With PCVR compatibility for the PSVR2 becoming so popular and the headset being so well received by PCVR gamers, there is always the possibility that Sony will just put out a firmware update to open up the whole feature set for pcvr developers and moders?
@@rodriguezkev I am sure the price cut is imminent, but PCVR enthusiasts are really looking at the PSVR2 as a really good value high performance PCVR headset with OLED displays and displayport technology even at its current retail price, I paid £650 for a Reverb G2 in 2022 and that was a great LCD headset but the PSVR2 just outclasses it in every way but for the audio solution for £529, and to think it was on special offer for £349 last week, its just amazing value for money even at its full retail price.
I think I got into VR quite early when I bought the PSVR1 for my PS4, which introduced me to a whole new dimension of gaming. The first time I put it on, I knew that VR gaming had hooked me and wouldn’t let go. After that, I went through headsets like the Rift S, Quest 2, and currently, I have a PSVR2 and Quest 3 at home. Last year, I sold my gaming PC with an RTX 3080, and I somewhat regret it, but since I’m semi-professionally involved in creative work, my current Mac suits me much better. Anyway, with the PC adapter for the PSVR2 and the fact that I’m all about the OLED gang in VR (the immersion is on a whole different level compared to LCD), I’m now just waiting for the announcement of the RTX 5080 to build a new PC. I’m planning on doing that next year. I’ve been following you for a while now, and I find you incredibly likable. I hope that in time, you’ll gain many more subscribers because you create quality content, and I’m glad I can share my passion for VR gaming with others in this way. Thanks a lot for the video! 🔥
We need like 1 more year so a (hybrid wired/wireless) pcvr headset with pancake lenses, eye tracking, inside-out tracking, and bright mOLED displays can drop along with the 5080/90 then PCVR can really cook. Maybe Valve can come though.
Love how friggin fast you pump out the content. Amazing channel. When i build my pc later this year imma hook up my psvr2 i havent used for a year for sure! Thanks for the info bro, go on steady and i hope your channel will grow😁
The reason I am not PC gamer anymore for a long time now is the setup stuff and all the problems you have to deal with with a lot of games. So I might give it a go (as I have a quite powerful PC) but I feel uncomfortable because using the Quest 2 and later the Quest 3 with PC games was sometimes a nightmare. Especially with the controls. I gave up on some PC VR games completely. Configuring the controls in Steam is just a mess.
I was a PC gamer for a good part of 20+ years but once I got my ps4-ps5, I mostly left PC. I will be getting a brand new PC now because Psvr2 has gotten me fully into VR. But you are right, PC is just too much tinkering and issues. While consoles is just gaming.
@@TheVRResistance lol y'all are just lazy, I've spent maybe an hour of my life in total with "tinkering", aka just making sure my settings are correct. Geforce experience does most of that for me anyways. This is why they get away with $600 consoles that only play their own games, because people are too lazy
@@deluge6479pc gaming is much easier than it used to be but it still does have issues. You'll probably see this more as the games your playing get older and hardware changes. Things just don't work from time to time and needs you to jump through hoops and look online to help solve problems. It just comes with the territory of pc gaming.
Maybe I'm just lucky (also most people I know) but hearing "PC gaming involves too much tinkering" hits me the exact same way as hearing elderly people say their smartphone "sucks" or is "too complicated" because "Too much stuff come up on the screen" while I sit watching them hold it all wrong, like a credit or business card (touching all over the TOUCH SCREEN) while it's unlocked as they complain how "It's always doing stuff I never told the Siiri to do!" Normal PC gaming is damn near as reliable as console gaming these days imo, VR being a newer medium is where the problems start popping up... I just came back to PC gaming after 10+ years and I almost can't believe how accessible it is these days. I built my rig ~3 years ago and I can only remember one single time when a game (F.E.A.R. 1) didn't just work right off the bat. After the initial build then setup (drivers, Windows updates, settings, etc.) everything has been FLAWLESS, and I'm even running a setup that I would have called "bleeding edge", "elite", or "super user" ten years ago- 1440p main monitor w/ VRR (G-Sync) normally @120+ Hz and a second monitor in portrait with multiple browser tabs, hardware monitoring, and Discord all running perfectly together. So far every device I've plugged in (M&KB, mic, headphones, DAC, AMP, gamepads, etc) have been plug and play, excluding VR stuff. I'm legit getting a console-like experience, but with the many extras PC gaming offers. I also built a rig for my cousin (the same cousin who was afraid to use HDMI on his laptop) and he's been relatively trouble free too... I'm thrilled with PC gaming at the moment, but I understand some people would rather just get a console, pay the monthly subscription for online, agree to the terms, and accept being locked into a walled garden with less features if it means thinking about what they're doing slightly less. Time + features = money, and it depends on how much your time plus the features you're getting are worth to you personally.
