PSVR2 Review Units Sent Out, LOTS of Surprises coming before Launch

Can't wait for mine :messenger_open_mouth::messenger_sunglasses:

Other stealth announcements of more games releasing around launch would be cool, Astrobot should be ported to the new platform.

Ok I know I said I'm waiting until a PS5 system revision but I have to admit. I'm starting to sweat a bit thinking about confronting a world where PSVR2 is actually OUT.

It always seemed so impossibly far away, but wow, here we are.
 
mmm yeah, PS4, PS5 and PSVR all had an astro game pre-installed

Hmm no, PS4 definitely didn't (it doesn't even have a "regular" Astrobot game), and the PSVR game was a separate purchase I believe? Only PS5 had it as a preinstalled freebie.

But maybe you were being sarcastic.
 
I think it will be GTA 5 VR, exclusively free again for early adopters.

Will cement the close relationship they have and also give R* some early testers if they want to adopt it into GTA6 like FP was in V

The only surprise I want is official support for PC via drivers and a DP+USB adapter.

I'd be ordering mine within seconds.
I know the first one didn't have pc (official) support either but I can't believe they skipped PC again.

Such a massive amount of potential sales squandered. I'm sure there's a reason but dammit man.
 
PS VR2 Without Parole:





This makes it clear that more games are coming soon that Sony hasn't revealed yet. At least one of them is a big surprise that they weren't expecting (makes me thing it's another company's exclusive, e.g., Half Life Alyx, or a game that no one expected was in development by).

Either way, those games already have review codes, means they are close to completion and release.
Call of Duty

What is the point of selling you a headset at a loss? You are not buying their games, they don't want you to have it. Do you think Sony is a Charity??
 
You can surprise me with wipeout.
Horizon doesn't interest me, Gran Turismo is too slow for me, and I have played most of PSVR2's launch lineup on other devices. I would absolutely buy PSVR2 day 1 if there was a new fully VR-playable Wipeout.
 
I think only reviews i want to see is from normal people on the street who gets theres day one when it releases to get a better idea about the hardware, especially when the ps5 released and every you tuber etc that got there review copy all said it was completely silent, yet once the ps5 was out there was loads with coil whine or noisy fans

I mean, both The Playroom and TPVR are basically part of the Astro series, Rescue Mission even came from the Robots Rescue minigame in VR.

I was able to get one preordered for 20% off thanks to a friend who has works at a big chain.

I also have quest 2. Ideally I don't want to sell that because mods on PC are just awesome. Specially with games like beat saber and there is also half life.

But having 2 head sets... Heh. Too much money. What to do what to do lol
 
I wonder what the surprises could be? Bryan Paul from PSVR2 without Parole also said there's a lot of surprises he's heard about,

My guess? The Biggest Surprise will be Astrobot Rescue Mission for PSVR2 ported from PSVR, included for free with every PSVR2 headset, with a few tweaks/surprises for the port that take advantage of the PSVR2 hardware.

Can't be a Sony launch witout Astro in some fashion
This would get me to probably buy the headset, but I find it unlikely given the investment it would require versus "keeping it secret" until the last minute. This would be something you talk about months in advance to build the hype.

Hope I'm wrong.
 
Dreams will be revealed to have PSVR2 support.
There is no way this isn't happening.
Media Molecule has been sitting on ps5 Devkits for 3 years and hasn't bothered to port the game to ps5, and you want them to announce psvr2 support?
Without it running natively on ps5 there will never be any psvr2 support.

I have a feeling that's exactly why we haven't had a PS5 update, Dreams is massively improved with VR (the creation side of things which is very/most important part of Dreams). I know Move controllers do work on PS5 but I think Sony would rather they forget those exist (and so would I)
 
As long as it isn't GT7 is now a free pack in. (I wouldn't expect this but I literally just bought the game because of PSVR2 so with my luck it's a surprise pack-in.) Oh well, can we ask them to get a port of Evil Google Earth on it? (Trying Evil Google Earth in VR sounds kind of interesting but I don't have a PC head set.)

Color me impressed for a much better simplicity
Think this is one of reasons i stopped playing psvr to much since it was just the hassle of connecting all the cables up everytime i wanted to play, plus the rubbish tracking of the move controllers , love quest 2 i can just put on and play no bad tracking, or connect to pc with one cable for loads better visuals, for me ill be hanging fire till i see some real reviews from on forums like this to how the experience is, plus £550 is to big a drop coming right after xmas spending
 
Can the PSVR2 be plugged into the back of PS5 or is it front USB only?
It uses USB-C which will run in DP Alt Mode for the data transfer needed, so unless they enable one of the high speed back ports to run in Alt Mode (you would also need a regular USB dongle to attach to the PSVR2 chord, then probably not. I would assume they will only enable Alt Mode on the front one, but we shall see.

I think this just comes down to the profit margin.

I think the margin isn't large enough for day 1 so they haven't announced it, but once they are making a decent profit on these, they'll announce PC support.
