I have been playing FPS with my ass seated for 30+ years, so it's hard to changeFunny to see so many people playing those games seated, always thought everyone was also playing standing up like me lol. Imo, it feels much, much better playing standing up

Have you actually used a headset for PCVR on a high end PC? I have the PSVR2 and a Quest 2 headset for PCVR. I don't think the PSVR2 experience is a massive step up. The Quest 2 holds up very well and I prefer it over the PSVR2 for comfort as long as you have a good aftermarket strap. I also use it wirelessly through virtual desktop and there is no discernible difference between that and using a 20gbps cable, but that's with my high speed bandwidth and wifi 6 5ghz router which is important.
Swap knees with me and I'll play standing!Funny to see so many people playing those games seated, always thought everyone was also playing standing up like me lol. Imo, it feels much, much better playing standing up
Like in my list, I don't see myself with a Quest 2 purchase when Quest 3 which is supposed to be 2x faster and generally better is due out later this year. Quest 2 doesn't have the much-desired pancake lens (nor does PS VR2), the resolution is still mid-level (similar to PS VR2), FOV is a little worse, it is lacking the OLED screens (though so is the Quest Pro, but that has 2 screens like PS VR2 vs the 1 of the Quest 2). I do understand comfort is better once modded, but it's not that much of an issue for me with PS VR2. I don't need the headset today, since I have so much to play still on PS VR2, but I am going to be getting one eventually, preferably one that is notably better than PSVR2.

I tried a bit of Pavlov and played it standing, it wasn't bad or anything and I understand that it's more immersive. But really, after 10 hours in the office, the last thing I want to do is stand and move like a retard in front of my Tv haha. I also live in a small flat and I'm always scared to destroy my surrounding.
But, hey, I should try again. I was thinking of restarting my RE8 run to play it fully standing, just to check if it really adds (that much) to the immersion.
For House Benevento, tho, I'm gonna play in fetal position while crying, for maximum realism and immersion.
). But like R6Rider just said, it is awesome to have options.
Synth Riders is pretty low-key for motion sickness, even the Experience levels don't do much.
I think they can only make things a bit better, I am not expecting any major upgrade tbh.
Yeah the Quest 2 is a solid headset but I can't imagine buying one now with the price increase and a Quest 3 on the horizon. Hoping they don't screw up the transition with software and hardware compatability.
I havent had any issues with any VR games so far but I'm never buying Kayak VR. I already get sick on boats lol
When your playing PCVR in high graphics/quality resolution, the difference in resolution and screen between PSVR2 and Quest 2 is negligible. I will also argue the screen door effect in the PSVR2 with the diffusion filter actually looks worse to me! It's terrible in RE Village. The Quest 3 is also a huge step in price compared to Quest 2. Again, I'm arguing for the Quest 2 based on price and if you were buying today! PSVR2 in its current state of support is not better than PCVR with a Quest 2 imo. But you said you are not wanting it today, so yes, in the near future comparing options and budget, a cheaper Quest 2 won't be the better option. If Sony really kicks up the support with must have exclusive games, then that will change the tide on which platform may be better.
There is no visible screen door effect on PS VR2, this has been said many times by many people with lots of VR experience. If anything they went overboard to prevent it at the cost of clarity with the diamond pixel grid or whatever. You're probably referring to the mura, which is not bad at all for me, RE8 90% of the time to me looks incredible. A little soft and a little low-res but still very, very good. And the colors and detail and everything else are superb. I agree from what I've read the resolution is pretty negligible like you say - and even at it's best the PSVR2 still falls quite short of a high-end 4K TV in terms of resolution. Didn't they say Quest 3 was targeting around $500 (which wouldn't be that much more)? Either way, price is not a big concern, if spending $1000 would merit worthwhile improvement for me that's not the issue. It's just even at that price (or double that) there's nothing that's super compelling to me.
It could be the mura, I know they used a diffusion filter which is described as the same looking effect as mura so who knows but it's jarring to me, probably because my first experience with an OLED VR screen and I'm used to the LCD, but this is much more noticeable to me than the screen door effect of vertical lines on the Quest 2, which if you are playing on high graphic settings is hardly noticeable and the image on the Quest 2 feels slightly cleaner to me. I'm in Australia, I'm, not sure what Quest 3 pricing will be but the Quest 2 is still $549 AUD here. We always get screwed with taxes. I expect Quest 3 to probably be around the same price as PSVR2 here which is $879 AUD.
This nearly killed me playing at night on TV. If the VR is convincing at all, I might literally die having a first experience of that place with a headset.
Oh it's convincing. VR makes stuff larger than life, all the Lycans and bosses and really everything just looks so much more real. It's not really that scary in general when you get used to it, but aiming at a Lycan in VR feels like you're really aiming at a zombie/person, you need to lift up your gun slightly for a head shot and move your arms to follow its head as they bob left/right, and when they come in at you, they take up almost your entire peripheral vision. All the 3D spaces feel so much larger in VR, and all the clutter really stands out as well, as the depth/detail in VR is a lot more noticeable even if the IQ is a bit worse than a flatscreen, there's just no comparing the size of it in VR which really brings out every last detail. Stuff like water and metal and blood really shine in VR on a whole other level from flat. Even when you approach House Beneviento from the outside where it stands on that cliff with the waterfall - that's a really impressive moment, more so than the first time you walk out and see the Village at the very beginning, the house by the waterfall - the empty space down below you really feels enormous.
That's sounds incredible to be honest. The details about scope, clutter, size, etc really would lend itself to a game that is heavy on atmosphere.
Problem with the Pulse is the build quality. Mine is having serious issues after 2 years: the protection of the foam is badly deteriorating, the button to mute/unmute is working 30% of the time and I have several other complaints. Like every PlayStation product, its not robust at all and gives the bitter impression to have been designed for you to buy a new one after 3 years.
You can, but we will mistake you for a little kid and you'll most likely get killed.
Actually, thanks for sharing your experience, I will take extra steps to protect it now. I usually store everything in a big drawer besides my PS5, Pulse is also going thereProblem with the Pulse is the build quality.

It is still a good headset, tho, and one built with PS5 in mind, so that makes it very nice to use and it has a very good sound for the price.
(I dont want to ruin your purchase, Pulse is still a solid choice. But be maybe more careful than me if you want to avoid the problems I mentioned
I have almost finished the game and I agree with you its really good, albeit not excellent.
I read from the devs that they were working on a "cool dlc". I expect some infinite rogue lite mode, that would be really nice.
I need to get one but like others have said, the build quality gives me pause. I had the gold one for PS4 and it just straight up broke for no reason. One of the speakers stopped working and then the Bluetooth itself stopped working. I then used the aux port and that broke as well. All within like 3 months. Never had that experience ever with a Sony product. I'm willing to take the risk with Pulse though cause ear buds never stay put, something about the shape of my ear canal or something, constantly fall out with the slightest movement.

Sadly everyone I know isn't much of a fan of this game.

I've had the Pulse 3D headphones since I got the PS5 and I've really liked them overall. If my current pair breaks, I'll be getting another one.
I'm completely cooled on it. Button press reload is fine for ports of old games to VR, but not a tactical shooter built from the ground up for VR. I also think the eye tracked weapon situation is a gimmick given we have holsters and can grab items and weapons from over our shoulder. I'm also not a fan of eye tracked grenades when we can just throw them.
More like runabout golf to get it finished before Zelda is released
