PSVR2 has given me the best gaming experiences of my life. Zero regrets.
Me too, even just yesterday with the Kayak VR new level. I think the closest to reality experience i've had in VR. Im not sure why it gets such negative press. Its still way cheaper than PCVR, and Quest is more like mobile gaming to me. I also own Quest 3 and a powerful gaming PC and I still use PSVR2 the most, great experience with no faff.
I'm 65 years young been a PS player since day 1 and have never done any VR stuff until I got my PSVR2 last week with Call Of The Mountain and was blown away ! Next I played Star Wars Tales Of The Galaxy Edge & what a blast that was !
OK SCHOOL GUY VOUCHING I AM BUYING IT .
play No Man Sky and GT7 and you will be blown away even further
@@stephen729 Will do & I have a race sim seat I use for Iracing .
@@s.w.warbirds4126 thats perfect, enjoy~
I got PSVR 2 last summer. I own many headsets including quest 3. I love PSVR 2 I actually think its the Headset I enjoy the most. every one complains about not enough games are being released. but I have a queue of games I still have to play. I think it has been a bit of a hated system unnecessarily . the graphic quality, black level , colour vibrance is amazing. most the games are not casual experiences like most quest games are. yes it doesn't have pancake lenses, but the graphics processing power is so much better than quest. I totally agree with everything you say.
Peeps like to troll and hate
Yea man I've got a few games on psvr2 and quest 3 I still have to catch up on, people complaining about not enough games got too much free time and should probably go outside a bit more 😂
@@ManOnTheMoonVR I went outside, the graphics were amazing
@@linzkirk 😂🤣 and the haptics feel so real!!!
PSVR2 had literally one of the best/it’s own great VR game lineups/catalog in a year ever so far, between ports, multi-platform and exclusives. Games don’t have to be the largest scope/budget, the smaller, medium, AA/A games and experiences generally are priced accordingly, and many are stills gems and good in their own way for varying different peoples.
I have it and love it! Synapse, Legendary Tales, Resident Evil 4 and many, many more games (including quest ports) are giving me a wonderful time. I'm sure that there are still many good things to come for psvr2 users!
Don't sleep on Red Matter 2
@@MasDouc I have it!
Bought my PSVR2 two weeks after launch. It was my first experience with VR, so I don't have a frame of reference from other headsets. Still, I've absolutely loved my time with it. So many great and immersive experiences. I bought a steering wheel and steel frame support setup just for Gran Turismo 7, and that's mostly what I use to show it off to friends and family.
I hope Sony decide to show it more love. It's definitely worth the price for me. Like Sony's consoles, it needs a lot more unit-selling first-party exclusive games. I think that's how they get market share.
Great video, mate! Always love your content.
Maybe if it was 99 dollars after purchasing the ps5 but most people don't want to pay thar price after investing in the ps5 and extra ssd that's basically mandatory. That's why it failed it cost too much in a bad economy and it doesn't matter if a hundred people love it.
@StrangeWest True, I'm not going to pay for a headset that is more expensive than the ps5 itself.
@@boggydoggy281 just make a vr console and compete with the other brands and let people see what's better instead of sega cd type attachments.
If you want a library of 530 games buy an Iron Man bundle for PSVR 1. Yes its 1080p, no there's no foviated rendering so mura can be an issue, but Resident Evil 7 alone is reason enough to buy. Not to mention Farpoint, Doom VFR, Wipeout, Blood & Truth, Rush of Blood, Star Wars Squadrons, Skyrim, just to name a few of many. It also has a gun you can find on ebay for around 50 bucks or so. Love mine to this day, RE7 is my favorite experience in my whole life.
@@AntiWhiteOutcasuals outnumber gamers 5 to 1 & buy on average 9 games for a console, & most are GTa, CoD & sports. Most people aren't buying VR no matter what. Convincing gamers is no easy task either.
I have both psvr2 and had quest 2 now upgraded to the 3.
I love the psvr2. I am more committed when I play as not casual games like the pop on quest.
I got the ps5 and vr headset last march and also purchased seat and wheel set up for GT7. And am still playing it a lot, I feel like that set up alone was worth getting the headset for. Do put a fair bit of time into no man sky as well
Having both headsets I can honestly say both brilliant but completely different tools for different experiences
I have the PS2, 3, 4,and 5. I have the PSVR2 ,because I had the PSVR1 and loved it. I also have the Oculus 1, 2, and 3. Love them all.
Being multiplatform also, there's not much on PSVR2 that I don't already own on PCVR and standalone. The few exclusives they have are really good, but i was expecting A LOT more hybrid games by now. I still like my PSVR2, but have barely touched it since UEVR was released.
Understandable but our expectations need to be realistic for the first year. I think a lot of us got lost in the hype where we were expecting things that were not plausible
@@Jdb63 I only blame myself for buying into the content creator's narrative of Sony making lots of hybrids. I'm not sure why I believed it without officially hearing it from Sony.
I love your shirt! haha
The price can definitely throw down new comers from wanting to purchase it giving the price comparison to the PS5. I know that in your last podcast some of you mentioned that you would purchase a $1K Quest, but the issue is that most gamers are cheap and that would definitely not drive sales. In the gaming industry, consoles are usually sold at a lost while the profit is made with the games.
