Who’s to blame… the developers or the expectations of a western market?
If you're looking for 'must have' PSVR 2 games then look no further. These are the 10 titles every PSVR 2 owner should have in their library.
If you're wanting more PSVR 2 support, you should probably buy all of these games.
Speak with your wallet!
Bit rich to have to buy games you don't want because you want Sony to support the expensive headset they sold us which cost as much as the console it runs on beyond paying third partys to support it.
Seriously in terms of first party we have horizon on day 1 and a gt 7 vr mode.
They seemingly have made little effort to support it beyond paying Capcom to make re games in VR or a second party studio to make firewall which was mismanaged.
I'm a day 1 psvr2 user and the only thing I'm excited for right now is PC support.
I commented recently this bespoke VR game development model we have right now clearly doesn't work
On the one hand I feel like there's been plenty of smaller non-AAA games to play and occupy me as a supplement to my flat screen gaming.
But I agree that Sony has done nothing to elevate this beyond the niche it's in and into the mainstream where it would be economical to create AAA games for it.
Most of these games are worth owning for most people; I own all but 2 of them in fact. So I agree with kevco33. I think you're crazy if you downplay this list quite frankly. Sony can't keep funding software if people don't buy any of it, the ball is squarely in OUR court.
Sony has spent a lot on 3rd party stuff this gen like RE.
Saving up for the headset is my first hurdle. Let alone buying games I don't want lol
People downvoting you for not having enough finances...what a world we live in, haha
@mudako
They feel affronted at the very thought that I don't plunk down 500 immediately lol I have a little over 900 games in my backlog I've been buying games instead of hardware ever since I got my PC and ps5. I just don't know if vr is really for me honestly. Every time I have a couple hundred allocated to video games it makes more sense to buy a bunch of flat games instead of vr ones
I have 9 out of these 10 games. I try to buy all the VR games I like to support the advancement of VR!
I spoke with my wallet after watching the first headset get weak support. Easy pass until Sony earns my money. Feel bad for those who parted with 500 bucks, falling for the hype that Sony was actually gonna support this thing.
I'm trying to decide if it's worth holding onto my psvr 2. I enjoy what it has currently, but it seems unlikely to get anything else. Might be better off just waiting for something with more support if that ever comes.
As a fellow psvr2 owner the question seemingly comes down to do you own a PC.
I think I'm all in I have a habit to hold onto my systems anyhow I still have my psvr1 to hell I still have my NES.
But while it's still worth something yeah you could sell it and if Sony turns the ship around you should be able to buy another one for less than you soldmit for I feel like we won't see any fix for the headset for the next 2 years rumours show that Sony has no current first party VR games in active development after they closed London studios
The whole psvr2 situation has left me feeling a little burnt on PlayStation as a whole to be honest. The first psvr felt experimental but it was supported far more than this superior headset
GT7 surprised me, because I hate racing games, but i poured 100 hours into it way too quickly.
I’m looking forward to the Metro VR game this year, and I hope that WW2 dogfighter game releases eventually.
I have most of them 😅
Waiting for a sale on Synapse and Arizona Sunshine 2.....also Metro coming this year looks great.
Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) today announced that the multiplatform title Resident Evil 4 has sold over 7 million units worldwide approximately one year after its release.
Resident Evil 5 launched 15 years ago today - and it continues to stand as a stepping stone from the good to the bad.
One of my favourites because of the co-op. Then Resi 6 arrived and the series nosedived further.
I enjoyed the game co-oping with a friend I know the game in solo the AI can be an idiot but RE5 is way better then RE6. I played RE6 with a friend if it wasn't cheap when I got I would have avoided RE6.
5 was excellent, still play Mercs with my brother.
I would love a fully remastered RE:5, with some added, reworked content. The DLC for 5 was also excellent.
6 was awful.
I never understood why the game was misunderstood. It was a fantastic game at launch and is still fun today to play. It’s as action packed as Resident Evil 4 was, yet that’s regarded a masterpiece 🤷♂️
it was "misunderstood" because they introduced co-op into the franchise at a time when people loved to have fake rage about co-op. like, you could play the game as a solo experience, but people chose to have their bandwagon rage because it was cool at the time lol
What the hell are you talking about? Fake Rage? Bandwagon? Come on.
You can play it solo but you are forced to carry around a shitty AI partner you have to micro manage. It wasn't as fun solo.
Co-op sucked all the horror, tension and suspense from the game because having a partner covering you was like a safety net. Enemy trying to sneak up on you? No sweat the AI will just automatically lock on, alert you while they shoot first telling you where they are basically.
It was the start of Capcoms fall with the Resident Evil series where it basically become an over the top generic action game which betrayed it's own survival horror roots. Least RE4 had a good blend of both but Capcom just went the wrong way with RE5, especially going off what they were going to do during the RE4.5 beta phase before co-op was added.