Given the connectivity problems, having BT in the PC adapter would have been a connectivity nightmare as many users are having to buy extenders to avoid EM interference. Having the BT separate was the right call for many reasons, including not requiring Sony to manage drivers. Ideally, the controllers would have connected to the headset not the PC/console. Yes, re: the display port cable omission. 100%
So if someone sold a used PSVR2 for ~300€, and then bought the adapter for your PC, would you say it's definetely worth it? (The fact that besides Bluetooth you don't need to set up any extra equipment, like the lighthouses for Vive, Index etc. is also appealing to say the least.)
I’m new to vr and would like to upgrade to the ps5 with vr. I also want to explore pc vr. The only problem I have is that I don’t have the budget to buy a second pc with the required specs. I can just afford updating my current pc with a 4090 and i9 and the ps5 and psvr. Is there a way to leave my updated pc in another room in my house, and still connect to it from another room? I am disabled and I have to get out of my wheelchair several times a day and lay on my side in bed. When I am in bed, I get bored and I want to play my ps4 (ps5 when I upgrade), then I switch back to my wheelchair and go back to my desktop for work. Moving my desktop. Isn’t an option as my desk is where I have everything setup to work that I need to accommodate my disability. Is this possible with a long display port cable? And a Wi-Fi keyboard and mouse? This adapter seems like a great option to use with my pc and ps5.
Im having a simple problem, how do I press the pause button (or menu button) in PSVR2 on PCVR games like HL Alyx? The start button of the PSVR2 does nothing, only centralize the view.
I’ve been running my valve index with an i5-6600 / GTX 1080ti Extreme and I never had problems running at medium or low settings with sims like Automobilista2 and Dirt Rally 2. I tried toe use my PSVR2 with the adapter and display poet 1.4 cable and I continue to get error 109 saying my graphics card is not compliant. I’ve even used my Quest 3 with this system. I don’t get it. I guess it’s time for a system upgrade.
Honestly it is good for what it is, I did not expect the screens to be this bright and colorful, it almost feels like everything is way dimmer on purpose on PS5. But jesus the headset is soo high res and performance on just about everything (except ofc HLA) sucks, even when I lower the res to its lowest via the SteamVR options. Big demanding mods are definitely a big no on this headset lol I do just wish switching between PC and PS5 for the controllers was easier ngl, if Sony sold controllers separately for not a whole lot it would be something But overall it is good, I'm glad it's here now, it's nice to have a very bright and colorful OLED native PCVR headset with such a high FOV, saying my goodbyes to the Odyssey+...
I got the first ACER VR headset, quest 2, 3 and the psvr with the adapter. I'm super in love with the psvr for the colors. I can step off the clarity and the wireless connection of the quest 3 juste for the awesomes colors of the psvr2. few loss of the controlers during a 3 hours tests but stay anecdotic. (BT 5.3 intel) Very satisfied !! Can't wait a pancake mod for this headset !!
Does the UEVR injector work with this on AMD cards?? Because i had no luck. Tried a couple of games from which i know dat work well with the injector. But it keeps closing the game and Steam after a few seconds.I get a glimpse that indeed it works and then it's gone. Also the headset being stuck on 120hz on AMD is annoying. I was already saving up to buy a Nvidia card but i might have to speed that up.
hi Guys, hi Jammy, Sorry I hope you don'T mind if i have a technical question. With the same setup (PSVR2, pc adapter, steam vr), i have an issue which maybe you faced as well. In Steam VR home, and in ANY games, when i moving my head left and right, the objects and the whole surrounding starts moving a little, like waving to the same direction. For example in Steam VR home, the floor waves when i am moving my head left-right. same in Elite dangerous. In Hangar, the ship also waves with the HDM. Any thoughts? I am going crazy now. tried many settings in SteamVR and reinstalled steam as well. 'cause Steam controls the whole PSVR2, this happens with every single game. Thanks for your time and answer. Cheers, Greg
Having issues with mine. Just realized I mistakenly ordered a Display Port cable 1.2, not 1.4. Not sure how detrimental that is, but I'm getting a new cable, new Bluetooth adapter. And usb extension cable, so hopefully soon I'll be up and running
I picked up a PSVR2 for AU$450 or about £232.21 on ebay and plan to use it on PC, I'm just still waiting for my adapter to arrive as it sold out basically everywhere day 1 here in Australia. I live in a rural location too, so online was basically my only option.
