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

Yeah taking breaks is key and having a fan is a must for me.

Do you play standing up or sitting down?

Mine was delivered around 7:00 last night and the controller batteries were too low initially, so I got started at around 8:30.
Played only about a half hour of Horizon and became so motion sick I had to stop. I was standing during the initial beginning sequence and the vertical movement nearly killed me.
Might have to jump to Moss instead or something a little less motion-intensive.

Did you use gestures for movement?
Yeah I don't know what to tell you. It sounds weird to say playing on a TV could be more immersive than VR but that's honestly how I felt. I could try to explain it, about how the low res makes it so immediately a game and not real, but you'd think that would go double for the fact that the alternative is looking at a screen, but somehow with the latter I can just get lost in the experience and stop even noticing my surroundings.

Christ on a bike, the castle in Resi8 is a work of art, the intricate detail on everything is phenomenal, even the wife was blown away exploring it till one of the sisters showed up and she's near had a heart attack. Seriously the work Capcom have put into this is incredible, it's as detailed and architecturally accurate as any European castle I've been in. I really do hope there's a bonus VR mode for Hogwarts Legacy to simply just wander the castle and Hogsmeade.
That castle is hands down the best looking thing I've seen in a videogame and fucking hell at the size of your lady!

I hope to see more isometric style games (like Diablo 4, etc) make their way to VR. They look fantastic in it, with a whole level of a "God's eye view" immersion as you play.

I haven't tried with my glasses yet, but many of the official videos show it being worn with glasses. On top of this it should be similar to PSVR1 in which it wasn't a problem for me and just in case I ordered some rubber bumpers I stuck inside to protect the lenses.
No idea about glasses affecting the foveate rendering or eye-tracking. Best bet might be to check the FAQ or Reddit.
EDIT: Forgot to mention you can also order prescription lens inserts online.

Yep. One of my favorite parts might be viewing the cars in the garage.
They look real and thats no exaggeration. They don't look like a well built video game car, they look real.
It's one of those have to see to believe things.
I'm actually going to do that spectator thing right now before I try a couple new games.

My wife plays games now and then. She wasn’t convinced by PSVR2 but I set it up while she was out and had an hour or so on Kayak and RE8. When she came home I let her have a go As she wanted to see what all the fuss with me checking my emails every 5 minutes was the previous day. She liked Kayak and was amazed by the sense of scale etc. I bought Townsmen with her in mind as well as she likes RTS/Tower Defence/Building games. I put that on for her and she’s probably put in about 8 hours at least so far Since yesterday.
She LOVES it. Nice gentle pace, nice sense of progression, lots of attention to detail (she pointed out that you can see people working in the mines, the eagles swoop down and seize rabbits and so on). The graphical style is nice and clean and suits the game and tech. Controls are intuitive, she’s had no problems picking them up. She’s been seated playing it so no real concerns about motion sickness. The only minor complaint is that it can be easy to knock townsmen over by accident when you’re placing or picking stuff up (you don’t have to do this but you can do it to give them a hand).

Finally received my headset today after UPS fucked up yesterday.
Coming from Psvr1 this is a HUGE upgrade and its above my expectations in terms of IQ. Of course you are not watching your fancy 4k korean oled TV, but this is a big step up in the right direction.
For now, I played two races in GT7. Quite impressive to be honest, the feeling of speed is incredible and I think they made a great, great job in terms of visual fidelity compared to the flat version.
Kayak is also really impressive in terms of visuals, and looks even sharper than GT7. The thing is that game made me realize I need to get my VR legs back, so I didnt play too much and had to take a break.
Then I just showed Moss to my girlfriend, a game I absolutely adored on PSVR1, and I have to say the upgrade is also beyond my expectations. OK they didnt offer an upgrade path, but damn they didnt half assed that PS5 version. Really look forward to finishing that game again, and finally play Book 2!
All in all, Im delighted with my purchase and Im really excited to play all the other games I purchased. I went full retard and bought 12 games already
Enjoy your time with PSVR2, guys! Hope you are having a blast like me!

Along the same lines I would love to play a monopoly, uno, or along those lines with my kids and wife. I don't think they are interested in Demeo.

Thanks for this. I have not read a ton of the game, but what is the goal of the game? Is it like a Cities game where you manage the town and you have to achieve something?

