            Pavlov probably has modding on PSVR2, the whole reason they ditched Steam Workshop is to have cross-platform mods.

              I wish mod.io had a better interface, I actually approve of having a cross platform mod launcher that you access from within the game itself because that feels like it should be the default. The issue is from my experience using it they don't have a good way to sort through content, in Bonelab for example adding a mod.io repository just kinda dumps everything into one pool with no regard beyond alphabetizing for searching/organization, which is moronic.

Simgays love VR, it's a perfect environment for it except for massive forum boomers, they hate it because muh triple display setup. I can see this thing selling even just for GT7, and even though I already got Index, I think I can see myself buying this headset for GT7 purposes. Sounds like enough value for me, and if anything more pops up, say full-VR ace combat 7, i'll be crazy happy.

            Pure simgays will always pick PC. Other platforms don't have either iRacing or first rFactor from 2005, so they cannot compete.

      They are still stuck in 7th gen with everyone else and they know it. They are watching gaming be rendered into slop because even AAA companies have stopped investing in games and they have no idea how to fix it. They see people investing in VR and think that's the solution but they still need AAA companies to support it.
      There is no way to escape 7th gen because of normalgays providing reliable revenue with no need to stand out.

      Why hasn't anyone stepped up yet and started making good VR games?

      It needs an investment to release a noteworthy game and would kill the flatware games from a lot of studios if it caught on. Even if they released and supported the controllers separately it would still kill a lot of games that are built around the inadequacies of the standard controller.

      Ehh. With PSVR, that was the highest selling consumer headset in the market for a long while, and first party funding/support made it a strong foundation for the medium. To top it off, it was overall the cheapest and most consistent high-grade option in its time when considering hardware cost of the console versus a good PC. Right now though, the cost for the new version is immense, the console is costly already and the software support would likely be meager, I imagine. Not even the base console gets much support. Bit of a mess.

        Contrarianism and dishonest projection of their own purely emotional opinions. There is so much you can do with VR alone by just converting flatties into full geometric 3D. Including the mod scene. Then it is compounded by more practical application like being a god send for anyone doing animation work.

        Only real taint VR even has now is being associated with Cuckerborgs face thanks to facebook jumping the gun and trying to monopolize it even before it really established its roots. Facebook involvment is also rather harmful other then the negative marketing in that they are trying to kill off the supply chain of other providers like the company that makes lenses for the valve headset

                Because, like every console, they make more money from software sales on their own store, so they can sell the headset for cheaper. Making a headset without base stations requires developing your own AI tracking software or licensing it, since there's no open source solution like Valve's SteamVR Lighthouses. Valve is working with a company that's woking on open-source tracking so we can expect that by their next headset.
                Headsets also have lenses and cameras.

Same with keeping a game like Climb 2 locked to mobile shit.

                Yeah. I was looking at VR rigs. It reminds me of the period of HD video in the 2000s. That awkward zone of being too expensive to be consumer, but not high quality enough for professionals. The JVC cam that donimnated back then was referred to as prosumer. Only high end pornograpgers and bottom end indie directors touched it. It became absolutely obsolete a few years later with the jump in DSLRs. Now your average phone crushes it. Maybe if cheap DSLR's or phones get to that point soon for VR we'll see some cool stuff.

        quest 2 is 10 faster than ps3, and almost as fast as ps4 spec wise, that goes for the cpu, gpu, memeory and bandwith
        you can shitposts all you want, but new snapdragon smartphones chips are insane, even 3x faster than Quest 2 chip, snapdragon 2 specs
        >3.2 ghz 8 core, 8mb cache cpu
        >16gb lp ddr5 4200mhz
        >3.5 teraflop gpu

        this shit is no joke, its a fricking miricle you get hardware faster than entire consoles from just 7 years ago,
        its not weak by any means, any game from up to ps3 era will run on it, hell even games made around 2012-2013 like crysis 2 should run butter smooth if anybody ever ports them
        hardware isnt the problem, its lack of games, though RE4VR was great, wish we got more ports like this, ports that understand what makes VR good and also actually bother to redo textures and rebake lighting

