The reason the PSVR2 isn't backwards compatible with the PSVR isn't the controllers. It has to do how tracking is done. Original PSVR used outside in tracking with the PlayStation camera and lights on the move, headset and dualshock 4 controller. The PSVR is inside outside tracking with the camera embedded in the headset and the new controllers ring being tracked by the head set.
Sony said back in early January a lot of PSVR games will have FREE PSVR2 upgrades whether it's a digital game or you own the disc, with more upgrades coming over time.
Foveated rendering is the true gamechanger for VR! We can finally get much closer to flatscreen graphics without sacrificing performance! Kayak Mirage VR is a great testament to FR as well as RE Village and HZ CotM. Vive 2 is the only other headset that has FR. It's only a matter of time when the modding community work their homebrew magic and make this PC friendly! Doubt it will need a mod chip since ps5 is x86 afterall. Also the fact that you need a cable to connect it is not a negative it will actually eliminate all latency that comes from wireless meaning locked framerates!
Cant wait! Capcom please upgrade Resident Evil 7 for PSVR2 and also SOny needs to update Blood and Truth! Those were two of the best VR games but using old tech.
I’m actually glad to hear the controllers are a bit smaller. They looked bulky in previous videos. Less chance in them bumping into each other when you’re playing
The dpad issue isn’t really a issue. The vr games utilize the psvr2’s eye tracking by making so that if you look at the item in inventory for example and press x you can select it
Seeing as Sony officially released and are supporting DualSense drivers for PC on Windows and Linux, I'm excited to see if they're going to also support drivers for SteamVR!!!
Sony are smart as they intended the PSVR 2 box to be a storage box for the headset and controllers as they mentioned it in their official unboxing video and it’s cheaper when compared to the original as the original had to be used with a camera which costs and you also had to spend extra on the move controllers but the only thing Sony didn’t do was give us a dust cloth for wiping the lenses but I’ll use my PlayStation VR dust cloth
Really curious what plans Sony has for VR Oculus really has a strangle hold on the space but doesn’t seem to be getting the development properties it needs to really take off in the mainstream.
Oculus/Meta used to put a lot of money into financing 'AAA' VR titles for PC and were pretty much alone in doing so but since the Quest became the most popular PCVR headset they have stopped doing this,perhaps because quality VR games aren't possible on weak Quest 2 hardware so the finance isn't really needed. Just let the amatuer basement dwellers produce crappy Quest games and someone will still buy it.
@@arthurthegreat6565 HalfLife:Alyx is a 20 hour game🤷♂ Then you have fliught /space/racing sims that take hundreds of hours of your time. If you've ever played VR(which is doubtful)it's likels to have been some gormless shite like Beat Sabre,right?
@Unmei mmm nah. Still having the headset on. Standing up. Moving. Yes amazing. Will still never be like sitting on a chair playing with a screen, VR will always be gimmicky compared to proper gaming
Do NOT underestimate RE8. RE7 in VR blew my mind beyond words. And GT7 and so damn many others. CoTM (low expectations there for me, maybe I’ll be surprised). You would be happier with this purchase than you can imagine if you haven’t used VR
@Unmei 110 is impressive for the pricepoint and form factor of the headset. Obviously the bigger the FOV the better, but there are very few headsets pulling off 110 right now, let alone significantly more.
Those headphones don’t look like the ones included in the original psvr. They made another updated psvr and maybe it was on that one but not on the original launch psvr
QUESTION : So you plug in the charging plugs only once … first time when you use them … you don’t need to take them out every time you play and plug them in when you want to charge ..
Well done Max you tried so hard not to be patronizing (You so wanted to be) that it was embarrassing but in the end you realized you had failed so just gave up & become patronizing. Getting my PSVR2 soon. Its going to be great.
Honestly sony really outdid themselves this console generation I’ll be picking up a psvr2 tomorrow and honestly I’m really excited to get it I’ve been waiting basically all year
Preordered the PSVR2 bundle with Horizon Dawn, and the recharging station... more expensive than the console itself. 😓 Still, looking forward to it. Want to play that Kayaking game to chill in 😅
Now allow me to say thus everyone.I know $500 price tag is hard to swallow...but you have to consider a few things first.The PSVR2 headset is by far the cheapest out there when you compare it...To achieve a proper VR gaming experience on a PC is going to cost you alot more when you factor in the Harvard upgrades and especially if you don't have desktop gaming computer to begin with your talking thousands of dollars just to finally sit and play that game you wanted to play.Most gamers out there already have a Playstation 5 and if you don't and is considering maximizing your Playstation experience it's only gonna cost you less than $1,500.Also with the new PSVR2 your getting new upgraded technology + the Playstation first party exclusives the Playstation brand is famously known for....if Resident Evil 4 Remake VR doesn't not impress you,im sure something else will.Theres never been a better time to invest with Playstation
? Ps5 is $400 or 500 and headset is $550. That isn't 1500. Also you get what you lay for. Quality costs money. A similar headset on pc would cost you amot more and an pc that would cost more then ps5+psvr2 combined
@@jaylenadegoke lol the only people really complaining are pc elitist since the headset won’t work on pc they feel the need to cry about it in some way or another and the price is the easiest target.

