Looked like gameplay to me, cant wait
It wasn't gameplay :-(
Even Spider man 2 that was supposed to be jaw dropping was visually meh. One of the worst shows I ever seen from Sony..
Absolutely agreed. I'm baffled by how bad this show was, basically all 3rd party and tons of CGI trailers. Of course there were so cool stuff, but nothing mindblowing.
So disappointing man. The least they could have shown was Astro 2, the least...Absolutely agreed. I'm baffled by how bad this show was, basically all 3rd party and tons of CGI trailers. Of course there were so cool stuff, but nothing mindblowing.
Not even a teaser for Astro or a simple port of Rescue Mission, Wipeout and many other cool games Sony could just port to PSVR2

First PS VR2 footage for Resident Evil 4 VR Mode revealed
Experience the ultimate immersion with the free DLC for the PS5 version of Resident Evil 4, with PlayStation VR2
Done! If any of you smart PSVR2 owners wants to add me, send me a message here on NeoGAFBeat Saber is really difficult! I think it’s because my muscle memory is set to Synth Riders, so I’m struggling here. I need to retrain my brain haha. It’s fun when it flows and you get into a groove. I also like that there’s a campaign included too.
No doubt this will be my new obsession for the next few weeks.
If you have the game (or even if you don’t, but have PSVR2), invite me as a friend and we can try and beat each others high scores.

I need some more PSVR2 friends.
Recommend them? I can’t wear my contacts for long in VR and worried my glasses will scratch the lenses.I received my PSVR2 lenses from VROptician and I'm extremely satisfied!
While wearing glasses did not really bother me it's definitely less cumbersome.
The lenses are super easy to clip on and they come in a neat case with a cleaning cloth.
Thank you to MR ARCADE FOREVER who gave me the idea when he got his
Yes go for it you won't regret it!

I think they chose to show Crossfire Sierra Squad only because it is coming out sooner (summer of 2023), so they will show Firewall Ultra later, since it might come before Christmas. Or, perhaps, Firewall will be delayed to next year.
They can't just port it, it had levels that required the ds4 light and you can't emulate that with the VR sense.All they had to do was port AstroBot
Re4 has potential to be p2 (Im gran turismo fan so hard to dethrone this title for me :d) Moss 1 is 8/10 for me, horizon 7.5, star wars waiting for discount, s&s for some reason didnt hook me enough to want to play it more, not interested in mini golf but read so many good reviews that maybe will try it later
Yeah, it’s difficult. I’m just about getting a handle on Normal mode and even that can send me into Saber flailing flap. It’s a fun game though.It's official: I suck at Beat Saber
Gotta put training wheels on Easy mode and learn from my failures.
How was playing re7&8 blind in vr for the first time? I played both last year and liked both of them alot.
Was not expecting that lol all i knew about RE8 before playing was there was some massive big tittie vampire chick and she is indeed fucking huge in VR, her and her daughters looked incredible in VR, really lifelike, the best was the old witch at the start, she looked insanely realistic and her eyes followed you as you looked around her, unfortunately the other girls you dont get a chance to ahem study them in detail as you are either shit scared or running lol as for the Baby level, it was the noises in that level, everything is dark and i can hear what sounds like a baby and im already on edge when it appeared i near had a heart attack, that level was stressful as all hell
I've heard so much about this I'm already shitting my pants going forward
Harder than Synth Riders?It's official: I suck at Beat Saber

I'd pay full price for Alien Isolation in VR.
I finally caved to boredom last night and picked up a PSVR2, here are my initial impressions after only an hour or so of use. For reference I normally game on a 65" LG OLED and I previously owned the PSVR, Quest, Quest 2.
Build Quality and Setup
The PSVR itself is great quality and feels very much the first PSVR, all of the materials feel great and the controllers again are really nice. Coming recently from the Quest 2 I found PSVR2 to feel a bit heavy on my head. To keep the headset in that sweet spot for clarity I had to have the band nice and snug so that it didn't move, which did put a bit of pressure on my head after a while. Setup was nice and straightforward however the first attempt failed as the controllers had very little charge out of the box and couldn't get through the setup process, so I abandoned and charged them for a bit. Weirdly you only get one charging cable so I had to plug my second controller into my Series X with another USB-C cable I had. Some sort of split charging cable would have been nice but then you wouldn't have bought the official charging base right?
Image Quality
Once the headset was on and I was at the PS5 dashboard I must admit my first impressions of the image quality weren't great. The first thing I noticed was that the clarity wasn't great, or rather, less clear than I was expecting for these high resolution panels. I guess you could call it screen door effect or speckly? Not bad as such but worse than I was expecting. Also the sweet spot for image sharpness seems to be very small and the slightest headset movements resulted in blurry text. I don't remember the Quest 2 being affected as much in this aspect. I do however appreciate the controls for adjusting according to your eyes, that seemed really good and I will see if I can fine tune them further.
Audio
I love the included earphones design, very nice and neat. Sound quality however didn't impress me and it sounded a bit, flat? Saying that I am used to gaming on a Dolby Atmos system but the 3D audio didn't do a lot for me. Will have to investigate further. Also the rubber tipped earphones never fit my right ear and always just fall out! Not the PSVR's fault I am deformed I guess!
Games
The first game I played was GT7 and yep, it was as awesome as people were saying. Being IN the cockpit in such a convincing way transforms the game and I was able to judge my corners/speed far better. It felt crazy to glance at the the wing mirrors and rear view mirror quickly just like in a real car. Also glancing to your side as you pass cars. Genuinely great and a perfect example of VR done very right. Next I fired up Tetris Effect Connected and couldn't work out how to play in VR, then I realised I had the PS4 version, doh! That was basically it for the evening and today I will try RE8 and more GT7. At this point I'd also like to say that I wish Xbox did VR just so that I could play FH5 in the same way as GT7, it would be incredible.
Verdict
I initially held off buying PSVR2 because I feel I am over VR in general in its current form. I have no intention of supporting Meta any further with the Quest 3 and I feel that I have experienced all that VR currently has to offer. The PSVR2 is a nice piece of kit but unfortunately I don't think it's going to change my mind. I don't miss coming away from a gaming session with flat hair, feeling sweaty and queasy. I also think it's overpriced but so applaud Sony for continuing to bring VR to the masses (well the ones who can afford to sped so much on an accessory). For me though I'll spend a bit of time with the experiences it has to offer and then send it back within the returns window...or will it change my mind in the next few days.

I haven't tried Synth Riders sorry!
