Again, there is NO VR only version...
You'll be able to play it.
Cool, Amalur has been a game I've wanted to check out for ages and just never got around to/wasn't sure enough I'd enjoy it to spend money on it.
I feel like this is exactly what they are doing. Building a free library of PSVR games for Plus owners for the inevitable new hardware. Bonus if they all run better on PS5 and VR2.
Nice to hear. That's what you've been told, or heard, I presume, since I can't find anything official on it. Makes sense to build up a library of VR titles before 2.0 launches.
Because of the new controls and controller, the new ways of tracking that probably don't even need a camera, no wonder the PSVR on PS5 needs a special adapater for to work on PS5. I think the past games will need a lot of tweaking to work on PSVR2 and will mostly have their own native evrsions on PS5, that is if devs want to have the courtesy to care ofr the fans of those games.
That would be great if this would happen, but knowing it's a PS Plsu version, I don't think this would allow a free upgrade for Enhanced version on PS5 like what they did for Greedfall and FF7R. Otherwise they would have mentioend this would be free PS5 version too for the game. But hey, let's hope this gets past that system and this happeend automaticlaly without oOny needing to lick the games. ^^.
So, what I took from the State of Play is that First Class Trouble is like a 3D Among Us. That could be cool. A good game to place on PS+ because I otherwise probably would not buy it.
Well well well :)
Looking forward to PS5 SW Squadrons melting my face off.
I'll redeem Amalur and the VR titles. Amalur is as baisc as it can get, but I could give it another try on PS5. I like the idea of building a small VR library in case I ever get a PSVR.
Not even gonna redeem the other two games, though.

Interesting, I was under the impression it had a completely different SKU released?
Looking on my PS5 there is an enhanced Eddition which lists no VR and a normal version which does. They really need to label these clearer in what is what, and what you get.
The enhanced edition is free for owners of the standard version, at least it was, so you should be getting both of them
Is this confirmed anywhere? Seems like this subject is always carefully skirted by Sony.
Threadworthy if so (including if you're the one confirming it and it's mod-verified)
I might revisit the VR games when PSVR2 comes out assuming it's backwards compatible, but for now this month does nothing for me.
Yup, that's the one. Is First Class Trouble anything like this?Sounds like Velvet Sundown. Never played it, but I still remember Giant Bomb's GOTY talks and the Quick Look they recorded.

Curious to see if we can upgrade Persistance to the PS5 enhance edition. Even if it isn't possible, the game will still be playable without an headset since it got a free update for it.
For real? I figured the differences in tracking techniques and controller layouts would present issues that would have to be addressed on a case-by-case basis.
I mean, you're going from these
to these
subtracting 2-3 face buttons from each controller, depending on if you count the sticks.
Some VR games can run higher internal resolution and/or slightly improved draw distance, but I only know of Firewall Zero Hour and Blood & Truth (that one also goes from 60fps reprojected on 120fps, to native 90fps) doing this.

Well, this is certainly interesting.
Makes a PSVR purchase a day -0, lol.
Maybe its like the PS5 and you can only play PSVR1 games with a DS4 or Move controllers?For real? I figured the differences in tracking techniques and controller layouts would present issues that would have to be addressed on a case-by-case basis.

You can play PS4 games with a DualSense on PS5, you just can't play PS5 games with a DualShock 4 (for no good reason tbh).
But even if they were to require the older controllers, doesn't the headset itself no longer use a camera? Would they somehow split the headset and controller tracking techniques?
This is actually incorrect- the PS5 version doesn't support VR because PS5, but the version we're getting (PS4) has support for both modes of play. As far as I know there is not a separate PS4 non-VR version.
Add Dreams and No Man's Sky to the list. Especially Dreams. Some creators are making games that are basically PS5 games.
Ah yes good point, that's why I installed Dreams on my ps5 in the first place lol, derp.
Regarding different tracking techniques being an obstacle for BC, note that the Quest and Quest 2 both use inside out tracking like the PSVR2 is expected to and games made for PCVR with external sensors doing the tracking work perfectly fine when connecting to a PC.
So it's very feasible that the tracking difference won't be an issue. The big unknown is the move controllers vs the orbs.

That was my thinking behind why PS5 would definitely play PS4 title and that was under the impression that it wouldn't be difficult. PSVR 2.0 uses a completely different tracking on the headset and controllers though, and the PSVR 1.0 audience is way smaller for it to be as big a priority.
I'd love it if this was the case though.
Regardless. I don't think they will offer a free upgrade to get the Enhanced version on PS5 (that I care the most about) since it's the PS Plus version so they will lock it. I would be really surprised if they overlook this and allow it but I don't have high hopes for it.
I guess we'll see! For what it's worth I hope you get it!
The ps5 version was free to those who owned the ps4 version, so hopefully that files over to the plus version as well. the ps5 version is definitely worth a download.
The simple solution would be to allow you to map buttons to the direction of the sticks, not the best solution but it would work. The different tracking techniques shouldn't matter though, SteamVR manages to translate a bunch of different headsets/controllers all with their own tracking methods so I don't see why Sony can't do something similar.For real?

It's dead, commercially speaking. There's a demo updated with level rotation and some of the best user-created pieces available for free; it could as well don't exist. Even for sale at 10$ is unable to get into the charts.
PS Plus would just put some eyes on it for a month before being forgotten again. Most people don't care about that sort of proposal anymore.
