same..had my Vi for over two years now..other than pimax an even greater expensive more options like xtal. index is still the clear winner. amazing vr controllers, 130* FOV seems like everyone wants to stay with 100-110 and never go higher. and being limited with actual vr games, you dont need to spend 1ks for the higher end ones..index is still king what what we have as of now. ya know why couldnt sony, just bump it up a little? 130* + or exceed make it 150+ fov. have a wireless version like quest..then this be the best VR Headset to ever be released , but it seems everyone wants to throttle vr, so they can keep releasing slightly better models during the years to sell the same thing over an over again
@@jackreeves7 they shouldve of made it dual choice..like q2. Link in with one cord , and wireless mode, it has the cameras to see you..looks like it works the same as q2, just a slightly better visuals. but def. they couldve gave better fov.
Not a lot of people have mentioned that PSVR allowed 3D Blu-Ray playback in the headset in 3D. Sony HAS to bring that feature back on the PS5 with the PSVR2!
@@Lollburger88 Nope. Just put the disc in, put the headset on and the movie will be in 3D inside the headset. Nothing will be displayed on the TV however if its not a 3DTV, meaning you can watch your movie in the headset while someone else uses the TV to watch something.
6:18 Yeah I can't wait to experience adaptive triggers in VR either. They are cool enough on the PS5 but in VR I can see them being even more immersive.
Owning the original PSVR and now the superb Oculus Quest 2, I too am really hyped for the new headset later this year. I’m also extremely lucky having procured my PS5 on release day. It’s an awesome console not just for gaming but for 4K Blu-ray watching as well. Thanks Mike for another great preview of what’s to come from Sony later this year.
I got the PSVR on release and finally just got the Quest 2 for Christmas and I love it so much. The PSVR started to feel a bit dated by the end lol The visuals, tracking, guardian boundaries, and controllers in general are a game changer with the Quest 2. I was able to get a PS5 as well and I'm extremely excited for the PSVR 2. The convenience of the Quest 2 will probably keep it as my main headset but I'm super excited for Sony exclusive VR games and a more powerful headset!
I had PSVR, Lenovo Explorer and Rift S. In that order and not at the same time. Only Rift S was good enough. Too bad PSVR 2 will never see those Meta exclusives like Lone Echo 1 & 2.
Hi Mike, great work and happy new year, I think PSVR 2 will be a game changer. I would also love to add there by using a single cable to the PS5 we don't have to worry about a battery pack as well as getting higher fidelity graphics.
I'm fairly sure Tempest 3D Audio Tech is a dedicated GPU core (but without cache, or little cache -- well suited to streaming data), and an API allowing this core to be used for audio specialisation. It's a wonderful design inclusion incentivising developers to use the advanced audio features, rather than budgeting them with along-side graphics operations (that are likely to take priority). Audio matters, and in VR could offer a completely new layer of immersion (eg. ray-traced audio). PC gamers should be very happy with the PSVR2, as it is likely to drive development of high end titles with advanced features: great graphics, ray tracing, 3d audio, just-in-time loading, etc. There's some great PC hardware coming, and having more games to take advantage of this hardware, is a great thing. I'm rooting for PSVR and VR in general!
Absolutely this. The most important thing VR needs now is big games. At the moment half life alyx is the only AAA game that non VR enthusiasts really know about. If Sony put some muscle behind VR we could see games on the scale of God of war but in VR.
@@MadPropzBaller I really hope this is the case.. It's a well-spec'd system, and will likely sell at a reasonable cost. I hope that it relies on a single USBC connection, and isn't "DRM'd" (to use the term).
@@grimmcrag8715 I totally agree. I'm SOOOO glad that Sony is pushing "hybrid" VR games. They worked well for games like Battlezone, Resident Evil 4/7, Doom 3, Skyrim, or The Persistence (for example). Sure, made-for-VR is better, but I would rather have more hybrid games, than glorified mini-games for VR. And Sony driven titles means a larger push for made-for-VR games as well! I too would LOVE to see huge AAA scale games for VR, or perhaps a really good, expansive RPG.
Very excited for PSVR2! Mainly because it's the only place where we can get actually big games created for VR. Limitations of hardware on Quest 2 forces developers to make smaller simpler games, as well the money available to devs for Quest 2 are far less than Playstation can do.
PCVR mods are already better than anything ever on PSVR. RE2, RE3, and RE7 now smokes the console version. RDR2 etc already feel like they're made for VR. Those games will take millions and years to come to PlayStation. Modding is the future for VR, and while sony will have big name games, those aren't even guaranteed to be real exclusives looking at other sony games coming to PC.
@@bmx7596 You can't compare modded flat screen games to actual VR experiences developed from the ground up. This will make more games like Alyx viable to be developed.
They should definitely allow the PsVr2 to be used on Pc cuz that would definitely be a game changer and would compete with quest 2 as we desperately need competition
It seems cool but I think quest 2 is always for another couple years at least gonna be the best cause of the price and with ps vr you need a consle to do just alone this 300-500 dollars then another 300 probably not including games and all the cables never mind it’s 5 to 600 so that’s like a thousand for a wired headset no games weird controllers and a bunch of wires
It wouldn't compete with Quest as that's a standalone headset. With PSVR, even if you could use it with a PC you'd still need to hook it up to some sort of box.
@Drippin It likely won't be that easy if the computer vision is locked down by Sony which is likely will. You could plug it into a PC sure but to get the tracking and everything else working you'll need a lot more than knowing the words "hack" and "mod"
@@Kronk-rp3jf Not if they aren't Sony games. Sony doesn't make the money on hardware. They make it on the software. moving the sales over to PC doesn't sound too smart when you think of it that way does it?
@@ParaMoto910 Sony makes TV's that work with an XBOX and Microsoft doesn't make any money from Steam sales. The VR market will eventually become completely platform agnostic. With Steam VR, it basically is now. If Sony doesn't make it compatible, they'll be all by themselves on the PS5, which I'm sure is their plan but eventually they'll realize it's not worth it to stay out of the PC VR market, just like they're learning with their first party games on Steam (Where MS doesn't make any money).
@@mrspaceman2764 Sony tvs have no choice but to work with a xbox lol, it is a hdmi display imput. So of course it works, that argument is invalid. And sony has showed in the past, that they will risk sales in order to not run with xbox
I don't even own or use consoles, but I've been looking forward to PSVR 2 for a long time. I'll personally keep using PCVR, but I am definitely happy to hear them confirm the rumors from a while ago.
Here we can seriously hope Sony does the smart thing and supports PCVR with the PSVR2. I think it would be crazy of them not to, especially as its just a usbc input.
@@xXSinForLifeXx PCVR is in the state we dreamed of games reaching in the 90s and 2000s, but PC modding and content culture has died - folk like you want a stream of live-service MTX instead so it's wasted on you.
This headset looks great, the thing that gets me most excited though is the idea that Sony seem to be throwing their weight behind VR as more than just a gimmick. New hardware is great but it needs great games to play. More AAA games like half life alyx, less job simulator experiences. (nothing wrong with job simulator, it's actually my girlfriend's favourite game) imagine a game like God of War in VR throwing that big axe and catching it with the haptic feedback. If Sony start bringing out big VR games that sell well, it's going to make other developer's more interested in making big VR games which will push forward PCVR as well.
The best thing is they don't even need to be new games. I'd be more than happy to pay full price for Bioshock, Half life, dishonoured, etc etc. The games are made already!
@@adammerza5745 I just started playing through resident evil 2 on pc, modded for first person VR by People doing it in their free time and it works REALLY well. Theres no reason why pretty much any game couldn't be converted with Sony's resources. The question is if they see it as financially worthwhile.
@@grimmcrag8715 Sounds awesome! I watch a few YT channels playing these kind of mods and get jealous. Even if Sony had to recode the games for the ps5 chipset, the level design is done, storyboarding, voice acting all recoded etc etc and these are proven games in a world full of remakes/reboots/remasters. As scarface would say, no way you can lose money
@@grimmcrag8715 ofc its financially worthwhile, its games thats already been tried and true but now in VR. And sense these companies own the IP's already, its merely a rerelease. Execution is what people need to worry about but like most people said, lots of successful VR mods out so it shouldn't be hard. But Physics and such probably wouldn't be in, so newer games is still better or maybe a remake for each most played games in the past era but ground up for VR physics.
6:04 "along with traditional haptic feedback" Quick note, the haptics in the Sense controller won't actually be all that traditional, as they're using a voice coil actuator instead of a linear resonant actuator. VCAs use the exact same tech as in speakers, and are thus capable of a much wider range of sensations.
That's a great point. The haptics on the DualSense are this way, and it's a massive jump in haptic fidelity when it's used properly (as in Astro's Playroom and Returnal especially). It's going to do a lot for immersion in VR. I hope the haptics in the headset can also come close to this level, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're a bit more basic.
2:50 They will obviously use eye tracking for foveated rendering, because if you have fixed foveated rendering it defeats the whole purpose of eye tracking since everything besides the center is blurry so your only incentive is to look straight.
My reasoning is that they wouldn't bring up foveated rendering as a feature alongside eye tracking if it weren't dynamic--PSVR already had "fixed foveated rendering" in games.
Yeah I don't know why they would have both and not combine them. I think people are just being pessimistic I guess since I'm sure they will use it for foveated rendering.
