Hmm that's strange, because I run it without an issue, being cable-d or through wi-fi. On Windows 11 no less, which apparently still have issues with VR. I guess I got lucky.

There's a AAA VR game that was a system seller? Because I don't recall any VR AAA games moving many headsets.

Beat Saber isn't AAA but it did sell VR units.
Half Life Alyx did too, just less because the Valve Index is a thousand dollars. If HLA comes to PSVR2 this year and is a good port, I think it would absolutely push 100 to 200 thousand additional PSVR2 units. I'd be one of them.

Alyx didn't move many headsets. Index is still like many other headsets, tens of thousands to a few hundred k's at most.
It would be nice to see a non-Quest headset sell over a million although that would still be low at least that would show industry is growing. Hasn't happened since 2018.
While PSVR2 is more accessible, assuming IF Alyx is ever released on it, will game that old move a significant amount of PSVR headsets?

I wonder how it will perform. This is definitely a game that you want to experience with maxed out settings.

I can't really see it being an issue, it ran fine on 2070

Are we really sure given Valve appear to be supporting the ABK merger? Sony might not want to be working with Valve if they feel like Valve are working against them?

I don't think that would matter, but Valve doesn't care enough to port the game and Sony probably won't offer enough money.
IMO it's weird that Alyx has not been announced, so I don't think it is coming. It's like the Bloodborne remaster with people trying to will it into existence.

I agree. Though idiots on Facebook tell me I know nothing like John snow and it's practically an open secret. I just keep saying sure, so is Microsoft acquiring SEGA and the Bloodborne remaster.

Valve released games on all platforms. This included Xbox.
The fact that Xbox doesn't have a VR platform is not Valve's problem. If and when Xbox has a VR headset, Valve will port Alyx to them too. You had to be a really young kid to not being around when Valve ported all their game everywhere.

If it comes out on PlayStation, then it’s a masterpiece.

That isn't why they made their own headset. They only made their own once Oculus betrayed them after being given all the tech. They were happy to share and let others make the headset, then Facebook happened.
Valve had always been happy to release their own games on consoles. There just had been a lack of suitable titles for a generation.

Xbox will get Alyx if and when they have their own VR solution. Don't get upset at the deliberate actions of Xbox.

This. Why on earth would you give the best VR game ever made to the competition, when you've got your own headset coming? Hell, they're probably working on the follow up for Deckard as well.

Didn't say that's why, just saying they would hold it as an ace card to drive sales.

That makes no sense, most PS gamers are long time console gaming fans so they probably don't have a PC.

You must be new here. The entire psvr2 thread was oculus people saying they already can play these games

Technically the Index has the same library as all headsets on PC that are compatible with SteamVR, so even the Quest can play Alyx.
It's exclusive in terms of to the SteamVR ecosystem, which many headsets can access, and not on others for sure.

In terms of stand alone, self powered VR, it would be only one with that game.

I was watching a review on this device and saw the clip on ear buds and just laughed. How is it Valve set the standard with the Index and its sensational audio config and Sony can't at least replicate that like 4-5 years later?

Because one is $1000 and one is $549?

Do you believe that? No HDR, no eye tracking, no headset haptics, wonky controller connection: yet they planned PC support from the start? If this is indeed true, it's not a good look. I will side with caution, and believe something is being lost in translation or the individual misspoke.
Edit: after rereading the quote, I believe we are conflating "recognizing the importance of a PC connection from the beginning" and "designing it with PC support in mind from the beginning". This is just my assessment and could be wrong. The quote even refers to the fact that they tailored the headset for consoles, and did not move on to PC compatibility in earnest until after the PSVR2 launch. Again, I could be coming at this from an incorrect perspective.

Don't quote me from 18 months ago and pull this shit.
If it was designed for PC from the start it would have came with all the bells and whistles but it does not.

It's not incorrect per se, but the truth is somewhere in the middle. They are clearly conflating the PC design speak. And the lack of feature-readiness for the PC connectivity is a undeniable fact.
However, at the same time it makes perfect sense seen from Sony's perspective. The PSVR2 is dying and not a lot of software supports its "bespoke" features, so it would be a waste of time and money for Sony to try to implement it in their adapter.
Except, I think they should've made a better solution or guideline for the sometimes spotty controller connections.