I'm an AMD user too and a bit confused about why it needed to be locked to 120hz? Has anyone got any insight into why this might be as I'd love to be able to get some performance back with a lower refresh rate
I think a 4080 for your gpu would be great. Definitely, NEVER buy any intel cpu with the recent news. Be sure your power supply is powerful enough, and turn off your power supply whenever you do anything to the pc.
Remember, you will need a usb drive with the operating system of your choice (Opensuse, Linux Mint, Arch, Gentoo, Windows [you probably need windows, it's terrible, and has ads and stuff, but they have the monopoly on gaming] )
I got my adaptor, and after a little fiddling and needing to reinstall Steam VR and the PS App, everything was connected fine only for me to realise that my now aging video card didn't support DSC, and I couldn't use it (to be fair, I suspected I might have issues, but wanted to get the adaptor while they were still around)...so, that was my final push to finally moving on and I just spent...money...on a 4090-based monster PC. Had to happen eventually.
Look up a German guy called Mo-fun-vr. Put CC on and translate to English. He has on running off his laptop with a 2080m via thunderbolt port and a adapter.
Will the pcvr adapter reduce the potential profit for devs on ps5, and therefore reduce the number of releases there if there is a release window difference? Are you likely to buy a native vr game after playing mods on pc?
People buying the vr2 now are most likely not on ps5 to begin with. If anything it might eb easier to port to psvr if it finds enough users on pc. As for the amount of games in ps5 the writing is in the wall.
@@kenb.1096 Doubt it being any easier than writing for a meta or vive headset on pc, with so many features stripped back for the ps5. There's still the extra hurdles sony puts in place before publishing. Even so there are over 240 games on the system in less than 18 months. This also doesnt answer my original questions.
@@Gamecat_Photonutter why would it decrease profit then ? my take was that it wont make a difference since im sure pc psvr2 and ps5 pcvr2 consumers arent overlapping that much and steam or psstore its still 30 percent cut so i dont think its changing how much money theyll make. And im sure this isnt accelerating the decline of psvr2 game releases on ps5 more, than the current state of releases. i just dont think this whole thing will change the overall trajectory of psvr2. only a permanent pricedrop and firstparty support will
@@kenb.1096 Maybe that does answer my first question, thanks for clarifying. Do you think pcvr users are replacing their meta headsets or its more of an expansion of the vr market then? Also would you think of buying a developed vr game after buying a modded version?
@@kenb.1096 30% of a larger market for the dev with less hoops for quality assurance and development time/cost. The thought of people buying software on a ps5 after the stages of mods if applied or later release windows, with possibly lower overall cost to the consumers. As most people say they wouldn't and didn't buy into the console for the odd exclusive, why would they now?
I find "setup" being a very stupid factor for deciding wether to buy a product or not. No hate on this video bur just in general. Yes it may take a product 4 hours go setup instead of 1 hour but if you are paying 100 dollars or more you should just get the best one regardless lf setup time because after its setup you now could have a better product then whar you would have bought if you were going for the easy to setup product instead right?
Display cable cost Sony $1 to make, but not having one cost users $10 to buy one. A bad move bc it simply doesn’t work out of the box. what next Sony’s gonna start releasing PS5s and PS6 with no HDMI cable?
For people that have a play station 5 and a PC, the PSVR headset might be a good option to get the headset and adaptor. For me being just a PC gamer, do not have a play station 5, and already have the Quest 3 headset, I will not go out and buy an additional PSVR headset for my PC. I feel the Quest 3 is adequate enough to do both wired and wireless VR. With the PSVR prices back up to normal high prices and availability of the adaptor is none can be found, it maybe a hard choice right now to try and get these. Who knows when Sony will drop the price of the headset again. I feel they did this to try and get a market share of the PC gaming people. It didn't fool me. If you did get a PSVR for the PC, good luck with it. Every reviewer i have watched thinks the PSVR headset is better than sliced bread. To me, it is just another VR headset. Take care.