          that's not really something to be proud of, honestly. It's led to stuff like Onward downgrading itself across the board visually just to keep up, and poor VRChat users being unable to access like 60% of the content

            yes its not ideal, but games didnt look so bad those 10 years ago, the problem is the native resolution requirement, running games at native 4k is taxing even for a 4080 on new games, back then 1080 was the norm
            still we have shit like temporal reconstruction and proper fov based rendering that should allow games to run 2x faster thats not being used almost at all in VR game
            > It's led to stuff like Onward downgrading itself across the board visually just to keep up, and poor VRChat users being unable to access like 60% of the content
            trying to have parity between an unoptimized title that barely runs on a 3080 with a gpu that 8x slower will always lead to such problems

      The best VR stuff is actually in racing-flying sims. You dont depend on those shitty ass motion controllers and the simulators were been developed for very long and the headset is just another peripherial to improve the experience. They are the ones who cried the most for making VR a thing.
      The rest is shovelware and tech demos sold as a game.
      This includes muh alyx yes...
      Valve made it just to sell a bunch of their overpriced and now useless index because no other game take advantage of the refresh rate and no one else will since of the hardware requirements to just run a game in VR is simply too high cept you play those mobile tower defense or shit like beat saber wich can be played on literal phone hardware, while the shitty faceberg quest 2 has better resolution for a fraction of the price and resolution is king because the journey to kill the "scren door effect" is still going.

      I blame Meta and Bethesda for taking a huge shit on the market early on. The low effort shit bethesda flooded the market with is what people think VR is, just shitty gimmicky mods for 20 year old games or scam 30 minute demos.

      Now the market is shit, broken up and despite insane quest 2 sales, 20 million units or something, there is no third party publisher willing to enter the market, and Meta refuses to make first party games, in fact their entire focus is to shut down existing games they have, occulus studio went from publishing games like stormland and asgard warth, lone echo to realising nothing in 2 years.

      VR is like Kinect where it was only really made for one kind of game and everything else is either a gimmick or utter shit. For Kinect it ws the dancing games. For VR I have no idea. The additional problem of VR is the 3D glasses problem, it is fricking inconvenient to use. VR is not viable for the masses unless the figure out how to make it usable without making you look like a drone in the matrix and make it cheap.

            If Nintendo made their next machine a VR stand alone machine that can deliver PCVR quality without wiring, and releases several Triple A titles that take advantage of what we know works in VR now (Zelda and Metroid would be especially strong candidates) they could save the medium and have a real hit.

            You are REALLY wrong.
            Games on Kinnect were shit because Kinnect was shit. It desynched and misinterpreted any basic movement.
            >it is fricking inconvenient to use.
            Quest2 is literally the googles and 2 controllers, all set up in 2 minutes.
            >made for one kind of game
            I fricking WISH Steel Battalion for shitnect was delayed 4 years and released on a platform that reads the fricking inputs correctly.
            You won't make many games other than FPS because the point of VR is immersion.

            There are tons of glorified tech demos showing off a range of possibilities with VR that isn't just POV. Mouse is a very good example. Using the nintendo example - Zelda would be something like Climb meets the Valve archery games etc.

            But Mario could be like Mouse (which feels like you at a really elaborate, insane tabletop controlling a little mouse around it).

            I mean, there is lots of stuff there to work with...just maybe no demand.

        Beat Saber is a rhythm+dancing game unlike anything you can play on any hardware, and is very good unlike Kinect. Though it's still very narrow use case.

        In terms of inconvenience, it's not just the inconvenience of putting it on, but sweat due to physical action and standing. This makes VR much less accessible compared to flatscreen games. Roomscale VR won't replace your usual movie games. Roomscale VR will only work for short spectacular novelty immersion games, which we don't have the hardware to run. Flatscreen gamers keep talking how graphics can't get better anymore, but in my personal experience, stereo vision of VR on a high res headset like Reverb G2 quickly reveals the limits of the fidelity, even though it's running at 30 fps and the pixel density and FOV are far from being maxed out. PSVR2 will look nice due to good optimization and eye tracking, but even that is only the first taste of acceptable quality VR.

