F1 23 VR mode will be exclusive to PCVR (will not support PSVR2)

No I meant Automobilista 2 is infamous for its wholistic and seamless VR integration (and also has stellar Formula modes). If you've been into PCVR as you say I'm kinda surprised this is news. But yeah, I've heard rumors about GT7 also being good
Anyway, to be fair to this topic, I don't think F1 23 VR is a huge loss for PSVR2, I might not even bother to play it on PC in the end. It's mostly a trash franchise to me.
With that said, would it really take that much resources to put in a PsVR2 mode..?
Thanks for being so helpful Mr Big Brain.

Errr.... got to admit despite my protest I wouldn't get it because I already have gt7. It'd be different if I was more into F1 or GT7VR did not exist. As it stands, it seems like I'd be getting a lesser raccing game.
When is the last time codies did a touring car game? Now that I would look into, but again, only with vr.

This is probably a mistake as PSVR2 owners would presumably be interested in a top-tier VR game especially after GT7 was so successful with it.

After playing GT7 in VR, I couldn't care less. That box is checked.

PC getting the exclusive over PS5 for once is pretty damn ironic. How the turntables
it's also a shame on EA's part since PSVR2 integration can't be that hard to skip it over PC. That being said i'd hope they'll add it in an update later down the line
Comparing the two.... Yeah no. GT7 has a long way to go to catch up to what can be done on PC with mods. It's great but don't call it *that* great

Have you actually used PSVR2? Because videos dont convey how good it is.

Meh, I have no interest in this without PSVR2 support.
PSVR2 is easily the best consumer VR headset on the market now and skipping out on it is a huge L IMO.
I have a high-end PC with a 4090 and I still won't be picking this up for PC because I don't support companies taking Ls like this.

Isn't that valid for every single VR game description?
Half Life Alyx looks mind blowing in the headset compared to 2d videos, etc.

As cool it is. I have to agree. The performance sucks arse. I have very little faith in 23.

Not really I guess, given No Man's Sky actually looks way better in the 2D videos than in VR, like one of the complaints comparing NMS from PS VR1 to PS VR2 in a side by side was in no way does it look that good in VR lol (from people who have the game on PS VR2).

Not what i'm talking about. Not the "2d version" vs "VR version", but the 2d video of a VR game. It's better with the headset on. The sacrifices made to reach VR frametimes and resolution, some botched jobs too, is another topic.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that the comparison video that's floating around comparing PS VR1 to PS VR2 is using the off screen footage from VR, that's what I'm referring to as 2D. It just looks way worse in the headset than output to the TV / watched on a PC monitor in a comparison.

This it shits on all those vr racers they are shit compared to psvr2 gt7 this is a money thing.
Sony paid a LOT to make this as good as it is on psvr2

This is what you would expect to see if PSVR2 was a failure.

If we had a thread for every VR game that was exclusive to PC, then we wouldn't have much time to talk about anything else

As a PCVR player, this was too funny! I also have a PSVR2 though lol

I have PCVR with 3080 gaming rig and PSVR2 with GT7, and he is right.
GT7 does have some catching up to do and it's not the second coming of Jesus Christ. You either not playing your PCVR right or you have some sort of placebo effect going on with the PSVR2. GT7 is good but it does not shit all over other PC VR racers lol.

Series is weak for years, no big loss when there is gt7 tough I would probably buy it with psvr2 support, but also quite happy to keep 70 euro ;d

My friend was always telling me PSVR1 was always too weak to run F1 games. I'll ask him again for his excuse about no PSVR2 support.
In my opinion if Sony asked EA politely (and gave them some money to finance the port) it would be possible. And having bigger games is what can get you new customers for your expensive piece of hardware.

It's not even a sim no matter how hard they try to sell it with real drivers playing it. So sim racers being mostly on PC won't apply here. Most sim racers won't be playing F1.
However, after the shit show F1 22 was and seeing how they go full Netflix Drive to Survive style with 23 I'm not interested any more. F1 21 will probably the last good F1 game made by Codemasters.

Where did I say it shit all over PC VR racers?
You don’t win an argument by putting words in the other persons mouth.What I said was that GT7 is an easier, more seamless experience with better graphical fidelity, and is technically superior. I also have a VR PC rig on a 3070 and a Ryzen 5900. In terms of the overall experience, PSVR2 is better.

Well I beg to differ, my PCVR is an easier more seamless experience then PSVR2, graphical fidelity better? Slightly. The PSVR2 user interface with the PS5 is clunky at best. It's not easier and it's not 'seamless' at all. Takes me longer to get into a PSVR2 game then PC. You're doing PCVR wrong.Where did I say it shit all over PC VR racers?

How on earth can any PC build of any game be easier than using a console? All the finnicky bullshit you have to go through to get games running at their max on PC is the reason why I prefer to game on console when I have the chance. At least you concede the graphics are better.

They've already got a VR mode for PC, they only need to adapt it, which isn't nearly as costly. They're also losing customers who only wanted to play it on PSVR2, so I'm not sure how well that balances out. It's not good to exclude finished content from a platform that can support it, regardless.

Unlikely anyone would play this pos over GT7 anyway

They've probably crunched the numbers and decided the time & cost is not worth it. It's also possible that implementing PSVR2 support is not possible at launch due to available resources. With no exclusivity deal in place, I can only assume it's related to one of these issues. Maybe in a few months, when PSVR2 audience grows, or devs have more time, they decide it's worth it and they release an update.

Is this because of resources or sales? How many have Sony sold so far?

270K but sales have slowed down a lot since launch.
How is that letting VR die? Was capcom not putting the RE7/8 vr on pc letting VR die? Was Valve not porting HLA to psvr2 letting VR die? Sony shouldn't be paying to make this stuff exclusive if they don't want to end up in a position where a fuckwit publisher like EA could have the brainiac idea that maybe if they withhold VR modes Sony will pay them for it like they have done with other publishers. Lets be totally honest here, pcvr and psvr2 are never going to be the mainstream of VR no matter how frustrating that is for people who want AAA VR games (like me).

I was thinking maybe this was what it is. Maybe Sony's been paying studios to do VR support or giving them favorable royalty pricing.
It sounds like either Sony or EA didn't want a direct comparison to Gran Turismo here. Either Sony didn't want to pay because they don't want to incentivize a racer that isn't GT or EA didn't want F1 to be compared to VR in Gran Turismo.
I'm still interested to see if Sony is planning any big VR push for GT7 for when the movie comes out. I could see a GT7 VR2 bundle at the time, but I can't imagine a price cut so soon.

Sources ? The headset just released in retails stores, so I wouldn't be so sure about that