If it does/will I doubt Sony will announce that immediately as they'll want PS5 owners to have the PSVR2 first because exclusives. If they announced PC integration and a bunch of PC players got the headset over PS5 players that wouldn't bode well with overall exclusive sales.
@@joeyoutube3961 Why would they not? pushing into the PCVR market as well would make the MOST sense. Immediately its game library would increase by a massive amount, and having a new GOOD headset that isn't the new vive for $3000, or a shitty closed system like the quest, would be huge for the PCVR market. They would be shooting themselves in the foot to not support PCVR
My question is more about backward compatibility. Will it support the old ps vr games? Will the game devs come up with a patch to utilise the next Gen features like better resolution, eye tracking and haptic feedback
I currently have a Rift S for PC, but there’s never enough room in my office to use it. VR is best for the living room, especially for casual use. I’m definitely going to upgrade to this when it comes out. I hope they port Half Life Alyx to PS5.
Find enough space, it's worth it. I play in a 7x6m area and Alyx is just amazing to experience that way. I almost never teleport. I walk through the environment and snap turn when I reach the guardian zone. So immersive.
I wouldn't buy a psvr2 gonna buy cheap quest 2 is still better them psvr2 due to being stand alone and to top that off psvr qnd quest 2 graphics are nearly the same and has 120 hz on both. Or wait for the standalone index 2
I'm very excited for PSVR2. Quest 2 is really impressive for the Price point and pushing innovations like Hand-Tracking and the wireless connection to the PC, but there is a massive lack of Games that interest me. The one I can think of is Resident Evil 4 and the one comming is GTA: San Andreas, which are both Remake from PS2 Games. After playing the Hitman Trilogy last year it was apparent what would never be possible on Quest 2 and just what would be a fraction of the graphical fidelity of PSVR2. With Quest 2 the VR-market was turning away from the High-End Experiances, which I really want. Just imagining a VR Update for Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, Hybrid Games or a Port of Half Life: Alyx makes me giddy. Just this possibility alone will sell headsets.
The quest 2 is just a headset for playing games. Complaining about the lack of games and praising its ability to wirelessly connect to a PC is highly contradictory wouldn't you say? Will we be able to play PC games with the psvr2? These products are not the same at all so comparing them the way you did doesn't really make much sense. Imagining a VR update to triple A titles will all happen on the PC version first which you will be playing with a quest 2 so be excited for that not for playing them on a psvr2.
@@rodmunch69 Nah, sounds like he wants "real" VR remakes of popular games, just like RE4 and soon GTA:SA. Playing regular games on a VR screen is not the same thing and often sucks pretty bad
@@TripleVR I'm curious why you think that the VR update for AAA titles would happen for the PC VR version first? In some cases I'm sure it will, but Sony has shown a lot of willingness to throw money at developers to integrate VR into their AAA releases (Resident Evil 7 and Hitman 3 just as a couple examples), and it's rumored to be a big part of their strategy going forward (from the same leaks that were 100% accurate on the system specs). Don't get me wrong, FB/Meta/Oculus has also don a TON for funding VR development (and just pushing VR forward in general), but it seems like they've moved their focus and resources away form high-end PC games and toward games that can run on Quest 2. Not trying to troll, legitimately curious.
1:31 PSVR 2's OLED is PenTile not RGB-stripe like the Quest 2's LCD, meaning the latter actually has slightly more subpixels. In terms of actual clarity, they should be EXTREMELY similar (though the PSVR 2 will have all the advantages of going OLED).
I swear I thought of both your predictions today. There’s a good possibility both will actually come true. Definitely interested but I get turned off as soon as I think of how hard it was to buy a PS5. This is the VR that will make VR more mainstream than any other.
I'm sure the games are going to be amazing, however, I also think they are still going to opt for more sit down type experiences rather than full room scale VR, just like the original PSVR. I think they want to aim for the couch comfort feel of console gaming. That said, this doesn't mean that they won't eventually add a wireless adapter specifically for the PSVR2 in the future. I'd just about count on it. Sony is loaded with smart people making smart decisions (most of the time). I think they will do what they know is the popular thing to sell more units. A wireless adapter would do that. Within the next year or so I'd also expect them to announce the PS 5 Pro.
I mean like, I'm not going to complain about getting resident evil 7 and astro bot: rescue mission style vr games. Also what you said would still include every pancake game being ported to vr. THere will be plenty of indie studios making interesting games anyway, like the swordsman vr studio could just throw that combat onto an rpg and make bank.
When the Ps4 went pro it added 4k. So what do you figure will improve enough for them to release a pro PS5 in 1 year when they can barely keep units in the shelves as it is?
@@K1ngAlexander Yeah, there's already supply issues, and the PS5 doesn't need a pro version, because it already has good specs and not much to be improved upon.
Wireless will downgrade the headset with current technologies out. Also I own the Oculus as well and I love the system but the time frame with the Oculus is about garbage lol. Right as I get on a roll and get into the games I have to stop and charge it up for a couple hours. I rather have a wire any day over not having it for every aspect. And to add about the battery life, I have a portable backup battery and plug it into my Oculus and it's kinda garbage also trying to keep the wire back and the pack in my pocket is sometimes a pain in the butt. Yes it works but its not practical sometimes
The specs at 1:23 will be only reached probably when your PS5 is fully optimised. And these are the max specs you can get you will most likely have lower res, and Hz when playing but it will definitly be more then the orginal PSVR. Just my thoughts here.
What do you mean "when your ps5 is fully optimised" Do you think every ps5 is optimised independently or did you word that wrong? Consoles in general are usually way more optimised than PC. Anyway the headset will run at full resolution it's silly to claim otherwise. They might run it at 45/60fps and use projection to get it to 90/120fps in some games tho.
Psvr2 will be a huge jump for vr gaming especially because all first party titles Sony can make with their studios. They already proofed that they are interested to push vr gaming that is also great news for Pcvr gamers. We can expect more big budget vr games in the future.
I like your prediction of being able to buy the headset and hook it up to a high end PC. Honestly that would make me buy a PlayStation and the headset.
Great video! Love my PSVR and I can’t wait for this, quest 2 is absolutely fine as someone’s introduction to vr, but I’m looking forward to the AAA games this headset will have to offer.
I would love if they allowed PSVR2 to work with PC as well. That would be amazing. With them releasing more and more games on Steam I could see it possibly happening, but its Sony so who knows.
i can see them doing this, but possibly also charging more for non PS5 users, like a subscription fee or extra cost, because the headset is probably barely profitable at $500 without games or PS5 sales.
I am sure when sony bring out a hand full of the best games on VR with amazing graphics, the people holding out for a wireless solution will probably be stoked and probably reconsider their wireless ambitions.
Yep, wireless is great and all but it means having A LOT less power, quest 2 works on a mobile processor. If having a single cable means having AAA games in vr, I’m all for it.
@@juancarlosalonso5664 Exactly💯. The difference between psvr2 and the other home platforms will be: native foviated rendering coupled with a powerful ps5 unit, a unified gaming platform that will allow 1st party development to optimize and focus time towards plus a abundance of financial resources too, if sony put the might of their world class games studios to work then, we can expect AAA gaming experiences, not to mention there crazy haptics and force feedback technology chucked into the package. With all this, I think sony might have a hit on their hands.
If you believe that, then you've never used a wireless headset. There is no going back. Don't believe me, watch this. ruclips.net/video/dNXh6I5aBXA/видео.html This is a half-assed solution, a pain to setup, adds limitations, and as he says, will he go back to wired? Hell no.
@@rodmunch69 look. Sony will offer the best price to quality package for those looking that and they have the clout to make it a success for gamers out there.
This was a beautiful video Mike! It's awesome to see your passion still going strong, and you also have such high production values to go along with the passion! It's one of my favorite videos I've ever seen of yours, or really any VR RUclipsr honestly! If you can't tell, I can't wait for PSVR2 haha! Thanks again for going so strong all these years! Cheers Mike! You're the man!
I think it's pretty big news and I really am interested in what Playstation offers for gamers in particular, lots of great exclusives that I'd love to check out.
wired vr is a must cause the ps5 apu is doing all the work means we will get modern AAA GAMES that are demanding quest 2 cant play demanding games in wireless mode
Technically it can if they keep updating application space warp. We just got a 70% boost in power. We don’t have access to overclocking either so that’s extra power and on top of that you can set your headset to gpu level 4 for higher graphical settings we have a lot of hidden power we can’t even tap into yet on the headset. Plus even on top of that you can go and increase the resolution of the headset so we have power it’s just we don’t have access to that power but it’s slowly getting rolled out we can already do 120 fps so imagine what we can do in the future
I am an OG PSVR owner who loved playing games but knew that the wire setup, light tracking, and screen door effect left some improvements to be had on the table. I have since gotten a Quest 2, and think that being wire-free with a higher resolution and hand tracking is THE best way to play VR. Sounds like the only drawback we know of so far for PSVR2 is that it is still wired -- but I will also likely wait to see what kind of support it gets before taking the dive myself.
Maybe this time dev teams will make games with psvr2 in mind which might benefit pc games at some point, i'm bored of mobile quality quest minigames already.
