Why would you say that.

I doubt most people give a fuck about Déraciné. Meanwhile Bloodborne is one of the best games of last gen, and deserves better than being stuck on a machine that plays it at 1080p and ~30fps.

Because Bloodborne is not stuck on a single machine, as you can easily play it on PS5.
Yeah, you can also play Déraciné on PS5, of course, but you need to have both the old PSVR headset, AND the PS4 camera.
I don't know, one just seems more deserving of a port/remaster treatment that the other (not that I wouldn't want Bloodborne at 4K/60fps).
And hey, Déraciné is a pretty good game, too.

Same and im not going back the cunts.

Guess I have to beg for TWO games now, thanks friend.

Hope that at the very least Bloodborne gets a 60fps patch, shouldn't be that hard considering some dude managed to do so for the PS4 all on his own.

This headset could be a viable look if you are interested in not having a wifi antennae strapped to your head for hours

 

[SportsFan581]

I don't understand why an adapter is necessary?

Doesn't it have a single usbC connection to the PS5?

Maybe it needs a breakout. Sony is likely doing DP and Data over the USBc, most PCs don't fully support a discrete GPU there (at least not without the video being compressed into a data stream like Quest is doing). This is why USBc on GPUs was a good idea.

 

[alucard0712_rus]

Nope, I did not use quest 3, so maybe it would surpass psvr2, however the OLED screens are just great.

Yeah those headsets have it's own unique advantages and disadvantages. I hope for PSVR2 Pro with pancake lenses and maybe wireless. OR Quest 3 Pro with OLED's. PSVR2 is definitely much lighter and much easier to use.

 

[ABnormal]

Well, to the ones like me who only play seated, a wired solution will always be preferred to avoid batteries and recharge, but for those who like roomscale gaming, a wireless headset will always be preferable. Of course I prefer to avoid having high frequency signals being projected continuously so close to head.

 

[ABnormal]

I hope in a future iteration with high luminosity OLED screens so that they would not be too dimmed down by pancake lenses. That would be perfect.

thicc_girls_are_teh_best thoughts?

I'm sure it will be concise and to the point

 

[yurinka]

We are going to get Déraciné before Bloodborne, aren't we.

No. Deracine was a PSVR1 title, not a PSVR2 one.

 

[diffusionx]

I bought a Quest 3 because it gave me access to two stores. If Sony did this out of the gate I may have bought a PSVR2 instead, but their support of the platform has just been abysmal and Meta has been putting out real bangers on their platform.

 

[Melon Husk]

If they offer VR ports on PC and eye tracking works it might interest some people

 

[Dr.Morris79]

It's definitely the best headset on the market, but that's not saying much. Nothing out there is impressive, and the software is lacking.

Basically they are trying to spark interest on pc where vr has a larger market. Which is a good plan really.

Aye, depending how it turns out, I might grab one

Hopefully, one day, they'll put Wipeout and GT on the pc for it too

..Maybe not though.

The free VR1 had no purpose other than being a nice gesture to its buyers. Profits probably zero. I don't think many PS5 buyers bought a VR1 after that free offer launched. There was no great VR1 push anymore at that time. Got my adapter rather late, so I think it is still possible to get one.
But this should trigger some interest on the VR2 thing and trigger game sales afterwards. Hence I also think free will require PS5 registration, since pure PC users might create a loss. But adding a stupid price tag would kill any new spark. So they will have to make some concessions to not move back to square one, adding functionality but souring the deal with a price tag, especially one that is, what a fifth of the entire standalone last gen competition, with some people prefering that anyway. Anything above a standard DP to Mini adapter would make this incredible hard to swallow again.

Again, this isn't just a standard cable. It has to have an external power source so that it can gain the 12 volts as needed externally. So you're looking at essentially two products in one. One to deliver 12v to the headset and another to run the signal to PC. It seems you're only understanding part of that.

 

[Roman Empire]

Unless the adapter is affordable then it is DoA.

 

[existensmaximum]

Fantastic news! Looking forward to getting this adapter

 

[SportsFan581]

To late. I'm already in bed with Zuckerberg.

They really should have done this at launch. I have my quest 3 now.

Same. They may have missed the moment with a lot of folks considering how well Quest is selling. My current PC + Quest 3 setup is definitely enough to hold me over in this area for a long time.

 

[Bry0]

Hope it's less than $100. I will probably buy this

 

[RoadHazard]

Quest is packing video output as a data package (that's why you need USB cable with a fiber), PSVR 2 is hdmi 2.1 via usb-c with hdr and 120hz. Different principles.

Quest video is also quite compressed because it is a data stream and not actual video.

PSVR2 is DP rather than HDMI though AFAIK.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Hope it's less than $100. I will probably buy this

I'm hoping for $49 or $59

I'm probably going to buy one from PlayStation direct because of the discount and Netflix offer. I would love to finally finish Half Life Alyx on the PSVRs OLED.

thicc_girls_are_teh_best thoughts?

You know what I'm gonna say: it's good they're bringing PC compatibility, I just think it shouldn't be at the expense of console owners.

So they should be working on a client for streaming PC VR games to PSVR2 owners on PS5. More options, in case there are PC VR games that never get console ports. I don't see how more options for console owners is a bad thing, when Sony seem to think having more options for people on different platforms to buy the headset is a good thing.

Now I fully understand why you started this rumor despite there being no facts to support it being true. You simply wanted it to be true because you thought it would force people to still buy ps5s in order to use it...

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

I mostly play old-school things in VR anyway, for whatever reason.

Even Asgard's Wrath 2 -- a very nice and full experience, to be sure -- is something I rarely find the will to get into. Instead, I spent the last weeks of my VR time exclusively playing through some excellent Portal 2 community workshop levels with the VR mod. And I'll probably go back to Duke3D VR next week.