My only complaint with the comfort on the headset is that it places a lot of stress on the forehead and back of your head
If I strap it in too tight I can feel my pulse in my head
I have an oculus and while that has a “goggles” feel to it around the eyes, the weight seems more evenly distributed
Not sure which I prefer more but it’s kinda hard to play psvr2 for long sessions so far

So, the hardware is excellent. It truly works great, the foveated rendering works flawlessly, and it's comfortable. The controllers work well. I do prefer the index controllers, but it's an extremely minor thing. I have very large hands.
The games, so far, are ok. GT7 is a blast, but I don't think it'll sell units because to be fun, you need a racing cab. . Call of the Mountain is good. That's the extent of my praise, it's a cool game, some amazing views and interesting puzzles, but it's not the game I'd recommend if you could only afford one with the console. Moss 2 is great, but not a show piece. I'm trying Pavlov tonight, and I definitely need to get to RE8, but that's something I need to be home alone for.
basically, the hardware wows me, but the software leaves me wanting. I really hoped they would have Star Trek Bridge Crew and Half-Life Alyx at launch. Especially bridge crew, because I have friends without other VR who really want to play it. I'm excited for the hardware if it sells well, because it's truly an excellent headset. I only wish it was PC compatible,

Not really good with glasses.
Feels unconfortable and maybe makes Image bit blurry because you cant adjust them so freely.
Also every small smudge or scratch makes distracting flares/halos.
Not unplayable but not a good experience. Depends of the shape of glasses too I guess.
Imo psvr2 image quality is a bit disapointment, edges of Image(like last 20%) are not sharp at all, which makes text / Image blurry.
And screen door effect is easily visible on all content all the time.
Maybe it gets better after time and i have no experience of high end vr so hard to compare

Yeh that tightness and marks on the head is when the back is too high, I made the same mistake the first time as well. It makes it feel that you have to tighten it more and more because it feels like it’s going to fall down. But with the back really nicely down all those issues is not there

I feel you, it’s my second headset after psvr1 and I too have motion issues
. It’ll go away though apparently if you play often enough, so there’s hoping that one day you and I can play without the dizzinessSatansblade

will do. I need to try Tentacular as well.Try What the Bat, it’s super fun
Galaxies Edge was fun too. Mechanics aren't great, but living in the world is.

Nope. I was in Best Buy a few days ago and they said they have no idea if they will carry it....they said Sony is the only one selling it in the States. One reason they gave is to avoid scalpers.

Hope they'll also add full VR support (first person) to the RE2 & RE3 remakes.

Are there any other hidden gems besides Moss 1 and 2? Not talking about the big games like RE8, Horizon, GT7, Star Wars. Any of the smaller games that were built for VR like Moss 1 and 2? Those are blowing me the fuck away so far and I want anything that's close to that quality.

I’ve been looking at that. It’s same dev as What the Golf right? That game was super fun.Try What the Bat, it’s super fun

Yep it’s the same silliness but now in VR. The controls and mechanics are awesome. Also, when you look at the graphics in a trailer it looks like nothing special, but somehow the simple graphics really enhance the experience in this game. Feeling of depth and sense of being there is amazing and the bats control super accurate.
You start as a baby so everything you see in the first few levels is from the perspective of a tiny baby. It’s pretty amazing! You’ll see when you try it.

I wonder if it'll get better after a few weeks, though everyone is different. I know after a couple hours I had to stop my first session, probably had it on too tight, left a nice imprint on my forehead for a little bit, but until the end it felt totally fine. I do see people saying they manage 5+ hours on it without a problem, so hopefully after a bit it gets more comfortable/worn in.

I play with glasses and I haven’t had any issues and the foveated rendering can’t be affected because I ran through the eye tracking set up without any problems. Also, I can have the headset pretty snug without my glasses touching the lenses.

No, I was using sticks. I will be switching next time I boot it up.
It was actually at its worst when I was doing the rock climbing. Standing stationary while doing so was tough to endure.

Sigh...this sucks. UPS said call the sender because there was an issue with the scan or something. On hold and been waiting 30mins for PS to answer.
Damn it...

It’s been over a year since I played PSVR, so I only play for an hour or so before taking a break. I think it’s sensible to build your VR legs gradually, otherwise it could put you off playing altogether.
I’ve found that GT7 has been the game in VR less likely to make me feel nauseous as long as I don’t look up and down too often. Kayak VR isn’t far behind either, but it can give me a slight twinge if a turn quickly.
The only one that made me feel like I was plummeting to Earth was NMS when using smooth controls. I reckon I need to use teleport with that one. It’s weird because Star Wars was fine.

I got a little queasy with GT7 sitting until i repositioned the POV to a better angle, and Kayak as well. But Horizon gave me no motion sickness at all, and the climbing was pretty fun standing with the motion controls, it felt really accurate and responsive. The game is just a delight to be in and explore around though.