I would love to get a PSVR2 due to the exclusive library! But right now I'm good with the one headset. There's personally no exclusive games right now for me that makes me want to say "Wow! I have to get that headset!". What I'm about to say may be eye rolling, but I'm ok with playing the resident evil games on flat screen.
PSVR2 is one of the best purchases I´ve ever made in my life! one year of pure fun ♥
got mine back last year, last day off may to be precise 😂
play a few games tbh, main games are GT7, legendary tales and toy trains ATM
always played GT7 since i got it though, got about 300hrs on it upto date (Logitech G29) not the greatest steering wheel but it really enhances the experience.
genuinely really happy with my gaming experience and how many games the is available.
can’t wait for the ps5 pro to come out, gonna grab one next year i think, will be better in every aspect no doubt.
I completely agree with your assessment on the PS VR2. I owned the original PS VR and bought the PS VR2 on release day. I love this for games. I bought a Quest 3 several weeks ago and love this, too, but for different reasons. ("Asgard's Wrath 2" is a cool game on the Quest but I like the AR apps the most.) I think Sony views the PS VR2 as an accessory the the PlayStation 5 and does not promote this headset because it does not financially make sense to do so. What the PS VR2 needs is a general adoption of VR for all platforms. No amount of "AAA" PS VR2 games will get people to commit to a $550 purchase. No amount of ads will do it either.
For most people, strapping a computer monitor (or full computer) onto one's head is new. I consider this technology to be akin to the adoption of color TV or personal computers.
When color TV came out in 1953, people slowly adopted it. It was only in 1965 that the major networks aired prime-time shows in color. Half of households owned a color TV by 1972. This is almost twenty years from the start and seven years after networks broadcast in color. Personal computers were for hobbyists in the late seventies. When business apps came out, these turned these into must-need devices. It took twenty years for half of households to own a personal computer. This is the same timeline.
Early VR for the consumer market started in 1995, but I think the Oculus Rift in 2013 might be a closer start date. Most headsets in the 2015 timeline, so that might be the best start date. I think half will own a VR headset by 2035. If must-have apps hit, it might be as soon as 2030 -- six years off.
I'm torn. I've had both PSVR2 & Quest 3 since launch, and yet, I just don't have that much desire to go back to my PSVR2 anymore. The terrible tiny sweet spot, cable, bulky front visor/chunky aesthetics, awful discomfort(Thanks to it's flimsy cheap zero padded light shield), onion ring controllers, Numberless IPD dial, no mixed reality, black & white pass through, high persistence blur OLED display(Quest 3 has zero motion blur by compariosn), god rays, mura, glare and weaker clarity make it difficult to back. It feels dated in most ways, with the exception of black levels, colours, controller haptics, adaptive triggers and the higher horse power(Vs Stand alone Q3) of the PS5, and soon to be PS5 Pro Enhanced.
An ideal scenario for me would be a PSVR2 Revision + a PS5 Pro. But that doesn't exist right now, and most likely never will.
Quest 3 + a PC(4090) is the best overall combination. RE7 VR & RE Village VR mods exist now on PC. We just need Astro Bot Rescue Mission & the 'shark encounter' from Ocean Descent off PSVR2 Worlds. Drives me batty knowing they've both been left for dead on PSVR1. If they get ported over to PSVR2 with enhancements I'll bite day one!
As for PSVR2 sales. They'll never budge no matter how many amazing AAA titles land in it's library, because the headset itself is full of blemishes. One just needs to look at the thing and they'll be running for the hills. Bulky front visor, tethered to a cable, rings encapsulating the controllers....Once they get it on they'll soon realize how terrible the sweet spot is, how uncomfortable it is to wear, the god rays seeping off the white text in the home menu, the high persistence motion blur, glare etc. It's a messy headset with too many glaringly obvious issues that most people will not be able to get on board with.
If Sony doesn't use the Quest 3 as a template, and do a revision, the PSVR2 is done, regardless of how many owners love the thing. I really enjoyed my experience with RE Village, and most of RE4 VR, including Moss Book 2. But most of the other stuff I've played left a sour taste in my mouth. At least we have Metro Awakening coming this year. :P
@@NeonPizza80s I agree, but I still flip between the PSVR2 and the Quest 3. Once adjusted properly, the image on the PSVR2 looks quite good. Yes, there can be some blur, God rays and mura, but this is overcome with the brilliant colors, deep blacks/whites, with haptic feedback in the controllers and headset. The eye tracking also allows for clear graphics when used in a game. Wireless is nice on the Quest 3, but the unit, with a battery, is noticeably heavy. On the PSVR2, the cable isn't too bad to deal with. Once immersed, I find the PSVR2 to be a blast.
Sony will sell a number of PSVR2 units if they someday allow a cable connection straight to a pc to run Steam games with haptic support. If this does well for Sony, they might someday put out another VR unit, but I doubt it. The PSVR2 is quite good for this generation but it isn't perfect. It has strengths against the Quest 3. I hope that indy developers will continue to put out games for it. Vertigo 2 is a blast.
