      Man I've seen a lot of these list popping up and no love for After the Fall. Y'all missing out, it's basically a Left 4 Dead like with 4 player coop. Just buy the standard edition as the special edition just gets you skins that do nothing. It is one of the few games so far that feels like a full fledged game.
      Other games I'd like to add to your wish list are Star Wars Squadrons, Skyrim, and Doom 3.

      ​@@michaelcrowder1841 Nobody should be able to win against Vader. They should always find a story related way to maybe let you barely get away with most of your limbs. He needs to be untouchable for the legend of his. Only Luke because he didn't want to kill him came close. It should be left at that. Otherwise it's not as iconic, when he shows up.

      Whats really crazy is that every Resident Evil VR title for me has been the best VR experiences on any headset. They're really doing it right with the RE series in VR, I wish more games could figure it out. Even RE4 on the quest is basically as good as RE Village, which is crazy. It doesnt look as nice but the experience is just as good on a mobile headset. If other series figured it out like this, I'd own all the VRs

    The lineup is already pretty strong. But the rumored and announced games are what's really interesting. Half Life Alyx is heavily rumored. Firesprite (developers of Horizon call of the mountain) took over development of a Twisted Metal game last year and its rumored to be playable in VR too. And coming this year. Plus Capcom just clarified further, and said they are working on a VR mode for res 4. So now people are assuming it's not just additional dlc, but the full re4 remaster in VR. Those 3 big games will sell even more people on psvr2...

      Welcome to the world of VR! The first few weeks in VR are the hardest - one important piece of advice: If you start feeling motion sick, STOP and don't try to power through because it rarely ends well. Sounds like you're taking breaks which is absolutely the right approach. You'll develop your "VR legs" with a little patience, but resist the urge to just play on if nausea sets in because it can really mess with you for hours if it gets bad enough.
      Enjoy your new system!!

    I got a 500AUD ebgames voucher from the company I work for (15 years anniversary) so I payed only 350AUD for PSVR2 (it is around 850AUD in australia).
    This is my first VR ever and I must say that I’ve never experienced something SO FUN in my whole life.
    I only have Kayak VR and Pavlov. playing Pavlov online specially in the “among us” mode is so fun and hilarious that I lose track of time.
    The only concern I have is that I saw people saying that the batteries would last around 6h. Honestly, if I play for around 2h the batteries is almost close to flat (around 20%). Not sure if my controllers came with batteries issues….anyway, 2h is enough for me to play and then take a break while it charges

It is amazing what Sony have done, at half the cost of a PC VR headset, you get a massive IPD adjustment (going to 75mm IPD), eye tracking, foveated rendering, haptics, if we had all of these in PC VR we would be amazed!

    The PSVR 2 was my first headset, I've always been super interested but wanted a high end experience and PCVR was always a bit out of my price range. So with this headset it was finally in a place I could jump in, though I had some issues getting the IPD (finding the sweet spot was pretty tough for me) and lighting in my room right, once I did it's been phenomenal. I'm really loving it. So far I'm just playing Horizon and RE 8, and they've been awesome! I feel RE 8 is really made a lot better, and scarier through VR. Especially with the active reloads in combat, and how you have to physically use a key in places (without the game pausing like in the original version). Some things I didn't find scary before were here once it was at scale and standing right in front of me. Despite beating it several times before this and knowing what was ahead, I was still scared turning corners. It's great. I'm debating picking something else in the VR launch lineup up once I finish these, but with RE 4 Remake and Saints & Sinners CH 1 and 2 around the corner it's probably just best to wait. I'm planning to jump into Cinematic mode for RE 4 Remake to see how that is.
    I think the PSVR 2 has a lot of potential games wise, hoping to see more ports soon. Half Life Alyx is obviously the biggest, but a lot of PCVR games that I'd like to see. Plus I thought most of what was shown in the most recent State of Play looked really cool. Of those Synapse was a PSVR 2 exclusive. Plus the RE 4 Remake getting a VR mode is exclusive to PSVR 2, so I think Sony's been making a good push on that end. They own Firesprite, so hopefully their next game will feel less like an intro to vr thing and go a bit harder. I think we'll probably see more hybrid stuff from their first party studios (like GT 7 but hopefully more will use the orb controllers), along with incentivizing 3rd party devs to do hybrid titles (like Capcom and RE) and more PCVR/Quest ports. With all that Sony will come through with strong support for PSVR 2. I'm hoping VR will be a bigger deal this generation. Very excited for RE 4 Remake's VR, Behemoth, Vertigo 2 (if it gets PSVR 2 support), Foglands, S&S, and so much more. It feel like VR games are taking a big step forward this generation.

