Over the one year mark with my Quest 2 and it still gets played all the time by me and my kids. For any kind of sim stuff it is honestly hard to go back.
A 120Hz refresh rate is fine, don't think that is anyway a limiting factor.
The limiting factor is the resolution, and hardware to push those higher resolutions. With the screen so close to the eye, a 4K or higher resolution per eye is needed. PSVR2 and Quest 3 is still a blurry mess in comparison to a non VR output.
With eye tracking and foveated rendering I think hardware to push higher res has become less important. We are getting pretty crisp images right now.
Wait until you get to PSVR2
True but seeing how PSVR games require a different kind of tracking and even control system to work, I can kinda understand why it isn't backwards compatible. It sucks but it's the ancient PSVR hardware preventing this from happening with the PSVR2.
2 weeks is insane. No way I believe that.
I own a PSVR2, Meta Quest 2 hooked up to a high-end PC with a 4090, and an original PSVR1 and I play VR games daily and can't get enough of them.
I disagree. Even with foverated rendering, the image quality is not crisp at all. It's definitely a few steps above better than PSVR1. The last VR game I played was GT7, and there is a clear degrade in sharpness to the point where gauges are hard to read.
The biggest thing that (good) vr games do that make me bored of regular gaming is just the general interactivity. These games and their worlds truly feel like I can actually interact with them
It would be nice to have a PSVR2 port of it, but due to the acquisition it seems preferable not to have it anywhere on consoles than giving PSVR2 a shot at showing how eye tracked foveated rendering based Skyrim would look like :/…
It's a good thing I own several VR headsets because Metas account shit literally made one of them a brick. Gear VR no longer works because they added an account signup that broke legacy devices.
I still hope that Sony might open PSVR2 up for PC usage as well. It's a really solidly made HMD. I don't think everyone trying to build their own walled garden (Sony, Meta) is helping VR as a whole right now. It's too fucking niche for that. But I know that's an unpopular opinion around these parts.
I've had VR for a decade now going right back to the Kickstarter dev kit. I'm on like my 5th or 6th headset. But we all know most people just play it for a bit then it sits there
Money trumps technological marvel. VR games definitely surpass non-vr games but unfortunately the install base isn't large enough for people to shift development to it. Same reason they keep trying to chase mobile games instead. The more people who get into VR the more investment there will be.
It's kinda both. It's not really any more blurry than a regular 4k game if you stood close enough to your TV that it was your entire view, but then 4k also looks blurry if you are that close. So there is the same amount of detail but it doesn't have that pin sharp look that it does on a TV.
Is this exclusive to the Quest 3? I need to sign in to my Meta account with the Quest 1.
Blurry mess maybe an exaggeration. I have a 4090 btw. But it isn't clear as 2D output. Not even close.
I'm not arguing against the experience it delivers. Holy crap....I'll stand by this, the resolution just isn't there. Yet.