@@kevinrush8830
Well, the funny thing about Sony's high persistence OLED display, is that you can actually get the persistence very low once you belt back the 'VR Brightness' slider dial down to zero, which is in the VR headset icon pop up menu. That slider controls brightness and motion simultaneously. At zero, the motion clarity gets closer to Quest 3's, but unfortunately you're only left with 65nits of brightness, which makes VR games look lifeless and dim depending on what you're playing. Games that force HDR, like Resident Evil 4 & Village for example on PSVR2, create severe black crushing if you drop the slider dial too low. you have to have it at about 75%-100% to get the proper HDR effect, but motion clarity gets blurry as result. Double edged sword in the end. Q3 imo, finds a better balance of blur-free motion with reasonable brightness that doesn't look dim at all. It's just too bad about it's lighter black levels and less vibrant/rich colours.
Quest 3 by comparison has near CRT blur free motion at a noticeably brighter 85nits(Compared to PSVR2's 65). And sure, the Q3 maybe be a little heavier, but I'm totally cool with that because it's THAT much more comfortable with an elite strap + Silicon User interface when pressing against your face. PSVR2 kills the bridge of my nose. I'm going to have to look into getting a 3rd party light shield instead off Amazon, because I still want to give the headset a chance. Not ready to give it up entirely just yet, especially if an Astro Bot Rescue Mission port gets announced, or if they magically decide to port over the Shark Encounter from PSVR worlds from PSVR1. ;)
And i have yet to try Vertigo 2. I was thrown off because it has teleportation based movement instead of analog, and it supposedly has a handful of bugs that still haven't been ironed out compared to the PC version. Oh well, it IS on sale. I think i might just have to give it a shot! :D
Resident Evil Village & Moss: Book 2 are still the ultimate PSVR2 showpieces imo. RE4 VR Mode, has it's moments for sure, but it's so inconsistent with it's resolution and graphics and the knife parrying in VR felt like a mess.
One year anniversary for PSVR2, my VR experience, and how long I've followed this channel for me.
Originally, i promised to get my daughter the PSVR, and I ended up getting my hands on a PS5 instead, and when they announced PSVR2, I promised my daughter I would get it for her.
I would definitely recommend a PSVR2 to people I'm blown away and ended up adding a Quest 3 to our VR family.
How is the Quest 3 compared to the PSVR 2?
@@matthiasschuster9505 I'm not going to lie. Jumping from PSVR2 to Quest 3 was a little overwhelming.
There's so much choice game wise, I don't know where to start after getting a couple of games I was aware of on Quest, the main one being Assassins Creed.
I love the Quest+ subscription with the free games, too, we've had the Quest a few months now, and I'm still finding new things I can do.
@@DruGunners Interesting, thanks. I think this shows, how important the game selection is. I would have anticipated that you comment on the lower picture quality of the Q3
@@matthiasschuster9505 Sure, there is that, but to be honest, the games aren't too bad, I'm currently playing Red Matter, and it looks really good for an old game.
PSVR2 is still my main headset, though it's where it all started for me.
Legendary Tales is fantastic, we need more games like this. Glad I bought a VR 2.
How do I let ppl know? I invite them over to try it out. "WTF????"" or similar variations, are always the initial reaction
I bought the VR2 solely to play GT7, and dont regret that decision. In fact, Ive bought a direct drive wheel - AUS $2000 - and a dedicated aluminium profike cockpit - - AUS$1350 - to further enhance the immersion.
As for your channel, I subbed immediately. Love it! 😊
I have a quest 3 and a psvr2. As much as i love my quest 3 it has been collecting dust as of late due to RE4 and Legendary Tales. If there is a game trust comes out multi-platform then its a no brainer for me i am playing it on psvr2! Psvr2 is amazing and my backlog is crazy large already!! If you love vr then you should have this headset for the best premium experience. I am hoping with the regime change at Sony fully pushes this amazing headset this year!! Great video man!!
I don't own a PSVR2 because I don't do flat gaming and $1,050 is more than I want to spend for a corded console VR experience. However, I hope Sony sells tons of them and a massive amount of games too. We need Sony in this market because Sony has a lot to offer and competition breeds inovation. We need to eventually have a PSVR3.
I desperately would like to buy the PSVR2, but the price is the biggest barrier for me. I just cant justify the cost.
@ktasty221 it's £329.99 at smiths toy superstore now, you buying it?
@@VeriMuthu I’m American lmao
It's 350 right now
On sale at best buy right now 200 off
Now I'm playing NMS which on Psvr2 is fantastic.
Did you ever play NMS on the PSVR1? is the difference drastic?
@@visualfernomenal never had a psvr1 but from what i've heard, yes, of course the difference is drastic
@@visualfernomenalIt's.. beyond drastic! It's one of the sharpest, crispest PSVR 2 games out there after the patch dropped! In comparison with PSVR 1 it's night-and-day
@@visualfernomenal The difference is huge, on Psvr2 it is perfect.
@visualfernomenal it's so much more clearer than on PSVR and the controls are loads better on PSVR2 version.
I bought it at launch because I love PSVR 1. Did wind up upgrading the cushioning to the Globular Cluster and haven't looked back at all. Loved playing through Resident Evil Village, both the Red Matter games, The Walking Dead:Saints and Sinners games, Moss 1 & 2, Synapse, and am currently losing hours to Legendary Tales, No Man's Sky, and RE4: Remake There are plenty of games in the library to justify intrest already and more bangers coming out weekly.
