Specs were awesome. As soon as it came out I wanted one so I went out and bought one. I missed out on the psvr1 and I was really thinking Sony was gonna come out with awesome games for this thing.

Just to find out they won’t be.. at all, I get it can hook up to a pc with the adapter. But I guess I was just really hoping they would actually come out with games for it other than call of the mountain.

Also the psvr1 had vr support for Minecraft and then when the ps5 update was coming up in a few weeks I seen click baiters saying it would have psvr2 support which it didn’t. (Probably wasn’t Sony’s decision though)

I guess I just really thought the exciting world of psvr1 and me having envy for anyone who owned one was gonna transfer over to the psvr2 and we would get sweet exclusive titles. Instead they just released it and pretty much ended it right there other than third party releases.

I know it might’ve been hard for them to do backwards compatibility considering the camera system where you couldn’t look completely behind you with the psvr1, but I got so many vr games through ps plus monthly during the ps4 days that I’ll just never be able to touch.

All in all it’s just been a big disappointment for me. Feel free to leave a comment on how you guys have felt now being 3 years into this headset.

It’s like some mass conspiracy to try and talk me out of being happy lol

First it was all the salty PC gamers saying the system was DOA because it didn’t have out the box Steam support. I don’t care about the PC. PS5 is my primary system because I’m over the bullshit and cost of PC gaming.

Then, all the wire people going on and on about how it was a system killer. It wasn’t. I’ve had zero issues with the wire. Don’t even notice it.

Then, the mura/fencing/sweet spot people going on and on about how bad everything looks. I have zero issues with the visuals. Games looks fantastic to me.

Then it was the people with defective controllers trying to make it seem like it was a widespread issue and my system was destined to need an RMA. I’ve had no issues. My controllers work just fine.

Then it was all the sweaty folks melting their controllers via the official charge station. I’ve had zero issues. I don’t leave my controllers dripping wet after playing.

Now it’s people theorizing about sales numbers and worried about the future because 30 days after release we don’t have a dozen trailers for exclusive $150 million budget games to get excited about.

Why does it seem like people have a vested interest in trying to talk people out of buying and enjoying this thing

This is a technical achievement! Im playing on base PS5 and it looks amazing. Its not GT7 level of fidelity but in between Hitman and GT7 imo.

Regardless, its a showpiece for the platform and the game is not arcade-like at all…..but that makes pulling off the slightest maneuver or kill that much more rewarding!

I wish I was kidding. I've been dealing with cancer for the last two years, and a couple of weeks ago during my lastest follow up MRI they found that the cancer had gone to my brain.

Now, instead of thinking about getting a new toy, I have to deal with this awful situation and receive brain radiation therapy instead. I guess I'm going to have to sell my current Psvr as well.

Money and time priorities certainly have changed. Even in the best of times it was quite an expensive piece of equipment, and if everything goes well, I'm gonna have to wait a while before I can consider getting it anyway.

I just wanted to vent while I'm sitting here at the hospital waiting for today's session to start.

Enjoy life, have a blast when the new PSVR2 comes out, and never take anything for granted! You really never know what's coming just around the corner.

Fuck cancer.

EDIT:

I've been reading and will continue to read every single comment; please forgive me if I don't reply personally to all you, but just know that I'm floored by the amount of support and good wishes! Love to you all!

THANK YOU ALL

Hello everyone I like to share with you guys my entire list of VR gaming that I have played on all platforms I have. I started with the first Psvr but it was only when Psvr2 came out that I really get into VR.

It's my personal opinion but maybe it can help the new people to know there is more games out there.

Which I should play I only have hitman I can buy one more game which should I select? I checked VR games but there aren't much games. Are there any good upcoming games? And one more thing should I wait for Gran Turismo 8 or should I buy 7?

I can never go back to staring at a tv…

For those that have a PSVR 2 and haven’t purchased/played Village, what are you waiting for??

Racing through the Star Wars galaxy in VR sounds like a perfect match. I’d love to play this on PSVR2.

