim (lol).
Well they have already with village and will be with re4
What kills it for me is the fact that you need to be attached to your ps 5 to use it!!?? I can’t square that
Also got mine from day one, but just bought a quest 3 because the awesome games arent' coming to psvr2. Psvr2 best vr experience for gaming, quest 3 more games and alot of other stuff you can do. But i have not sold the psvr2 yet!
Fair enough summary of PSVR2 so far although I would say the launch lineup of over 30 games was pretty impressive.
I played GT7, Horizon COTM, Kayak VR, Moss & Tentacular as well as the free demos for the first few weeks then started to build a decent back catalogue of VR2 games.
We've also had quality ports like Red Matter 2, Hubris, Walkabout Golf, Saints & Sinners 1 & 2 and decent exclusives like Synapse & Switchback and more will come.
OK recent releases like Ghostbusters & Foglands have been poorly reviewed but will get better with patches and updates and many more to come like Vertigo 2, Wanderer and don't forget Resi 4 VR mode soon!
Let's not forget these AAA games like Horizon COTM can take a couple of years (at least) to make.
I would like to see an Astro game in 2024 and some sequels to PSVR games like Farpoint and Blood & Truth and some AAA Sony bangers.
The PS5's library of exclusives is anything but 'massive'. Especially if you substract all the uninteresting stuff, like announced only titles and rermakes; then there's just about 11 left.
VR is still a niche market so the major developers probably don't want to invest in something that's not going to give them the returns. Still, we live in hope. Really love Horizon and No Man's Sky, GT is very impressive but I'm not really much into racing. The horror games just freak me out too much, I don't like them.
Psvr2 is brilliant glad I bought it day 1
Same 😁
Cannot see any mention of no mans sky VR in the comments which is TRULY AMAZING❤
Jim Ryan was the strong silent type, hopefully the new regime will announce what hybrids are in development- wipeout, twisted metal, ace combat 8 etc
Apparently ace combat 8 is years away,probably around the end of the current gen life cycle.
Hmm thats a shame. Well thats the problem isnt it, its all rumour and speculation. I think the strat was to max 3rd party support by giving them a clear run at year 1. Of course, the poor quality of green hell sweeper etc has kind of hurt that. Vertigo 2 and Bulletstorm should be awesome tho 🤞🤞🤞
Can this be a replacement for a OLED gaming TV for non VR games ?
No way
So what is like playing fortnite on it? I know its not vr but im curious to what it looks like
If I was SONY, I would have made PSVR2 fully pc compatible from the start, with all the bells and whistles, with haptic feedback, adaptive triggers and full steam compatibility, and this would have appealed to larger audience, for the sim racing community that use ACC and Iracing, Dirt Rally 2.0, EA WRC 23, and for the Half Life Alyx fans, they would not have lost on this from the PSN ecosystem users at all, for example I use my ps5 headset and controller on PC with xbox game pass games, they have no problem with each other, why am I not able to plug my PSVR2 in my PC and buy a game on steam and play it?
Nobody with a PC would buy much Sony games if they did that. Steam has way better prices, selection, and return policy.
OLED is the key for me. I don't have PS5 I don't have PSVR2. I have 2 WMR headsets on PC - an old Samsung Odyssey (not the Plus) and an HP Reverb G2 and I would rather use the Odyssey despite the screen door effect and despite the lower resolution. This is because of the OLEDs. I have not updated the VR again since the G2 because all the newer headsets are LCD and I don't trust them to deliver a better experience than the 6 year old OLED of the Odyssey. I am very jealous of the reported excellence of the PS5 PSVR2 GT7 visuals.
Gt7 is great but its not as sharp as pcvr racing games iv got,its got a faint blur to it which is slightly disappointing but its still a great game
@@robertmcmahon4549 That's interesting. From a lot of other reviews and comments I thought that GT7 with the PSVR2 was exceptionally clear.
I think it depends. You need to make sure you can get sort of games on PSVR2 which you like. For example I love FPS and I absolutely love playing Pavlov on PSVR2. I am also broadcasting because PSVR2 is so cool
I've had the quest and have psvr2 now. I miss the quest. I would use it in bed. And having no cord is great.
I bought it when they first came out with it , for use with Grand Torisimo 7. When it worked , it was amazing . The problem I ran into was it did not work consistantly. Sometimes no sound, sometimes can’t set the play area, etc. . After spending untold lost hours fixing each glitch I finally had enough and no longer use it. I’m an older tech geek but no longer am challenged by fixing things. At this point, I expect that once it works it should always work unless something actually breaks. In the end, VR is not ready for prime time . What’s the use of having an expensive Italian sports car if it constantly breaks down ?…………ps - can’t even make an expensive VR to work and we’re worried about AI taking over the world ?…really??
Hi guys can I use a psvr2 as a pc headset for my rtx 4090?
No
Yes
They dont make many full scale games in VR. Its like we get Resident evil and something more. Then the rest is just small 3d party games completed within 30mins.