      I started with the PSVR1 back 2018 for basically the same reasons you got the PSVR2 - I didn't have a high-end PC to do VR gaming, but I wanted to try VR. I had the console (PS4 in this case, obviously) and was curious. Hope you really enjoy the VR journey and the experiences it brings. And be glad you don't have to use the wretched Move controllers for VR like I did. :) Cheers!

Also I got a free upgrade to "Job Simulator" because I owned the PSVR and bought that digitally. I'm really hoping we see more VR modes added to existing games like Red Dead and Last of Us!

    Had a couple VR headsets before this one, never got serious nausea. REVII and NMS had nothing on me. Then came Horizon. It wasn't any one thing. I had one good hour of climbing, shooting, and sprinting about. Took off the headset, went full Willem Dafoe "Oh", and bolted for the bathroom.
    Played a ton of GT7 since, fallen in love with the PSVR2, and still haven't touched Horizon again.

    I only regret getting the PSVR2 at launch.
    I don't regret getting it at launch for Gran Turismo 7 alone (in spite of it being identical design-wise to GT Sport's VR mode), but the absolutely baffling amount of missing content at launch is an inescapable outlier; I spent as much as a brand new console, but my vast (& expensive) PSVR1 library is essentially meaningless at launch (rather than implicitly being a reason TO buy it at launch). I'm optimistic that will change, but again, my only regret is the timing; I can't even test my HOTAS flight stick because there aren't any games on PSVR2 that support it (yet?), including cross-VR-platform games that were great on the PSVR1 like Ultrawings, Ace Combat 7, Star Wars Rebel Squadrons, et al.
    If I had my library or anywhere near the amount of content on PSVR or other VR systems, I'd likely be spending an unhealthy amount of time in PSVR2 rather than nothing but Gran Turismo Sport (er, Seven!). But when even the most ubiquitous VR experiences like TH-cam 360 videos or Hulu & Netflix's VR landscapes are absent, the outlier is simply (hopefully) the timing at launch. It feels like getting a brand new Ferrari but right now all you have is a wrap-around gravel driveway while they're building the road around your house.

    My guess (and hope), is the Sony is in talks with Valve to bring over Half-Life Alyx to PSVR2, and that it will be announced at a Playstation showcase just before the December holidays, so that when it is announced, people who've been waiting for Half-Life Alyx will be purchasing PSVR2 for the holidays, as it will be the system seller Sony needs to push PSVR2 to bigger audiences. Will keep on hoping for this to become a reality. Or maybe Sony is in talks with Valve and Valve are just not budging, which I would think is stupid. If we want VR to become more mainstream, you'd have as many games on as many platforms as possible. And with Sony's push to have more PC releases, hopefully PSVR2 will support PC's sometime in the future. Hell, even strike a deal to bring Horizon Call of the Mountain and other PSVR2 exclusives to SteamVR / PCVR in the future.

      There is a cheap driving stand in ebay for 16 pounds. You put the controller into a small wheel shape, connect to the stand and you are good to go with motion sensor. It really does feel like a wheel when in game. It's only plastic, but I have over 20 hours using it without problems so far. Would prefer a proper wheel set up, but health means I can't use pedals.

      Burrowed a wheel from one of my nephews. Asked around family and when he heard I had PSVR2, he offered to come up and set it up for me. Took him a couple of minutes set it up and it took me 2 hours to get him off of it.
      Have been trying it out and it is certainly a better experience, although I at times keep forgetting to steer fully as not really had to before. So I need to practice again and get into the routine.
      Not sure if I will buy this one though. It's a Hori apex, no haptic feedback, but I like it as it is quite a small size.

    Thanks for the VR love, Jake. I know it's a niche topic, but I appreciate people that are willing to cover it. I'm loving my PS VR2. The issue I'm having right now is that I have too many games to play. The criticism I keep hearing is that there are a lot of ports, but I feel like this is a similar situation to Nintendo porting a lot of their Wii U games to Switch because not a lot of people got to play them since they didn't own a Wii U. For me, I'm happy that a good amount of the games I have on the PS VR1 might go from good to great. I really liked Creed, but that PS VR1 tracking was rough. Fingers crossed the Championship Edition remedies those issues.