        What I believe VR has viable future for, is sit-down games with controller or mouse+keyboard like Hellblade VR (controller) and Overload (m+kb). Those are 100x better in VR and have loads of headroom for more fidelity, FOV and comfort, Whereas on flat screen it doesn't really get better after 4K. A challenge of these games is motion sickness which some people get over and some not. I'd say Hellblade is already preferable to play on Reverb G2 but it would become even more worth it with better hardware.

            I would say Kinect doesn't have the required accuracy and latency to play Beat Saber. On screen you also don't get the sense of what height (head/chest/waist) the notes are coming from, which is integral part of the game and how good maps are designed to make you move your body. Sure, you can flap your hands based on muscle memory but that's like half of the experience.

            >, is sit-down games with controller or mouse+keyboard like Hellblade VR
            Lazy fat frick, frick you.

            I'm underweight by the way. The reality is just that you won't be playing physical games for 5 hours a day after work, so you won't be cramming as deep games into the more limited timeframe. Especially when you allocate your physical energy to more fun physical activities like Beat Saber.

        Is continuous movement with the thumbstick bad design? I’m legitimately asking. I’ve only played modded Skyrim with my headset so far, and it’s been a great experience. Thought I was done with the game forever, but being actually in Tamriel sucked me back in. Being honest, though, I never considered for a second actually physically walking around my room to move, though. That sounds awfully tedious, since you’ll run into a barrier every 3 seconds.

            This seems like the real reason why vr will always be niche. Too many people have weak stomachs, so you have to design to the lowest common denominator, resulting in compromised movement systems. Shooters with 6 degrees of freedom have also always struggled with this. Descent is one of the most innovative and still fun to play shooters of the 90s, but it gets little acclaim, because stomachlets can’t hang.

          Frickerberg was smart pricing Quest 2 at "impulse buy" range around $350 and advertised it as an all in one solution that doesn't need PC (Though its compatible with PC) when it started off, then raised the price later on. PSVR 2 doesn't have that "Impulse buy" price tag and is hardware locked to a console so no matter what software it has. It's a hard sell to get people to spend $600+ on a headset that's limited.

        What they need to do is give AAA games some kind of VR mode. But not like Hitman where you play first person with wobble hands. Just somehow play the game normally, but with a headset instead of a TV

        no, they could license and make those games and it would STILL not take off.

        There are still two major reasons these headsets become dust collectors, its the space you need to play. Not many have 2mx2m or more to play comfortably.

        Secondly, energy. With a console or pc you get back home after a long day of work and you sit down to play and relax. Vr requires energy, who the frick wants to stand up and flail their arms after work?

        lastly, yeah, no games.

          Space has been a problem for me since I moved. I wish the wireless latency was better so I could run off my PC but be in my living room. Or they made more games that are seated (not driving sims - even something like Mouse is really cool/interesting). In fact plenty of traditional controller games could be fun in VR.

          There's just no games that hook you for a long time unless you get really into vr chat (which is arguably more of a social platform than a game) or you start modding other games.
          What really pisses me off is that I loved Pavlov but the devs split their already small playerbase by not having crossplay with the quest version. Now the PC version is dead outside of TTT servers.

              Cameras for eye tracking are not that expensive, moron. The reason it's uncommon is because it costs to research and develop. The cost probably comes from the great haptic feedback on the headset and controllers, and the controllers having force feedback and finger tracking, and the overall build quality.

                it's quite pricey to do that, in which case you might as well get an Index for better support. The better resolution of the HP reverb does come at a cost, it's not a straight upgrade; the view becomes blurry if the headset shifts even a little on your head, and the FOV is much smaller. So basically it's higher resolution partly because the pixels are condensed into a smaller area.

