      @sevn8757 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Even if it is a great experience ( and it looks like it is) a standalone headset is probably the best bet for that. I'm on PC myself and I'd have to buy a ps5 plus the headset and on top of that this wouldn't work with steam.

    • @Tezorus
      @Tezorus ปีที่แล้ว +11

      @sevn8757 Ho, yeah, sure. When you're used to pcvr It's probably better to stick with it.
      Yet for someone who only plays games on ps5, it will allow a quick and simple entry into the vr world.

    • @evolicious
      @evolicious ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Less accessible because it's connected to a console thsy not many people have though.
      If anything, console VR only further kills VR mainstreamability.
      Most people have a capable gaming pc thanks to the pandemic forcing people to get a PC.
      Then you have quest 2, which is only $300. PCVR games are all incredibly cheap too.
      PSVR2 is worse for VR accessibility.

    • @evolicious
      @evolicious ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @Tezorus which is hardly anyone considering very few people own a PS5, and those people that do, are not all going to get a $600+ VR system they more than likely won't like using.
      On top of the added expense of PSVR2 games.
      It's not going to sell well, and Sony knows that. Which is why they are not pushing any marketing for it outside of some small vr youtubers and a tiny Sony direct video on youtube.

      It is buying stuff over again that bothers me...have most titles they will likely have except exclusives so for me its not the unit price as much as PC compatibility. If I'm going to drop more than 1000 on system and some games to use it, I think the new Bigscreen Beyond VR headset is more interesting. It seems like its all about what you already are invested in. Good luck with VR in the future.

      Not so sure a few software updates will fix some of the issues.
      Ghosting at 120hz is simply a lack of system resource. Personally I get wobbly when teleporting, so always use smooth motion.
      Screen door effect. Never bothered me with the Q1, but that's a physical attribute of the lenses. Sweet spot difficulties have been mentioned by most reviewers, sure you'd eventually nail it and get used to it.
      Controller tracking (given seemingly more front focused cameras) seems a step backwards.
      That HAS the scope for SW to make slightly better imo.
      Like all of VR, we're struggling for quality content, and with CotM being 8-10 hours to finish, it's content starvation and developer apathy which is the biggest challenge still.
      PCVR (excluding the varying flat screen mods) feels pretty much dead, and Quest content is stagnant.
      Hopefully Sony's latest efforts will be a defibrillator VR 👍

    Something you might find interesting, Sony is working with VRchat to make their new body trackers compatible with Quest 2, and it’s been confirmed the trackers do work with PSVR 2 also. Makes me excited to think these full body trackers may come to PSVR 2 and given Sonys recent interest in VRchat hopefully we will see VRC as a PSVR title soon as well!

      If they put effort into VR they'd actually be making AAA VR games, not just adding some DLC or patches to non-VR games. They're actually putting in a very lazy, low-risk effort. The only company putting actual money into VR is Quest, unfortunately. I mean just take this Sony VR headset, it's what, $600, and it's just a wired screen with some controllers attached? They couldn't even bother getting rid of the wire? This is very much a low risk, low effort job by Sony. Hopefully other companies end up making some AAA games for it, but if Sony won't even put any money or effort into it, I doubt anyone else will. Nope, you'll just get more Beat Saber games and some half-assed patches for existing games.

    Thanks for sharing your experience. We've been following you for a long time, actually since you started. Mentioned once in comments how wife and I have passed the 65 yr mark so we thought it would be good for us to follow certain sites to help us along. If I could say, what a joy it's been to see you develop your passion for gaming and VR and where it has taken you. So happy for you! Though we don't own a Quest (never have) what we do have - started with PSVR1 and Samsung Odyssey, then Valve Index, HP Reverb G2, HTC Vive Pro 2 and our daily driver now, Varjo Aero - we are excited to see PSVR2. We gave PS4 and PSVR1 setup to son and grandkids, but now hope someone can get PSVR2 working on PC in the near future. As an aside, Question; Bigscreen Beyond VR being so tiny, and me needing 125 readers with Aero, is that an issue with their VR setup?

      Welcome brother, I am sooo excited for you. I couldn't imagine never having experienced VR to go straight to a PSVR2. I hope Sony is able to bring Half-Life Alyx to the system because you are in for a treat. I think the VR Star Wars games are overlooked...as a kid of the 80s they were a revelation to me!
      Give yourself time to adjust to VR. Please don't give up if you initially experience motion sickness. If you do feel it,stop and try again the next day. After a bit of time you will have your digital legs under you.
      You may even experience what many new VR players feel, feeling strange after you are back in meatspace. Enjoy this wild feeling because it is fleeting!

They’ve been cranking out trailer after trailer for games since launch and everything shown so far is set to release within the launch window of 1 month. In 1 month of release it will already have a bigger game library than the stand alone quest that’s been out for years.

    Great review. I'm curious to find out if Cinematic Mode works better this time, I remember in the PSVR 1 the Cinematic Mode the display would keep slowly shifting sideways and I had to keep resetting the view every couple of minutes. I think that was because the original PSVR didn't have internal camera tracking. With the PSVR 2 having internal camera tracking I hope CM will be a smoother and more pleasant experience.

    Great review, Defo convinced me i will get one in the next month or so, plus the real game changing element of this is devs can now get their teeth into much higher grade PC level VR Games! Good for everyone and ports!. I hope the ghosting when smooth moving can be fixed with software maybe with some FSR to smooth things out?
    I am also glad you touched on the using the headset as a tv replacement playing flat 2D PS5 games, though 1080p?? jez I hope this also improves with software!

      Its no different than Nintendo restricted their classic ips to their store. They are simply emulated games, people are doing it free on pc so its proven it works. There are people asking nintendo to do it on pc and they are willing to pay, Nintendo still doesn't do it.

    • @Robert-px7fw
      @Robert-px7fw ปีที่แล้ว

      Why is this even an issue in reality? If you have any spare USB C (fast charging) leads from mobile phones that are not being used. I have acquired several over the years. They obviously can be used. I charge my dual sense controller either separately from the wall socket or an extension lead if the PS 5 usb C port is charging my Pulse 3d headset at the same time. Any good quality fast charging USB C lead will suffice. Everyone thinks they need a dedicated charging unit for the Sense controllers but this is not correct. A simple fast charging USB C lead will suffice. Hopefully one less silly concern? Hope that's helpful?

    I'm compelled to say *thank you* for not striking the PSVR2's review down a notch or two simply because of the price of the product itself.
    I've seen countless reviews that factor the price tag explicitly as a negative, which I find absolutely conflicting because the PS5 itself didn't get dinged for technically requiring an external monitor (i.e., if you want to play PS5 in 4K, you must also spend more money on a TV or display, & likely vastly more for a 4K display).
    What's worse is if we were comparing the PSVR2 with any comparable display, it's essentially an inescapable steal at 2K & 120hz for $500. 🤷🤷‍♂🤷‍♀

    Nice review. For some people, this might be their very first VR headset. For those I would recommend looking at a few beginners guides. (maybe Mike should make an updated one) Especially if you are new to VR and have bought the horizon bundle. Take it easy at first. Motion sickness can kick in pretty quickly when you are a beginner. If you start to get light headed, stop immediately and take a break. Worst thing you can do is try and power through it, as it just makes it way worse. Then you will be out for the rest of the day. Getting the sweats is one of the first signs. It may take some time, but the more you play, the quicker you will get used to it. Once you have your VR legs though, nothing can stop you. Nothing in VR makes me motion sick now. But I am an 8 year VR veteran.