I was just now able to order a PS5 with the disc drive through PlayStation's lottery selection or whatever they're calling it. Two days after having secured the order, along with their controller charging deck and another (pink) controller, I get an email from them saying my order has been delayed. For how long? That seems to be the question. I have the original PSVR but have never taken the initiative to connect it to my PS4 Pro due to being so satisfied my Oculus. I have every Oculus made, all the way back to their SDK when my software company was involved. As far as the PSVR2, heck yeah! Bring it! Hopefully I'll have my PS5 by the time I buy the PSVR2 headset.
My PS5 was only delayed one day and I must say, while it sits on my desk next to the Xbox Series X, Sony wins when it comes to to esthetics. Loving 🥰 the PS5 so far and just waiting to purchase the PSVR2.
I really hope that the PSVR2 has PC compatability, but I also think theres a small chance of that happening. It would be a smart move, but Playstation's primary goal with this headset (just as it is with the PS5) is to sell games. Thats a lot of effort to support a VR Ecosystem that they won't be able to sell games for. I hope they go for it, but I'm doubtful.
@@joeyoutube3961 a few years ago i would agree, but with Sony porting a lot of their "exclusives" to PC and those games selling VERY well on PC, I wouldn't count out them eventually launching the PSVR for PC. Regardless if they do or not, I am sure someone out there will add compatibility for steam vr. I mean, someone has already have done it for the PSVR 1.
Will Sony support PSVR2 on PC? Almost certainly not. Like their consoles, it will be subsidised so they won't want people buying the headset off them for a great price only to buy games for it on Steam and therefore give them no further money. Will the community and/or companies like Driver4VR support PSVR2 on PC? Almost certainly yes. The PS5 is basically a PC with no dedicated VR hardware. This is why it requires a converter box for compatibility with PSVR1. With what we know about PSVR2 - that is has inside-out tracking and connects via a single USB Type C - it is basically a PC VR headset with the tracking data from it's cameras combined with gryro data in the headset. While PSVR1 worked by sending the console a video stream and making it do the tracking, it would not be possible to stream video feeds from the multiple cameras down the one cable so the processing MUST be in headset. All the community/Driver4VR will need to do is 'listen' to the USB connection and see what does what. Advanced features like the responsive trigger and vibration feedback may be harder to workout but it's likely work/experimentation with the PS5 controller could carry over. It's "just" a case of writing a driver for it. I use a PS Eye camera as a webcam thanks to a driver made by a 3rd party company - same deal. While it's not in Sony's interests to put effort into supporting PSVR2 on PC, it's also not in their interests to put much effort into preventing support. The number of people that "hack" it to work on PC will be a drop in the ocean compared to those who buy one to use with their PS5 so no point in making things harder for themselves by obfuscating things. So it won't be on PC at launch but I think there is sufficient demand for an affordable PCVR headset and seeing as PSVR1 was adapted to work on PC and PSVR2 is much simpler, we shouldn't have to wait too long.
8:32 I'm hoping they have backwards compatibility aswell but I'm pessimistic. I have so many PSVR games from psplus that I never played since I didn't have a PSVR
I am disappointed that the PS VR2 isn't wireless. That alone is almost a dealbreaker for me. After the Quest I am not going back to tripping over cables ever again.
Yeah, it's amazing Sony is going backwards on that. I was excited about this, ready to preorder, until I heard that. I'm never going back to a wired headset. Never.
All headsets cannot be wireless it's just not possible untill the future. Quest is wireless only due to the onboard chip that runs the game. PSVR2 games will be run from the PS5 which is more powerful.
@@xXSinForLifeXx I run games from my powerful PC on the Quest all the time. Virtual Desktop and/or AirLink make it really easy and it works. Don’t see a reason why PlayStation couldn’t do the same thing.
@@vitsavicky Airlink isn't full resolution and had tons of compression that's why. Also not everyone has the setup to be able to do that plus it would obviously increase the cost of the headset. Trust me I want wireless VR aswell but it's just not ready yet I think it's the future tho for sure.
It's still only for the PS5, lots of us don't own or want a PS5, new Quest 2 owner but a long time, and I mean long time part time PC gamer. Played my first computer game on a Tandy TRS 80 in 1979. Have been waiting for a cost effective VR unit since shows like Red Dwarf had stories about full VR!
Sony is known to be extremely proprietary so I don't see the device being compatible with anything other than their equipment but you never know. I'd like to see Nvidia jump in on the VR wagon that would stir my interest. Loved the video BTW great job.
original PSVR works like a charm on PC - 3DOF at least. But because it's outside-in tracked the 6-dof is enthusiast jank. If the same holds true, it'll be with inside-out and much more likely to get the 6-dof and controllers.
Its crazy everyone is looking past the fact playstation vr 2 will have a WIDER field of view! Image playing a game in vr and not seeing the black wall along the sides, talking full on immersion! Wider field of view is a dream come true for me in the vr industry!
110 fov isn't that much wider compared to most headsets. Also FoV in VR should be taken with a grain of salt, often times they measure diagonally and the real horizontal FoV is like 90.
I know this is never going to happen, not officially without jank anyway, but I wish you could use the PSVR2 with a PC. Not everyone buying a PS5 is going to buy a PSVR2, and not everyone who bought a PSVR2 is interested in the PS5. The PSVR2 needs a PS5, which is in very scarce supply right now, and a lot of people already have perfectly capable PCs with equivalent power. Making it PC compatible only makes sense both from a money and asserting market dominance perspective. They are clearly happy with entering the PC market as they are selling their exclusives on PC.
Totally agree, this thing is basically a monitor with a set of controllers. Would be nice to see all VR headsets be basically interchangeable on PC. For the most part, that is the case, just hope Sony jumps in with both feet too.
@@mrspaceman2764 Thing is how will Sony make money? They lose a decent amount of money for each headset sold its not a positive to sell more headsets. They only make money from software in their closed off PSN store front.
@@xXSinForLifeXx If that's truly the case. Typically Sony doesn't lose money on their hardware. I don't see why they would change that just for this headset. Nintendo is the same way, they make a profit on every device and game. Plus, Sony selling games on Steam would also be a good idea. Selling more games and headsets can only equal more money.
I've had PS5 for a year and now with PSVR2 I will finally start using it. Super hyped about thew new possibilites and what Sony's first party studios can deliver. I'm of course counting on the Astro Bot Sequel which to this day is my favourite VR game...and I played most of them. OK Alyx was better, but Astro is the 2nd best. Happy New Year to all VR enthusiasts and to you Mike.
I'm very excited as a quest 2 and g2 user on 2 counts: 1 it'll allow true vr (not mobile based) to be way more financially accessible and encourage development for it, and 2 games
@@Eunostos man on top of this comment all I have to do is change the resolution of the headset and buy a mic dude thought he did something with this comment 😂
I think you're probably right about PC compatibility. And you know why? They went with the problematic PS VR2 name, instead of PS5 VR. And the only good reason for that is probably PC compatibility.
psvr1 was also playstation VR 1. I hope they will focus on psvr2-ps5 exclusives. More variations of different PC specs will interfere with the quality of the games. Their original design I mean.
Microsoft are really going to have to up their game to avoid being left behind, especially as some articles state the Quest 2 outsold the Xbox recently. Whether MS like it or not the Quest 2 is a games console directly competing with Xbox and PS5, Sony respond with a true next gen headset but Microsoft continue to rest on their laurels it seems.
Microsoft is turning the industry on it's head with Game Pass, they're not being left behind at all! They're being justifiably cautious, especially after the Kinect debacle. I don't think they're fully prepared to invest in VR outside of the corporate domain. VR is still very niche, and while the Quest 2 is undoubtedly popular, there are other factors to consider. If they were on equal footing in terms of availability, the Quest 2 wouldn't have outsold the Xbox consoles. The PSVR2 will generate some hype, but I can see it carrying a hefty premium, and being a target for scalpers if the supply can't meet the demand.
Great content. I wanted to know if you have any videos or recommendations for which VR setup is a good shout for corporate learning, office based. Would ❤️ some recommendations.
I was so excited for this release around a year ago, but to me this feels like, to little to late. The specs arent that far ahead of a quest 2 and youll be stuck with it for 6-7 years. if this would have come out at launch, and not closer to 2 years later, I bet they could have owned the vr market. Now quest has a huge lead and with it being pcvr capable and cheaper with standalone and wireless bonuses, just makes this not all that appealing to me. Also who knows what cambria will bring spec wise, which could come out at around the same time. It definitely has eye tracking and looks to have some kind of full body tracking. It would just be a big investment of around 1k non scalped to get going, plus waiting for the new games to really take advantage of the hardware. I hope they surprise me, like I said I was really excited for this awhile ago. The fact that its not wireless I think will really hurt it, not sure what they were thinking, the quest can stream pcvr high res games wirelessly. It will come down to weather their exclusive games will be worth the 1k price point, because I bet a lot of developers will be porting their games to pcvr as well. I have a hard time believing this will be pcvr compatible, they would be competing with themselves for game sales that way with no revenue coming from the pc side, but anything's possible I guess, just think that would be big enough feature to make it into this announcement.
If you're looking at it as a 1K investment then you aren't the target audience. When considering a PCVR you don't say "my PC was 2K and the headset is 600 so my overall investment is $2,600" The machine plays games without the VR headset, the investment will most likely be around $500 for the headset.