      Unless you already have a ps5 theres no reason to buy a psvr2 and even if you do, chances are you will like vr to the point that you'll be jelly of all the vr mods pcvr users are making videos of and sell both your ps5 and psvr 2 to get a gaming pc and wireless headset (although if coming from psvr2 you will probably prefer a wired one)

    The problem with the PSVR 2 is that it will easily be outdated in a year. It's big and bulky, with resolution that isn't really that future proof and it still uses Fresnel lenses rather than the more up to date lenses called Pancake lenses. OLED is really the only thing that makes it stand out from other VR headsets. Eye tracking will obviously be way too under utilized to actually make it worthy to buy for.

    The no BC thing is pretty idiotic. I know some of those PSVR games utilize the PS4's light bar for controller tracking but I think the amount of sales they would gain by having the devs adjust those games to account for the PS5 controller to make them forwards compatible would outweigh whatever the devs would ask for. I understand not doing it for every single game but the few top tier PSVR games like Until Dawn, Blood and Truth, Wipeout, Astro Bot, it's idiotic not to at least bring these games compatible.

            See any high quality 3D hentai (NOT game, just videos). While adpating that to game form would be cool and all, it's the movie element (lack thereof) that really frustrates me. I can't expect a Hentai Game to have the same level of production as Alyx, obviously, but on the lower end, the jump from regular 2D porn (hentai or real) to simple VR porn is not that huge and it still isn't happening.

            With the games, I just can't get into them the same way I don't play 2D hentai because it doesn't feel the same quality as real games.

              If you want a full consistent story and extremely high quality animation in VR hentai, I can recommend you Houkago Rinkan Chuudoku. But yeah, i guess i get your point now, cm3d2 and koikatsu are indeed wonky sandboxes.

              if Alyx, Boneworks, or stuff like Into the Radius is not good for you in terms of what VR could do, then i guess you won't be happy any time soon. You're right about this one, AAA quality is nowhere to be seen (Alyx aside), and all of the fun comes from all of the experimental vidya and semi-indie that are trying to figure out just how far can you take it. I loved smashing knees of my enemies with a brick in Boneworks and then watching them limp, even if game wasn't grand AAA overall, but to each their own.

                There ARE no industry standards for VR games. Most VR games are glorified tech demos. Alyx was also a glorified tech demo, but Valve is very good at making tech demos.

                No, but there are industry standards, like sprinting, or melee damage, or at least object damage, Alyx has none of those, it almost didn't even have smooth locomotion.

                What exactly are those industry standards you're talking about? This game was full effort as far as vidya goes, turn it into a flatscreen game and it'll still be a very solid piece of vidya

                No, but there are industry standards, like sprinting, or melee damage, or at least object damage, Alyx has none of those, it almost didn't even have smooth locomotion.

                Oh, but those are VR industry standards. In that regard, yes, Alyx is trash compared to all of the freedom you get in B&S or Boneworks, but that's kinda what AAA is about, isn't it? A polished, restrictive experience, just like flat AAA.

                That's my problem, precisely. VR is so frustrating because of what it can do but currently isn't. I definitely think the current gen will die out due to lack of games. Even Boneworks feels like a concept more than a fully fledged game. I don't know what the answer is. Unless you're getting a game like Alyx releasing once a month, I can't see VR becoming "standard", but obviously you don't get that without everyone taking up VR.

                Only solution I can think of is the hardware (both headsets and cameras) somehow making a big reduction in price.

Or is there literally some jam up in the production pipeline that is stopping devs from making VR. I kind of expected VR optionality to be more common now. Even seeing COD VR packaged with new releases. Stuff like Alien Isolation for example got modded quite well. How much effort would it take for a Dev to make a VR option in the Dead Space remake for example?

                It's a niche, but it's doing well at its niche. Oculus is huge, Index was selling so well you couldn't even get one without a queue for the first year of its existence. Vidya is the problem, it's pretty quiet recently, so what we need is more innovative devs and fun games. If someone doesn't want to drop $300 on VR, they just don't want VR at all, and only games can change that.

