 Playstation VR2 is the PS5-based successor to the PS4-based Playstation VR, the virtual reality peripheral that worked far better than we had any right to expect. This time, in additional to having vastly more computing horsepower behind it, the headset will be using all-new technology developed specifically for VR, rather than a grab bag of kitbashed legacy Sony gimmicks. How much and when The Playstation VR 2 will launch on February 22, 2023. It will cost $549/€599.99 for the base kit, and $599/€649.99 for a bundle with Horizon: Call of the Mountain. That's a lot. What are the new cool things
 The controllers are also all-new, and ditch the old Dual Shock 4 and positively ancient PS Moves for a modernized controller designed with VR in mind. What does that mean exactly
OK where are the games PSVR 2 is not backwards compatible with PSVR 1 games, but you won’t care because you’ll be playing games like:

I’m preordering day 1. The only reason I didn’t play with my original PSVR as much as I wanted was just how much of a pain it was to hook up. Looking forward to the single wire setup.

I hope USB C is strong enough to take a potential jolt or at the very least the cable can be replaced if something happens to it.

I'm too suspicious to preorder but extremely looking forward to this as an upgrade from my OG Quest hopefully just in time to avoid the log in requirement becoming mandatory. Horizon thing looks awesome, can't wait to play Ragnarock in HD even if I'm too busy hitting drums to look at the scenery anyway.

There are ways to do comfortable VR in zero G, Lone Echo on PC did it pretty well from what I've read. There was a PSVR 1 game called Starblood Arena that was sort of like Descent and I don't remember reading major complaints about it. At worst, they could put on a vignette any time you're not fully braked. haveblue fucked around with this message at 17:12 on Sep 26, 2022 |

You grab and push off things it's very comfortable Tbh I think a lot of VR barfiness equates to inputs not lining up to feel like the speed naturally matches the controls.

More games I didn't have in the OP list, from here: Low-Fi (a cyberpunk game that's been in development for so long it originally targeted PSVR 1) Pavlov: Shack (a port of the Quest version, which is somewhat cut down from the PC original) Alvo (a PSVR2-native update of a tactical shooter originally for PSVR 1) Ghostbusters VR (also a Quest port) Ghosts of Tabor (also a tactical shooter) Resident Evil 4 Remake (no explanation needed) Among Us VR (sus)

Just to keep the rumor mill going, there was yet another mention of Half-Life: Alyx coming to PSVR 2. Again, just a rumor with "our source says" etc., but figured I'd mention it anyway.

I still gotta wonder if Beat Saber is coming over at all. For the extra revenue maybe, but Meta's main goal is to get people on Quest and using Beat Saber as a wedge would help with that. HL: Alyx is more likely as it's not like Valve are gonna be bringing in more Index users at this point.

Alyx will probably come down to whether or not Sony wants to push for it or not.

I'd imagine there would be those in Valve who would like the game they made to be accessible to a broader amount of people. I don't think the decision rests with Sony, of course they want a big AAA game to leech licensing fees off of.

I just don't think valve gives a poo poo either way about consoles at this point, so I would imagine they would be open to releasing Alyx on PSVR2 if Sony pushed for it, but at the same time I'd be surprised if they took it upon themselves just to sell more copies, since they really don't need to at all. At one point I thought it was a sure thing, but if that was the case I think Sony would have announced it by now and they haven't. If Alyx coming to PSVR2 was a shoe in, we would have already heard about it.

I guess that it doesn't pose an interesting challenge is a problem in an environment like in Valve. Still, all it would take is some bored programmer to get a basic port going, even if the reasoning only stems from a desire for more people to play the game they helped create, then getting a few rolly desks pushed together to help polish it off enough to be certified and publishable. No one needs to get approvals or sign offs to start projects over there. The issue may not be lack of interest so much as manpower. They are throwing a lot of resources at Steam Deck lately.

Arguement's sake, etc, but if their standalone Deckard headset remotely exists in their hardware development timeline they might hypothetically consider porting Alyx as an optimization exercise in VR software.

For Deckard to succeed it'll need to be able to play existing PCVR games without each game needing to be hand optimised. Alyx already scales extremely well anyway, Deck already hits all it's requirements aside from GPU performance.

Facebook bought the studios that made RE4 VR and Iron Man VR, and doesn't seem interested in competing with Sony at the high end of the market. https://twitter.com/stephentotilo/status/1579913722667335682?t=Mj89YF4UrJ17FEKxqFAC2A&s=19

Looking forward to the single wire setup. Yeah... I keep thinking of why I don't like playing my PSVR and it's definitely the pain of having to hook up cables every single time. I want to get PSVR2 at some point. I have money to spend, and I don't see the point in waiting like 2-3 years to save $100, maybe. Might as well get it at launch

Day one if I can manage it. For me it’s also a fun bonus that it can do a 1080p/120/HDR theater mode for non-VR games. Haven’t been able to spring for that level of TV upgrade yet.

Price doesn't bother me but the launch lineup does. I got an email link to preorder, but might pass since there is just nothing here that interests me yet. Pretty surprised there is no Gran Turismo 7 announced yet, and it honestly makes me apprehensive that it might not be possible for whatever reason. Not expecting to see a Skyrim update either lol.