@@tb1235 your correct Im probably not the target audience for just a ps5, I gave up on flat screen gaming several years ago, popular game design just went away from what I liked the most, but vr drew me back into gaming with its interactive feel and deep immersion. So Im only looking at the package from a vr exclusive pov. I do look at my pc the same way and wouldnt spend your numbers of 2600 either for what I get out of it and I use a pc constantly for multiple things. You can build a mid range vrpc for around 1k (Again non scalped) and another 300 for a quest if your starting from scratch. Its all whats important to ya. for me I view its value from the exclusive games and hardware performance. What stands out the most to me for the psvr 2 is the increased fov from the quest, that I find really interesting. With that said, not being wireless will hurt it, I m guessing they did it just for weight savings of not putting a battery in it and that seems dumb to me. Hopefully they with come out with a battery version. Im not saying I wont get one, Im just not excited for it now and wont be waiting at launch to go grab one with these specs. At ps5 launch with these specs I would have been. I hope they make me want one again, but competition just makes the whole market better, so Im definitely happy for that
@@matthewhannon2509 Appreciate the response, very exciting to see where VR is headed. More competition pushes innovation and it's great to see more companies get serious about AR and VR gaming among other things.
It's not about owning the VR market or beating quest in sales. Playstation is in the business of selling games and software that's all they care about. Like the other guy said it's funny you mention the huge investment like the target audience doesn't already own a PS5. If you don't have a PS5 you are not the target audience just like PCVR...
@@xXSinForLifeXx I know people get a little defensive over "their" brand , which never made a lot of sense to me, but we are talking about this on a vr centric youtube channel. So I do have a little issue with your comment of me not being a target audience. Like I said before, Im not the target audience for a ps5, but they are coming out with a vr system that requires a ps5 to use at a most likely price of close to what the ps5 itself costs and competing with other products I have or will get. This is coming from someone who has always bought all the consoles in the past . I am definitely a vr target audience and any company that comes out with vr products wants to own the market and be the best selling company, they care about making money first. So sony is definitely targeting a market I invest in. They want this add on to help sell systems over the long run or sony would have just come out with a standalone, which they probably will anyway at some point. The only real point I was trying to make was its specs wont hold up for its 6-7 year lifespan, by the time it releases it maybe a bit behind already in its market range. It would have had a huge advantage if it came out at launch and not 2 years later where it could of taken a much bigger bite of the vr install base. Even if you dont consider the price of a ps5, its value of around 500 for just the vr part doesnt hold up to me until I see some exclusive games for just the ps5 system that would sell me on even that investment. Just like re4 sold a ton of quests just for that game. My biggest worry as a big vr customer is spending the money for only a few exclusive games that could be better spent in other places, while that hardware just gathers dust in the corner, like my last consoles did. Just think about where vr was even 3 years ago to where its at now, its a huge gap in quality and I question at this point vr's ability to be competitive on a console without a different marketing strategy of around a 7 year life cycle. If sony announced they would come out with new updated or upgradable headsets every 2 years or so, that would be a big selling point to me for buying the ps5. I just think sony definitely targets me and people like me with this vr equipment, like they also target people that already own a ps5. whatever the case they make vr as a whole better, so I hope the succeed, even if they dont pull me in as a customer this round of consoles
Wireless is the future of gaming . They should have been working on wireless gaming before anything else . The graphics are nice but eventually Oculus will catch up . Wireless . Wireless . Wireless
I have a PS5 and absolutely love it, but my brother just bought him and I a quest 2 and it is so amazing. First time really using VR at all. But soo excited for this !
Working for PS tech support, it would be surprising if they don't make this PC compatible. As it will almost definitely use the USB-C connection, there's no real reason for them to not allow the hardware to work on PC - they allow the DualSense to work for example, and unlike the PS4 PSVR and it's ridiculous AUX port, there is no proprietary ports on the PS5 so... unless Sony decide to somehow lock the firmware of the HMD to REQUIRE the PS5 in some way.. I'm pretty hopefull. Just don't call PlayStation Tech Support for help if you plug it into a PC - we won't!
I think it's a great idea and I think Sony would profit and benefit from this immensely, but only IF they would be very serious about VR. They seem to be but that doesn't mean they will. But ya.. it would absolutely help their reputation get even further, as last generation they weren't too keen on a lot of cross-platform stuff. I think they really should do it.
Mike, I might have figured out a way to download files a wirelessly to the quest 2. First, download the developer hub. Second sign in and connect your pc to your Quest. Use a cable one time and make sure it works. Finally enable "ADB over Wi-Fi" and then you can drag and drop files. Note I don't think it lets you navigate file path though so it has its problems, but I bet you could figure this out and I would love to see you do something with it. Just look into it maybe.
Would love to get this headset, but the PS5 and the headset itself will set me back £1000, and I can’t imagine that this headset is with over 3 quest 2’s
I agree ! I was going to sell my PS4+psvr and buy a ps5+psvr2 but it’s too expensive right now and am going to get the giggle effect with only 110 degrees - I could buy a used pimax 5k plus with 200 degrees fov and a capable pc for the even cheaper or just wait a few years for the price to drop significantly .
@@3adir_ i could ask the opposite question - why should i play flat games now once I experienced vr - why should I play games on a 2d screen a distance away when I can now be immersed in the game - only drawback right now especially with the psvr is the limited field of view and graphics just need to get better in the headsets that’s why I was complaining about the limited 110 fov on the psvr2 but am sure the vr games themselves will be very good with the power of the ps5 - I mean even with the psvr 1 some of the top games were on a par or even better than a lot of pc vr games - think astrobot rescue mission and wipeout for example- but the psvr1 headset let them down a bit with limited fov and resolution . So ps5+psvr2 just for vr is justified if they would of increased the fov otherwise am going to buy a pimax (200 fov) and capable pc.
If you don't have a PS5 your not the target audience unfortunately. Same as PCVR headsets being targeted towards PC gamers who already own a PC. This is such a stupid argument it's like saying a controller is useless because you need to buy the console to use it.
@@paulnicolas172 You could not buy a PC capable of running the Pimax 5k for cheaper than a PS5. That's just a straight up lie or you're incredible ignorant. You do realise the current sky high prices of GPUs right?? I doubt you could buy the GPU capable of running a Pimax 5k for cheaper let alone the rest of the PC
I don't see it doing much for PCVR. Quest 2 with virtual desktop destroys this even though this and that. The untethered experience is the only one with a real future.
This won't be any more successful than the 1st one if there's no PC compatibility. Was the 1st PSVR even profitable? You can buy an Oculus Quest 2 and use it completely self-contained, OR you can connect it to your PC and play Steam VR games like Half Life Alyx. I'll never buy a PS5 nonmatter how many exclusives they have. I HIGHLY DOUBT that Sony will allow PC compatibility because they are assholes. That's gonna be the make or break for the product.
Do you think the psvr 2 will have a feature like the play area set up like the quest 2 has? I think if it does have something like that it could definitely be very useful.
"Much higher fidelity" (because of the cable) I don't know what you mean - Air Link feels awesome and seems limited in fidelity only by the GPU of the machine the game runs on.
well..they clearly said "foveated rendering" in the presentation..so im assuming the eye tracking will be used for that. They didnt say "fixed foveated rendering"
They didn't say "dynamic foveated rendering" either. Its called marketing, and its deceptive. For all we know, Sony hasn't finished that part of the design and testing yet, maybe even they don't know yet.
@@LetoDK Foveated rendering uses eye tracking...that the definition of the technology. (Foveated rendering is a rendering technique which uses an eye tracker integrated with a virtual reality headset to reduce the rendering workload by greatly reducing the image quality in the peripheral vision (outside of the zone gazed by the fovea))...not sure about "dynamic foveated rendering" In December 2019, Facebook's Oculus Quest SDK gave developers access to dynamic FIXED foveated rendering, allowing the variation in level of detail to be changed on the fly via an API.
I bought both the PSVR & Oculus Q2, both are little more than an expensive novelty but i enjoyed them. PSVR is wired but then you don’t have to worry about battery life, OQ2 has better controllers but PSVR has a much larger library. Looking forward to PSVR2 and hope the content support keeps growing.
Will it be easily compatible with PC, I’m saving up for a pc after I got a quest 2 last may and I want quest 2 for portable vr and a good vr for home vr
Im really excited for it. Since my country is having a hard time with its economic problems it will be really hard for me to get it but i wont give up!
Bro why even ask that question lol keep your quest 2 and there about to release the new quest soon incase you still wanna sell because that headset will have all the features of the psvr2 and still give you more value. We have better stuff on quest such as modding and community game support though applab bro
@@BossUpNikka how do I do app lab? I’m still new to the quest? And you think I should sell the quest 2 then for the new quest or will the new one take a while to release still?
Was looking for videos on upgrading from a Quest 1. Had the Quest 2 in my basket but might wait and see how this headset turns out. If it turns out that it can be used on PC, I'll be kicking myself if I got a new Quest now
Tethered cables don't really bug that much. As long as it means higher res games and a lower price tag. I really hope this thing works with PC/Steam VR without buggy middleware.
