I played a few times with my glasses. The most important thing in my opinion is they do not move it too close. There really isn't a reason to move it right up on your face. Have them tighten it up in the back, and keep the unit away from their face. If they aren't playing an active game, even better. Not something like Synth Riders.
Yeah, the mura is quite frankly the weakest point of the PSVR2 (at first I though I was seeing the screendoor effect). It is easily noticeable, specially in gray scenes I think. Wish it wasn't there. There is an accessibility option someone pointed that changes the colors a bit and it pratically erases the mura. I tried and was impressed, but still decided to turn it off because I prefer the original colors. Also, I'm used to it know and forget about it most of the time. When I see it, I don't care too much anymore.
Motion sickness in VR is a serious problem, I thought it was great that he tried to find the cause of it when it happens even for someone with VR legs, haven’t seen anyone else dig into that. And no offense but those who has just bought a headset are still in the honeymoon phase and I definitely don’t trust those more than this VR veteran. I just wish he would talk about using glasses too, besides that it was a good video imo.
The longer image persistence, or lacking motion clarity to easier describe it, was what he found was the trigger for him, so it was logical he stayed on that since the motion sickness was the biggest reason he came to the conclusion the headset wasn’t for him. I learned a lot tbh. And he still talked in detail about other things and in general liked it.
I tried the demo and didn't care for it much. Crafting was weird and too many menus and just didn't interest me. I see some people enjoy it though, so I wouldn't read too much in to my impressions, but give the demo a shot first.
It's really good. I played for only an hour but the gameplay is awesome and visually looks super crisp.
Vr2 is my first vr, tested vr1 years ago but only briefly.
I do notice it but it doesn't bother me as much as it does for you or some people. I think it's harder to see it in the cartoonish looking games.
I only ever notice it on the gray, but not totally dark scenes and it is definitely not as bad as you make it sound. RE8 is 100% fine even with it. Kayak was worse IMO, but I didn't care that much for Kayak and it wasn't in most of the other levels I played in Kayak, mainly the night jungle one. RE8 it's like barely bothersome for 1% of the game to me.
Can’t see how motion controls could be good tbh but I haven’t tried it. I initially tried using a controller in Assetto Corsa though and thought that was a major letdown, was essentially just headtracking.
Yep motion controls on GT7 are great. Have used them since 1 month post launch. Find it much better than stick and I'm faster with motion control than wheel too (helped me up to mid DR A). It's very suited to VR as well. It's actually the dualsense setting that is recommended in the in game manual/guide (vs stick).
With VR that argument is much weaker. Not only are VR headsets far more rare than TVs and monitors, the PC required to run VR games well is far more expensive than what you need for flat. In flat games you can play on integrated graphics at 720p 30fps; it sucks a bit, but you can still have fun. In VR 60fps is the minimum and the resolution needs to be at least 1440p, 4x 720p, and even that will only be passable. Besides, if your games drops bellow 30 in flat you survive, so you can aim for 80 or 90% GPU utilization, while in VR you need much more headroom for a stable performance.
A bit leftfield, I played Assetto Corsa in VR and instinctively looked back behind the seats when driving in the reverse lol, immersion overload

Yeah it’s expensive, sucks that I can’t use the same wheel as on PC and Xbox, these walled gardens are driving me crazy.
But using a wheel is a huge upgrade, especially in sim VR when your hands are synched with the driver hands, can’t go back, the cockpit view is actually usable.
If it’s also a space issue you should try using a foldable wheel stand, I have an old Wheel Stand Pro, there are probably better ones out now. Easy to tuck away when not using it, I just leave the wheel on and fold it up, and it feels sturdy enough when properly set up.
My first headset had significantly worse mura than my second. Traded it out after noticing the pattern was far more prominent and distorted in the left lens and figured that wasn't normal.
Yeah analog stick controls are kinda crap for simulation, get stressed out and mash the stick to the edge and you’ll be in some ping ping drifting scenario. Not a fan of digital controls though, that’s like going 20 years back in time.
RE8 looks excellent for the most part. Some aliasing, and the subpixel structure of the OLED means every game will look a bit softer than you'd hope, but the detail of the world and excellent use of light makes for a great experience. I got used to the reprojection pretty quickly. Not as distracting as CotM or GT7 imo.
If you make the lenses closer the world will look a bit larger, and if you separate them more it will look smaller.
Dam not sure what you expected since every vr version of flat games is always a downgrade since you need to run it at higher frame rates. I think it looks awesome taking this in consideration. Perhaps you can freeze yourself and wake up in 2050, when vr will be similar to ready player one?
Yes.
Have you tried the C-Smash demo? Simple and straight forward, tons of fun! Showed it to a friend yesterday with barely any contact with videogames and he was smilling and laughing all the time, it was pretty cool to see. Will show the game (demo) to other friends soon, they never had contact with VR, I think.
Hmmm I wonder if I got a bad unit.. I can definitely relate to what you're describing - very prominent mura overall and the blacks being far from black. It's annoying but not a deal-breaker for me and when I get immersed in the games I pretty much forget about it from time to time.
Yeah yesterday. It's fine. I like the concept and look, sound. A bit expensive for me. Will finish the games i own now. Then will want to buy moss 1&2. I tried all the demos available. I don't own any of them. Also tried the song in the smoke is it? The survival one and is ok. Didn't know what to do.
After a week with my new PSVR 2 I have another question for you veterans. Will my VR legs get better?
I thought at first that only the climbing in Horizon would fool my body but something as simple as opening lower drawers in RE 8 sometimes makes me wobble forwards.
To counter this I slightly bend my knees to "ground" myself but after about an hour I quit because my legs are tense most of the time.
In 6 months I'm gonna have thighs like a brazilian soccer player
Now GT7 I can play longer because my butt is sitting on the sofa.
But Horizon & RE8 are more enjoyable standing up; better control of the bow and in RE8 access to your coat and gun.
Thank you!