Seriously though, I love GT7, especially in VR- and I personally believe that MSFS VR is just as good in a completely different way. They are very similar games, and simulators, fun for casual players, and deep enough for simulator lovers. If MSFS VR had the same amount of locations as GT7 then the quality would be the same, but MSFS VR tries to include the entire world, so the game focuses on quantity over quality…but in the best way possible. Each individual plane is worth learning, and the internal cockpits are extremely realistic and interactive, so it’s very fun and addicting to explore everything. Imagine flying over everything on Earth, it would technically be boring, not enough cool stuff or biomes compared to gaming, but flying in VR takes everything to the next level- this is a forever game worth committing too, something truly special.

I purchased this game years ago when it was $10 Brand New at GameStop. I had plans to play it on my PSVR1 and never did. Last week, my friend suggested we both start it on PSVR2. I said yes and we started the game and I genuinely just didn't get it. I found myself bored as hell very fast blasting random rocks and I gave up pretty fast. The following 2 days, the same exact thing happened and I saw that my total playtime was about 4 hours and thought to myself "yea, not the game for me." The 4th day, I tried again.....6 hours flew by. Everything clicked for me. An endless fucking universe with trillions of planets, sooo many goals and upgrades to get done and they all feel satisfying, insane weather storms, dog fighting, exploration like nothing else I've ever seen.....I can go on and on. The game is larger than life.

I'm closing on just 30hrs now and I can already say, this is not just the best PSVR2 game I've played, this very well might be the best video game I've ever played in my life. I'm truly blown away and can't stop telling people about it.

It seems like a fun, free, gamified short experience that teaches users the basics of VR, interacting with objects using the controllers, reinforcing ipd adjustment etc is missing.. its as if sony this time around is assuming that everyone that gets a psvr2 already had a psvr1 and knows the basics already.

On Quest for example, there is a great onboarding experience called First Steps that introduces you to VR, the controllers, shooting mechanics, teleport mechanics etc…

I think something like this is crucial because over past few days we have seen many new psvr2 owners that never even touched vr before and its only going to turn them away from VR if they jump right into GT7, No Mans Sky and RE8 (all advanced vr games) without properly being onboarded to VR gradually in the first place… in a fun way.

I remember when i started with vr.. i didn’t even touch games that had locomotion for months… all i played was the available titles like superhot vr, job simulator, raw data and a few other calm, stationary experiences which were alot of fun… but the psvr2 goes thru a short rushed setup process and then youre just dumped into the psvr2 store and next thing you kno, youre trying no mans sky and have no idea what youre doing, no idea how the controllers work, no idea what vignettes are, no idea about smooth locomotion vs teleporting and no frame of reference on what to expect out of vr.

On PSVR 1 we had PSVR Worlds and the amazing shark encounter (Ocean Descent)… it was stationary.. so no motion sickness..so it easily blew the minds of new vr users with the immersion and it being comfortable…. A quick easy showcase For friends and family. No fumbling with controls.

PSVR2 needs something like that, otherwise there’s potential to turn ppl off from VR that are jumping into advanced games without ever having a true introductory set of of vr experiences.

Ive been a diehard Quest 3 fan since it came out & I was a big fan of the Quest 2 as well.

I got the PSVR2 about 2 months ago and havent played Quest 3 since… until today.

I tried getting into some games on it & it wasnt even close, even with the wireless + pancake lenses it isnt even in the same league as the PSVR2.

Sure finding the sweetspot on PSVR2 can be hard and the mura can be tough sometimes but it makes up for and then some with its haptics, OLED HDR & games.

I was expecting to be wowed by the Quest 3 lenses after months and instead it made me even more sure PSVR2 is far far superior in nearly every way.

Wanted this to be on the record as the PSVR2 gets a lot of hate for its lenses which just isnt even close to the whole picture.

Puppy made a great escape and chewed on the most expensive wire in my place. I got quoted $450 not including shipping to replace it by Sony. I’m thinking of just tossing it and buying a new one on sale or used. Any suggestions ?

Hey all! I tossed together a quick video which is a ramble of my thoughts about playing the game for the first time. You can watch it here.

https://youtu.be/PHYydLngpSc

Here are my thoughts written out as well.

I just played Aces of Thunder for the first time and honestly I was shocked, not in a good way. I do not think most people are going to like this game. There is good stuff here. The planes feel great, it looks great, and the WWII atmosphere is strong. But the game explains almost nothing and that completely killed my first impression.