If they included a Display Port cable, would have been useless for me, my cpu uses a USB-C Type A Port for the Display 1.4, so I see why SONY never included it as not everyone's cpu will have the standard DP 1.4 port! For my situation I need a DP 1.4 male to USB-C type-A DP 1.4 Male!
I got the valve index last year for the sole reason that the psvr2 was not compatible with a pc, now I'm feeling some real buyer's remorse and I really want the psvr2 but I can't justify buying this headset after spending 1k on the index...
The TP link recommended dongle was garbage, i had one for my laptop so used it on my PC and the tracking was awful but the onboard BT on my aorus master MB worked so much better so now it works flawlessly
I don't have a gaming PC. I just have a Lenovo think center. I think it's got the minimum requirements but people are saying no. It also doesn't have a DisplayPort adapter so I'd have to buy like a two-way one. I bought the adapter already and the DisplayPort and the dongle and half-life Alex. So I'm in the whole 120 bucks. I don't know if I should try to buy an adapter and spend another $20 and be $140 in the hole.... Cuz I'm not buying a game gaming PC just to play a few games. I could go out and buy another headset for that. Nothing really works out and my favor anymore so I'm not surprised but I was really upset that a lot of people told me I don't have enough power to play and I wasted 120 bucks. I think maybe after aliens I might just get rid of my psvr 2 at this point
Look up a German guy called Mo-fun-vr. Put CC on and translate to English. He has on running off his laptop with a 2080m via thunderbolt port and a adapter.
Yeah I just kind of lost the steam and got kind of pissed off because I can't find any help and then the two people just said basically I'm an idiot and I don't have a powerful enough PC. There's got to be a way around it. Thank you for the recommendation. I will check it out. A lot of these RUclipsrs don't help other people out and a lot of the main RUclipsrs don't take time to answer people for the most part cuz they're busy making more content but I appreciate it. I can't be the only one experiencing this, but it feels like it. @@FurBurger151
I had to go back to my index. The psvr2 keeps crashing my pc and giving me steam errors I’ve never seen before. It works sometimes. It’s a 1 out of 10 for me until sony fixes the issue. I’ve tried everything and I mean everything.
What I find aggravating, the Sony adaptor is sold out. Unless you buy on eBay then I will be paying $120 versus the $60 msrp. The actual VR device is also on eBay for $350 on average so I'm looking at over $450 or so. Or love my Quest 3...I will likely buy the whole set then refer to videos like yours
yep! I’ve tried Q3, pro (but only twice), Q2 and Apple Vision pro. As I say in the review - if you prefer that wide sweetspot and wireless nature then get a quest! for me though, I love OLED due to its colours
Two things ... 1) how does the PSVR2 compare to the Meta Quest 3 and 2) will Sony now allow their exclusive games (such as Resident Evil 4 Remake, and Resident Evil 7 and 8 ) come to the PC?
Sony exclusives won't come to PC. Flat games barely sell, they have 0 profit incentive to port VR games when they actually need to make more exclusives on it. They have to worry about that.
Sort your sound out! Intro blares out and then can't hear your own commentrary after having to turn it down because of your intro volume. Really don't understand why RUclipsrs can't get the balance right.
Do you own a Quest 3? You’re talking about comparison with a Quest but I’m unsure you have one. Nothing in your channel suggest you own a Quest 3. And your comparison is so paper thin.. All I heard was a lot buzz words that Quest haters who dont own a quest always mention. Compression. There’s a reason why a lot of quest3 owners dont care about that anymore. You also never even mentioned the lens or some of the other things. Making this a clearly bias comparison.
I have heavily used Q3, Own Q2. love both headsets! I tell people to buy a quest for its benefits in this video. all of my 2022 to mid 2023 PCVR videos are filmed on quest. i’ve also used Apple vision pro and Quest Pro (but only once each!) However, this is a review of PSVR2, with some light comparisons to quest. If you want a full comparison this isn’t the video for ya.
