Sony is not serious. This is a glorified public beta for their VR ambitions.

I think they are going to have a heavy marketing campaign where these games are shown at the best angles. It's clear Sony is aiming to have a big launch with many games available at launch hoping that it will be more than enough to attract users and to keep them in as they release more games. They have a bundle featuring what I assume is going to be their best launch title, Horizon: call of the pension, and that will probably be the highly in each advertisement for the PSV2.

Sony knows they can't put too much AAA on PSVR all at once while they still need to sell PS5's, they will have the other studios make PSVR gradually, while they get third-parties to cover the gaps. Several of which will be exclusive.

I’ll never get VR stuff because of needing to put goggles in and the types of games seem all low budget $30 games.

But for you experienced VR gamers who’ve played VR games from years back to the latest Quest 2 games, are the games over the years much better in terms of meat and potatoes? Or it just the same kind of games but just have better visuals and frames?

Just trying to gauge if AA and AAA kinds of games are hitting VR or if it’s just the same kind of stuff.

Honestly, I haven't see any real innovations for MOST VR games since the 2014 reboot compared to the 90's VR stuff, the only different other than obviously better graphics technology, and arguably worse control options, is that the the FOV is better. I also noticed that as VR was dying down back then the headsets were getting smaller or at least more comfortable to where, when VR came back it looked like we were going backwards. We are still using oversized headsets. Even the cheaper VR games then were at least trying to be somewhat ambitious, many VR games now are the bare minimum.

so they did it before when they released the updated version (hence the ZVR2 instead of ZVR1 on the box) so why would THEY NOT do it again for VR2?

Ohhhh my bad. Didn’t realize they updated VR1. Interesting.

 

[Certinty]

If I remember correctly playing normal PS5 games is only in 1080p through the headset too? That’s a bummer.

 

[MacReady13]

Switchback looks great! I loved Rush of blood and so happy to see another game in this series! Sign me up! Price is high here in Australia but I'm a big believer in VR gaming and really love it so count me in on day 1.

 

[kyliethicc]

I hope so. You'd think they'd want to market it as a device that's more than just "experiences"

That's how I felt when they announced Call of the mountains. But now it looks like we're back to square one

idk

Jimbo gave me an "experience" once and it was the best night of my life

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Food for thought....

PSVR (headset) was $399 and behind in tech when it launched in 2016. $500 with the controllers.
Today that's about $618.
PSVR2 is $550 (headset + controllers) and state of the art tech.

Why is everyone freaking out? lol

Exactly, price is not bad tough this 11 games presented today are good for standalone quest not ps5 + psvr2 combo that should show new vr quality.

 

[DenchDeckard]

The price is fine if it had a line up of killer apps, which it doesn't look like it has...like at all.

You would think they would bombard the announcement with bangers if they had them. Strange.

 

[Moses85]

No HL Alyx?

 

[DeepEnigma]

If they’re trying to compete with high end PC headsets then they’ve already failed. Those headsets are niche and Sony needs this thing to sell 10x more than the entire PC VR market combined to attract devs to make games for this. Otherwise expect another Vita. At least Vita reached 20m install base. Sony will be lucky to even get to 20% of that within 3 years.

Sony was happy with over 5 million sold of PSVR (and this was announced back in 2020). So much so they have a PSVR2 coming out.

Some people are jumping through mental hoops with talking about other headsets that don't work on their platform.

 

[Johnny Concrete]

I was hyped initially, but the price is too steep and the software is not up to par, yet.

So I’ll be patient and see where it is going.

 

[Solarstrike]

 

[Guerilla Munch]

better specs than the Quest Pro (sans the wireless) for a third of the cost lmao. based sony.

 

[Shizumapower]

[anothertech]

That's way less than I thought it would be.

I may be getting two lol.

 

[DEAD ORIGINAL]

Oof

Take that dam hat of soldier, PlayStation for life.

 

[SLB1904]

All these reactions. If I can't pre order one on 15th I'll curse you all

 

[rofif]

Holy shit.

That's the spirit lol

It's just one long USB-C cable. And it has the best specs out of any VR in, or above it's price range.

 

[Codiox]

awesome, now release the damn thing so we get good pcvr headsets again.

VR is on life support right now. PSVR2 is the only hope to get VR going again on PC.

 

[pasterpl]

What state of the art tech are you referring to?

 

[DEAD ORIGINAL]

Kinda on the fence where's Astro Bot 2 and Firewall

[cyberheater]

I would of course have to factor in buying a PS5. Best part of a grand. That's quite an investment.

 

[3liteDragon]

The GOAT never misses.

 

[C2brixx]

You just need some non-obtrusive cable management to keep the immersive.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Not going to get one unless I see GT7 announced to fully support it. Not some cheap add-on with very limited scope, but the entire game.

 

[MadchesterManc]

If anyone's interested all you need is your phone, some kinda $20 VR headset to house the phone in, and $15 for the Riftcat VRidge software to do wireless PCVR like a Quest. You don't need to spend much for the more immersive wire-free VR experience as championed in this thread

 

[The Last Ninja]

Only $550 to inject glorious OLED in my eyeballs - will buy day 1.

 

[saintjules]

I’m with you.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Still no email from Sony saying I’m in

Has anyone gotten one?

That's retarded and not needed. The pic's expression is fitting for this.

Thanks for the preview of the YouTuber's review thumbnails

Why people thinking you will run around the house? Wtf. Why you guys so clueless. You move with analog stick

 

[tommib]

Still no email from Sony saying I’m in

Nope. Nothing. Guess we’ll have to wait until November 15.

 

[VeganElduderino]

so basically i have to sell a kidney for this

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

I can't see this ever becoming mainstream.

 

[DeepEnigma]

People in here complaining about the price, but apparently have a gymnasium for a living room/game room/bedroom.

 

[FoundryMusic]

VRIP

Can’t blame em really, having to squint through a screen door effect constantly would send anyone doolally

 

[ManaByte]

Ohhhh my bad. Didn’t realize they updated VR1. Interesting.

The original PSVR break out box didn’t support HDR pass through. They revised PSVR with new breakout box that supported HDR, but it wasn’t compatible with the original headset. If you wanted HDR you had to buy the revised version.

 

[Gamerguy84]

Give me a slightly better version of this please.



Also offer your registered PSN users a chance to buy this because scalpers can suck a D.

 

[Ceadeus]

YES

 

[Crimson_Fate]

I have zero doubts that this will have some kind of wi-fi dongle later.

Wifi is too laggy for any gameplay but I do see it possible that someone will hack it to work with a phone at some point

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Why are the hands/arms always disembodied? Forgive a layman's silly question.