Love your honesty man. That's why your content rocks! I hope the PS VR2 Faithful go easy on you 👍
Appreciate you dude
If your a gt7 player with steering wheel is this worth it been thinking about trying the vr experience
Where do I get those headphones??? Looks sick
I got the headset in May and I get peoples concern with it, for me though with gt7 is amazing. I still keep buying games for it, but I don’t play them. Whenever I put it on, it’s straight into my rig and gt7 because to me that is the killer app. I also own the q3 and previously the q2 and I play that for other vr games quite a bit plus iracing in the rig. Love vr and this headset is great. Hoping that with the eyes on apple, Sony might realise the possibility of pushing this super bit of hardware.
I do wished I liked gt7 because it’s the only vr racing game and I just can’t stand it. I’m hoping other racing games will come but I doubt it. Such a shame and missed opportunity.
I got wait to build my rig and get my wheel. That was the main reason I got my quest 3 but I’ve been having a blast with other games
@@CraziFootball it’s fantastic, just got the q3 dialled in with iracing. Such a good experience :)
@@grahamkelly8662 well if the vr2 does because me pc, you have iracing, acc, ac f122 and 23, rfactor 2, ams 1 or 2. There is surely something that will click ( rally games too).
@@markpeck8308 unfortunately, I don’t have a pc. I did think about possibly buying 1 in future but only for sim racing and triple screens. But I’m more then happy on ps5 for now. I’m guessing a pc and triple screens are I’ll cost about £5,000 and I don’t have that, right now.
I love mine, and I don’t regret it at all. Just make sure you get the globular cluster headset mod
Great video. Had mine since launch. I have read they are working to improve the reprojection quality. I hope this is true as the discomfort I feel in some games really makes me feel queezy. I don’t think I have really made the effort to push my friends to buy it yet. I have told them to wait as the games roadmap isn’t very high profile. That’s the point right? People want to see the Sony titles and sadly there just aren’t many apart from the ones around launch. I am personally glad I got mine and don’t regret it.
I'm a day one owner. I share my PSVR2 with my wife (she loves Puzzling Places and Moss). I loved my psvr1, and I wanted to upgrade. Resident Evil Village and No Man's Sky were the games I wanted to play in VR, with great graphics.
The biggest problem I have is the lack of retro-compatibility of most of my PSVR1 games. I really wish I could play Hitman Trilogy, WIpeOut omega collection or Skyrim with my PSVR2 (especially since my old PSVR headset is barely functioning because of its worned cable).
The games I play the most : RE8 and RE4, Synapse, No Man's Sky, Ancient Dungeon, Red Matter 1+2.
I love Wipeout omega collection, ASTRO BOT, and RE 7 in PSVR1, Still waiting for retro compatibility.
@@carlosb8130 I forgot Astrobot and RE7. These games are so fun. They would be incredible with a PSVR2.
I absolutely love my PSVR2. I honestly think it's all about expectations. When I stopped hoping for Sony to release games like Uncharted VR (not gonna happen) I started discovering a ton of new IPs created for VR by minor studios.
I liked Horizon Call of the Mountain, Resident Evil 4 was stellar, GT7 is unbelievable ......Red Matter 2, C-Smash, just started Switchback.....honestly I feel like I experiment a lot more.
I only need an Astrobot sequel or port and I'll be happy.
Exactly!
Great vid as always and forever with the GG GT! 👊😎
Appreciate you man.
Synth Riders has been my most played game since launch as I love rhythm games in VR (including Beat Saber). The Moss games, Pistol Whip, Horizon COTM, RE 4 and Village have been absolute stand outs for me. Synapse I still want to try/buy and I want to get back into GT7. For me, it's been a great first year of PSVR2 gaming.
You are a true VR addict, without question. I felt the same way you do about flat games at this point until Divinity Original Sin 2 came along and changed all that!
Bought it at launch. Love it, worth every penny. Played with it more than flat gaming.
i really enjoy my psvr2. when i wear it it's like wearing the Cadillac of vr headsets. i think my biggest complaint has always been controller battery life, or the fact they don't top off until they are drained down to a certain level. As far as selling the headset goes i had a friend that literally bought psvr2 for village, so good i
p. is what's needed to sell the headset. Sony needs to care like Zuckerberg does. If they did they would have pushed twice or more units by now.
I've had mine since launch and I still love it.
PC support coming this year changes everything? Do I replace my pico 4 with this? Mainly sim racing.
Love my PSVR2. With the amount of games coming this year it's going to be an incredible year.
This is how I see . Slow start but soon some great games
Amount of games coming??😂
@bagadule Karen you should play flat games we only want positive people in our VR community.
If you have a PS5 and haven’t gotten the PSVR with those current sale making it $350. You need to, it’s amazing.
I’m thinking about getting it with this current sale. I’m afraid I’m going to hit my TV though !
My PS5 : Psvr1 and psvr2 connected,I LOVE VR of Sony
Being a day 1 psvr1 owner, it was a no brainer for me to upgrade. I haven't been disappointed with the headset itself, since I've seen what it can do, but I have been upset with some devs/games. Too many broken or crap ports that I was hyped for.
I currently own 110 psvr2 games and do not regret my purchase. I've supported vr since its inception, and I will continue to
How many? Wow!
Are there even 110 of them? Lol
Got mine because of GT7 and your video about saints and sinners.
