The brutal, visceral combat of GORN has arrived for PlayStation VR 2. Here are all the PSVR 2 Trophies for GORN.
It's a sad, disappointing story that could have been so much better.
Can't drop price when you'll lose money. Also to note people keep talking about wanting them to do a vita 2. In reality it'll end up the same way as this and the vita. Then the same people would B* and say the same thing.
I will care when they allow backward compatibility.. i do not want 2 headsets for my PS4 library
If sony wants psvr2 to be mainstream, then they drop the price. Obviously they won't do that and it will just end up dying like the vita.
Vita only died cause of the proprietary memory card. If it used regular SD cards shit would still be alive.
The Vita 2 will live if it plays the exact same games as the Ps4 or PS5.
I can't imagine it won't with today's technology.
Allow back compat and lower the price. Id rather take the price hit and move what ever units I have vs. Leave them on the shelves. Unless sony thinks it's only a matter of time before they move the units
If they can patch some cross Gen VR games... they can patch others as well. I'd love to use the VR2 for drive club, rush of blood, and other VR1 games
Can't drop the price? It's going to sell at the current price? Big price drop needed or it's the skip.
You can drop the price and lose money.
Lowering the piece might make more people adopt the system and having more owners means you can sell more software.
For the one thats saying dropping the price would make it sell. Dropping the price wouldnt make it fly of shelves. People already made up there minds and dont want it for own reasons same with the portal.
Not sure what this article is about because they just released a bunch of games for it…
I’ll give you one word.
FUD.
They’ve been at that since day one. They want it dead.
3rd party is anchoring it. It was sad when one of their main advertised games prior to the headset coming out lasted a whole 3 months (Firewall Ultra).
Agreed! Just some opinion piece with a click bait headline. I agree, PSVR2 is very much alive. It's clearly not the top priority i the PS lineup, but VR will only get better and IMO is not a fad like 3d tvs were15 years ago(remember those lol).
Plus, The PSVR2 is one of if not the only affordable VR headset with OLED, which will become PC compatible in August(minus some features like haptic feedback which for me, is not really a big deal)
A bunch? Are you sure about that?
And even if true, I think quality over quantity would be of better relevance here
@maniacmayhem
Yeah they did release a bunch of games recently. And if by “quality” you mean actual gameplay quality, then there is plenty of that in VR. In fact some of the best gaming experiences is on VR. But if by “quality” you mean flashy AAA, then no, not too many of those. Although there are some of that, but they are few and far between.
Nothing more annoying than articles that assume things, and articles that tell you what to think, and this one does both.
I don’t think a price drop will make a difference
We’re just not quite there with VR to make huge impacts
Everytime we do make improvements it’s so expensive that you’ll never make it mainstream
Just seems pointless
We’ve had cool stuff like Half Life Alyx for example but most people still would just prefer a more traditional experience with these games for mass appeal. I can appreciate the cool things VR does for a game like that but if it didn’t have VR and it was just a standard game as long as it’s top quality I’ll rate it high regardless.
I guess the fact that it's not mainstream doesn't take away from it being pretty awesome for the people that do enjoy it.
Re: preference on games, I'll say one thing, I can't go back to driving or flying games that aren't in VR at this point - it just feels wrong not to be able to turn your head.
Yeah I get that, I do, but I think the point here the article is talking about anyway is why Sony and others would leave it behind.
It’s cool, a great concept but if it’s not mainstream or no one can get it there so of course there’s not going to be much support for it
Why focus on something when most aren’t bothered
I’d rather they drop it for now and focus on more PS5 exclusive games
People can like it obviously but no one can get mad it’s not getting much support these days
Ignoring the ridiculous amount of money Sony would lose.
The investment for most people is too high for little pay off. Even 300 dollars would be too much for a handful of games.
Admirable for persisting but after PSVR is it any surprise?
Half baked PC release feels more like an effort to shift dead stock then anything else.
Totally the reason only 1 store had a single headset available. PS must have so much backstock they aren't selling to retailers! /s
Not enough people buying the hardware. The strategy from the get-go should have been these hybrid releases and as mentioned in the article, some form of wizardry like Praydog's UEVR mod for older Playstation titles converted into VR with very little effort once the software is sorted.
Basically a lack of vision from the corporate side.
Praydog may be wizardry but the experience isn’t there.
As a long time supporter of VR the experience of VR2 is pretty awesome.
I haven't tried PSVR 2 but on your other point, I am gonna have to disagree with you there strongly. As a PCVR user (RTX 4090 PC), playing games that weren't meant for VR even with a gamepad is way better than playing flatscreen. I guess it boils down to whether you're one of those people who believe "It's not VR without motion controllers" or not. I always remind people who take this stance of when the CV1 Oculus RIFT launched without those controllers vs HTC Vive. Regardless of the differences, CV1 players still had a great time in VR, as they did with the previous Oculus DK1 & 2. Being immersed in the game world, feeling the sense-of-scale does not require motion controllers as a prerequisite.
VR in general is pretty awesome, but you have to want to play your games like that. Many people would rather just sit on their sofa and play their games, not necessarily stand up (I know some games can be played seated)
@bunt - i haven't tried the Praydog mods as I don't have PCVR anymore, but am encouraged by what you're saying. I imagine PS might have some hurdles to apply such a thing to 3rd party games w/out their permission, but it would be encouraging for them to at least do it to some of their 1st party games. I'd probably play the Uncharted games again if I could do it in VR, even 3rd person w/ a controller...