Can I just say as far as a cable is concerned I've never had an issue I use quest with oculus link often and as long as the cable is directed directly down your back it's a non factor just a tip for anyone who doesn't want a whole rigging system to move a wire just make sure it goes down directly with your spine and in minutes youl completly forget its even there ( just make sure you have some slack on cable )
Don't have a console myself but I am always happy to see VR pushing forward. Still waiting for a worthy overall successor to my Valve Index
same..had my Vi for over two years now..other than pimax an even greater expensive more options like xtal. index is still the clear winner. amazing vr controllers, 130* FOV seems like everyone wants to stay with 100-110 and never go higher. and being limited with actual vr games, you dont need to spend 1ks for the higher end ones..index is still king what what we have as of now.
ya know why couldnt sony, just bump it up a little? 130* + or exceed make it 150+ fov. have a wireless version like quest..then this be the best VR Headset to ever be released , but it seems everyone wants to throttle vr, so they can keep releasing slightly better models during the years to sell the same thing over an over again
Me too
@@ssj3vegett0 I'm sure a number pf reasons why they went with just 1 cord and not wireless
@@jackreeves7 they shouldve of made it dual choice..like q2. Link in with one cord , and wireless mode, it has the cameras to see you..looks like it works the same as q2, just a slightly better visuals. but def. they couldve gave better fov.
if psvr 2 works with pc it might replace the index for some people
Not a lot of people have mentioned that PSVR allowed 3D Blu-Ray playback in the headset in 3D.
Sony HAS to bring that feature back on the PS5 with the PSVR2!
@@Lollburger88 Nope. Just put the disc in, put the headset on and the movie will be in 3D inside the headset. Nothing will be displayed on the TV however if its not a 3DTV, meaning you can watch your movie in the headset while someone else uses the TV to watch something.
@@Lollburger88 how was it?
@@aeriagloris4211 it's amazing. i bought a double Prometheus and Predator combo 3d and its amazing. trust me.
6:18 Yeah I can't wait to experience adaptive triggers in VR either.
They are cool enough on the PS5 but in VR I can see them being even more immersive.
Owning the original PSVR and now the superb Oculus Quest 2, I too am really hyped for the new headset later this year. I’m also extremely lucky having procured my PS5 on release day. It’s an awesome console not just for gaming but for 4K Blu-ray watching as well. Thanks Mike for another great preview of what’s to come from Sony later this year.
I got the PSVR on release and finally just got the Quest 2 for Christmas and I love it so much. The PSVR started to feel a bit dated by the end lol The visuals, tracking, guardian boundaries, and controllers in general are a game changer with the Quest 2.
I was able to get a PS5 as well and I'm extremely excited for the PSVR 2. The convenience of the Quest 2 will probably keep it as my main headset but I'm super excited for Sony exclusive VR games and a more powerful headset!
I had PSVR, Lenovo Explorer and Rift S. In that order and not at the same time. Only Rift S was good enough. Too bad PSVR 2 will never see those Meta exclusives like Lone Echo 1 & 2.
Hi Mike, great work and happy new year, I think PSVR 2 will be a game changer. I would also love to add there by using a single cable to the PS5 we don't have to worry about a battery pack as well as getting higher fidelity graphics.
honestly comparing the first one to oculus it isnt very good.
This will revolutionize the VR market just as Sony first introduced the PS1 and PS2 to the world..can't wait to be a part of that history!
I'm fairly sure Tempest 3D Audio Tech is a dedicated GPU core (but without cache, or little cache -- well suited to streaming data), and an API allowing this core to be used for audio specialisation. It's a wonderful design inclusion incentivising developers to use the advanced audio features, rather than budgeting them with along-side graphics operations (that are likely to take priority). Audio matters, and in VR could offer a completely new layer of immersion (eg. ray-traced audio).
PC gamers should be very happy with the PSVR2, as it is likely to drive development of high end titles with advanced features: great graphics, ray tracing, 3d audio, just-in-time loading, etc. There's some great PC hardware coming, and having more games to take advantage of this hardware, is a great thing. I'm rooting for PSVR and VR in general!
I have a feeling that someone will come up with a way to make PSVR2 work on PC as well.
Absolutely this. The most important thing VR needs now is big games. At the moment half life alyx is the only AAA game that non VR enthusiasts really know about. If Sony put some muscle behind VR we could see games on the scale of God of war but in VR.
@@MadPropzBaller I really hope this is the case.. It's a well-spec'd system, and will likely sell at a reasonable cost. I hope that it relies on a single USBC connection, and isn't "DRM'd" (to use the term).
@@grimmcrag8715 I totally agree. I'm SOOOO glad that Sony is pushing "hybrid" VR games. They worked well for games like Battlezone, Resident Evil 4/7, Doom 3, Skyrim, or The Persistence (for example). Sure, made-for-VR is better, but I would rather have more hybrid games, than glorified mini-games for VR.
And Sony driven titles means a larger push for made-for-VR games as well! I too would LOVE to see huge AAA scale games for VR, or perhaps a really good, expansive RPG.
Woa... you could get realistic echo effects ?!? 👀
Very excited for PSVR2! Mainly because it's the only place where we can get actually big games created for VR. Limitations of hardware on Quest 2 forces developers to make smaller simpler games, as well the money available to devs for Quest 2 are far less than Playstation can do.
PCVR mods are already better than anything ever on PSVR. RE2, RE3, and RE7 now smokes the console version. RDR2 etc already feel like they're made for VR. Those games will take millions and years to come to PlayStation. Modding is the future for VR, and while sony will have big name games, those aren't even guaranteed to be real exclusives looking at other sony games coming to PC.
@@bmx7596 You can't compare modded flat screen games to actual VR experiences developed from the ground up. This will make more games like Alyx viable to be developed.
Good point, the market place is more of a win for devs
@Unmei not anymore. There are actually more pc players then console players today. Look it up 🙂
From a loving console player 💓
@Unmei I promise you
They should definitely allow the PsVr2 to be used on Pc cuz that would definitely be a game changer and would compete with quest 2 as we desperately need competition
It seems cool but I think quest 2 is always for another couple years at least gonna be the best cause of the price and with ps vr you need a consle to do just alone this 300-500 dollars then another 300 probably not including games and all the cables never mind it’s 5 to 600 so that’s like a thousand for a wired headset no games weird controllers and a bunch of wires
It wouldn't compete with Quest as that's a standalone headset. With PSVR, even if you could use it with a PC you'd still need to hook it up to some sort of box.
@Crunchy Tacos they could double their sales and users would be able to play twice as many games. Seeme like win win to me
@Drippin It likely won't be that easy if the computer vision is locked down by Sony which is likely will. You could plug it into a PC sure but to get the tracking and everything else working you'll need a lot more than knowing the words "hack" and "mod"
@@Kronk-rp3jf Not if they aren't Sony games. Sony doesn't make the money on hardware. They make it on the software. moving the sales over to PC doesn't sound too smart when you think of it that way does it?
Really hope they allow pc/steam vr compatibility. Just makes sense to have one headset that can do both.
They won’t do that, Microsoft owns windows 10 lol
@@ParaMoto910 Sony makes TV's that work with an XBOX and Microsoft doesn't make any money from Steam sales. The VR market will eventually become completely platform agnostic. With Steam VR, it basically is now. If Sony doesn't make it compatible, they'll be all by themselves on the PS5, which I'm sure is their plan but eventually they'll realize it's not worth it to stay out of the PC VR market, just like they're learning with their first party games on Steam (Where MS doesn't make any money).
@@mrspaceman2764 Sony tvs have no choice but to work with a xbox lol, it is a hdmi display imput. So of course it works, that argument is invalid. And sony has showed in the past, that they will risk sales in order to not run with xbox
Just becUse microsft owns it doesn't mean anything steam works acrossed all the other vr headsets just fine lol
Also windows 10 don't matter it's what steam uses and coding etc they don't have anything to do with eachother
I don't even own or use consoles, but I've been looking forward to PSVR 2 for a long time. I'll personally keep using PCVR, but I am definitely happy to hear them confirm the rumors from a while ago.
Here we can seriously hope Sony does the smart thing and supports PCVR with the PSVR2. I think it would be crazy of them not to, especially as its just a usbc input.
Sadly PCVR has been dead for awhile.
@@xXSinForLifeXx PCVR is in the state we dreamed of games reaching in the 90s and 2000s, but PC modding and content culture has died - folk like you want a stream of live-service MTX instead so it's wasted on you.
This headset looks great, the thing that gets me most excited though is the idea that Sony seem to be throwing their weight behind VR as more than just a gimmick.
New hardware is great but it needs great games to play. More AAA games like half life alyx, less job simulator experiences. (nothing wrong with job simulator, it's actually my girlfriend's favourite game) imagine a game like God of War in VR throwing that big axe and catching it with the haptic feedback.
If Sony start bringing out big VR games that sell well, it's going to make other developer's more interested in making big VR games which will push forward PCVR as well.
The best thing is they don't even need to be new games. I'd be more than happy to pay full price for Bioshock, Half life, dishonoured, etc etc. The games are made already!
@@adammerza5745 I just started playing through resident evil 2 on pc, modded for first person VR by People doing it in their free time and it works REALLY well. Theres no reason why pretty much any game couldn't be converted with Sony's resources. The question is if they see it as financially worthwhile.
