PS VR 2 going from strength to strength. High quality exclusives and quality of life updates like this, will only make the headset stronger.

That eye tracking as standard makes a difference for games and for pushing for better visuals. PC should have had this as standard years ago so that high end graphics cards wouldn't be as necessary. And Quest Pro having it was worthless as most didn't own it and Quest 2 didn't have eye tracking.

I'll definitely check out the update.

I'm going to check it out this weekend. Some early feedback has been that it makes a big difference

crazyCoconuts243d ago

Played it again last night. WOW the difference is HUGE. Gorgeous now that you can see all the details.

So looking FWD to Tin heart and 7th guest too 🙂
So annoying all the hate it gets from the media who don't even care about VR in the 1st place.
It's been a belter of a 1st year imo.

jznrpg245d ago

I need to play this again on PSVR2. It has been updated a shitload since I last played.

Leeroyw244d ago

Tried it last night. Looks like a different game. The sense of scale is immense.

jwillj2k4245d ago

Not trolling, have they added a solid traditional story to this game yet? Nothing vague and fragmented.

thorstein244d ago

They just added a new storyline.

I haven't played the new update, but the narrative was always your own with some guide posts to 2 separate destinations: the Atlas Path and the Artemis Path.

jwillj2k4244d ago

I may install it again then thanks

I owe a lite to this game and the developers. It completely cured my insomnia.

Kyizen245d ago

It is insane. Went from unplayable for me. To one of the most immersice VR experiences I ever had.

Vanfernal244d ago

I have to give it another try! NMS was a huge disappointment for me in VR because it was such a visual downgrade from the regular mode. I'm glad it improved.

crazyCoconuts243d ago

There have been incremental patches that improved it quite a bit - made it OK imo.
But this one is like night and day.

yeah, we haven't heard this before :P

that being said, let's hope this time the release date finally sticks. Looking forward to playing this in VR.

From the devs regarding the last delay. 120 FPS native with high quality shadows.

"Our ambition is to create a realistic and daunting atmosphere with MADiSON VR. And we achieved this through realistic real-time lighting and shadows. These elements heavily utilise the CPU on all
platforms. To make this possible in VR, we use a technique called "Single-Pass Rendering" so that resource- heavy operations are only done once per frame. Unfortunately, our use of this previously precluded us from also using the eye-tracked dynamic foveated rendering (DFR) feature on PSVR 2, as the Unity PSVR 2 implementation had a known issue with this combination. Without DFR, it would have only been possible to release using the 60/120 (interpolation) mode, which worked adequately, however we always felt fell a little short of the quality we were striving for. As of 22nd March Unity's new SDK-now opens up DFR and by extension the possibility to hit the gohz mode. A last minute
improvement we simply can't ignore."

Unity fixing this issue is good news for PSVR2 in general.

This sounds very interesting, Superhot was a great game to take inspiration from.

evawillms1835d ago (Edited 5d ago )

It's impressive!

Babadook75d ago (Edited 5d ago )

I liked the VR version of SUPERHOT. If this ends up being as good I'l pick it up (once available) for PSVR2.
