PlayStation VR2: The First Hands-On - IGN

IGN: "Check out our first hands-on impressions of PlayStation VR2 and Horizon Call of the Mountain."

darthv721220d ago

Man this is looking even better than I thought. I have the same headphones already so I'm all set for the sound part.

EvertonFC1220d ago

I'm so hoping for a metro series VR2 version at some point especially the 1st 2 games.

LordoftheCritics1220d ago

Sony delivering as usual.

It's called Playstation for good reason.

jivah1219d ago (Edited 1219d ago )

Why remakes and adaptations tho. Instead of new ips, sequels and new sagas that add new experiences. On top of what is already there. If we remake everything, specifically games that are perfectly playable, there will be no progress and just circling the drain to kingdom come.

S2Killinit1218d ago

I want new games. Looking at how good RE Village looks, we are in for a ride. The foveated rendering allows for VR gaming thats close (identical?) to regular flat games.

I for one, cant wait.

tbagmonster1220d ago (Edited 1220d ago )

oh this is looking awesome, wearing a full helmet on my head to play a game, oh wow. no thanks , the way this looks with the headphones on is laughable

ClayRules20121220d ago

Lol, your comment is laughable. Relax, tbag!

The guy detailed some fair criticisms, and yet, the PSVR 2 looks to have impressed him and many others, which is great!

If you don’t want to wear a “full helmet” on your head when playing a full video game (specifically for VR) I suggest you RIGHT NOW go brain storm, come up with a better design, the money, and get to work or come up with the design and pitch it to someone, and come back here in a few years and report on what you’ve accomplished.

May the odds be ever in your favor…

crazyCoconuts1220d ago

I try not to let my wife see me while playing VR lol...i get that it doesn't look cool in the real world. But there really isn't anything better yet, and I'm not going to pass up awesome gaming experiences for years just because I don't look good while doing it.

EvertonFC1220d ago

I'm hoping the 4.5meter cable isn't too long lol, I know it sounds like a complaint but I don't want it getting in the way either if you know what I mean .

ApocalypseShadow1220d ago

Naysayers still trying their best and failing.

All the previews are showing PS VR 2 is the real deal. And matches and in some ways, surpass many PC VR games in visuals. Thing is, Sony has the franchises, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd party support no other headset has. That's all that matters.

ClayRules20121220d ago

Well said.

They’ll keep running their mouths, but the PSVR 2 is really impressing people with its overall improvements and great high end quality, which is great!

Sony invested a lot in this and it’s not some cheap thing, that’s for sure.

moomoo3191220d ago

The only thing sounds meh is the audio options. I dont want to wear a full headset with that thing so i guess earbuds?

Mr_cheese1220d ago

Got to love a negative from somebody who clearly has no intention of ever using the product.

VR is here to stay be it PSVR, Oculus, have and what ever the rest come up with. Sure its not for everybody and that's okay because that's how choice works

EvertonFC1220d ago

Exactly it's hardly a fashion accessories, it'll do what it's intended to do and put you right in the heart of the game and improve immersion that a traditional game never will.
I'm just hoping there's lots of Devs out there looking at giving there old games a second wind/chance knowing alittle Dev investment could work well in VR.
Examples;
Metro 1 and 2
Deadspace
Killlzone(at least MP)
Resistance (again at least MP)
Layers of fear
Bioshock
Spec ops
Sorcery
Zombi
Modnation racers etc

ocelot071220d ago

By the way this guy is sounding. He seems more concerned about how he looks when playing games.

ClayRules20121220d ago

@crazyCoconuts
Lol, don’t feel bad man, it’s all good. Yes, don’t pass up on those video games experiences just because of how you might look, it can make for some great memories for you both…okay, maybe just her lol. It depends, but even if you look ridiculous, it’s all good haha! But continue enjoying them man, and I’m excited to hear what you think of PSVR 2 when it arrives!

@EvertonFC
Lol, yeah hopefully that cable won’t be too much of an issue, and we can use are preferred rooms with enough space to let our bodies breath in this VR experience with freedom of movement without really any issues.

F0XH0UND9221219d ago

Probably the saddest comment I've seen on N4G. Who cares what you look like while you're playing a VR game lmao Thanka for taking the time to comment and tell us you're not interested.

tbagmonster1219d ago

the masses do, if your trying to reach more then 10 million players then it matters, it looks rediculous, only a small subest of players will bother with a helmet to play games, seperating players will always be a issue as well., its great tech that will only go so far no matter how good it gets.

F0XH0UND9221219d ago

Well stats don't agree with your opinion. Sorry

1219d ago
Knushwood Butt1219d ago

No way I'm getting this; I just look too cool when playing flat screen games.

Stanjara1219d ago

I just thought the same thing, a helmet.

ironmonkey1219d ago

You wasted Time in your no life just to comment.

Eurogamer also did a VR2 impressions

potedude1219d ago

It was quite a bit more favourable than the IGN first impressions too.

S2Killinit1219d ago

That’s expected from IGN. They are very critical of Playstation.

Einhander19711220d ago

Let the haters hate, PSVR 2 is going to be amazing!! Its all jealousy from sad trolls. No matter how great something is some looser needs to put it down.

S2Killinit1218d ago (Edited 1218d ago )

Every other hands on review talking about the controller features says it adds another layer of physicality that adds to the immersion of VR even more, IGN decides to downplay it.

Can’t wait, especially now that I’ve learned that Ace Combat8 will not have any kind of vr component.

Wasn’t really keeping up with Aces because it was all multiplayer, I guess this will have to do