@@adammerza5745 💯! Exactly. There are SO MANY games already made that would be phenomenal in VR.
@@grimmcrag8715 Sounds awesome! I watch a few YT channels playing these kind of mods and get jealous. Even if Sony had to recode the games for the ps5 chipset, the level design is done, storyboarding, voice acting all recoded etc etc and these are proven games in a world full of remakes/reboots/remasters. As scarface would say, no way you can lose money
@@grimmcrag8715 ofc its financially worthwhile, its games thats already been tried and true but now in VR. And sense these companies own the IP's already, its merely a rerelease. Execution is what people need to worry about but like most people said, lots of successful VR mods out so it shouldn't be hard. But Physics and such probably wouldn't be in, so newer games is still better or maybe a remake for each most played games in the past era but ground up for VR physics.
6:04 "along with traditional haptic feedback"
Quick note, the haptics in the Sense controller won't actually be all that traditional, as they're using a voice coil actuator instead of a linear resonant actuator. VCAs use the exact same tech as in speakers, and are thus capable of a much wider range of sensations.
That's a great point. The haptics on the DualSense are this way, and it's a massive jump in haptic fidelity when it's used properly (as in Astro's Playroom and Returnal especially). It's going to do a lot for immersion in VR. I hope the haptics in the headset can also come close to this level, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're a bit more basic.
In my opinion VRchat is gonna be on the psvr2 like at this point they have to make it compatible and other games that are on the quest
2:50 They will obviously use eye tracking for foveated rendering, because if you have fixed foveated rendering it defeats the whole purpose of eye tracking since everything besides the center is blurry so your only incentive is to look straight.
My reasoning is that they wouldn't bring up foveated rendering as a feature alongside eye tracking if it weren't dynamic--PSVR already had "fixed foveated rendering" in games.
Yeah I don't know why they would have both and not combine them.
I think people are just being pessimistic I guess since I'm sure they will use it for foveated rendering.
The specs and controllers look good. I really hope they allow for the headset to be used on PC as well and allow for cross-play
If it does/will I doubt Sony will announce that immediately as they'll want PS5 owners to have the PSVR2 first because exclusives. If they announced PC integration and a bunch of PC players got the headset over PS5 players that wouldn't bode well with overall exclusive sales.
Lmao why would they let you use it on PC? No offense homie, but that makes absolutely no sense.
@@joeyoutube3961 Quest 2 ? PS DualShock controllers?
@@hakjie1112 it will be compatible with pc I personally guarantee it
@@joeyoutube3961 Why would they not? pushing into the PCVR market as well would make the MOST sense. Immediately its game library would increase by a massive amount, and having a new GOOD headset that isn't the new vive for $3000, or a shitty closed system like the quest, would be huge for the PCVR market.
They would be shooting themselves in the foot to not support PCVR
My question is more about backward compatibility. Will it support the old ps vr games? Will the game devs come up with a patch to utilise the next Gen features like better resolution, eye tracking and haptic feedback
I'd like to know this too. Really want to play resident evil 7 in VR but don't want to buy an old PlayStation or psvr1
I currently have a Rift S for PC, but there’s never enough room in my office to use it. VR is best for the living room, especially for casual use. I’m definitely going to upgrade to this when it comes out. I hope they port Half Life Alyx to PS5.
I hope so as it’s the only game I ever felt like I missed out on something special
Find enough space, it's worth it. I play in a 7x6m area and Alyx is just amazing to experience that way. I almost never teleport. I walk through the environment and snap turn when I reach the guardian zone. So immersive.
I wouldn't buy a psvr2 gonna buy cheap quest 2 is still better them psvr2 due to being stand alone and to top that off psvr qnd quest 2 graphics are nearly the same and has 120 hz on both. Or wait for the standalone index 2
what I love about my psVR is a lot of triple A game. I love firewall so much and far point and rush of blood/rigs so much more
I'm very excited for PSVR2. Quest 2 is really impressive for the Price point and pushing innovations like Hand-Tracking and the wireless connection to the PC, but there is a massive lack of Games that interest me. The one I can think of is Resident Evil 4 and the one comming is GTA: San Andreas, which are both Remake from PS2 Games.
After playing the Hitman Trilogy last year it was apparent what would never be possible on Quest 2 and just what would be a fraction of the graphical fidelity of PSVR2. With Quest 2 the VR-market was turning away from the High-End Experiances, which I really want. Just imagining a VR Update for Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, Hybrid Games or a Port of Half Life: Alyx makes me giddy. Just this possibility alone will sell headsets.
The quest 2 is just a headset for playing games. Complaining about the lack of games and praising its ability to wirelessly connect to a PC is highly contradictory wouldn't you say? Will we be able to play PC games with the psvr2? These products are not the same at all so comparing them the way you did doesn't really make much sense. Imagining a VR update to triple A titles will all happen on the PC version first which you will be playing with a quest 2 so be excited for that not for playing them on a psvr2.
You're just wanting to play regular games on a VR screen, you can already do that.
@@rodmunch69 Nah, sounds like he wants "real" VR remakes of popular games, just like RE4 and soon GTA:SA. Playing regular games on a VR screen is not the same thing and often sucks pretty bad
@@TripleVR I'm curious why you think that the VR update for AAA titles would happen for the PC VR version first? In some cases I'm sure it will, but Sony has shown a lot of willingness to throw money at developers to integrate VR into their AAA releases (Resident Evil 7 and Hitman 3 just as a couple examples), and it's rumored to be a big part of their strategy going forward (from the same leaks that were 100% accurate on the system specs). Don't get me wrong, FB/Meta/Oculus has also don a TON for funding VR development (and just pushing VR forward in general), but it seems like they've moved their focus and resources away form high-end PC games and toward games that can run on Quest 2.
Not trying to troll, legitimately curious.
Something the PS version will never have which PC puts out every day? Mods! You can just about play any game in vr because of this
1:31 PSVR 2's OLED is PenTile not RGB-stripe like the Quest 2's LCD, meaning the latter actually has slightly more subpixels. In terms of actual clarity, they should be EXTREMELY similar (though the PSVR 2 will have all the advantages of going OLED).
I swear I thought of both your predictions today. There’s a good possibility both will actually come true. Definitely interested but I get turned off as soon as I think of how hard it was to buy a PS5. This is the VR that will make VR more mainstream than any other.
Imagine playing cross play vr games on ps5 with your pc friends like vrchat 🤯
I'm sure the games are going to be amazing, however, I also think they are still going to opt for more sit down type experiences rather than full room scale VR, just like the original PSVR. I think they want to aim for the couch comfort feel of console gaming. That said, this doesn't mean that they won't eventually add a wireless adapter specifically for the PSVR2 in the future. I'd just about count on it. Sony is loaded with smart people making smart decisions (most of the time). I think they will do what they know is the popular thing to sell more units. A wireless adapter would do that. Within the next year or so I'd also expect them to announce the PS 5 Pro.
I mean like, I'm not going to complain about getting resident evil 7 and astro bot: rescue mission style vr games. Also what you said would still include every pancake game being ported to vr. THere will be plenty of indie studios making interesting games anyway, like the swordsman vr studio could just throw that combat onto an rpg and make bank.
When the Ps4 went pro it added 4k. So what do you figure will improve enough for them to release a pro PS5 in 1 year when they can barely keep units in the shelves as it is?
@@K1ngAlexander that's what I'm saying
@@K1ngAlexander Yeah, there's already supply issues, and the PS5 doesn't need a pro version, because it already has good specs and not much to be improved upon.
Wireless will downgrade the headset with current technologies out. Also I own the Oculus as well and I love the system but the time frame with the Oculus is about garbage lol. Right as I get on a roll and get into the games I have to stop and charge it up for a couple hours. I rather have a wire any day over not having it for every aspect.
And to add about the battery life, I have a portable backup battery and plug it into my Oculus and it's kinda garbage also trying to keep the wire back and the pack in my pocket is sometimes a pain in the butt. Yes it works but its not practical sometimes
The specs at 1:23 will be only reached probably when your PS5 is fully optimised. And these are the max specs you can get you will most likely have lower res, and Hz when playing but it will definitly be more then the orginal PSVR. Just my thoughts here.
What do you mean "when your ps5 is fully optimised"
Do you think every ps5 is optimised independently or did you word that wrong? Consoles in general are usually way more optimised than PC.
Anyway the headset will run at full resolution it's silly to claim otherwise. They might run it at 45/60fps and use projection to get it to 90/120fps in some games tho.
Psvr2 will be a huge jump for vr gaming especially because all first party titles Sony can make with their studios.
They already proofed that they are interested to push vr gaming that is also great news for Pcvr gamers.
We can expect more big budget vr games in the future.
Happy New Year to you and your family Mike. Thank you for all the content you have created for us XR fans throughout the years. Cheers lad.
Hope to see Gran Turismo 7 VR support
Praying for it reckon will happen 🙏👍
Me also
I like your prediction of being able to buy the headset and hook it up to a high end PC. Honestly that would make me buy a PlayStation and the headset.
Great video! Love my PSVR and I can’t wait for this, quest 2 is absolutely fine as someone’s introduction to vr, but I’m looking forward to the AAA games this headset will have to offer.
I would take higher-level quality graphics over wireless any day. One of the draw backs of VR games are their graphics, FPS, and screening effects.