@bunt
Yeah it's not a bad bit of software to mess around with. But as a way to play RE8 (which it was billed as) it's not up there with a full VR production.
Ummm, they’re releasing at least 4 high profile games for the headset in 2024 alone:
1) Metro VR
2) Behemoth
3) Aliens
4) War Thunder
That’s more games than SOME platforms release in an entire gen…. So how can you say Sony doesn’t care about their latest headset?
"They're" not releasing any of those, all 3rd party. Has Sony developed or published a single PSVR2 game since 2023?
In that case then Sony no longer cares about the ps5 and neither should we right? Only released helldivers 2 so far this year. What's next astrobot in September?
The thing is. The PSVR2 can absolutely survive on just 3rd party releases. Ps5 has proved is this year. Just as Xbox did for the last 10 years.
Odd, your supporting argument for proving Sony cares about PSVR2 is that they hasn't released much for PS5 either? Interesting take.
But there is a difference, we know PS5 games are coming, being worked both by Sony and their collaboration with other studios and there is a constant and consistent release of 3rd party. PSVR2, not so much.
3rd party seems to be the strategy though. And it may well have been for the best. Sony had recruited a fair bit of support. And that proves the article here wrong.
If it is superior experience to the Quest port, and comparable to the experience with a Steam headset… then I am happy.
How many games have Valved released last 10 years?
We should cry about that and stop buying games on Steam as well, right?
What's the difference? Those are more “exclusive” than anything released on a MS console even. Who cares if the exclusives are made by this studio or that studio?
All part of Days of Play
Please, try Synth Riders. It's better than Beat Saber imho, and I love Beat Saber. You literally feel like dancing.
Shaz from GL: "Where Sony is ramping down support for PSVR2, and Apple are reconsidering their future with the Vision Pro, Meta and the Quest 3 continue to shine."
I'll admit that Facebook is doing more for VR than others. But they also have blown over 50 billion dollars so far and growing in R&D, building the meta verse, buying up exclusives and underpricing their products below build price, to kill competition in the stand alone space. Sony and Valve aren't willing to go into the red at an unheard level to capture the market. We know Sony could build a stand alone device that beats Quest just by the features in PS VR 2 and the new stand alone headset they built. But the new Sony would rather build a device they can profit from day one.
But, Sony so far has profited on hardware and on software. They just don't seem willing to spend the money on marketing, selling under build price or spending millions on making in-house VR exclusives for PS VR 2. Which sucks big time. They're just letting 3rd parties and indies run the show.
Article also doesn't mention that Apple's headset is more a developers product than a mass market item. To say they are looking into making a cheaper one for the next iteration is speaking the obvious. Duh. That was always the case. Build something the public sees as quality not can't afford, then make another that the masses can afford. TVs, cars, cellphones etc all were once expensive. Now, they're cheap to buy with many options to choose from. And Apple isn't even selling VP as a VR headset. I'm well aware that Apple's true intentions is to build a device that pushes AR with VR as an option. Not build a VR device. Because they know eventually that they want to replace the cellphone with AR glasses or an AR headset. If they cared about games, they would have launched as a gaming device.
Lastly, Facebook launched Quest 3 last year. But has not mentioned how many they sold up to this point. Why is that? Besides Quest 2 selling more by being cheap, the market can't move forward until they start selling more Quest 3 headsets than 2. Maybe the new exclusive Batman and Hitman games will help. But we'll see.
Not dead, but definitely on life support from the third party devs and PC crowd who may just purchase the headset.
Although I saw someone say that the module adapter will no allow haptics and adaptive triggers to work, but I don’t know if any of that is true.
Nope. Not yet.
It’s tough to say what its future will bring. There is still decent support. It seems to have sold decently too. Sony seems absent in a direct way though.
The issues Meta have is they are Meta. I'll never buy a Meta product, Every Quest headset they release is always a case of it's not quite there from a hardware perspective and the game content is mostly from indie devs. Selling what should be a AAA experience with C tier games is a non starter.
Meta is also Billions and billions in the hole in regards to VR. If Sony were to do what Meta has done, they'd be bankrupt
Meta is losing billions on a business that theh will probably walk away from like they did the Facebook phone. Temper your expectations of your investments in Meta’s hardware.
I do wish Sony would release more for PSVR. It’s a neat product, but they don’t support it much. It may have the same fate as the Vita.
I know it’s two completely separate products as Vita was stand alone, and PSVR is a companion to PS consoles. More 1st party support would really boost it though.
They are done supporting it. They're relying on pc to do it for them. Sony even paused production because it's not selling
They paused production to get rid of inventory, doesn’t mean the headset isn’t selling, it’s just not selling as fast as Sony thought it would. But with their half assed approach to the headset and lack of first party games, it’s not surprising, saddening, but not surprising.
Meta out here buying up all the exclusives, this is the only part of the gaming market where I feel exclusives should not be a thing since the market is “still in its infancy”.
That's exactly what it means... you think people are buying a headset with min support for the price of the console? It's done man. Sadly because like the vita the tech is good and deserved better
I own PS VR 1, and it is packed with tons of games to pick from in nearly every genre you could think of. While the technology may be rudimentary compared to newer headsets, it still works, and is fun to play, which is what matters most.
Its a shame that PS VR 2 is having such a slow start, because the tech behind it is brilliant. Its currently on sale for $100 USD off, that needs to be a permanent price drop.
We need more first party games on PS VR 2, the fact that Jim Ryan shut down Sony London Studios right before he left was moronic, they should have been upgrading their hit game Blood & Truth for PS VR 2! What a stupid decision.