At least the game was a ton of fun tho. If the game was bad, the outrage would’ve been justified. They simply pivoted for a couple of games. At this point it’s bad because it’s called Resident evil 5? But if was called something else it would’ve been good? Please.
like i said: fake baby rage and bandwagon hate. res4 wasn't really that scary, either, and was already taking the series into more of an action-oriented direction at the time. 5 was a good game that people fake-hated because of co-op that you didn't even have to play lol hence the fake rage and bandwagon hate. i mean, it obviously did well enough for capcom to go ahead and make 6 the way they did, right? if 5 was so bad, they would have changed what 6 was during development. the difference is that 6 was actually just bad.
people "hate" 5 because res4 was so good, and 5 was just unfortunate enough to be its successor. like i said, 4 wasn't scary, either, and relied more on tension than horror, but it was already more of an action game. if you don't wanna like 5 because it's not scary or whatever- that's fine, but it wasn't meant to be strictly a horror game anymore at that point anyways. the gameplay was a lot faster-paced than 4, so saying that the ai helping you by potentially shooting someone that was sneaking up behind you is a moot point. there were more enemies that were more aggressive, along with newer threats.
5 isn't as good as 4, but it's not a bad game by any stretch.
What? I always thought RE5 had fake controversy because it was set in South Africa and you shot a bunch of black zombies. I live in South Africa and thought the game was absolutely awesome, played the whole thing co-op with my brother.
@Foxtrot I think you're confusing the garbage Dead Space 3 with Resident Evil 5. Resident Evil 4 was already a hyper action game and had zero fear factor other than the grotesque appearance of some enemies.
If RE6 takes the road of RE5, then it's becoming like the new James Bond movies. They're good games, but they're not RE games anymore, despite the name and characters.
It's obvious it's the the "pressurised devolution" but I don't think the western audience has high expectations, they just want a good horror game like Dead Space or like the old Resident Evil games.
The problem is that Capcom are greedy and love money, they know that COD sells a ton so they're trying to make RE appeal to that fanbase, bring in a new audience so they can have a bigger audience overall...but the problem is all they are doing is p*ssing off their old fanbase and pushing them out. At the end, maybe after RE6 they'll probably have a completely new audience while only a small percentage of the loyal RE fanbase will still be there.
You get a lot of people, usualy the ones who like RE5, say "Oh you need to move on", "Action is the future of RE" or "RE5 sold a ton and it was pure action"......no we don't, no it's not and the only reason RE5 sold a ton was because on peoples expectations after RE4 and because of the brand name.
What bugs me more about Capcom is even after the complaints of RE5
Co-op
Terriable AI
No solo levels
Enemies can hold guns
Cover
No Horror
Action, action and more action
A chapter select
No merchent
Lack of Puzzles
A new character "Sheva" when they were going to use Barry or even rework the story to feature Jill from the start. Hell even after you fight Jill and save her you would think instead of telling Chris and Sheva to finish Wesker and stop him Sheva and Jill would switch and she would go with you, why would they make it so Sheva finished Wesker off. They should of left Weskers death untill they had a game where the old STARS memebers would be in the same game.
After reading the Relyonhorror "RE 4.5" article it's clear Capcoms idea for a bigger audience and the added co-op, rewokring most of the already great game they had is what killed RE5 and ruined the direction of the RE franchise
All those bad points about RE5 I've listed above dosen't seem to be adressed in RE6 by the trailer, it looks like they've built onto them instead. I mean three characters now, more co-op, each character has a partner, new pointless characters yet no Barry, Claire or Rebbeca, Zombies.....Oh wait they can hold guns deafting the whole point of why we wanted Zombies back basicaly making them NOT Zombies. It's pretty obvious that Capcom havent listen to their core fanbase with RE6 and why RE5 was a crap RE title.
<sigh>
Want to know the worst part, people will still buy RE6 day 1, complain about the action direction after they've completed the game and Capcom won't care because you've already given them a "happy sale".
Capcom just being sellouts is all.
i wonder if anyone on Capcom still has a pair of balls. i wonder
it makes sense that its more action oriented. doesnt mean the atmosphere needs to be lost but lets face it.
if chris, jill, claire etc were still scared of zombies it would be dumb. They are professional Zombie killers, they know how to quickly and effectively take zombies and monsters out.
how can you make anything horror if your characters cant get scared?
only way for RE to be scary again is to ditch the whole cast and start over.
prob with that is everyone loves all the characters like i do so that would do way more damage.
im fine with the way its going, i loved all RE games but im glad the game has better combat mechanics and isnt just a puzzle game with a zombie theme anymore like they used to be.
just bring the atmosphere and hopelessness back capcom and you will make everyone happy.