I would love if they allowed PSVR2 to work with PC as well. That would be amazing. With them releasing more and more games on Steam I could see it possibly happening, but its Sony so who knows.
Bro it’s literally a PLAYSATION vr. They are not gonna add steam br because they will be losing money on selling their consoles or on their platform
That’s defeats the whole concept of competition lol 😂
I’m sure there will be 3rd party support for this. Trinus VR allows you to use the original PSVR on PC, but I never got it working perfectly.
i can see them doing this, but possibly also charging more for non PS5 users, like a subscription fee or extra cost, because the headset is probably barely profitable at $500 without games or PS5 sales.
That would be absolutely incredible but yeah doubt it lol
First video of 2022, and great as always
I am sure when sony bring out a hand full of the best games on VR with amazing graphics, the people holding out for a wireless solution will probably be stoked and probably reconsider their wireless ambitions.
Yep, wireless is great and all but it means having A LOT less power, quest 2 works on a mobile processor. If having a single cable means having AAA games in vr, I’m all for it.
@@juancarlosalonso5664 Exactly💯. The difference between psvr2 and the other home platforms will be: native foviated rendering coupled with a powerful ps5 unit, a unified gaming platform that will allow 1st party development to optimize and focus time towards plus a abundance of financial resources too, if sony put the might of their world class games studios to work then, we can expect AAA gaming experiences, not to mention there crazy haptics and force feedback technology chucked into the package. With all this, I think sony might have a hit on their hands.
If you believe that, then you've never used a wireless headset. There is no going back. Don't believe me, watch this. ruclips.net/video/dNXh6I5aBXA/видео.html
This is a half-assed solution, a pain to setup, adds limitations, and as he says, will he go back to wired? Hell no.
@@rodmunch69 look. Sony will offer the best price to quality package for those looking that and they have the clout to make it a success for gamers out there.
@@rodmunch69 wired literally makes no difference. After using both it's not a big deal. Once you're in game you dont even realize their is a wire
This was a beautiful video Mike! It's awesome to see your passion still going strong, and you also have such high production values to go along with the passion!
It's one of my favorite videos I've ever seen of yours, or really any VR RUclipsr honestly! If you can't tell, I can't wait for PSVR2 haha!
Thanks again for going so strong all these years! Cheers Mike! You're the man!
I think it's pretty big news and I really am interested in what Playstation offers for gamers in particular, lots of great exclusives that I'd love to check out.
They probably will do beeter than they did with psvr hopefully we will get a vr spiderman game
wired vr is a must cause the ps5 apu is doing all the work means we will get modern AAA GAMES that are demanding quest 2 cant play demanding games in wireless mode
Technically it can if they keep updating application space warp. We just got a 70% boost in power. We don’t have access to overclocking either so that’s extra power and on top of that you can set your headset to gpu level 4 for higher graphical settings we have a lot of hidden power we can’t even tap into yet on the headset. Plus even on top of that you can go and increase the resolution of the headset so we have power it’s just we don’t have access to that power but it’s slowly getting rolled out we can already do 120 fps so imagine what we can do in the future
Look forward to getting one when they're in stock in 2027.
I am an OG PSVR owner who loved playing games but knew that the wire setup, light tracking, and screen door effect left some improvements to be had on the table. I have since gotten a Quest 2, and think that being wire-free with a higher resolution and hand tracking is THE best way to play VR.
Sounds like the only drawback we know of so far for PSVR2 is that it is still wired -- but I will also likely wait to see what kind of support it gets before taking the dive myself.
Wired is a complete deal breaker.
Maybe this time dev teams will make games with psvr2 in mind which might benefit pc games at some point, i'm bored of mobile quality quest minigames already.
I was just now able to order a PS5 with the disc drive through PlayStation's lottery selection or whatever they're calling it. Two days after having secured the order, along with their controller charging deck and another (pink) controller, I get an email from them saying my order has been delayed. For how long? That seems to be the question. I have the original PSVR but have never taken the initiative to connect it to my PS4 Pro due to being so satisfied my Oculus. I have every Oculus made, all the way back to their SDK when my software company was involved. As far as the PSVR2, heck yeah! Bring it! Hopefully I'll have my PS5 by the time I buy the PSVR2 headset.
My PS5 was only delayed one day and I must say, while it sits on my desk next to the Xbox Series X, Sony wins when it comes to to esthetics. Loving 🥰 the PS5 so far and just waiting to purchase the PSVR2.
I really hope that the PSVR2 has PC compatability, but I also think theres a small chance of that happening. It would be a smart move, but Playstation's primary goal with this headset (just as it is with the PS5) is to sell games. Thats a lot of effort to support a VR Ecosystem that they won't be able to sell games for. I hope they go for it, but I'm doubtful.
I think PlayStation should open their own PC storefront. But I think they sell their wares on Steam at the moment.
No offense homie but it makes no sense that PSVR2 would be compatible with PC. Sony would never do that.
@@joeyoutube3961 a few years ago i would agree, but with Sony porting a lot of their "exclusives" to PC and those games selling VERY well on PC, I wouldn't count out them eventually launching the PSVR for PC. Regardless if they do or not, I am sure someone out there will add compatibility for steam vr. I mean, someone has already have done it for the PSVR 1.
Will Sony support PSVR2 on PC? Almost certainly not. Like their consoles, it will be subsidised so they won't want people buying the headset off them for a great price only to buy games for it on Steam and therefore give them no further money.
Will the community and/or companies like Driver4VR support PSVR2 on PC? Almost certainly yes. The PS5 is basically a PC with no dedicated VR hardware. This is why it requires a converter box for compatibility with PSVR1. With what we know about PSVR2 - that is has inside-out tracking and connects via a single USB Type C - it is basically a PC VR headset with the tracking data from it's cameras combined with gryro data in the headset. While PSVR1 worked by sending the console a video stream and making it do the tracking, it would not be possible to stream video feeds from the multiple cameras down the one cable so the processing MUST be in headset.
All the community/Driver4VR will need to do is 'listen' to the USB connection and see what does what. Advanced features like the responsive trigger and vibration feedback may be harder to workout but it's likely work/experimentation with the PS5 controller could carry over. It's "just" a case of writing a driver for it. I use a PS Eye camera as a webcam thanks to a driver made by a 3rd party company - same deal.
While it's not in Sony's interests to put effort into supporting PSVR2 on PC, it's also not in their interests to put much effort into preventing support. The number of people that "hack" it to work on PC will be a drop in the ocean compared to those who buy one to use with their PS5 so no point in making things harder for themselves by obfuscating things.
So it won't be on PC at launch but I think there is sufficient demand for an affordable PCVR headset and seeing as PSVR1 was adapted to work on PC and PSVR2 is much simpler, we shouldn't have to wait too long.
8:32 I'm hoping they have backwards compatibility aswell but I'm pessimistic.
I have so many PSVR games from psplus that I never played since I didn't have a PSVR
I am disappointed that the PS VR2 isn't wireless. That alone is almost a dealbreaker for me. After the Quest I am not going back to tripping over cables ever again.
Yeah, it's amazing Sony is going backwards on that. I was excited about this, ready to preorder, until I heard that. I'm never going back to a wired headset. Never.
I'm still gonna order it
All headsets cannot be wireless it's just not possible untill the future.
Quest is wireless only due to the onboard chip that runs the game. PSVR2 games will be run from the PS5 which is more powerful.
@@xXSinForLifeXx I run games from my powerful PC on the Quest all the time. Virtual Desktop and/or AirLink make it really easy and it works. Don’t see a reason why PlayStation couldn’t do the same thing.
@@vitsavicky Airlink isn't full resolution and had tons of compression that's why.
Also not everyone has the setup to be able to do that plus it would obviously increase the cost of the headset.
Trust me I want wireless VR aswell but it's just not ready yet I think it's the future tho for sure.
It's still only for the PS5, lots of us don't own or want a PS5, new Quest 2 owner but a long time, and I mean long time part time PC gamer. Played my first computer game on a Tandy TRS 80 in 1979. Have been waiting for a cost effective VR unit since shows like Red Dwarf had stories about full VR!
I think they are only marketing towards PS5 users obviously. This isn't a shock it says Playstation VR for a reason.
Sony is known to be extremely proprietary so I don't see the device being compatible with anything other than their equipment but you never know. I'd like to see Nvidia jump in on the VR wagon that would stir my interest. Loved the video BTW great job.
Sony has opened up to putting some of their marquee games on Steam of late so you never know.
I’ve bought my share of off-brand PlayStation controls that worked. Horrible ergonomics in compare but worked.
original PSVR works like a charm on PC - 3DOF at least. But because it's outside-in tracked the 6-dof is enthusiast jank. If the same holds true, it'll be with inside-out and much more likely to get the 6-dof and controllers.
Its crazy everyone is looking past the fact playstation vr 2 will have a WIDER field of view! Image playing a game in vr and not seeing the black wall along the sides, talking full on immersion! Wider field of view is a dream come true for me in the vr industry!
110 fov isn't that much wider compared to most headsets.
Also FoV in VR should be taken with a grain of salt, often times they measure diagonally and the real horizontal FoV is like 90.
I know this is never going to happen, not officially without jank anyway, but I wish you could use the PSVR2 with a PC.
