No Man’s Sky PSVR2 review – also better than Horizon Call Of The Mountain - Metro

GameCentral reviews the Fractal update for No Man’s Sky on PS5 and enjoys one of the best virtual reality experiences PSVR2 has to offer.

SullysCigar423d ago

It's awesome on PSVR2, so I can see how personal preferences could lead to this statement. I think it could be further refined and I've no doubt the devs will do just that, given their history.

It's something I'll dip in and out of over time for sure, with the occasional monster session. Anyone who hasn't played this game in the last 2 years needs to check it out. It's vasty expanded over an already expansive game, with loads more to do and it's good fun to play online too.

crazyCoconuts423d ago

Doesn't it look blurry to you, especially for things in the distance?

SullysCigar423d ago (Edited 423d ago )

A little in the distance, which is why I said "I think it could be further refined". These guys patch like a quilting factory, so I'm enjoying it knowing they'll continue to do so having just reinvigorated the player base with PSVR2.

EDIT @below: That's exactly the speculation, that they will add in the foveated rendering linked to eye-tracking in the next patch. That should get the clarity up closer to the TV!

crazyCoconuts423d ago

Agreed. I'm guessing they haven't utilized the foveated rendering thing yet so I'm hopeful there's processing power to improve the resolution. It would be so much better if it were sharper.

Vanfernal423d ago

It kind of looks like PSVR1.5 if that makes sense. Then visuals are definitely an improvement over PSVR 1 but comparing it to RE8 and Song in the Smoke, the other 2 games I've played it looks like there's definitely room for improvement.

crazyCoconuts423d ago

BTW - did you know there's a little fan inside that headset circulating air? I just realized that yesterday!

SullysCigar423d ago

Lol I heard about this too - pretty neat feature. That with the vent will explain why it doesn't fog up like all the other headsets I've used do. If it was cold in the house (as I like it for workout VR games), I'd have to warm the lenses with a hairdryer before I started! Nice little QOL improvement!

philm87423d ago

Weird title. No need to double down that they dislike Call of the Mountain when talking about a completely separate game.

SullysCigar423d ago

Yeah agreed. The Metro is a shitty rag of a newspaper and they always crap on Sony for some reason. Maybe the gaming editor has a problem.

UltimateOwnage422d ago

It’s excellent on PSVR2. The hardware is just great, pick up and hop into VR through a single lossless cable connection. The only minor issue I (currently) have with NMS on PSVR2 is the visuals are running lower res than normal (textures and resolution) so it looks a bit soft (has nothing to do with the displays in the HMD). Controls, colors, performance are all fantastic. Loving PSVR2 so far! I’m willing to bet Hello Games will be updating this further to optimize the experience in the near future.

Not sure it’s “better” than Horizon COTM on a technical or VR optimized level, and they are very different experiences and both very solid titles to play day 1 on the system.

Christopher30d ago

The support they've given this game only makes me more interested in their next game.

Agree, curious what they are cooking up for that one?!

If you're wanting more PSVR 2 support, you should probably buy all of these games.

Speak with your wallet!

Profchaos39d ago

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

crazyCoconuts39d ago

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.

Babadook739d ago (Edited 39d ago )

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.

phoenixwing39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

Saving up for the headset is my first hurdle. Let alone buying games I don't want lol

mudakoshaka39d ago

People downvoting you for not having enough finances...what a world we live in, haha

phoenixwing39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

@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

mudakoshaka39d ago

I have 9 out of these 10 games. I try to buy all the VR games I like to support the advancement of VR!

TheEroica38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

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.

Neonridr39d ago

I own 7 of these titles off the list, lol.

NotoriousWhiz39d ago

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.

Profchaos39d ago

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

MIDGETonSTILTS1739d ago

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.

talocaca39d ago

I have most of them 😅

Waiting for a sale on Synapse and Arizona Sunshine 2.....also Metro coming this year looks great.
