My ups tracking is in fact listed as next day air, shipping to Michigan so looks like option 1.

Yeah I see it now, next day air which is 10:30AM ETA

Boggles my mind Sony is spending that much money to make sure nobody gets it early.

Mine is still showing "Awaiting Carrier Pickup"

Keep in mind that the NMS PSVR2 update has been delayed but GT7 and RE8 are a go!!

Ian from Eurogamer has said he’ll be streaming NMS in VR from tomorrow, so I’m not sure it has been delayed.

Saw these earlier on press sites but couldn't bother dling/uploading since the official channels don't yet have the videos up (or visible at least) so glad someone else did for now. I'll update with official sources later if they're better quality. Dunno why it's taking so long for anyone to speak of them.

These disappeared from the press source sites, maybe a deadline mistakenly broken? Idk why they wouldn't go ahead with the reveal anyway, they're not so special to keep secret. More new ports:

 

[DenchDeckard]

Congrats to all those getting the new tech this week.

Remember, take it out the box slow...smell that new tech smell.....feel all the goody, goody excitement tingles as you set it up.....

...play some damned games then get in here and give us your feedback...

Then please use all your will power to make some deal happen so your good pal denchdeckard can pick one up in a deal that suits him!

I love VR, and this headset looks amazing.

Looking forward to reading your comments on it!

Posted this in the other thread!

Have fun, all. Post your impressions when you can

Nms apparently update tomorrow and Pavlov out tomorrow.

Same.

UPS at it again.

Some super close up reflection lod change there at 24 seconds in, makes the whole bottom back part of the car go from mostly black to super reflective shine like just a meter ahead of him. But yeah, VR racing is the shit if you have a wheel set up.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Got my shipping email. Ordered only a couple of weeks ago and located east of England. I think they’re shipping by region as a friend of mine that lives close by got his email at basically the same time, yet I’ve friends in London who haven’t got theirs yet.

Pretty sure anyone who preordered is going to get it on release day in the UK since there don’t seem to be any supply issues.

Nice! I was wondering when they were going to release the update for NMS considering Resi 8 and GT7 are available already.

You might be right. I’m Eastish and got my shipping mail around 12:15pm.
Although weirdly after that mail yesterday saying chargers may go out first, the charger i ordered on Friday is still prepping.

That Kayak game looks so boring to me lol. Happy PSVR2 launch day!

Edit: oh wait, its tomorrow! False alarm.

It's a kayaking game. Pretty relaxing. But it's mainly a racing game for when you want it less relaxing. Sure it's relatively limited in scope, would love stuff like Endless Ocean with a bit more game meat to them and these visuals and mechanics, finding all the creatures and stuff in open exploration.

I didn't know it had multiplayer, that actually looks pretty entertaining

 

[Alexios]

I think it's only asynchronous so they're player ghosts, not sure. Maybe Phantom: Covert Ops will get a port or sequel on all platforms for these mechanics in a more gamey game. Not sure if Meta has any exclusivity on it and that's why it's not on other PC stores but nDreams made it so possibly not.

Same here and it's making me regret using half a day of PTO for launch.

Guess they did break the deadline yesterday, lol. So here it is, officially announced alongside other games (none are exclusive mind so check your existing VR platform if you're only seeing this with a general interest in VR and not just PS VR2 in particular):

10 new PS VR2 titles revealed, launch window lineup now over 40 games

Thrilling arcade action, gravity-defying moments, captivating adventures and more await.

blog.playstation.com

Most of them have great ratings on the other platforms and there are a couple of unreleased potentially cool stuff like Sushi Ben or Hellsweeper. I think the coolest are these two, Runner and potentially Swordsman for lack of Blade & Sorcery. Oh and that's a Fisherman's Tale sequel, not the old one!

 

[Kirkio]

Mines finally shipped! Not that anyone else cares, my wife most definitely doesn't ha

 

[existensmaximum]

Have you watched this review? I'm disgusted that this sexist pig just assumes only guys will buy this the nerve!