Yup
Gonna need that with my wild two year old son
My PSVR box has always had this purpose. It's just very convenient for the headset not to get dusty.
@@emilkata but sounds that this time around they put this into consideration

When you put the handsets on the charging station they kind of look like one controller together at those angles. That’s neat
And the charging station it's an extra cost right?

Only PlayStation ecosystem
Hopefully we get driving sims in PSVR2 (American Truck Simulator VR, Train Sim World VR, Bus Simulator VR).
there is grand turismo 7 the entire game in VR

Yeah only the best driving Simulator in the world that's the only one

Do you think there will be PS VR2 game reviews out before 22nd? So we can decide what to buy?
Rumor has it the embargo lifts 2/15
Do you mean waiting for not digital forms?
Playstation release a video on how to use the VR2 and what all the buttons on it are doing!
It tells you on your first setup of the headset
It is eerie how exactly the same the new headset looks side by side with the original.
It looks similar but much better at the same time, it’s hard to explain lol
It doesn't look exactly the same though. It does look similar
Thats becouse sony made the perfect design with the first one
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Is the headset designed for the Pulse 3D headphones to be worn over it?
Indeed it is
Yes but Steelseries Ftw
Yes
I’ll eventually get this looks dope!
Those headphones don’t look like the ones included in the original psvr. They made another updated psvr and maybe it was on that one but not on the original launch psvr
As usual Sony leave a lot to be desired when It comes to boxing high end items.
This is much better

How many games do u get to try early

Will Ps5vr2 have Demo games on launch of the headset?
Song in the Smoke will get a Demo
That cable should absolutely be some kind of magnetic attachment dealio. I'm definitely going to step on that and destroy everything.
Thank you for that, Linkin Park. ❤
For that price they should’ve included the charging station tbh……
Tru tru
Though they're actually selling the headset at a significant loss. Any comparable headset for PC would cost over 1000 bucks EASILY.
Well the controllers are included unlike the PSVR1
Man says the lid , like you play that .
Can you play normal ps5 games with PSVR ?
How long is the cable that connects to PS5 from the headset?
4,5m
14 feet
Still waiting for superhot upgrade
Nice review
ASK BRIAN TO TRY IT… then you play Viva Piñata on his head… GIVE IT A TRY!!! (2 thumbs up emoji)
Wich is the size of the box? and how much its weight ?
Does it still use the same black material that flakes and peels after years of use? Or have they finally changed it?
Hopefully not. Mine original psvr got bad
buy meta quest2 psvr2 waste money
You obviously know nothing about tech
One thing so far that no reviewer has shown us how long is that cable that you have to plug into the console.
Eurogamer said the cable is between 3-4 m.
14 feet
4.5 m.
How many damn times do people have to say it?! It's like 14 feet! Jesus!
Do you now, where the eye tracking cameras are?
350 to $400 this would have been a done deal
And half-life alyx
What’s song or music behind ??
Anyone know when they're taking the money out for pre-orders?
