Sad. That definitely kills any hope of PC support any time soon.
PSVR2 - The big list of every game out or confirmed as coming
- Thread starter Primal Sage
- Start date
Call of the mountain potentially aside, there is plenty of incrediable software at launch.
It can be incredibly sharp for a VR headset and still miles away from native TV display. Kind of silly of GI to expect this to be close to native fidelity
I've never gotten around to playing Horizon before, so I wasn't going to bother with CotM anyway
I don't think it's lackluster at all, unless you've already played games like REZ Infinite, Pistol Whip and Tetris Effect, and even then you''ll get superior versions on PS VR2. And then there are games like Village and GT7, which can be played in VR for the first time.

DF's review of the screen is very promising.Didn't specifically mention god rays by name but John sounded like he was suggesting they were mostly gone?
God i'd love to have one of these just to play thumper lmao

9 if you just want score.
Calls out how ridiculously better it is than psvr1. Negative is light launch line up. As we are all in this thread we know that's false :)
The common complaint I'm seeing from about 3 different people so far in my Twitter feed is that most of the launch library is old ports. Some of those are great games, of course, but still.
Thanks! That is super good, coming from a mainstream outlet!
I am very confuse as well its already setting at 79 most likely going to go over 80.

Are ports bad if most people buying the headset have not played them though? Almost all of them will be new to me.
yeah, same. got my 'large transaction detected' warning email/text from the bank, so i knew it was happening!
There are tons of causes of blurriness with VR including not wearing a headset correctly and not adjusting IPD properly. (As well as a variety of headset issues).
Hard to know if it's actually not that good or if there's an element of user error. Especially if you just assume that VR is going to be blurry or aren't aware of the IPD adjustment.
I'm not giving Verge a click for that bullshit clickbait title and thumbnail. They too often look for a cynical angle and just feels unnecessary. Watched DF and will watch eurogamer and check out those posting their own reviews here
also lol at 'isn't the second coming of christ we were hoping for'. ffs

Oh no, for people who will be buying a headset for the first time you'll be in heaven probably.
But this is an expensive, enthusiast product. I'm going to guess that the overwhelming majority of people buying this thing will be coming from an older headset and will have already played many of these games.
I was expecting 80-85 at the the top end, maybe 60 at the low. So it's scoring as well as I would have expected.
Rush of Blood averaged about 70 and that's my favourite VR game, one of my favourite games of all-time if I'm honest.
I did it, cancelled my pre-order.
Not the headset's fault, but CotM had to be something extraordinary for me to keep it. I have an Oculus and PSVR I barely play already, and for this amount of money it had to have something amazing. Alyx would have done it too. I just can't justify the expense.

I was on the Oculus reddit and there was some article about Quest 3 where normally we are dying for hardware news but all the comments some variation of ...."cool to have new hardware but where is the content?"
I think PSVR has a similar issue since many of the games seem to be ports of years old games, but maybe it will be alright since they will be new games for most.
Ive played a decent number of the more well known ones. And this is still a huge deal because I played them on original PSVR hardware. I feel people saying "old ports" or whatever are being disingenuous considering how much better they are going to look, play, control etc. on the new hardware. And its not even a "oh hey better frame rate, shorter loading" type of upgrade, because the better controls alone will vastly improve a number of these games.
Then again I really dont get the "small launch list" comments either, there's loads... and even heavy hitters. You'd think we were looking at the Wii U launch lineup or something./..
Really wonder what the deal is at Game Informer. Maybe they had the headset on incorrectly like Nathie in his video that was taken down?
That GI blurriness quote is weird, because it says it affects all VR headsets. The big question is how it compares to other headsets, and it appears from DF that it compares very favourably.
I would rely too much on reviews from mainstream media honestly. They never seem to grasp what VR games are good with and just want flat experiences in VR.
I trust Ian from Eurogamer and VR content creators for VR content.
But hey, the reviews aren't even bad lol.

The review itself is actually generally positive and they don't really spend that much time talking about the cable.
Any word on how the PS5's built-in recording handles VR2? i.e. does it record a fisheye view or a normal view?
I'm kinda unsure on CotM, i'm glad it's not mostly robot fighting, but i was hoping for more exploration of wider areas, not loads of climbing. Still, Higton who like me isn't keen on the Horizon games either, still say's it's a must play and one he's enjoying.
Sounds like Rez is going to be good, pays off waiting this long to play it I guess. Might have to do the $10 upgrade for Tetris too
Still no news of whether this is launching with any kind of media apps? YouTube VR in Meta Quest works surprisingly well, for instance.
Sadly GT7 and RE8 were not available to review as the VR patches haven't gone live yet.
