PlayStation VR2 |OT| I heard it has a single cable. Is this true?

So really didn’t like the teleporting. Was kinda weird and didn’t think it was as fun. Then again it could just be that game I tried. Thought the snapping was jarring

Yeah Smooth turn vs Snap Turn and Teleport vs Smooth locomotion are preferences. I prefer smooth turn and movement (with the turning speed as high possible).
There's also another preference that some games offer: Headset/Head based movement or Hand/Controller based movement.

Cancelled my amazon order, just drove to best buy and picked one up, in and out in 10 minutes.
Will try it later, got GT7 RE8 and horizon

It's very weird. No lies. I considered it a critch for people who get sick for like a year. I tried it and it felt like a huge compromise.
After a year or so and talking to someone who got into vr r&d early, I tried it again and realized it make more sense. In standing vr, I have a "stage" that is my play area. When I use smooth movement, I'm just sliding the stage around. It's actually more immersive to me to just blink my stage over the the area I want to be. Also turns out to save strain on my eyes which is good because I like to do long sessions.
So yeah I eventually came around to teleporting and snap turn even though I never needed them!

So got done with my first hour session. The setup was simply enough and the guided help is easy to follow. I'm a part time wearer of glasses (when reading stuff at a distance like when driving) and decided to use them for VR. Everything is quite comfy and nothing gets in the way. I never "forgot" I was wearing a headset (as some reviewers claimed) but it didn't become uncomfortable. If you're a VR vet I could see you "forgetting". I only stopped because it's been a while since I was last in VR and need to get my "legs" back. Also VR makes my body feel like I need to shit even if I don't actually 
Probably needed to charge the controllers for a bit as well.
Played Village up to just after meeting the crone. That first big battle was rough. I got stuck on a ladder because you have to actually climb it yourself and it seems you need to put your hands a bit further out than what feels natural (especially if you climb ladders regularly) for it to register the movement correctly. Meanwhile the baddies kept slapping my ass like I was Lady D.
It looks good and stuff works fine but I think RE4 on Quest felt a bit better using and interacting with items in the environment and your weapons. Could be because it's simpler or maybe I just need more time to adjust. I also think I need a laser pointer for the weapons because where the bullets are hitting seem slightly off from where I'm aiming which makes accurate shots a little tricky.
I had no problem with fuzziness or stuff being out of focus in general but on screen text like when reading a note is definitely out of focus. Not sure if it's a game rendering issue, foveated rendering/eye tracking issue or I'm slightly slightly off of the actual sweet spot for my eyes. It's not fuzzy, it's like the lens are not the correct distance apart for my eyes. I dunno but for me it's not a big deal as I've beat the game before and don't need to read the stuff but I'm interested if it's a problem for anyone else.
Edit: Forgot to mention, it's really weird when Ethan falls to the ground and you're still looking through his eyes while the floor is rendered through your neck.

There's no theft at the minute. You still have it.
But give it away or sell it knowing that you acquired it mistakenly and I wouldn't want Sony's lawyers on the case.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I think a lot of devs are just really fucking bad at controls. It's like, they try to add all these things like teleport and blinders, and I'm like, "How about instead you learn what a smooth analog curve is." Their controls are just pure fuckin jank. It's like how input lag and bad analog controls can ruin an otherwise good shooter.... that same shit affects the other stick too. And in VR it's magnified, unfortunately.
Good example is RE4 on Quest. Now a lot of people really like that game, but if you honestly examine the movement controls they're fuckin terrible. They put ZERO thought into or adjusted the actual player movement. Aside from the usual dumb VR add-ons. The main issue on the stick is momentum. You have to have a smooth input, and a lot of games don't.

So its launching with three AA-AAA games, two of wich are already old hats. The rest seem like indie games or stuff thats old as hell in thr VR space (Thumper etc.). Not gonna lie, I expected more. Not gonna be there day 1 like i was with PSVR1.

Ah. Keep in mind that some games you really need to get your legs and step up to. Never played pavlov but it seems like one of those. Boneworks was famous for being uncomfortable for a lot of people, largely from having no restrictions on your movement.

Go to the side bar and change the game version. Like switching between PS4 and PS5.

