Myst sequel Riven is getting a remake for flatscreen and VR platforms in 2024, with Cyan Worlds rebuilding the game in Unreal Engine 5.
The next Meta Quest VR headset, the Meta Quest 3S, will be priced at $299.99, the same price as when the Meta Quest 2 released four years ago
Sony shouldn't even be thinking about another VR headset until they can properly support one.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem likely that Sony can/will do that. They're very eager to abandon anything that doesn't do gangbusters. PSP was legendary, and Vita, while really good, didn't take off and it became a legacy platform.
The biggest problem though is they would really need to commit to it stubbornly the way Meta commits to Quest. I don't know if that's feasible anymore given the high risk to develop these things.
Why is it that when Sony release a headset they are criticised for not supporting it (I assume you mean not making games for it), why isn’t the same being said about meta or Samsung etc, they rely on 3rd parties to create the games so it’s unfair to demand 1st party games from Sony and not anyone else. Sony make hardware they will continue to do so as long as there is money to make from it.
@Bigfish Meta does support their headset with regular updates, adding features, etc. There is also a major difference between those headsets and the PSVR2. Those headsets were built on an open PC platform, while PSVR2 was made for a walled-off console garden, which ultimately means Sony would be solely responsible for keeping it alive.

Meta banks a lot on their VR headset library. Yes, the majority of titles aren't first-party, but they are the ones financing those games and the ports they receive. Not to mention the heavy subsidies on their devices. That is why so many support them even if they hate Facebook.
As for Samsung or any other manufacturer, they produce PC VR hardware, which is a completely different segment. Many of these devices aren’t even targeted at gaming. The exceptions are PICO and Valve, both of which have faced criticism for not providing enough new game support for their hardware as well.
The problem with psvr2 is when they announce psvr2 games ps fans complain “where’s the flat games?” lol No one is talking about into the radius psvr2 being the best version rn or ghosts of tabor port coming later this year.
People defending Sony here don’t understand that they had a customer when the hardware was announced who did not trust Sony to support by time it was released. Having a tech demo as the flagship game felt deeply disappointing. I loved PSVR but there was not enough software to justify the price for vr2.
Sony abandon it, so does everyone else.
And yes people also want “flat” games for their hardware. Also a problem this gen.
@Cosmic Turtle
If you were referencing me I was not defending Sony. I am simply stating reality of the platform. Even if Sony released every PSVR1 library to the psvr2 it still wouldnt move headsets.
In terms of value of the PSVR2 I honestly think is underrated. I came from pcvr and the psvr2 is miles ahead in terms of immersion tech. Obviously the software support cancels that out but it’s more of an indication of a declining/infant vr market.
Nearly 200 games supported by psvr2 and counting…
Perhaps you actually pay attention to the product rather than waiting for over fluffed articles on n4g?
I mean, Xbox has not made 1 new AAA game in over a decade….
So, do you ask them to not consider a new console until they support the current one?
Honest people who followed VR and not the hardcore fans knew the bottom had already fallen out of VR before PSVR2 even launched. I remember the last years of PSVR1, All the AAA studios were done with it and I never saw any reason to buy a $550 headset for wired higher resolution Quest ports. The two big games for PSVR2 I wasn't even interested in either, Stopped caring about Gran Turismo when it became a GaaS thing and I never really cared for Horizon Zero Dawn.
@Rude-ro - I own a PSVR2 thank you, along with a Q3 and an Index (and a Rift and PSVR before those). I'm all in on the VR train.
Out of those 200 titles you mention, how many existed on the original PSVR or PCVR? How many new and original titles did we get?
I'm thinking of this as a great move for VR adoption for the masses at that price. I just want to see VR support grow, whether it's Quest, PSVR2, Vive etc. I much prefer running my games off of Steam, but the Q2 was a great entry into that access. Now PSVR2 players have that option too. Hoping that support will continue to grow!
*Btw, check out Subside that just hit Steam VR. It is an INCREDIBLE diving game for VR. Man, I love it.
Cut down or more like a Quest 2.5 if the rumors are to be believed. It features the same SoC as the Quest 3 but has the lens and screen of the Quest 2, with a camera array in between.
The world’s gone mad. It’s a revised budget spec model priced the same price as the non budget (essentially top-spec) version of 4 years ago… and everyone lost their sht about how good a deal this is.
Is that where we’re now at as a society?
VRTechTube:
Hitman 3 has been rebuilt from the ground up in this Meta Quest 3 exclusive. We finally have some gameplay footage. So let's take a look at everything we learned from the new gameplay trailer for Hitman 3 VR: Reloaded
Ever wanted to live out your dreams of being Richard Deckard from Blade Runner and hunt down rogue synthetics in a gloomy cyberpunk city? Well Metacity Patrol promises to let you do just that. VR Tech Tube has done an extensive preview of the early access version of the game, how does it hold up?
Hope this and the first game comes to Ps5 this time around, instead being locked away on xbox.
No love for PSVR2 users?
Awesome news. Hope it comes to psvr2 at some point.
I remember showing up to my high school final exam late due to promising myself I’d beat Myst first. Simpler times.