                >How much effort would it take for a Dev to make a VR option in the Dead Space remake for example?
                oh, a shit ton. You can half-ass it quickly and get something like Skyrim VR, absolute trash in vanilla state where you wiggle a sword to provoke a an emulated left mouse button press. If you want to actually make a good VR game, you build it from scratch, the way you operate and interact in VR is just so vastly different from flatscreen. Something as simple as shooting a bullet can already be a huge trouble, many games just trace a bullet from the center of your screen, so that has to be re-done so hitscan ray shoots out of the gun. And then suddenly shooting is no longer a player-only mechanic that uses some weird wonky classes and objects that handle shooting mechanics on screen, now it's an action related only to the gun, and then everything just flips itself upside down. It feels like VR port would be more bothersome to make than a full VR game from scratch.

                RE4 is the closest you can get without remaking it completely, the combat part is great, feels so natural. But the interaction is complete ass, you can't even carry the items after you pick them up, or use them for their actual purpose, for instance the Sword puzzle in the castle, you can take the sword, inspect it thoroughly up close, but if you place it in front of where it goes, it does nothing, you have to save the sword on your inventory and then you can use the button prompt.

                I would picture it less like modding the game after it's done and more that you would have a VR team working concurrently with the main team, so a lot of the design and asset work can be peeled off.

                I remember playing Onward and thinking how sad it was that COD or Battlefront didn't take an Alyx style risk on a Triple AAA multiplayer shooter.

                But yeah. Valve really fricked up because their preoccupation with babying players precluded multiplayer in their minds pretty much immediately. Unfortunately I think their comfort focus never panned out, the audience for VR just adapted to analog sticks and smooth movement, and multiplayer is really the heart and soul that keeps VR alive. You get so much in the way of VR interactions for "free" with multiplayer.

                Medal Of Honor is cursed. Ten years ago they had the opportunity to bridge the gap between autism simulators like Arma and casual shooters with the contemporary Medal Of Honor reboot. They went to the trouble of paying enlisted SEAL Team 6 operators to give them all the details of modern combat (to the point that it led to an FBI raid). They had all the ingredients. And then...the finished game was a complete shoddy mess.

                They had the golden oppoetunity to tip VR into the mainstream and fricking dropped the ball hard.

Imagine if they had honed it to at least Insurgency tier. It was honestly so much fun even it's crude state EVEN after Meta raped the graphical performance.

      I think it's the industry as a whole. AAA has become synonomouse with over priced and under delivered. right now only indie games are still fun. consoles are basically AAA machines so if AAA is lackluster then consoles are lackluster. gamepass is the only reason to get an xbox. quest is the only console bringing somethig different, kinda like nintendo games are crappier resource wise but there's always a market becuase the games they offer are different from other consoles. if sony is going to make a move here, besides a standalone their best move will be in 3d video streaming since it doesnt really exist currently. I doubt they do so tho cause it would only be sony movies

    VR is just this generation's kinect. Sure, there are a couple cool things you can do, but most of it is overhyped and impractical, and it will never actually reach its potential and just divert resources from actual game development.

      couldn't be more wrong.

      Kinect was unusable imprecise garbage, which only could work with dancing games and that was a stretch.

    PSVR1 was released when vr was still a hot new thing, was the most beginner friendly device on the market, and only required a box most households already owned for netflix, while competing with expensive and clunky devices that generally needed a large area completely cleared out and a decently strong computer.

    PSVR2 is coming out after metaverse wankery has largely poisoned the well for vr, at $550, exclusively for a $500 box whose main draws are "you can play all the same games the previous box you most likely still have can, and you can also use netflix, even though your tv can probably do that on its own now" that most people do not own, competing with a $400 standalone device at similar specs that was designed to be beginner friendly to the point even 5 year olds have no trouble with it.