Anyone else stuck on the setup screen due to tracking issues?
So far, I haven't even managed to get past setup. My Left sense controller is basically spinning around in the "Grab your sense controller" section and won't register me moving it. I can turn around and all it does it pretty much think its in the same position it was when I picked it up, with the glowing Orb going ballistic. I've reset the controllers , reset the ps5, turned my light brighter/dimmer, the lot. Nothing

I had no issues at all with tracking in a dimly lit room, is your room really bright? I know it says not to be in a brightly lit room with sunshine coming in as it may affect tracking but it could be thatAnyone else stuck on the setup screen due to tracking issues?

People are saying this and it's a little funny because I thought the box looked huge in the pictures lol. And I don't watch unboxing videos so idk from there.

Ah shit, that's pretty harsh. Is the cable long wnough for you to tryy it around the corner or anything? or can you change the lighting in the room drastically? That mmight help troubleshoot at least.

The right one works fine, which makes me think it's just the one controller rather than a general light issues. I have dimmers and I've tried multiple levels.

Time to call it a night.
I played about 5 hours I think. No motion sickness or uneasy feeling at all, and I've never tried VR before. What am I doing wrong?
Anyway, here are some of my game impressions.
Gran Turismo 7 - Only got about an hour in the game, but holy fuck this is amazing. Driving Japanese cars feels weird though, right-hand driving. Really impressive scale in the game.
Horizon - Beautiful game, I don't mind the climbing at all. Climbing with the pickaxe got my hands all sweaty. Combat felt good, but I mostly spammed arrows in panic. I missed most of the intro because I was obsessed looking at the detail of the hands.
Kayak VR - A little tedious paddling after a while, but damn the game looks amazing Finding animals really put a smile on my face. Really strong feeling of being in the world in this game, same with GT7.
Moss (I bought it yesterday because of that cute little mouse) - What a fun little game. The mouse is so damned cute with its little fingers and toes. Looking forward to playing more of this later on. Impressive 3D effects.
Hardware wise I think PSVR2 is very impressive, but I don't have any experience with other headsets. The tracking never missed a beat during my playtime (however the hands in Horizon got stuck once in game geometry, but that was not the fault of the VR tracking). Initially it complained about my room being to dark, so I just turned up the lights.
I wear glasses and have pretty bad eyesight. I had some issues with setting up the eye tracking, so I had to do it without my glasses. After that was complete I just put my glasses back on, so I dont think the eyetracking is working 100% for me. It would spaz out sometimes in the Horizon menus. I never noticed any issues with the foveated rendering though.
Didnt have much trouble finding the sweet spot (you notice it pretty easily) and the helpful guide made it super easy getting started.
Didnt have any comfort issue during my 5 hours, expect getting pretty warm during the end of the session.
Well, time to hit the sack.

Initial impressions...Fucking Hell this thing is a next generational leap over the original.
- Typcial Sony seemless setup, up and running in no time
- Visuals are outstanding, sweet spot was a piece of piss for me to find and lock in, this mura effect people talk about is barely noticeable if at all and oh my the increase in resolution is like going from Standard Def to HD
- I played the Kayak game with a stupid grin on my face the whole time, it looked incredible and was really relaxing to play and the kids loved it
- Stuck on GT7 lol fucking hell, I haven't played a GT game in like 20yrs and when the game opened with me sat in the cockpit of car racing I near crashed, the visuals and sense of being in the car are second to none, the graphics are class including all the reflections inside the cockpit
- my controllers came with little to no charge so only really played the above, have the day booked off tomorrow to give Resi8, Call of the Mountain and NMS a proper rattle

It's true, sony is locked into that console generation timeline but in vr that's a long time.

Some of that stuff is great. I wanted to try song in the smoke but the vr2 upgrade is huge. Been looking at project wingmand and pavlov from afar for awhile.
Anyone awiting for a full slate of aaa's is going to be waiting a great long while though. We just went like 3 years since alyx. It's going to be an uphill battle to cure vr of quest disease.

Excuse me. Her name is Quill and she is a mouse!
Jokes aside, Moss 1 and 2 are worth it.
Lots of good games to pick from depending on what you are wanting to play.
Also, try out some of the demos available.

Finally. I'm actually gonna take a shower and go get some food while these controllers charge (they came real low) and then play a bunch later.
Big relief the thing shipped on time / intact. Sounded like the UPS guy tossed it down. Thanks bro.