I play GT7 and the light brigade almost daily. imho it’s still worth it but Sony really need to step up their game. Horizon : CotM was very disappointing compared to their games released on PSVR 1 (Astro, London heist game)
Tried to convince two friends of mine but their VR legs were not as developed. They almost vomited due to GT7 (now I have a fanatec driving set that’s not as common anymore)
I LOVE my psvr2. So many great games. Gt7, resi 4, resi village, Propagation, red Matter 2 are some of the best games I've ever played.
Because they are the only games you enjoy 😂
Legendary Tales, Ancient Dungeon, Light Brigade, Synapse, Walkabout, Racket Fury, Synth Riders, Cosmic Smash, Horizon CotM, other miscellaneous
Then they should bring the price to 99. Who wants to pay 400 then 200 for extra memory and then another 299? They did that to themselves, now it's dead.
@@AntiWhiteOut PlayStation Vita 2.0
@MementoMori_2070 when they decide to do a stand alone vr console with better specs and let us decide if we want to go vr gaming or traditional console gaming so its not some crazy price, then I would invest if I saw enough good reviews and the games looked really enjoyable.
I think we can have a conversation about disappointment if there are no games in a year, but as of now (the tail end of the first year), the system has had a breakout first year: about 7 VR exclusives, many of which are top-tier experiences. Let's put things into perspective: that's A LOT of exclusives. Period. And it also has some of the best multi-plat versions of games, including PCVR games playable at high quality that aren't accessible to the vast majority of VR gamers due to cost of high-end PC. This would be a lot of exclusives and top-tier games for even a mainline console! And already we have Metro announced and upcoming, and a new Astro reported to be coming.
How many year-one exclusives would it take to be satisfied? 10 exclusives? 12 exclusives?
I can't say that 2024 will be a good year, because it's just gotten started. But to look at PSVR2's first year with disappointment is a bit odd given its impressive showing. At the very least it should inspire a wait-and-see, rather than a doom-and-gloom outlook.
It has a doom & gloom sales numbers because it’s not selling as well as Sony was expecting
As someone who considered buying it the two main reasons I’ve decided not to is because
1. Price - costs just as much as the PS5 itself
2. No backwards compatibility
3. I can just buy the PS VR 1 for less than 1/3 of the cost & still get a really good experience
@@ninjashep5264 This is precisely why the media is so insidious. PSVR2 is a transformative VR experience (significantly beyond what most gamers or VR gamers have experienced), you've done yourself a disservice by skipping the hardware based on the reasons outlined. Seriously.
I would suggest trying it out before deciding to pass on it.
@@SeanLumlywell this didn't age well
@PicklePete69 It hasn't ages at all.
The only people continually dumping on PSVR2, are people that have never used it.
@SeanLumly I said that because Sony has stopped support for it
Excellent game library + headset haptics. Day one owner and still loving it.
I just bought No Man’s Sky for PSVR2 and am really enjoying it. I use my quest 3 as my daily driver
Quest is my daily driver too
Just ordered mine. See how it goes 😀 been putting off purchasing one for a while
Just ordered it since it is on sale, so excited to finally get to play with it
I have to say the PSVR2 has made me a hard core VR gamer. I had the first one but sold it after a month. The last year has been in my opinion phenomenal.
Just playing RE4, GT7 and Walkabout has given me my moneys worth and a lot more. At the same time I am also a realist and realise there aren't going to be those types of games in VR every month, it's just not realistic to expect that.
Anyways if you just objectively go through the exclusives as well as the impressive ports, you cannot deny it has been a pretty epic first year of the headset despite the narrative.
A few days ago, I played Kayak Mirage for the first time, and I was amazed at the colors and clarity. I have a bunch of VR games I like, including GT7, Moss Book 2, and Red Matter 2. There's a video that shows Red Matter 2 looks much better on PSVR2 than on Quest 2, so I had to get it for PSVR2 even though I have Quest 2. I can't wait for the release of the PSVR2 PC adapter, so I can see what Half Life Alyx looks like with PSVR2.
I have just order mine with horizon and the controller charging dock. Got a decent £90 off the bundle which was nice. I only very briefly played the original PSVR on PS4 and thought it was very good, but cable management was a serious afterthought 😅… from some of the reviews I’ve seen and the tech they have in PSVR2 I am super excited to try a few games out. Very much looking forward to the newly announced Alien VR game and Metro. Really hope this becomes a new passion for me in the gaming space, since I have become somewhat bored of the current lineup this past year.
Can I use this as an alternative to a tv screen so others can use the tv while I'm playing.
I love the psvr2, I didn't own a playstation so had to get both that and the headset and I haven't regretted that at all, well maybe when I bought firewall lol. My most played game is no mans sky.
Im so happy with my psvr2. I don't get why ppl think that there are no games to play, I struggle to keep up with all the games that are releasing.
I have enjoyed pcvr and quest for years, but some times it was hard to find games that had solid gameplay and kept me enjoying it for hours. Most games was fun for an hour or two. Its fine for content creation, but games you could dive deep into was missing.
Pcvr had some great years back in 2018-2019 with Asgards Wrath, Stormland, Boneworks, Saints and Sinners and ofc Half Life Alyx. But after that quality died slowly.
