Exclusive: F1 22 developer has no plans to add VR support for PSVR 2

VR support is staying exclusive to PC players for now

www.techradar.com

They seems to say they don’t want to compromise the VR experience, hence they are skipping VR on PSVR2

In an exclusive interview with TechRadar, the game’s Senior Creative Director, Lee Mather, revealed that Codemasters has “no plans at this time” to add VR support for either Playstation VRor the in-development PSVR 2.

“We’ve been investigating VR for some time and we want to bring it to our F1 game without compromise,” Mather said. “We have partnered with a team who has worked on other Codemasters’ titles and it has taken several years to get us to this point where we know we can deliver a premium experience for our players.”

That makes zero sense, PSVR2 is going to be a better headset than what's out there now.

You think the PSVR2 is gonna be better than the Oculus Quest 2?

 

[kraspkibble]

You think the PSVR2 is gonna be better than the Oculus Quest 2?

or the Valve Index!

 

[Unknown?]

You think the PSVR2 is gonna be better than the Oculus Quest 2?

You mean Quest 3, it already has better specs than the Quest 2. Probably not better than Q3 but by their logic they'd have to compromise and block all older headsets.

 

[Shmunter]

“At this time”

Psvr1 too much effort obviously to downport the visuals for a soon to be redundant platform and psvr2 is still to be released.

 

[hlm666]

F1 2023 will probably be not far off when the psvr2 ships so why would they want top give you a free upgrade around that time when they could use vr as a carrot to make you buy 2023. Occams razor and all that.

 

[Captain Toad]

I read that whole thread title and still thought it said FF 12. I was really confused why that was happening.

Viera in VR, that's why.

Yeah, was gonna edit that in, but got lazy. Haha

Didn't know it had better specs than Q2. I'm not really into VR, but good information to know.

We’ve been investigating VR for some time and we want to bring it to our F1 game without compromise,” Mather said. “We have partnered with a team who has worked on other Codemasters’ titles and it has taken several years to get us to this point where we know we can deliver a premium experience for our players.”

F1 22 is scheduled for release on July 1 across PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC. At the game’s official unveiling in April, Codemasters announced that only PC players would be able to race in VR at launch, but it wasn’t clear whether the developer intended to offer PlayStation VR users the same functionality later down the line.

Now, though, we know that console players may have to wait until F1 2023 for the pleasure.

The current list of VR headsets compatible with F1 2022 on PC are as follows:

• Value Index
• Oculus Quest 2 (with Link Cable)
• Oculus Rift S
• HTC Vive
• HTC Vive Cosmos

The reasonable reply

No need to sensationalize

 

[Killer8]

Makes sense, we don't even have a release date for PSVR2.

Anyway this game is going to own in VR. The next Dirt Rally.

Lol quest 2

What's wrong with PSVR2? This statement makes no sense.

 

[Mowcno]

Obviously they're not going to support PSVR2. It doesn't even have a release date and F1 22 comes out in less than 2 months. If they want to support PSVR2 with the series they'll wait till F1 23. It has nothing to do with "They seems to say they don’t want to compromise the VR experience, hence they are skipping VR on PSVR2" that comes into paly with the original PSVR.

The original PSVR they won't support because the PS4 just isn't powerful enough. GT Sport couldn't even support it well being limited to 1v1 races.

 

[Klik]

Maybe (going by rumours) PSVR2 has been delayed till 2023 so that's why they won't support it for F1 2022.

I'm sure when F1 2023 comes out they will support it.

Also, on PC there is Assetto Corsa F1 2022 mod. Its amazing and physics/handling is much more realistic compared to EA F1 series..

 

[ClosBSAS]

That makes zero sense, PSVR2 is going to be a better headset than what's out there now.

Lol what? Based on what? What Sony or says? It'll come don't worry but next game

 

[phil_t98]

is this game next gen only? if so then it can't support PSVR2 as it aint launched yet

 

[ArtHands]

What's wrong with PSVR2? This statement makes no sense.

Good question. That's the only explanation I can infer from this statement:

“We’ve been investigating VR for some time and we want to bring it to our F1 game without compromise,” Mather said.

 

[SLB1904]

Good question. That's the only explanation I can infer from this statement:

If the psvr2 specs are true there isn't a single vr headset better than it on the market right now, still doesn't make sense.

 

[ArtHands]

If the psvr2 specs are true there isn't a single vr headset better than it on the market right now, still doesn't make sense.

Well, that’s the only thing we can get out from their statement.

 

[SLB1904]

Well, that’s the only thing we can get out from their statement.

tbf i think only recently devs start to get the vr2 dev kits, that statement is true for psvr1 that's for sure

 

[schaft0620]

You think the PSVR2 is gonna be better than the Oculus Quest 2?

The hardware for both is already public, PS VR2 is better.

 

[GreatnessRD]

The hardware for both is already public, PS VR2 is better.