@@Jammyhero If your gonna do a comparison even small do it properly. Compression for starters isn't a big deal on the Q3 due to Virtual desktop 200 bitrate Av1 and 500 bitrate H.264+. And on wired link 960 bitrate as well. I would say the biggest difference two devices for PCVR purpose it really came down to this. If its something really quick and not a full comparison. PSVR2= Wired + better colors (OLED) Quest 3 = Wired/wireless + better clarity (Pancake Lens).
With PCVR compatibility for the PSVR2 becoming so popular and the headset being so well received by PCVR gamers, there is always the possibility that Sony will just put out a firmware update to open up the whole feature set for pcvr developers and moders?
I believe so, but idk as they might still be trying to push the console.
@@TheVRResistance They'll have to give a permanent price cut for that, which I really hope they do.
@@rodriguezkev They will once the PRO launches.
@@TheVRResistance The prob is the Pro will in itself be a Niche product.

For example in Steam VR home, the floor waves when i am moving my head left-right.
same in Elite dangerous. In Hangar, the ship also waves with the HDM.
Any thoughts?
I am going crazy now. tried many settings in SteamVR and reinstalled steam as well.
'cause Steam controls the whole PSVR2, this happens with every single game.
Thanks for your time and answer.
Cheers,
Greg
I'll get the adapter at some point (want a new gfx card) but my psvr backlog is still pretty big.
Having issues with mine. Just realized I mistakenly ordered a Display Port cable 1.2, not 1.4. Not sure how detrimental that is, but I'm getting a new cable, new Bluetooth adapter. And usb extension cable, so hopefully soon I'll be up and running
pretty detrimental, it absolutely needs 1.4
@@carpetfluff35 gonna grab a new cable tonight. See if I can get it all working
Can you play beatsaber? I'm having some weird problems with it
I picked up a PSVR2 for AU$450 or about £232.21 on ebay and plan to use it on PC, I'm just still waiting for my adapter to arrive as it sold out basically everywhere day 1 here in Australia. I live in a rural location too, so online was basically my only option.
I'm an AMD user too and a bit confused about why it needed to be locked to 120hz? Has anyone got any insight into why this might be as I'd love to be able to get some performance back with a lower refresh rate
I read there is a new update for the PS app that now supports changing modes for AMD.
Great video!
I have the headset already I need to get a pc. I’m looking for a complete build ready to play. I’m a Mac owner no nothing about PC. Any suggestions 😊
I think a 4080 for your gpu would be great. Definitely, NEVER buy any intel cpu with the recent news. Be sure your power supply is powerful enough, and turn off your power supply whenever you do anything to the pc.
Feel free to get a pre-built. It saves a lot of hassle, but it is a bit more expensive.
Never get Alienware, and don't buy a gaming laptop. They're garbage for the price.
Remember, you will need a usb drive with the operating system of your choice (Opensuse, Linux Mint, Arch, Gentoo, Windows [you probably need windows, it's terrible, and has ads and stuff, but they have the monopoly on gaming] )
Gaming works perfectly on everything I listed, but VR is pretty much windows only as far as I know.
It's great for PCVR in general and the future thereof. I won't be getting one, as more than with my Quest 3, and still have my old G2 as a backup.
been building a pc recently and the psvr2 basically being a cheaper index with oled screens was kinda a plus
Don’t all modern pc have Bluetooth?
I got my adaptor, and after a little fiddling and needing to reinstall Steam VR and the PS App, everything was connected fine only for me to realise that my now aging video card didn't support DSC, and I couldn't use it (to be fair, I suspected I might have issues, but wanted to get the adaptor while they were still around)...so, that was my final push to finally moving on and I just spent...money...on a 4090-based monster PC. Had to happen eventually.
That is definitely money😂.
You ought to get some great VR out of that thing.
Great video thank you!
Will it work with a gaming laptop ?
Look up a German guy called Mo-fun-vr. Put CC on and translate to English. He has on running off his laptop with a 2080m via thunderbolt port and a adapter.

Will the pcvr adapter reduce the potential profit for devs on ps5, and therefore reduce the number of releases there if there is a release window difference? Are you likely to buy a native vr game after playing mods on pc?
People buying the vr2 now are most likely not on ps5 to begin with. If anything it might eb easier to port to psvr if it finds enough users on pc. As for the amount of games in ps5 the writing is in the wall.