Damn, that's a lot of interesting titles to an already packed release!

 

[saintjules]

Might be different for everyone but don't go by PS Direct's tracking system. UPS has told me they haven't received the package yet, despite Sony showing that it traversed across a few towns.

Also according to UPS, no signature is required for the delivery. Again, it may vary by location.

Wonder if it coincided with this.

 

[Satansblade]

Mine shipped today from Best Buy (Canada). Should have it tomorrow.

 

[RoadHazard]

That looks great, but is there an actually game there or is it just an exploration thing?

 

[Mr.ODST]

Still not had my shipping email yet

 

[remember_spinal]

There are racing modes

 

[Alexios]

Maybe this is among the 5.

US East - still says the same damn thing it said on 2/16 - label created only. I'm hoping UPS is just hiding the activity b/c wtf.

Seems like the floodgates are finally opening on general games coverage.

That was a given, it's Sony. It happened, a bit and for a bit, with the first PSVR too.

Really glad for it as the existing VR media suck even more than general gaming media which definitely manage to cover a bigger portion of the non VR gaming industry than the VR sites managed to cover the much smaller so far VR space they should've been able to easily cover fully and properly.

 

[SilentUser]

Clearly Half Life Alyx, amiright?!
Jokes aside, would love to watch it because of these 5 new PSVR2 titles.
Edit: Trying to not get hyped, but could Silent Hill: A Short Message be a PSVR2 title?

 

[Buggy Loop]

Probably kept Half Life Alyx for that. It's not possible they didn't score this game from Valve. Right?

 

[ssringo]

Same location as me. My labels were created on the 20th. My charger shipment was updated to "on the way" from Jacksonville FL at 1207. The headset hasn't updated though.

Yeah, what I see on UPS differs than what is on PS Direct's site. PS actually shows it in transit.

 

[mckmas8808]

Digital Foundry put out a podcast (?) today and one of the questions was about playing flat screen games in the VR space. The guy answering was quite positive about the experience. Should be time stamped.


I hadn't even thought about PS4 games. I'll have to download Odin Sphere and Dragon's Crown. The OLED should make them look amazing.

John said that the PSVR2 doesn't fog up like his other headsets.

 

[Darko]

Stop trying to make alyx happen… it’s not gonna happen.

 

[mckmas8808]

Why am I about to buy a freaking Kayaking game? It looks so nice, I need some demos.

To me this is one of the BEST things about gaming in VR. When it moves you to purchase a game that you wouldn't play in a million years on a 2D regular HDTV. It was the same for me with Thumper.

 

[Crayon]

The only thing that makes me think they didn't get it is that there are no leaks. But they've done pretty well with that so far. Otherwise, It's such a no-brainer and it plays to valve's goals of making vr in general bigger. Sony knows that if there's one game to bag, it's this. If they do have it, thursday would be a good time to mention since the hype is getting pretty strong right now and they could throw gasoline on it with an alyx announcement.

Then they can string that shit out aaaalllllll the way till christmas. :/

It's the 22nd in Australia and Japan, we should have some impressions in a few hours.

To be fair, im not about to play a kayak game because it's exactly the thing I do all the time in real life. Usually kayak tournament fishing when im not in one with my Bass boat. We live on a lake, I launch my fishing kayak from my backyard. I love VR for the experiences I can't have in real life.

Which one did you get and how much? Strongly considering it and to get back into GT.

Games like this and RE Village will be the foundations/blueprint for VR2 moving forward I feel.

 

[sachos]

And there you have it. This thing will blow first time VR users minds. No killer app yet though. /s

 

[nowhat]

I just received an email telling me that "my order has been shipped and no more changes can be made to it".

As this is a local retailer, that means... oh fuck, I'm getting this tomorrow! I'll have a new toy soon! No real content to this post, just happy/hyped.
