It's been two years since PlayStation VR 2 arrived. But can PSVR 2 mount a comeback in 2025 and prove the critics wrong?
Comeback? From being a successful VR platform?
Prove critics wrong? When in history have critics been right? Where is the vast collection of critics' writing being right?
Maybe this journo should get a strong grip on reality first.
as an owner, it's fine for what it is.. But I don't know if I would call it a success. Sony themselves pulled the plug on the device like a year after launch. One of their premier titles, Firewall Ultra, had the dev shut down a mere 3 months post launch of their game. They released a PC adapter and basically wiped their hands clean and have no first party content in development for it. Relying solely on 3rd party at this point.
That's a funny definition of successful.
As a Quest owner and an avid PSVR1 owner & mega fan, I haven't seen any must have exclusives that I can't play on Steam (or Meta store *cringe*) outside of the launch titles.
Man, i still want it so bad for GT7 plus my g29 setup, but I can't justify the price considering what's already available to me! I expected a ton of Playstation exclusives to make me jump at buying a headset.
@OtterX - I also own a Q3 and can appreciate the convenience of the pick up and play. Sure it won't look as good as the PSVR2, but the Q3 is no slouch, and in VR, your brain can be tricked by the most primitive of graphics anyways (see Job Simulator, Budget Cuts, etc).
GT7 is really good in VR, and benefits even more from a wheel and pedal setup (although I couldn't recommend unless you are an avid racer). I'm a huge horror game fan, so I've been spoiled with Capcom's love of VR for their Resident Evil games at least.
Also a owner and I like it but I don't love it and it definitely isn't getting the first party love that I hoped for
I've loved re7/4, gt7 and a few others but a small selection can only keep you engaged for so long I'm not interested in indies and bigger budget games or hybrid games are few and far between.
Imagine buying a ps5 and only have like 10 games that's life for a psvr2 owner
I'm glad it now has PC support but they really should have done more to secure games on PS
Man, reading something this delusional is both funny and disturbing at the same time. You just called the psvr2 successfull 😂
The only thing on here to laugh about are people like you who don't know what they're talking about.
In no way shape or form is psvr2 successful. Not one metric to be twisted by fanboy logic. Downvotes all you want, but you're being corporate boot lickers for a failed device.
Biggest missed opportunity was to adapt VR1 games to run on VR2. I mean Sony talked up how the 5 could run 4 games better... yet they completely omit how VR2 could run VR1 games better as well. They could patch the controllers and head tracking in place of the use of the camera and move.
they should have taken all the exclusive PSVR content and made VR2 versions of them, for sure.
Games like Farpoint, Blood & Truth and others would have benefitted from the better controls and tracking that VR2 provides.
This!!! I couldn’t believe that it wasn’t going to play the older games. Not only that but then they charged you for PSVR 2 versions of those games like Rez…
Don’t get me wrong, I think the headset is awesome. RE8 and RE4 in VR are seriously next level experiences, but the decisions with this thing feel very… Jim Ryan, for lack of a better word.
This is the main reason why I didn't get one.
I have a bunch of PSVR1 games and was excited for the less cumbersome to setup PSVR2. Well that excitement obviously died after finding out that it wasn't backwards compatible. For a device that has a lackluster library it's a pretty stupid decision not to have backwards compatibility.
I can't speak for the PlayStation but it's a solid PC VR headset, for the price you'll have a hard time to find better. The OLED screen is the big selling point for PC.
I've heard that despite it being OLED it doesn't have typical OLED response times and there is some ghosting/pixel persistence issues. Have you experienced that?
No, unless you have DLSS on. Reading about it, it looks like the ghosting is caused by some games running at 2 x 60 on the PS5 but I think it's been fixed.
it's just a shame that a bunch of features are not currently present to be used with PCVR like with the PSVR2. Maybe devs can utilize those features moving forward.
Nah, it will takes years for Sony to restart its VR game production, it has less exclusives than meta and meta being wireless is a lot more comfortable
Fast Travel Games and Moonhood Studios have confirmed a May launch date for the VR-compatible claymation adventure The Midnight Walk.
Nice, didn't realize this is VR compatible.
Having said that, Ghost Giant never made it to Japan, so hopd3 this gets a wide release.
Discover the stunning, handcrafted world of The Midnight Walk, a dark fantasy adventure arriving on PS5 and PS VR2 on May 8, 2025. Become The Burnt One, befriend a lost lantern creature named Potboy, and use his flame to light your way through a conflicting world of wonder and horror, made entirely from real-life clay. Use stealth, cunning and a few tricks up your sleeve to survive and outsmart the many monsters eager to devour your little friend’s flame and experience five tales of fire and darkness, featuring an incredible cast of odd characters.
I liked the music and art style when they showed it last time ... telling you, that little flame character might make the player emotional later in the game.