          You mean complete standalone games, tiktoks of normalgays having fun, and widening the audience to a point where developing for it became viable?
          Or you mean the same way kotaku is obsessed with Meta Horizon for some reason and keep calling it "metaverse"? Because those are the only morons spreading that.

    I'm getting it, but Sony should really make PC drivers available if they want this to sell. It sounds like a good headset but not using it on PC is probably a big dealbreaker for many. Also pricetag obviously.

      I think they need to make it a pcvr hmd after they inevitably fall on their faces at launch. The PS5 is underpowered for the headset they’ve designed. A ~2070/5700xt can get the job done, sort of, but it’s going to have fsr, motion smoothing, and foveated rendering working overtime.

        I guess I'll find out in 2 weeks if the quality looks bad or if it doesn't run well. Reviews sounded pretty positive so the initial batch of games will probably be fine. I'd like to use it with my 3080 though.

        Isn't a PS5 basically a PC with a different OS? Why would it be harder to send a video to PC through a USB c cable than a ps5?

            So they would have trouble porting whatever they are using on PS5? Clearly they have video through a USB there.

          guy who did psvr1 pc drivers said it can't be done because the tracking happens inside the headset and while psvr1 acted as a monitor in wondows, the psvr2 can even have encrypted video

            psvr1 was just a monitor with some LED lights, and PSVR2 has cameras, tracks itself internally and uses usb3 for video

            Yea that's why I'm hoping Sony comes to their senses and supports this themselves on PC, so there won't be encryption and they can adapt whatever tracking system they are already using.

        I think it has a lot to do with the PS4 and PS5 controller. The light sensor from the PS4 controller can allow it move in a 3D space. But having played some PSVR games on the PS5 with the PS5 controller, the controller is fixed since it doesn't work with the PS4 camera. I don't believe you can move it in a 3D space with any PS5 games. You can use a PS4 controller on PS5, but with PSVR2 there's obviously no camera for it to work. Some PSVR games like RE7 and Doom VFR already use a fixed controller setting. I hope to see some games get updates to work with PSVR2. Like all they have to do is have some virtual PS4 camera, you're already able to move freely in 3D without it.

    Make it PCVR compatible and none of this would happen.

        Am I missing anything out by not having a native pc vr headset? Is there a clarity issue with link streaming or is the same as a native headset? Sorry for the questions, I've just been curious.

          I heard about it, yeah, but wired have it's own downsides. You know, wire.

          I don't have much experience with quest, I use Reverb g2, and I'd say that resolution of g2 is only a slightly better, Not worth it upgrading from quest2 for that.

    I'll never understand how Sony will push forward with this given how (aside from Nogaems PS5 issues) PSVR was midding at best. So something as expensive as a console... but yet it does not advertise PC compatibility?

    All of this reminds me how stupid and slow to adapt Sony has been. Microsoft managed to get PC owners who don't give a shit about Xbox to buy their peripherals like the controllers by supporting them well, but Sony even after seeing this literally since the fricking X360 /.PS3 era hasn't really gotten onboard? You'd think they'd go out of their way to ensure this thing works on PC and is SteamVR compatible, but they can't even (at least so far) get a PC application to update firmware and configure custom layouts for the DualSense Edge (the newly released, overall pretty awesome parallel to the Xbox Elite S2) so what the frick are they doing! Same thing with their stupidity given porting their exclusives to PC via Steam - yes its good they eventually port them and don't do EGS bullshit exclusivity, but now that they see that their titles sell wel they need to hurry the frick up and make sure there's a near-parity release for their newer titles. Like SpiderMan and Spiderman 1.5: SpiderBlack both sell very well on PC (after a long fricking time) so are they committing to SpiderMan 2 being both PS5 + PC concurrently? Nope! Same way we don't have the most recent Dad of War or Horizon Forbidden Pronouns, yet. Frick!

    If the PSVR 2 hardware is decent, then release it PC compatible and get more sales than you're likely to get from the console types who are not willing to spend the equivalent of another fricking console to get some halfass VR mode support and questionable performance