Except for rare games like Alyx, I don't necessarily even care how high-end the VR hardware is. I want it convenient, light, room-scale, wire free as possible, etc. And Q3 is fine for all of that.

 

[mckmas8808]

20 dollars is a steal.
I think 40-50 dollars is a win.
Above 50 and I think it is DOA.

It'll have to be $30 or less. So that means Sony will sell it for $49.99.

 

[dcx4610]

I had the original PS VR and thought it was cool but just felt like a tech demo. I still think most VR still feels like tech demo but I'm definitely interested. When the adapter comes out and if it works well, I might give it a try.

 

[iHaunter]

Find someone that loves you, like how sony is loving PC lately.

I think the PC sales this year proved to Sony that the PC market wants their stuff.

Doesn't seem like there is much point for that, tbh. If you have a PC capable of running the VR games, why stream them to your PS5/PSVR2 when you could get the adapter and just use the PSVR2 with that? Unless you are talking about streaming from a remote source, but that's a whole other thing with the fps, and latency needs you have with VR.

There are really only 2 games that absolutely prove that VR can be absolutely amazing experiences.

Gran Turismo 7 and Half Life Alyx. Half Life Alyx is what I believe a lot of people want that doesn't really exist much in the space which is a full length high quality game. Gran Turismo is a great game that transforms into one of the greatest experiences I've had in a racing game ever as soon as the headset went on which is even better when you have a wheel.

There are a lot of great smaller experiences/games but those are the two that just blew my mind when I played them. Now I still haven't finished Half Life Alyx (had to return the headset) so maybe it just absolutely falls off the cliff but I highly doubt it.

 

[Hohenheim]

Depressing and probably true.

Sony can't let you stream other publisher's PC games to your PlayStation.

[ShadowkillXNA]

Could care less since they alienated regions for their own store later from Steam. Fuck Sony.

And yet you cared enough to post anyway.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Get a Quest 3. I've been saying it for a while now.
Sell the PSVR2 and get a Quest 3. Or buy more regular plain ole flat games if you are ditching VR.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Well if in the future they do go with their own launcher/storefront on PC, that should be an option for VR games present without console versions.

All I'm saying is they should be doing more to provide value for PSVR2 to console owners. PC compatibility is nice and all, but that isn't doing much for console owners who bought a PSVR2.

Does the quest 3 look and performs better with steam games? I was under the impression the ps2vr would look and feel better on pc??

 

[SoloCamo]

PC wins again. Sure, you've got to wait a bit but it all eventually reaches the PC shores... in the meantime I will keep using the Quest 3 but I'm glad more options are now available.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Does the quest 3 look and performs better with steam games? I was under the impression the ps2vr would look and feel better on pc??

Yes The Quest 3 looks and plays great on the PC and does it all with zero wires or adapters.
I assume the PSVR2 will also look good as well.
I don't agree that the PSVR2 will look better than the Quest 3.
I've owned both devices and everything just looks better/clearer/sharper/in focus from within the Quest 3.
The PSVR2 controllers are better than the Quest 3, so there is that.

Where does one start I have a deal on quest 3 and if it's just as good I'll snag one I've never played pc VR what's tools apps do I need to get going??

You will need a PC, wifi router, and the oculus app. I also recommend Steamlink for slightly better integration.



I have a sneaking suspicion that Sony will have a much easier way of doing this. But nothing is known yet.

Sorry to steal op conversation but what are the must play titles for a newbie

 

[Crayon]

Darn. I have a new gpu in the mail and now I'm wondering if I should return it and spend a little more for vr duties.

This is my brain trying to trick me into spending more money. I'm usually not like this but over the last year I'm blowing money too easily.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Here is some information on what kind of connection is needed and how much producing an adapter might cost.



They also need to get the controllers working.

Wait, so the controllers won't work?

 

[Oppoi]

Don't you go stiff holding your thumbs now.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

where does the psvr 2 sit in comparison to oculus 2/3?

Tech wise or "usability"?

Personally I think the PS2 VR headset is very comfortable and I was able to adjust to the controllers easy enough. For me the face buttons on the controllers feel small compared to the regular dual sense/shock...but maybe its just placement, anyway I was able to adjust to them.

Tech wise:
It requires a LOT of room light to function well on the PS5, at least in my experience.
It is wired....but so is the Quest 2 or Quest 3 when you choose to use Quest Link (unless you connect wirelessly...which works great if you have the hardware infrastructure) so I don't count that against it.

Compared to the Quest 3 it is, technologically, inferior in terms of cameras, passthrough, controllers, tracking, and obviously, standalone performance.

If you already own this but don't own a quest 3, the dongle or adapter or whatever, is a no brainer.

If you have a quest 3 already I would NOT* use the PSVR2 on my PC over my Quest 3 (or Varjo, or Index, or Vive XR Elite, or Pico 4).

These opinions are based on my experience of developing VR since 2014 and using almost every XR hardware/platform since then so "your mileage will vary".

 

[Goalus]

It was the only way for this thing to sell.

It still won't sell.

 

[cyberheater]

Wait, so the controllers won't work?

Yes the controllers will work on the Sony PC PSVR2 adaptor + Sony PC VR software.

I'm very much looking forward to it. I wonder how it will compare to the Pimax Crystal local dimming version.

 

[Oppoi]

It still won't sell.

I think it's still worth it though, unlike if it was made for Xbox. That would be wasted money.

 

[Kilau]

Wait, so the controllers won't work?

I mean they need to get us a fully capable Bluetooth driver since we can't use these plugged in. Hopefully it's not going to be yet another forced dongle and they can't really include it in the headset adapter since the interference would murder it. I think folks have them working on PC to some extent recently.