I dont understand when some one mentions it lack of exclusives. if you have a great game but it isnt exclusive is it a problem ? Cant you just enjoy the game ? lol
Valid point. However Sony has so much great gaming IP that it would have been great to see it on the PSVR2
I'm hoping to about to buy the vr2 maybe
I really want one, but the fact there aren’t any big multiplayer titles apart from GT7 is a let down, everything is a port, remake or indie title with one play through. I wash they had a decent title like an Overwatch or alike which had a community and additional content to keep playing and invest in 😢
Came here to see some opinions about the psvr2 because the recent fnaf game released on it, think it might gain some traction sense it is only available on this and one other thing
Horizon looks amazing gt7 wow first game ...what about astro bot or starwars squardron or wipeout in 4k comeon dam it
Pancakes do not work with oleds as the screens arent bright enough,thats why quest 3 uses lcd panels.Mini oled is ok for pancakes but that pushes up the price of the headset to beyond psvr2 territory
Really dont see the obsession with oled,i would have preferred the clarity of pancake lenses like my quest 3.i love the psvr2 but so many games have a small sweetspot or slightly blurrry graphics that it puts alot of people off
Psvr2 as the parental to be the best headset on the market
Its terrible fresnel lenses will keep that from ever being the case. The Quest 3 has already taken that crown forever.
@@mitchellp7739with its crappy lcd panels...if you want blacks and colours what pop you need oled.Psvr2s fresnel lenses aren't great but it's colour and brightness levels are great so buy whichever you prefer but each one has pro's and negatives
Returned mine within the week I got it. No reason talking myself into all the shortcomings.
Valve should port Half-Life Alyx to the PSVR 2
Guarantee they're keeping it back as an exclusive for their upcoming standalone headset
I heard it's coming to PC. So I'll probaby wait 6 months, and see if they announce more games before I purchase one. I purchased the the PSVR1 and enjoyed it for a year and then collected dust. So I've been on the fence about 2. Hopefully it finds more sucess on PC, but Idk with all the layoffs in the industry that just happened. We will see.
I would be beyond impressed if Sony managed to get some good games onto the psvr like the quest, contractors, blades and sorcery, breachers, ghosts of tabor and such, they’re amazing games but just such a lack of selection makes me stay far away from psvr and just stick to my quest, it’s selection is the only thing holding me (and it) back. I got the first psvr and was so disappointed with its game selection
I thougt (PSVR 1 owner from day one) for stuff like Beat Saber or a game you got a lightsaber, the PS3 controller ist perfect. But the new ones are so much better...
I really only want one to play gran tourismo on
Bought mine off a mate at work not long after launch 😂 and I’ve already sold it. Shame Sony seem to have forgotten about it already. Only enjoyed re8 village, gt 7 was confusing and disappointing sold that game a few days later never liked gt anyway. Played a demo of horizon but I don’t like the main series sold it 3 months later. No roadmap for future releases no psvr1 games made compatible so it felt like the vita to me which died the year it was released.
I suppose that this situation is a direct result of being an early adopter. Some people are quick to jump in the bandwagon while others wait and see. It's probably just a matter of time before we see more offerings for the PSVR2 and who knows, there could also be a PSVR3 which would address some the hardware issues. This being said, thank you very much for this video! Many of us depend on early adopters before making a decision. :)
i love my vr2 more than the rain 😂
Why is no one talking about the sense controller issues within every game?? They don't/won't connect half the time and 100% the No Mans Sky is unplayable with the sense controllers. Why is this not fixed yet????
Never had an issue. Maybe you have a faulty pair
Can i ask what its like to play non vr games with the psvr2
did you find a answer please remind me if you do
@@kiruanax its a screen of the game you are playing you will also see the black all around it if you try to use the vr part in say fortnite. You can change the screen size as well so instead of a tv it can be used like it sort of! Sorry if im bad at explaining
I wanted to play Ace Combat 7 on vr2😢😢😢
The lenses are really annoying. And i wish they made more stuff that you dont have to move your arms and hands.
I mean just give us Aces of Thunder already. Or another proper flight sim. Really looking forward to RE4 tomorrow. And there are some seriously promising titles about to drop. But as of today, I have been supremely disappointed in the games. I want Aces so bad. I thought for sure they’d have a proper flying game by now.
I opted for a quest 3 and im glad, i do pcvr and its epic playing modded vr titles re 2, 3, 7, 8. Half life alyx, half life 2. Standalone is cool too though but if i didnt have a pc i wouldve maybe gotten the psvr2 which imo the library sucks. I would only want one to play titles that i can probably count on one hand lol so for its price it was an easy pass for me.
I'd like to buy a PSVR2 Pro headset tailored for the Ps5 Pro. GTA6 VR is the only game that matters ❤❤❤
Honestly… GTA 6 VR would be a game changer. I’d buy that game twice
@@ItsSamuelJonesNice, because I've heard some rumors it will be twice as expensive compared to other games 💩
Oh dear 🫠
Wasn't Gran Turismo a playdstation2VR exclusive?
My point is there hasn’t been any since. Hoping for more
It so cool and i have been playing on more than ps5 like modern warfare rise of the rohnin but now it broken but i bought the ps5 and it has less better graphics
I really regret buying mine, especially now the resale value is like half the price I paid for it. GT7 was a highlight but It just doesn't excite me playing Quest ports on my wired, PS5 powered headset.
Sonys laughing straight to the bank with our money. I expected vr games from Ubisoft, rockstar etc, at this price $560. But we get cartoony tech demos like work simulator 😂
@@MementoMori_2070 obviously you don't own a PSVR2
Imagine adding GT7 to PC and PSVR2 PC support. Wow, so much money
its a shame this headset does not work with psvr1 games like star trek bridge , Titanic etc
Same here, good games have dried up for VR. I dont use mine anymore
Just got assassins creed nexus on quest. That’s great. Arizona sunshine 2 looks like a blast aswell
