After getting to spend time with PlayStation VR2 at a hand-on event recently, it’s clear the headset is a huge leap from Sony’s predecessor released back in 2016.

PS VR1 already had a comfortable design compared to the competition, and PS VR2 simply iterates on that. You place the headset over your head and then slide the screen towards your eyes at a distance that suits you, making it especially comfortable for users who wear glasses.

Besides how it feels on your head, the big difference, of course, comes from what you can see inside. With a 4K OLED HDR display, VR images are ridiculously crisp, while an increased field of view of about 110 degrees, up from PS VR1’s 100 degrees, as well as improvements to the light seal cutting out light pollution beneath our eyes, makes for even greater immersion.

Just as important as what you can see in VR is how you can interact with it. Whereas PS VR1 made do with a pair of Move controllers from a previous generation to simulate motion controls, PS VR2’s Sense controllers have been designed specifically for the hardware, which are also included with the headset, going some way to justify its price.

While PS VR2 may just seem like another high-end VR headset that currently exists in the PC VR market, there are a number of features exclusive to Sony’s headset. The Sense controllers include adaptive triggers and haptics incorporated in the DualSense controller, going further by adding haptics to the headset as well.

We left our hands-on pleased by PS VR2’s comfort and convenience, a huge improvement over its predecessor. But given the high price tag, requiring an equally pricey console (although it should be noted it’s still relatively affordable compared to other high-end VR headsets on the market), it does mean that the onus is going to be on Sony’s first party studios to deliver some real VR blockbusters that are going to make the investment not just feel worthwhile, but essential.

Why do people keep acting as if any and everybody that will want the PSVR2, doesn't already have a PS5 already?

Why do people keep acting as if any and everybody that will want the PSVR2, doesn't already have a PS5 already?

It's being compared to quest without saying quest for some reason. Like the demand for wireless is great but a comparable setup is like a $1300 vive pro 2 with a $349 wireless module. Then it's PS5+PSVR2 vs quest+free gaming pc.

To be fair, the vr market is potentially much larger than "people who own a ps5". It's part of the reason many people bought a quest 2 - the low total entry point. On the surface you could argue the "market" is hundreds of millions of people, as opposed to 30 million.
It almost makes more sense for them to do it the way they did than the way you are asking for.

The kilobytes to store threads aren't that expensive. Just click the ignore thread link and live a happy life. The marketing buzz articles from early access influencers are going to be posted and that's ok.

I mean maybe the user is just excited about it. If I like something I would share with everyone. Also op is reporting articles not throwing his bias opinion onto others

because PSVR2 deserve at least double the praise.

It's fine, and maybe excusable when you maybe don't know one exists. But when you basically started the exact same thread 8 days prior, it's not so much. There's enough threads to sift though without double posts.

Occasionally. Probably on his second job. To help with the bills.

Fuckin bills man

 

[diffusionx]

I am interested in seeing how it compares to other high-end headsets. We all know the VR1 was a compromised low-end setup. VR2 should be way better considering all the advancements, the better PS hardware, and the price leap.

Bro, it's so easy for you to not post either, or say something intelligent. People who post gifs as "witty" replies are always weak sauce.

You failed. Go read the other threads, there plenty of them.

Just sayin....

 

[Crayon]

I have a few on disk for the first one. At first I tought I wanted all digital because it would be hard to change a disc with the headset on but a week later I'm smoking bowls in the middle of a game. When you exhale, the camera picks it up and everything gets wavy.

 

[fastest finger]

PSVR2 promises to be the VR gold standard for a while. Yeah, it has a price tag, but the technology is already paying dividends.

The developer of Mirage: Kayak VR said "The Foveated Rendering allows the game to look sharper than we have ever seen it.."

And the developers of Song In The Smoke have said "It stands alone, even compared to the highest-end version possible on PC VR - it's honestly not even close."

Well, many were. I asked everyone why that would be over and over but got no answer. That's usually a sign.

 

[phaedrus]

[Crayon]

Idk about inflation=less expensive math, but it's a farr far far fucking better deal.

You are getting top of the line gear for the money, now. With VR1 you were getting a very basic system with a few notable advantages over competitors.

 

[THE DUCK]

Not accurate at all. Asking for confirmation if it will be the full game and "swearing it would not be the full game" are two very different things. And was happy at the confirmation it was full.

Play VR on my PC and have an XSX but honestly, if I had the spare $ to do it, I'd grab a PS5 just for this. Maybe next year...

I have already read those. Now I am reading this one. I will probably read another tomorrow depending on what it covers. My question for you is why are you reading them if you are not interested? What is your purpose to be in this thread? You realize every time you post in it you are bumping it back to the top? You are defeating yourself.

Was actually kinda hoping they would be merged but it never happened. I am actually interested in the content, just not the delivery.
The mods have done this many times before for many other topics, this isn't a new idea I made up.
