Ps5.vr2

[irishbeast]

Just wondering if anyone has bought one of these. I'm tempted but the price tag is quite hefty so want to get as many opinions as possible in the absence of being able to try.

 

Dabbled in vr about 5-6 ago and it was pretty crap. However the new headset seems to getting fab reviews 

 

Are there many games that work particularly well. Don't want to spend £500+ on something which is not that good. 

 

Is price likely to come down? I was thinking of waiting for price drop and perhaps some new games but am in two minds

 

Any real life experience would be ace!

The issue is that there are no gamss for it atm part from beatsaber and the like.

 

All the others are pretty much tech demo's.

 

So whilst the headsey is impressive there is little content for it

Being so new, lack of software and PSVR1 backward compatibility aren't helping it. Even if a general compatibility layer isn't possible I'd hope some PSVR1 games would get updated to explicitly support it. For now, look at the available games and decide if that's worth it for you.

 

I wouldn't count on a price drop unless they start using it as a loss leader.

 

Personally I'll wait for the ecosystem around it to develop more before I'd consider getting it.

While I agree the games selection is limited, I wouldn't go so far as to say they are demos any more than most VR experiences tend to be by its nature.  Most people can only spend short periods in VR so it doesn't really lend itself to long-form games.  I got quite the headache trying out Resident Evil.

As for the headset though, its pretty much the best on the market, kicks most PC headsets to the curb.

I've had PSVR, Oculus Rift S and now PSVR2 which is vastly superior.  I never could get Rift S to work properly for sitting down VR, PSVR2 "just works" while being better quality too.

I've always looked at VR as more an experience than a way to play traditional games though.  I'd be quite happy to just play a ton of walking simulators on it, as its absolutely exhausting to play anything really involved in VR and I don't have a lot of space to wave my arms around.

That's what I am thinking! It's an very expensive dust collector

Do Sony allow returns if I don't like the product? Just read somewhere that they do but would like to know for sure

Even if there aren't that many VR games available, PSVR 2 can still be worth it thanks to the Cinematic Mode, which essentially gives you another display to use that locks you into the best PS5 games and lets you experience them in brand new ways
have used it personally and honestly if your willing to have a great cinematic mode then go for it but if your okay without then leave it
