Why PSVR2 Still Matters in the Age of Standalone Headsets

With more and more wireless headsets coming to market, the PSVR2 may look like a tethered throwback, but here's why it still matters.

Meh. My best experience with my PSVR2 since I bought it at launch… HL Alyx, through the PC adapter.

Sony destroyed it in less time than it took them to develop it. Biggest waste of money ever. It absolutely crushed the momentum of VR.

Babadook760d ago

Nah. HL Alyx is amazing and PSVR2 is an amazing way to play it but I’d put a few native games up there with it. RE8, RE4R GT7 and Red Matter 2. Sony didn’t kill it and are still helping it get better.

Neonridr60d ago

unfortunately it's 3rd parties that were keeping this thing alive. Sony barely supported it.

S2Killinit60d ago

@Neonridr
You been hating on it since release. Why act like its already dead? Its going on, first party or not.

Neonridr60d ago

@S2Killinit - I'm a huge VR supporter and have owned a PSVR2 since day 1. Not sure where you get your information from. I love VR. owned a Rift, an Index, PSVR 1 and 2 and a Quest 3.

I'm just not delusional. Sony barely supported their own device. GT7, Horizon, Firewall Ultra (which the devs were shut down less than 6 months post release) and a few others. Not exactly putting their muscle behind the device. It was saved because of we had titles like RE8, 4 (and maybe Requiem) along with other great 3rd party titles like No Man's Sky and Beat Saber.

It's ok to acknowledge fault here and not be considered a "hater"

@s2killin the irony coming from someone who treated this gens xbox like it was dead before it even came out.
you can criticize something without hating or despising it, it's called being objective, you should try it.

If I had bought it exclusively for the PS5, I’d completely agree it was a waste of money. There are definitely some highlights, but modded Beat Saber alone has seen more play on my PC than every single VR game I own on the PS5. That’s why I actually think it ended up being a pretty good purchase. I grabbed it during that “burn it” sale for around 300 USD, and it’s basically lived on my PC ever since I finished RE8.

I’d really like it if Sony actually developed more stuff for it, but the reality is they’re barely supporting the main console as it is. So the poor accessory doesn’t stand a chance.

The lack of new games for the headset is what’s got me, seeing games being developed but many are not even coming to PSVR.

Meta, Steam/PCVR, and Pico always seem to be listed for many games coming to their platforms, then you look at PSVR2 and you might see one or two games.

Babadook760d ago

But compared to PC it’s usually the better 2 out of the crop. If RE9 has exclusive psvr2 support (it very likely will) we VR2 supporters will be enjoying the system immensely.

Abnor_Mal60d ago

Yes I know you’re right, I’m just a bit disappointed that so many new games aren’t reaching the system like others.

If PSVR2 can be used for pc vr gaming I have a problem understanding why those same games aren’t reaching not making their way over to PSVR2, I’m talking older already existing games on pc.

I don’t plan to get a PS6 for a very long time maybe after its fifth year, I got my 5 after three years, but I would hope PSVR2 is forward compatible with that system so the headset can have a vast library. Too bad they’re unwilling to talk to devs/ pubs to upgrade their PSVR games to PSVR2 games with updated controls.

Neonridr60d ago

I'm starting to doubt VR support for this game. Usually we would have heard that a VR mode was in development by now (at least with RE4 and RE8).

Jingsing60d ago (Edited 60d ago )

Lack of physical games put me off, I don't want a $500+ paperweight when I can no longer get digital content for it in years to come.

shambagamba60d ago

first party titles are sorely lacking after this lifetime. Were it a standalone console, this would have been taken out back and quietly put down a long time ago. The real shame is that it's a great bit of hardware. For whatever reason, Sony just haven't really given it much love.

Deathdeliverer60d ago

I love mine. I’ve had several awesome experiences. Here’s to more! Although…. No fault of the machines, but I just don’t have the time to play it as much as I’d like. Although you can’t beat having 30 minutes to spare and jumping into beat saber for some quick gratification.

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