With psvr2 we got 4-5 aaa titles and a handful of great indie games in just its first year. And many of them are real games with alot of hours in them. And more will come.
Which other headset have ever released with this many great things to play 😊
Cos they are trolls
Sony knew Eyetracked-Foveated-Rendering was the key VR needed to make GREAT games easier to make. Now we just need ALL headset makers to use it too so that VR can finally take off and not flounder like its been doing. DFR is the future if we want VR to survive. :)
🎉Yell it from the rooftops!🎉
We lost those big AAA VR native games on PCVR. However, there are tons of well done VR ports of good flatscreen games. So you have the immersion and other benefits of VR, but with the visuals, gameplay, and content that's on an AAA level. Mobile chipsets are progressing nicely, so eventually we'll get PCVR graphics wireless without a PC. Or, VR cloud gaming will be viable.
So I use mine nearly every say, sometimes for several hours.
I have to confess that I went all in on GT7, been a Gran Turismo player since the first and I love it, so bought a decent rig, an 8nm DD Pro and upgraded pedals with a load cell brake. So admittedly quite a bit has been spent.
But it's fantastic. I love it so much, it's my happy place. I play one player content and online racing, and I can't go back to flat. It's just not the same as feeling like you're sat in the car. The interiors are brought to life. The character of the cars shines through in a way that the flat screen just can't match.
I live in fear of Sony dropping VR, which they might easily do, and when GT8 comes out, there being no VR option. I will mourn that day, and I don't know, it could spell the end of my 27 year relationship with GT, because I don't think I could go back to flat racing.
I play other games on it too, been loving Ultrawings 2 recently, No Mans Sky I have hundreds of hours in, but for me GT7 is the killer. Genuinely love it.
Ooooh mama, put VR helldivers 2 into my brain.
It runs 1080p 60fps on ps5 that shit ain't running in vr lol
@@TheSparkynuts don't bring reality into this 😂
Fair lol, I want it to man lol I'm loving the game
Plug it directly into my veins intravenously
it plays in 3rd person tho. I don't think it would be that good.
Bought mine in September and i love it. So many games to play, my backlog is already huge. Had a quest 2 for about 2 years and didnt use it nearly as much as im using my psvr2
I'm a self admitted PSVR fanboy. I think while the headset isnt perfect, it offers a balanced package for the price. The games catalog is great although it has some holes that need to be filled out. I think as the years progress, the devs will more consistently start to take advantage of the power and features and put up the quality, mind blowing content GT referred to in the video.
Just got it today…I’m very excited for what the future has in store.
Can you play back games like moss (psvr) on the psvr2?
I've only played gran turismo on psvr2 but that was my main reason for the purchase. I have a sim rig and was torn between going pc and buying triple monitors for the rig. I enjoy gran turismo a ton on VR.
I’m definitely interested now due to the massive price drop here in the UK…some retailers are selling it for as low as £329 which is a steal and is definitely going to put it in a lot more households. 👏🏻🙏
Also, to add. This is a fantastic balanced review. Some other Vr influencers bash psvr2 for views, when in 1 Yr of psvr2, it has more aaa games than the last 5 yrs of pc and quest combined
Thanks Roy 🤜🤛
😂😂😂 total bullshit
@bagadule what's bullshit? I have more games to play on my pc/quest 3 than psvr2, but less AAA games.
Good video, dude - and feelings and thoughts that I think we are all sharing.
Let's hope Sony lower the price of the PSVR2, and give more people a chance to get into such a good headset, as I think price is the biggest issue.
Cheers man
I have only used mine a few times. I pre ordered it for the exclusives but i use my quest way more since i already had a big library there and i gameshare with my bro
Love it, wish there were more racing games available, GT7 is great really, but also would love to see F123 and ACC, they both have PCVR support, but not PSVR2
Can't get enough of this headset. Absolutely mind blowing and I am stacked with games. Can't keep up!
I don't think it's true they aren't pushing it. They've done a lot to bring quality games to it. They can't be aggressive with marketing cos it's not like standalone where u just advertise the HMD and that's it, they can only sell it to the PS5 owners.
I think a lot of the issues you mentioned are down to proframmers cos some games have no reprojection or mura. Sony are fighting a losing battle in terms of sales or enticing people who are curious about VR, standalone is the obvious choice for that, but they're the only ones truly bringing triple A To VR outside of mods.
Reasons I am totally satisfied with PSVR2 and not tempted by standalone -
* Triple A VR
* Head haptics
* Not having to charge my headset every 2 hours of use
* reliability
* comfort
* ease of use
* eye tracking is insane
* OLED screen, so nice.
But yea hopefully devs will more often squeeze rhe best out of it in future. We know what's possible, we know the games that have released under par were due to the devs not the hardware.
But I'm not blind to its short comings.. main 2 - needs 3D movie support.. and they need to sell spare controllers even if its just via Sony direct.
Sorry but I think the Oled screen is rubbish. The high brightness gives incredible nasty headache. There’s just no need for it. Eye strain /headache because blinding light, is horrible. Oled on vr just doesn’t make sense.
@@grahamkelly8662 so, err.. maybe just turn the brightness down if that's an issue for you?
