Come back home to the GT7 Discord Inef! We're still going strong - routinely get 12 or so drivers every week! Legendary Tales continues to sink its teeth into me. Having a full length built from the ground up VR game is awesome.

The funny thing is that I think up until now the output PSVR2 hasn’t been THAT bad. Really solid launch with some great titles and a fair amount of decent stuff trickling in over time, capped off by RE4 just recently. Which to me is basically the greatest thing I’ve played in VR, including Alyx. But the future does not look bright. I’d be willing to bet RE4 was a done deal way before the release of PSVR 2. Almost No psvr1 first party titles have received psvr2 versions, titles that actually have released seem to have zero quality control, nothing exciting on the horizon. Even third party titles seem to be rolling in at a glacial pace. Then to top it all off it just seems like Sony isn’t even promoting it anymore. Definitely feels like the Vita all over again.

The only thing I’d possibly want for the VR2 now is a decent flight sim. Don’t need another racer, I have GT7. Don’t need another FPS, I have RE4. Don’t need another chillout vibes game, I have NMS. Other genres I prefer to be flat. With a traditional console I would want a steady stream of games because I do play a lot and I’d get sick of the same stuff. But with VR I just don’t want to spend that much time in. It’s an awesome experience, but I have to both in the mood and free to be isolated that long. So like, even if Metro is great… I play seldom enough that I dunno if I’d buy it. Unless it’s better than RE4 (it won’t be), enough time will have passed since my last RE4 run that I’d rather just play that. Anyway, all that is to say that yeah, VR2 was abandoned fast and has no future… but if I knew that when I bought it, I’d still make the same choice. It has the titles that fill my entertainment desires.

That game looks kind of repetitive? Like in every video it's just the same two enemies and a bunch of identical looking environments. Is there actually a variety of content in terms of locations and enemy types?

Forget a “decent flight sim,” give me ridiculous flight sims. Let me pilot a giant battle bot with laser swords and eye tracking target designation. Port the original x-wing and tie fighter. Resurrect Wing Commander. Give me Robotech.

This isn't a flat screen game where you just hit a button and mow through enemies. The game might be too hard if the variety of enemies is too great if you don't already have weapons training. I have like 20ish hours in the game split between daggers and spears, and I tell you what, I struggle bussed learning how to parry with a two handed sword without looking like I'm flailing around like an idiot. There's also challenge mode where enemies swing their weapons faster and some are left handed. I'm nowhere near bored with this game and I find myself finding time for LT between FF7 Rebirth and GT7.

How about variety of environments and exploration? I like challenge but need a bit more to stay engaged. I’d like to be convinced that it’s worth the asking price. It just sounds a bit like pitches for stuff like The Light Brigade where the gradually increasing difficulty and new weapon unlocks are touted as justify a longer play time… but you’ve actually seen all the enemy types and environments in the first two hour run and, for me, everything just felt repetitive afterwards.

I'm playing the game as well. It's surprisingly fleshed out - the enemy varieties get a little more nuanced. New attacks, abilities, patterns, etc. The bosses also start rapidly escalating. It doesn't really feel repetitive - I agree with Mercedes. It's certainly not open world, but there's more pathways than you think. It feels like an earlier Dark Souls or King's Tale game. It's also a good length game, I'm 14 hours into it and level 34 of 50. There's legendary weapons with unique abilities, fully fleshed out skill trees and builds that feel unique. I'm going full lightning mage and it plays completely differently than a melee character which plays completely differently from an archer. I understand the concern, it's a 55 dollar game, but it's been a real surprise to me. I'm kind of sick of tech demo / PoC games in VR, but this is definitely not that. Edit: Also using eye tracking to hit specific enemies with spells from a far distance is so freaking cool. It's as an awesome use of the tech and it works incredibly.

Those seem like contradicting comparisons. The early Souls games had a lot of variety in their zones and exploration has been one of the best parts of all of Miyazaki’s games. King’s Field on the other hand had very repetitive environments and is exactly what I’m worried about. Shadow Tower: Abyss was the only one of the vintage From dungeon crawlers that really avoided tedium in its dungeon design. The previews I’ve seen have shown the starting camp and then some caves and dungeons that are entirely indistinguishable from each other. If they’re just showing the first area and there’s more later, I’m interested. But if it’s just the same designs repeated… not really.

I also played Light Brigade and stopped after a handful of hours after only unlocking 3 more guns. LT hits different. I was playing with kirios last night and the dungeon we did was so claustrophobic I had to choke my hands up the spear haft cause it was getting hard to fight with it in such a narrow area. And speaking of enemy types, I thought I had them all pinned, when one skelly boy surprised me with a leaping spinning attack. I almost missed the parry cause I was surpised.

I mean it sounds like you're not interested which hey, nothing wrong with that. I'm having a wonderful time with it and repetitive would be one of the last words I'd use. Maybe give it a shot when it's on sale?

Eh, I don't really feel like my question got answered. Maybe I phrased it poorly. Is there visual variety in the exploration? I've only seen the same stone dungeon and cave assets reused for every area in videos.

This looks like it would cause seizures even for people without PSE. "Use in a well-lit area and keep as far away as possible from the television screen" my rear end, you're doing the exact opposite in VR. But oh yeah, I don't hate the Virtual Boy vibes. zmcnulty fucked around with this message at 06:14 on Mar 11, 2024 |

Finally beat a run of The Light Brigade with a level 9 Assault class. I've been off and on it for the past 6 months, but I often jump to the next class I unlock when I get bored of the current one. I wish it loaded faster and snappier and I don't like the pray to interact but it's a pretty solid roguelike and the guns feel great. Cyube VR is apparently coming out this weekend and is looking decent, for $30 I'll probably snatch it up if it gets some positive first impressions.

I haven't played a ton of PSVR games but I think the visuals are right alongside Red Matter 2. The controls are intuitive and I think it'll be a fun game.

Cyube is probably the prettiest thing I've seen in this headset? The render distance and lighting is amazing. If you enjoy the Minecraft early game of exploring and base building I think you'll like this a lot. That seems like the meat of the game, as there's no combat/enemies currently (although on the roadmap).

Yeah, it’s something I’ve been wanting for a long time and it feels like the right time to go for it. So assuming that when I go to the consult they don’t quote me some obscene cost (my eyes are garbage and I’ve seen most places say the cost scale is sliding based on how much they need to correct) I’m pulling the trigger on it. VR isn’t the reason, but man I think I would like vr a lot better afterwards regardless.

I guess if Sony wants to make owners of PSVR2 feel more confident in its future, they could release some new AAA flagship titles for it. That seems to be what most owners want to see.

It's unlikely to see an upward trajectory of sales from this point. The games are drying up, not helped by game dev crashing & burning in general and the hardware technologically behind the curve in several ways that matter (HDR and eye tracking aside). The announcement of it supporting PCVR comes across as a desperate attempt to move units. IMHO Sony should have made a standalone unit based on XR2 with pancake lenses, LCD displays with the ability to link wirelessly with the PS5, with a standalone library consisting mostly of Quest ports, perhaps with those games being cross-buy (between PSVR2 and PS5). After Quest it's hard to justify the existence of a mass-consumer tethered headset anymore. e: The guy does seem pretty unreliable, but this might be a stopped clock situation considering all the other circumstances that are happening.