@@kenb.1096 Doubt it being any easier than writing for a meta or vive headset on pc, with so many features stripped back for the ps5. There's still the extra hurdles sony puts in place before publishing. Even so there are over 240 games on the system in less than 18 months. This also doesnt answer my original questions.
@@Gamecat_Photonutter why would it decrease profit then ? my take was that it wont make a difference since im sure pc psvr2 and ps5 pcvr2 consumers arent overlapping that much and steam or psstore its still 30 percent cut so i dont think its changing how much money theyll make. And im sure this isnt accelerating the decline of psvr2 game releases on ps5 more, than the current state of releases. i just dont think this whole thing will change the overall trajectory of psvr2. only a permanent pricedrop and firstparty support will
@@kenb.1096 Maybe that does answer my first question, thanks for clarifying. Do you think pcvr users are replacing their meta headsets or its more of an expansion of the vr market then? Also would you think of buying a developed vr game after buying a modded version?
@@kenb.1096 30% of a larger market for the dev with less hoops for quality assurance and development time/cost. The thought of people buying software on a ps5 after the stages of mods if applied or later release windows, with possibly lower overall cost to the consumers. As most people say they wouldn't and didn't buy into the console for the odd exclusive, why would they now?
I find "setup" being a very stupid factor for deciding wether to buy a product or not. No hate on this video bur just in general. Yes it may take a product 4 hours go setup instead of 1 hour but if you are paying 100 dollars or more you should just get the best one regardless lf setup time because after its setup you now could have a better product then whar you would have bought if you were going for the easy to setup product instead right?
Tbh if Sony added display cable they would have put price up to cover that, which isn't always going to be needed for people who own 1 already
Display cable cost Sony $1 to make, but not having one cost users $10 to buy one. A bad move bc it simply doesn’t work out of the box. what next Sony’s gonna start releasing PS5s and PS6 with no HDMI cable?
Display port 1.4 or 2.1 ?
I get micro stutters in Alyx was wondering if it's the display port cable
@paulbellino5330 1.4 for me!
@@Jammyhero thanks
@@paulbellino5330 Try Turn motion smoothing off.
1.4 is what is required for this headset.
I want to buy the adaptor, but it's all sold out at the moment. At least US based everywhere, has been sense launch.
If the eye tracking was still available then this would be a buy. But as it is, the Quest 3 is just far better even at PCVR.
For people that have a play station 5 and a PC, the PSVR headset might be a good option to get the headset and adaptor. For me being just a PC gamer, do not have a play station 5, and already have the Quest 3 headset, I will not go out and buy an additional PSVR headset for my PC. I feel the Quest 3 is adequate enough to do both wired and wireless VR.
With the PSVR prices back up to normal high prices and availability of the adaptor is none can be found, it maybe a hard choice right now to try and get these.
Who knows when Sony will drop the price of the headset again. I feel they did this to try and get a market share of the PC gaming people. It didn't fool me. If you did get a PSVR for the PC, good luck with it. Every reviewer i have watched thinks the PSVR headset is better than sliced bread. To me, it is just another VR headset.
Take care.
If they included a Display Port cable, would have been useless for me, my cpu uses a USB-C Type A Port for the Display 1.4, so I see why SONY never included it as not everyone's cpu will have the standard DP 1.4 port! For my situation I need a DP 1.4 male to USB-C type-A DP 1.4 Male!
I got the valve index last year for the sole reason that the psvr2 was not compatible with a pc, now I'm feeling some real buyer's remorse and I really want the psvr2 but I can't justify buying this headset after spending 1k on the index...
If you can find it for sale.
The TP link recommended dongle was garbage, i had one for my laptop so used it on my PC and the tracking was awful but the onboard BT on my aorus master MB worked so much better so now it works flawlessly
The dongle needs to be updated with the latest driver from TP Link website and ideally used with a USB extender. Then it works fine.
@@volv Even with the updated driver it was still garbage. the 5.2 BT on my MB works perfectly
I don't have a gaming PC. I just have a Lenovo think center. I think it's got the minimum requirements but people are saying no. It also doesn't have a DisplayPort adapter so I'd have to buy like a two-way one. I bought the adapter already and the DisplayPort and the dongle and half-life Alex. So I'm in the whole 120 bucks. I don't know if I should try to buy an adapter and spend another $20 and be $140 in the hole.... Cuz I'm not buying a game gaming PC just to play a few games. I could go out and buy another headset for that. Nothing really works out and my favor anymore so I'm not surprised but I was really upset that a lot of people told me I don't have enough power to play and I wasted 120 bucks. I think maybe after aliens I might just get rid of my psvr 2 at this point
Look up a German guy called Mo-fun-vr. Put CC on and translate to English. He has on running off his laptop with a 2080m via thunderbolt port and a adapter.