It's the contrast and colours of HDR that male it amazing for me. Resi village the lanterns in dark passages etc, gt7, when the sun glints in the corner of your eye.. horror games with pure blacks, it's just gorgeous imo
I recently bought the psvr2 just for gt7 as i have a dedicated rig and wanted to bring immersion to another level. So far i love it.
Just ordered mine now since it's on discount and is finally not more expensive than the console itself.
I have the previous Playstation VR so i am eager to see the improvement.
I bought a Brand New Horizon Bundle on EBay for $350 … bought it because I got to try it and want to explore more with it
Thank you for emphasizing which builds are best on psvr2, even if not exclusive. I like to buy the best build of a game.
So I'm definitely wanting to get a new headset for 2024 however I'm really not sure which to get. I'm torn between the PSVR 2 and the Oculus 3. I have the Oculus 2 but I'm not a huge fan of it due to the image quality and I do get motion sickness with some VR titles like Resident Evil 4. I believe I most likely will still get some motion sickness with the PSVR 2 and the Oculus 3 but I'm down to give either one of them a try. I'm mostly interested in how they both compare when connecting them to a PC. I have a strong Laptop with a 4080. I also have a desktop that has a 4090 but I don't have too much room in that space to move around in so I'll most likely be using the VR headset for PC gaming on the laptop 4080. Which of the 2 headsets do you believe would look better in PC VR? I hear the pancake lenses make a big impact but I'd also think that OLED black levels would also make a huge impact as well. I also would assume that the PSVR2 is more comfortable but I'm not sure on it. Since the PSVR2 will be coming to PC later this year do you think it'll beat out the Oculus 3 with a high end laptop connected to it?
The safe bet is the Quest 3. Pancake lenses give you a much wider sweet spot and without the use of eye tracking a higher fidelity image. You’ll also have wireless VR and colour pass through with Mixed Reality and a much bigger library of games.
@@GAMERTAGVR Thanks for the super fast feedback!
There's loads of top games on PSVR2. There's no VR platform that can compete with the quality of the games line up of PSVR2. And that's just in one year! Unfortunately it's sold bad and Sony have got sound business reasons left it to the wayside. We're still looking at Metro coming as well as probably one or 2 big games next year. I didn't expect any more, it's incredible.... The Dreamcast didn't sell well and that was awesome with awesome games.
I brought a psvr2 because I already had a ps5 and res8/4, ite my first and only headset so far, really enjoying it myself. But I get why some are put off £500+ is steep price esp when big parts of the world are in recession, And i think you can get even the quest three for around £450 with that Asgard's wraith game that does look amazing. Great and fair review ty.
I think it needs the ps5 pro to push more games through at 120hz and we'll see even more then. Bought mine to enhance my sim racing experience in gt7 and it has delivered. If they got that to native 120 that would be incredible. Other games have been a bonus and there has been quite a few to be honest. Again we are a year in and a AAA game takes 3 years min to develop. So I'd like to imagine there is a AAA or 2 that are about 1.5-2 years in now. If the pro comes out end of year they will coincide with that.
Well that’s not gonna happen if Sony announced the ps5 is coming to end of its life cycle
@@Brasslantern007 latter stage, latter half. It released late 2020 so just over 3 years. PS4 was 7 years I believe. Doubt they will shorten that to much under 6 years with ps5 otherwise a pro wouldn't be worth releasing. The pro is likely to get 2 years. If that's powerful enough to run current gen all at 120hz what need is there for a ps6? Other technology would have to catch up first and be affordable and what is there?! 8k? Not really necessary under 40inch.
You really think that people are not flocking to PSVR2 becuase the framerate is not 120?
@@enginerunsable we don't no the figures yet it's minimum on par with psvr1. There are some figures out there showing it at 33% first quarter and 29% second quarter 30% third last year of all vr sales and obviously went down at quest 3 release in 4th. It's very unclear wether they include Sony direct sales as Sony haven't released figures yet.
Being on par with psvr1 isn't bad either considering the competition now compared to then. Average near third of the market share competing against standalone is hardly a disaster when you just entered it is it?!
@@enginerunsable global xr market share if you want to take a look.
Played Virtuality in around 1987. Blew me away. Finally got my PS5 and VR2 this month. Wow. It was worth the wait.
I got the PICO4, just bought a PS5 for GT7 so is it worth buying the PSVR2 just to play GT7?
Wait you can't play helldiver's 2 in the 2d screen cause that 100 off open box for like 390 has me thinking about getting one
I like this guy, very nice discussion and approach. I’m buying it for my 8yr old as a birthday present.
PSVR 1&2 is all i use for my gaming needs, there are still a few flat games left in my backlog but i find it hard to return to a tv screen after seven years full of VR. It feels stale, outdated and underwhelming to me. I'm still tied to the PS ecosystem for VR, but it's already hard to keep up with everything i want to play at the moment so that's fine by me. Maybe i'll buy the Quest 3 Lite in the future because i have zero interest in AR/MR and just want access to the VR content on that system too eventually. For now i play GT7, RE7, RE8 and RE4, Alvo, Breachers, Wipeout Omega, Astrobot, Vampire TMJ, Vertigo 2, Saints & Sinners, Galaxy Kart, Synapse, Ultrawings 2, Skyrim VR and whatnot on both PSVR's and i'm having a blast doing so!🔥
So far I have beat 2 games on it vertigo 2 and resident evil village I don't usually finish games especially VR games but this headset makes me want to beat the games. Psvr2 is the best of all worlds the next game I'm looking forward to is wanderer it looks great excited for that but I love the headset so far
I just bought my psvr2 the other day at the PX bc I heard about the adapter coming out for PC n that was always my concern when it came to buying a VR headset I didn't want to have two different headsets so when I saw it at the PX on post I impulse bought it bc also PX's don't do sales taxes n I also have a few vr games for my ps5 already due to ps plus n the ps plus collection
Got my brother in law to buy it after having him and his kids play Call of The Mountain and Pistol Whip. It is a great experience and I want something easy to plug and play when people are over.