As I said above I don't keep up with VR since it really isn't my thing. Just was going off the limited knowledge I had seeing the Q2 and Valve Index was up there far as VR systems went.

 

[SLB1904]

or the Valve Index!

Yes

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Dude is obviously only talking about PSVR1. PSVR2 is not out yet and might take another half a year to come out.

 

[ArtHands]

tbf i think only recently devs start to get the vr2 dev kits, that statement is true for psvr1 that's for sure

Well, their statement is pretty definite instead of a vague "We can't confirm anything yet".

 

[ArtHands]

Seriously, what's with people deliberately twisting the quote?

[SLB1904]

Does it matter? Vr2 will probably come out next year so it's irrelevant at this point anyway

 

[ArtHands]

Well it matter because the statement suggest there's no plan at all. Regardless if it is released.

 

[SLB1904]

Yeah I assume so. But isn't because they don't want to compromise. You'll be able to play this on the lowest pc vr. Is not they making exclusive to index or something

 

[Mowcno]

Seriously, what's with people deliberately twisting the quote?

"no plans at this time to add VR support for either Playstation VR or the in-development PSVR 2."
"We’ve been investigating VR for some time and we want to bring it to our F1 game without compromise,”

These two statements do not combine to equal "We're not bringing it to PSVR2 because we don't want the experience to be compromised."

They are two separate quotes you are combining into one. The game was never going to support PSVR2 because it releases months before PSVR2 and it is an annual series. Why would they waste time patching PSVR2 support into F1 22 in December 2022 or whenever the headset comes out when they can just focus on F1 23 that is right around the corner. As soon as F1 22 is released they will be fully focused on F1 23, not going back allocating development resources to a game that will be made completely irrelevant by it's imminent successor.

 

[Unknown?]

Lol what? Based on what? What Sony or says? It'll come don't worry but next game

Based on the official specs of the headset. Are you living under a rock? It's already been shown off.

People had hands on already as well.

 

[Romulus]

I don't see what the problem is. The F1 launch doesn't remotely align psvr2's release. Psvr1 is out of the question. Its more of a timing thing, that studio will be knee deep in development with their next game by the time psvr2 rolls around, even if thats later this year.

 

[BennyBlanco]

psvr is a dead platform and psvr2 has yet to be released. timing doesnt line up.

Just wait. Some dude will find a way to spin this into: "PSVR2 will be DOA as it won't get support from the devs".

 

[Droxcy]

Cannot wait to dive into some F1 in VR. Asseto Corsea is great in VR also hopefully the addition into F1 is fluid.

 

[Daytonabot]

If the psvr2 specs are true there isn't a single vr headset better than it on the market right now, still doesn't make sense.

Too bad it attaches to a PS5 that will continue to fall further and further behind between now and the headset's launch. A 2060ish GPU will be at least four generations old by then to say nothing of being the budget model.

stop talking nonsense, always with stupid hyperbole.

 

[Daytonabot]

There's literally no hyperbole there. The PS5 has roughly a 2060 in it. Since then, there have been Supers and 30X0s. The 40X0s will arrive later this year, and one more generation will come next fall. That's four generations, assuming the PSVR2 makes it by holiday 2023.

"There is literally no hyperbole..." proceeds with another one

Dude I got no time for your trolling. Psvr2 isn't releasing next holiday when people already had hands on. Secondly rtx 2060 is 6gb. 3rd developers aren't dropping the the computers with with midrange hardware to work exclusively on the rtx40xx or whatever so stop dreaming. 4th psvr2 has eye tracking and foved rendering which maximise the potential of the gpu.

 

[Spukc]

Fuck by eurovision logic spain lost

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Formula 1 in VR is finally here! Check out this brand new, intense PC VR gameplay footage, of Codemasters F1 22. In this quickfire five-lap Formula One race, you'll see Charles Leclerc in his Ferrari, battling it out in wet conditions, as he tries to secure pole position during the Canadian Grand Prix. This was recorded using an Oculus Meta Quest 2.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Considering Sony fucked PC gamers out of Resident Evil 7 and Ace Combat VR, I’m totally fine with this.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Probably gonna happen for F1 23. Remember guys that PC VR sets have minimum reqs as well. Not everyone plays in VR on the newest 3000-4000$ rigs.

 

[Wonko_C]

Capcom and Namco are more likely the culprits here. They did nothing after their exclusivity period expired.

IOI did release Hitman 3VR on PC a year after PSVR. (Though the less said about that half-assed mode, the better)

I put the blame on Sony for asking for exclusivity in the first place.

By the time the year ended it probably wasn’t worth them going back and spending resources updating games that were now much cheaper.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

My index is sitting in the box as I've procrastinated since moving into the new house. I have the 28" G7 and 65" OLED set up as a second monitor. Too lazy lol

I do have the Thrustmaster T300RS set up on the PC though.

My point is that I'm ready for this!