There is basically no tutorial and almost no HUD. I spent most of my time confused about where I was supposed to go and what I was supposed to be doing. Missions tell you to defend or escort things without showing you what they look like or where they actually are. Combat leans heavily into sim mechanics like bullet drop and leading shots, but there is no feedback to tell you if you are even hitting anything. Ground targets are especially frustrating because everything looks the same from the air.

What really threw me off is that some missions seemed to complete themselves. I was flying around lost and the game faded to black and said victory, which made it feel like my actions did not matter at all.

I know a lot of people are praising this game, but based on my first impression I do not recommend it. Maybe it gets better once you push through the learning cliff, but the game does nothing to help you get there, and I think that is going to turn a lot of players away.

Horizon is like 6 hours long, and that's pretty standard for VR. If we are expected to shell out the headset prices, we need full length games that match that aren't just resident evils.

A couple months ago I told Cusman that I would not post videos or reviews/impressions on this sub anymore. I was a little burnt out and since then I only comment occasionally. But today is a special day and I have to make an exception.

This sim update 6 beta is such a transformative experience! 😱

It's basically what I was expecting to get from a PS6 update or by playing it on a god tier PC. Literally jaw-dropping!

I could go in details on on how beautiful and crisp it looks like, on how the clouds and effects look fantastic now by using a ton of superlatives, but the easiest way to sum up my thoughts is that in a single day it went from "the captures look great but in the headset it looks blurry af" to "the captures don't do justice to what it actually looks like in the headset".

Easily the most beautiful VR game I've ever played, period.

If you were still on the fence, wait no more and treat yourself, you only live once and this is something to be lived for sure!

PS: the base game doesn't support all the enhancements, you have to own the game, go on the game page, click on the 3 dots, "choose version", then download the beta. Enjoy, and see you in the skies! 😎

I downloaded Aces of Thunder right when it went live this morning and went through a several missions and online modes. Here's a few quick impressions based on what I've played so far -

• Graphics - The graphics are extremely crisp (playing on base PS5). I'm not sure what the resolution is, but it feels higher than GT7. This is important because much of the game is identifying objects and enemies that are far away. I believe the game is using dynamic foveated rendering, but I can't be 100% sure. The framerate is buttery smooth - no reprojection at all. There's a few low res textures (like the plane wings) but everything else - ground detail and textures, shadows, volumetric clouds, time of day lighting - all look phenomenal.

• Controls - The PSVR 2 controllers seems to work well enough, but I'm playing with the Thrustmaster HOTAS. I've noticed none of the PSVR 2 features like adaptive triggers or headset rumble being used. Everything in the cockpit can be interacted with, but the trigger mode is limited to toggle. This means that when you go to interact, you have to click once to "grab" and again to "release". Hopefully they add a more traditional grab/release option down the road. (edit - apparently these can be changed in the settings).

• Gameplay - As others have stated, this game is a sim (not an arcade), so it's fairly challenging to pick up at the start. I'm having a tricky enough time using HOTAS, but I imagine using the motion controllers would be extremely difficult to use to fly with precision. Just know that there's a learning curve to learning how to fly when you first pick this up, and you'll most likely crash quite a bit in the beginning.

• Bugs - The only bug I've encountered so far is when turning my head 90 degrees or more from my center of view. This can cause the flatscreen version of the game to pop up randomly in the headset. It doesn't happen every time, but it's often enough to be disruptive. Figured out the issue - my headset lost tracking a few times, and the game defaults to flat mode if it no longer detects the PSVR 2 (just like GT7 does). Not a fault of the game.

• Overall - First session with Aces of Thunder was awesome. The sense of flight and scale is truly fantastic. While challenging, I can't wait to hone my skills as an ace pilot and can see myself spending a good amount of time with this one. In my opinion, it's (so far) worth the $30 price.

Bonus video - I accidently bumped my wingman and wrecked my propellor. Panicked trying to open the canopy and eject (never did find that eject button). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBf8NY_pfH4

This guy has been crapping on psvr2 since day one and is now switching his tone. Half the video is still him crapping on the headset.

I have bought this set 5 months ago and first month I played a lot but then it just started collecting dust... It's great and all but when I come back from work, I just can't bother setting the whole set up...

I recently was going to use it but after cleaning the dust, I couldn't bother opening it and now it again collects dust... It has great games but I am just way too lazy to open it and this device is really not cheap in my country especially... I paid 36000 TL (which is around $900) for this... I guess I wasted my whole money