I bought it mainly for GT7. That’s my go to game and absolutely amazing.
Playing beat sabres, I never played that before, so great surprise there. I do miss super hot from psvr1, but so many good games I haven’t even tried yet.
I love this system, I think it needs TH-cam 3d , or some 3d movie experience or something similar to attract the masses, but still well worth the purchase.
Just bought one. Should have it in 5-6 days. Looking forward to GT7 in VR
You said it, there was a lot of l anticipation at launch for VR2 along with 5-6 worthy titles and they've left it there without any momentum follow up.
I'm interested in playing Resi 4 & Village as free upgrades for the VR2 but I'm not really that eager paying £530 just to enjoy VR2 experience with very few major titles on it
I plan to get it this year but I need a few more games to come out for PSVR2 before I dive in 🙂.
Welllllll
I recently bought the psv2 when Sony had the sale so i jumped . I only experience a few demos but Star Wars was awesome. Gt7 is crazy on it , RE Village is good but im happy with my purchase.
I got one on launch day, I've had the best and worst of times with it in terms of quality of games. The headset is quality and the controllers are amazing apart from the grip button. I'm still holding out hope for more amazing games with the same level of quality as legendary tales.
Oh wow! Legendary Tales was your highlight? May I ask what you thought of RE4 and RE8? Just curious! Edit: And HCotM of course.
@gogreengameon2146 Both resident evil games were really good but the reprojection really makes the visuals suffer. I've played through both games multiple times but that's because the game is good, not particularly because they look the best. Which is not to say they look terrible.
@gogreengameon2146 horizon was OK but not amazing and again the level of reprojection really damages the whole experience.
Reminds me of when I first discovered video games exceptionally immersive experience
what mic is that?
I just bought one during recent sale im blown away!!!!!
The BEST upgrade for PSVR2 is the Globular Cluster accessory. Worth the money.
I play Swordsman, Pavlov, No Man Sky, Gran Tourismo and The Walking Dead. I was gonna try Legendary Tales but after I went back to play Battle Talent on the Quest 3, I never realized how good of a game that already was. I heard Vertigo 2 wasn’t as good as it was on PC so i didn’t get that either but im hoping Ghost of Tabor comes to PSVR2 soon
I’ve had it since launch day. Still play it every day. I love GT7 and Pavlov the most. I bought a rig to race and everything.
Would love to see those. PlayStation are probably enjoying full profits from only selling their own racing sim I guess. Can't blame them, but yeah, it would be nice. I'm wondering where WipeOut is still. Know it's not a sim, but I think they own that studio too, maybe.
I have a question:
The guy at "0:53", who plays Gran Turismo 7. Does anyone knows, what Racing Wheel he is using?
For me, it looks kinda like the "Xbox360 Wireless Speed Wheel", which i love until today, but i found nothing what it could be. Or maybe it's just a "fake" Scene, i dont know.
Anyone a clou?
RE4R VR machine now, and I'm not mad about it, I love it for that. God I just wish I could use the headset on PC it feels like a natural upgrade from Odyssey+. And I also wish I could use mods on PS5 but whatever...
I've beaten RE4R VR 5 times now, and I still get the itch to play it. Such a phenomenal experience
@@Jdb63 I know right, same for OG on Quest, RE4 in general is such a good game in all aspects
I love vr in general. I'm almost 40 and as a kid I wasn't sure if I'd ever get to see decent vr gaming. Anywho, you really can't beat the experience that is GT7. I love cars so it's right up my alley. Resident evil was genuinely scary on psvr1. I haven't tried Resident evil on psvr2 just yet. Breachers is pretty cool. The headset is comfortable enough. I play gt7 for hours sometimes. The graphics are very good. I am desperate for more titles but I do not regret my purchase in any way. I'm still hanging in there. GTA6 VR would change the world, I promise you
just ordered one from you video 👍👍 £349 on amazon
I always said to friends that my PSVR2 is like going to a theme park everyday.
I bought a PSVR2 a couple weeks after it came out. I bought it because I’ve always had the upmost faith in PlayStation and everything they release. Although I did get the psvr1 and took it back under a year in as I didn’t use it.
PSVR2 however, is such a massive leap from the first and I don’t intend on returning it. It’s beautiful and easily accessible; I’m just hoping and praying for better coverage of games. It has so much potential but hasn’t hit it… mostly. So many games showcase what it can do and makes me excited for more; the PC Support will definitely help; but I’m praying; because of Covid, and later latches to PSVR2; that they just needed more time to bring out brand new PSVR2 games.
Brought mine at launch and still use it every day .I do wish that it supported 3d movies even psvr had that
The persistence is crazy high!