Yeah I just kind of lost the steam and got kind of pissed off because I can't find any help and then the two people just said basically I'm an idiot and I don't have a powerful enough PC. There's got to be a way around it. Thank you for the recommendation. I will check it out. A lot of these RUclipsrs don't help other people out and a lot of the main RUclipsrs don't take time to answer people for the most part cuz they're busy making more content but I appreciate it. I can't be the only one experiencing this, but it feels like it. @@FurBurger151
I see you, Elite Dangerous. 😉 Come on. Give me a clue, Jammy. A taster. Is it THE GREATEST?
today’s video may interest ya :)
@@Jammyhero 👊❤️
I had to go back to my index. The psvr2 keeps crashing my pc and giving me steam errors I’ve never seen before. It works sometimes. It’s a 1 out of 10 for me until sony fixes the issue. I’ve tried everything and I mean everything.
Not should you buy... but CAN you buy 😅
What I find aggravating, the Sony adaptor is sold out. Unless you buy on eBay then I will be paying $120 versus the $60 msrp. The actual VR device is also on eBay for $350 on average so I'm looking at over $450 or so. Or love my Quest 3...I will likely buy the whole set then refer to videos like yours
lol this looks so paid up review. Did you even try a Quest 3 or a Quest Pro ever
Exactly what i think, the sweet spot IS so weak vs quest 3...
yep! I’ve tried Q3, pro (but only twice), Q2 and Apple Vision pro. As I say in the review - if you prefer that wide sweetspot and wireless nature then get a quest! for me though, I love OLED due to its colours
You're PC should have Bluetooth on the motherboard if not your next one will . $410 to be playing pcvr with OLED displays no one should complain tbh
Two things ... 1) how does the PSVR2 compare to the Meta Quest 3
and 2) will Sony now allow their exclusive games (such as Resident Evil 4 Remake, and Resident Evil 7 and 8 ) come to the PC?
Sony exclusives won't come to PC. Flat games barely sell, they have 0 profit incentive to port VR games when they actually need to make more exclusives on it. They have to worry about that.
The process has been a headache for me. Plug and play it is not
I have one and would so NO dont bother with PC, get a quest.
quest3完胜
You are wrong! Got them both and PsVR2 wins. The Oled lenses is the so good..
Sort your sound out! Intro blares out and then can't hear your own commentrary after having to turn it down because of your intro volume. Really don't understand why RUclipsrs can't get the balance right.
Do you own a Quest 3? You’re talking about comparison with a Quest but I’m unsure you have one. Nothing in your channel suggest you own a Quest 3. And your comparison is so paper thin.. All I heard was a lot buzz words that Quest haters who dont own a quest always mention. Compression. There’s a reason why a lot of quest3 owners dont care about that anymore. You also never even mentioned the lens or some of the other things. Making this a clearly bias comparison.
I have heavily used Q3, Own Q2. love both headsets! I tell people to buy a quest for its benefits in this video.
all of my 2022 to mid 2023 PCVR videos are filmed on quest. i’ve also used Apple vision pro and Quest Pro (but only once each!)
However, this is a review of PSVR2, with some light comparisons to quest.
If you want a full comparison this isn’t the video for ya.
@@Jammyhero If your gonna do a comparison even small do it properly. Compression for starters isn't a big deal on the Q3 due to Virtual desktop 200 bitrate Av1 and 500 bitrate H.264+. And on wired link 960 bitrate as well. I would say the biggest difference two devices for PCVR purpose it really came down to this. If its something really quick and not a full comparison.
PSVR2= Wired + better colors (OLED)
Quest 3 = Wired/wireless + better clarity (Pancake Lens).
Yo e tenido suerte ningún problema mi Bluetooth de mi placa va perfecto todo se configuro a la primera y de momento sin fallos
Final verdict lmao... Bit early for that => there has been an update already adressing 'smearing' and the 90hz option for AMD gpu's
