The way LOTS is all caps is setting me up for disappointment.

THE DUCK

voted poster of the decade by bots
I ain't seen anyone going up their own ass trying to defend it. I've seen some batshit concerns though.

Like Sony making GT7 VR at the last minute because preorders were so bad. 8)

I dont know who that was but they must be crazy. I think maybe they saw one too many pc mods done in a week. But I suspect they actually believed in what they were saying vs making up shit just to make something or someone look bad. It kind of leads me back to my point, there are lots of opinions and just because one is negative or contradictory to the group, doesn't mean they shouldn't be heard. Keeps this place from being boring.....

Yes stating it once or twice is enough. But why repeat it 4 or 5 times in the same thread?

I wasn't keeping track that person.....maybe they went overboard or got defensive. Is the embargo lifted yet? Lol

I can’t believe I’ve been swept up in the PSVR hype, less than a week to go!

Side question - the games that are getting upgrades from VR1, are any worth picking up? I’ve preordered Kayak and Demeo, might also get Townsmen (?)

First user review I’ve seen (from Reddit)

After using it for a while now I am convinced they have done something powerful to reduce motion sickness. I am not an expert in VR but I have used first generation of oculus rift when it came out and it looks like it belongs to museum compared to this.

I’ve also owned meta quest 2 for 1 month and I sold it back because I was not impressed and games at times made me nauseus even in cinema mode watching videos.

I don’t understand how or why but the graphical fidelity on menu and text alone are light years ahead in ps vr2 compared to meta quest 2. Difference is so massive they should not be compared. It’s like comparing ps4 to ps5.

Comfort is better, not a single hiccup so far in tracking or in gaming. No disconnections or crashes nor headset getting hot so far. No dead pixels in this unit and this comes from paranoid guy who aims perfection in screen.

Screen is even and there is no tint anywhere, when adjusting eye tracking it is so accurate that it feels ridiculous. You can’t fool it and it knows exactly where you are looking at.

No light is leaking anywhere and i’m not even tightening unit firmly.

Ps vr2 has 2 options to tighten up the unit. First is the headstrap and 2nd is to bring screen closer to your face which also tightens it. You can adjust how far it sits from your face.

Once adjusted the wide area is clear and not foggy at all, if you don’t adjust it well the very edge of the screen has very slight blur on the text, very slight. Once you adjust it you can’t easily track areas that has slightly blurred text.

Whole playstation interface is in ps vr2 so you don’t need to take it off for anything at all. Right now if you enter normal ps5 game the VR controllers stop working and it requires dualsense controller, then again it is not launch day and they haven’t added day 1 patch.

I will contribute the cinema mode impression mostly for everything being pitch black instead of grey so the image it self pops out like a rocket. So you focus entirely on the content/menu. They did the right thing going oled.

Jim ryan sensual experience in VR
As it has precise eye-tracking, SIE should make a game (with realistic graphics) where big-titty beautiful models appear on the screen and do all kinds of sexy stuff to get your attention. The challenge would be to keep looking at their face and not at the sexy bits.

If you do, you lose. And Jim Ryan appears on the screen laughing.

And there should be a global online leaderboard to see how far people can manage to go without looking at where they aren't supposed to.

Come on, Jimbo, do it!

I heard that it can not play vr videos from a
USB stick or HDD….. sad no porn

Does that mean the standard media player can't do 3D content just like PSVR1?

That would be so dumb....

There will obviously be 3rd party players for it but that's just ridiculous.

It has Wi-Fi 6.
USB-C = 10Gbps
Bluetooth 5 = 2Mbps

The video + input streaming direct over WiFi isn't there yet.

You need to realize this isn't some dumb thing they wanted to do, it's a dumb thing they had to do.

Quest 2 1.2 TF GPU (less than PS4)
PS5 10.3 TF GPU

Edit, what is wrong with me today, I'm certain I am in a thread, I write my comment and then suddenly realise I'm writing in the wrong thread 🤷‍♂️

Not this again. ...

This isn't the case. Wi-Fi 6's max theoretical speed is 9.6 Gbps.

The PS5 radio supports a max bandwidth of 80MHz bandwidth, 1024 QAM and 2x2 MIMO. This gives a theoretical max speed of 1.2Gbps. You'd need a 4x4 MIMO setup with a bandwidth of 320 MHz to reach 9.6 Gbps.

USB-C uses alt mode displayport, which for DP1.4 has a bandwidth of 25.92Gbps.

Preorders still available for release, wonder if that will change later on after reviews drop, given the LOTS of surprises we havent had 🤣🤣🤣

Maybe the 2 mil dream is real

Beyond the hardcore tech adopters its not a valuable proposition imo. Expensive, no BC, personally I believe the rumour posted here a week or so back that preorders havent hit what they expected, but obviously you cant say that on GAF without getting a ton of shit from the Sony defense force battalion

So is it Thursday bc no impressions yet

Btw I have a super pc with 4090 and I’m super pumped for psvr2. Why? You never sleep on console vr. If you own a ps5 you can spend 550 to get high quality vr. Price wise it’s actually really good for what you get.

I’m also into pinball and would love to see the reactions of people on NeoGAF to the price of games. We’re taking 10-15k!

God damn it, I thought I couldn't get even more hyped than I already was!