Not everyone buying a PS5 is going to buy a PSVR2, and not everyone who bought a PSVR2 is interested in the PS5.
The PSVR2 needs a PS5, which is in very scarce supply right now, and a lot of people already have perfectly capable PCs with equivalent power.
Making it PC compatible only makes sense both from a money and asserting market dominance perspective.
They are clearly happy with entering the PC market as they are selling their exclusives on PC.
Totally agree, this thing is basically a monitor with a set of controllers. Would be nice to see all VR headsets be basically interchangeable on PC. For the most part, that is the case, just hope Sony jumps in with both feet too.
@@mrspaceman2764 Thing is how will Sony make money?
They lose a decent amount of money for each headset sold its not a positive to sell more headsets.
They only make money from software in their closed off PSN store front.
@@xXSinForLifeXx If that's truly the case. Typically Sony doesn't lose money on their hardware. I don't see why they would change that just for this headset. Nintendo is the same way, they make a profit on every device and game. Plus, Sony selling games on Steam would also be a good idea. Selling more games and headsets can only equal more money.
Thanks for this great news. I have the first VR headset and th VR2 is sounding perfect.
This was a surprise
I've had PS5 for a year and now with PSVR2 I will finally start using it. Super hyped about thew new possibilites and what Sony's first party studios can deliver. I'm of course counting on the Astro Bot Sequel which to this day is my favourite VR game...and I played most of them. OK Alyx was better, but Astro is the 2nd best. Happy New Year to all VR enthusiasts and to you Mike.
@@Graczula 'i will finally start using it' - you said you hadn't used it. Welcome to English.
@@Eunostos thanks professor :)
Would love to see the psvr 2 available for pc. Haven’t had any luck getting the ps5, so this is the only option I have sadly.
I wish adaptive triggers could completely lick like when gun is jammed or out of ammo. Maybe in the next controller
PSVR2 on PC would be ideal for me. I won't touch anything that Facebook makes.
I'm very excited as a quest 2 and g2 user on 2 counts: 1 it'll allow true vr (not mobile based) to be way more financially accessible and encourage development for it, and 2 games
Imagine dropping 800$+ to get a more limited vr experience than a quest 2
@@BossUpNikka Imagine being willing to sim-rig with shit-tier compression and audio. Get a job.
@@Eunostos imagine being so focused on someone else’s life you end up bumming on the internet instead of chasing a bag. Get a job 🤣
@@Eunostos man on top of this comment all I have to do is change the resolution of the headset and buy a mic dude thought he did something with this comment 😂
I think you're probably right about PC compatibility. And you know why? They went with the problematic PS VR2 name, instead of PS5 VR. And the only good reason for that is probably PC compatibility.
psvr1 was also playstation VR 1. I hope they will focus on psvr2-ps5 exclusives. More variations of different PC specs will interfere with the quality of the games. Their original design I mean.
That's literally what the first one was called how is that problematic? It's still Playstation not PC.
PSVR1 and PS VR2 they just added a space.
PS5 VR would be confusing for the consumers because you can play VR on the PS5 right now
Still has a cable??? why!!
Microsoft are really going to have to up their game to avoid being left behind, especially as some articles state the Quest 2 outsold the Xbox recently. Whether MS like it or not the Quest 2 is a games console directly competing with Xbox and PS5, Sony respond with a true next gen headset but Microsoft continue to rest on their laurels it seems.
Microsoft is turning the industry on it's head with Game Pass, they're not being left behind at all! They're being justifiably cautious, especially after the Kinect debacle.
I don't think they're fully prepared to invest in VR outside of the corporate domain. VR is still very niche, and while the Quest 2 is undoubtedly popular, there are other factors to consider. If they were on equal footing in terms of availability, the Quest 2 wouldn't have outsold the Xbox consoles.
The PSVR2 will generate some hype, but I can see it carrying a hefty premium, and being a target for scalpers if the supply can't meet the demand.
Me constantly saying that Microsoft already has a gaming vr headset 😒
Great content.
I wanted to know if you have any videos or recommendations for which VR setup is a good shout for corporate learning, office based.
Would ❤️ some recommendations.
Yeah, scalpers will have a feat............... smh
Nice. Thnx for the hard work. Excellent summary 👊
I was so excited for this release around a year ago, but to me this feels like, to little to late. The specs arent that far ahead of a quest 2 and youll be stuck with it for 6-7 years. if this would have come out at launch, and not closer to 2 years later, I bet they could have owned the vr market. Now quest has a huge lead and with it being pcvr capable and cheaper with standalone and wireless bonuses, just makes this not all that appealing to me. Also who knows what cambria will bring spec wise, which could come out at around the same time. It definitely has eye tracking and looks to have some kind of full body tracking. It would just be a big investment of around 1k non scalped to get going, plus waiting for the new games to really take advantage of the hardware. I hope they surprise me, like I said I was really excited for this awhile ago. The fact that its not wireless I think will really hurt it, not sure what they were thinking, the quest can stream pcvr high res games wirelessly. It will come down to weather their exclusive games will be worth the 1k price point, because I bet a lot of developers will be porting their games to pcvr as well. I have a hard time believing this will be pcvr compatible, they would be competing with themselves for game sales that way with no revenue coming from the pc side, but anything's possible I guess, just think that would be big enough feature to make it into this announcement.
If you're looking at it as a 1K investment then you aren't the target audience. When considering a PCVR you don't say "my PC was 2K and the headset is 600 so my overall investment is $2,600"
The machine plays games without the VR headset, the investment will most likely be around $500 for the headset.
@@tb1235 your correct Im probably not the target audience for just a ps5, I gave up on flat screen gaming several years ago, popular game design just went away from what I liked the most, but vr drew me back into gaming with its interactive feel and deep immersion. So Im only looking at the package from a vr exclusive pov. I do look at my pc the same way and wouldnt spend your numbers of 2600 either for what I get out of it and I use a pc constantly for multiple things. You can build a mid range vrpc for around 1k (Again non scalped) and another 300 for a quest if your starting from scratch. Its all whats important to ya. for me I view its value from the exclusive games and hardware performance. What stands out the most to me for the psvr 2 is the increased fov from the quest, that I find really interesting. With that said, not being wireless will hurt it, I m guessing they did it just for weight savings of not putting a battery in it and that seems dumb to me. Hopefully they with come out with a battery version. Im not saying I wont get one, Im just not excited for it now and wont be waiting at launch to go grab one with these specs. At ps5 launch with these specs I would have been. I hope they make me want one again, but competition just makes the whole market better, so Im definitely happy for that
@@matthewhannon2509 Appreciate the response, very exciting to see where VR is headed. More competition pushes innovation and it's great to see more companies get serious about AR and VR gaming among other things.
It's not about owning the VR market or beating quest in sales. Playstation is in the business of selling games and software that's all they care about.
Like the other guy said it's funny you mention the huge investment like the target audience doesn't already own a PS5.
If you don't have a PS5 you are not the target audience just like PCVR...
@@xXSinForLifeXx I know people get a little defensive over "their" brand , which never made a lot of sense to me, but we are talking about this on a vr centric youtube channel. So I do have a little issue with your comment of me not being a target audience. Like I said before, Im not the target audience for a ps5, but they are coming out with a vr system that requires a ps5 to use at a most likely price of close to what the ps5 itself costs and competing with other products I have or will get. This is coming from someone who has always bought all the consoles in the past . I am definitely a vr target audience and any company that comes out with vr products wants to own the market and be the best selling company, they care about making money first. So sony is definitely targeting a market I invest in. They want this add on to help sell systems over the long run or sony would have just come out with a standalone, which they probably will anyway at some point. The only real point I was trying to make was its specs wont hold up for its 6-7 year lifespan, by the time it releases it maybe a bit behind already in its market range. It would have had a huge advantage if it came out at launch and not 2 years later where it could of taken a much bigger bite of the vr install base. Even if you dont consider the price of a ps5, its value of around 500 for just the vr part doesnt hold up to me until I see some exclusive games for just the ps5 system that would sell me on even that investment. Just like re4 sold a ton of quests just for that game. My biggest worry as a big vr customer is spending the money for only a few exclusive games that could be better spent in other places, while that hardware just gathers dust in the corner, like my last consoles did. Just think about where vr was even 3 years ago to where its at now, its a huge gap in quality and I question at this point vr's ability to be competitive on a console without a different marketing strategy of around a 7 year life cycle. If sony announced they would come out with new updated or upgradable headsets every 2 years or so, that would be a big selling point to me for buying the ps5. I just think sony definitely targets me and people like me with this vr equipment, like they also target people that already own a ps5. whatever the case they make vr as a whole better, so I hope the succeed, even if they dont pull me in as a customer this round of consoles
Catch for OLED to offset the higher res is 1/3 of the led segments aren't lit, so really 1/3 less overall resolution. Better blacks, less resolution.
Wireless is the future of gaming . They should have been working on wireless gaming before anything else . The graphics are nice but eventually Oculus will catch up . Wireless . Wireless . Wireless
I have a PS5 and absolutely love it, but my brother just bought him and I a quest 2 and it is so amazing. First time really using VR at all. But soo excited for this !
Vr jobs are in development for quest 2 incase you need to make money
Working for PS tech support, it would be surprising if they don't make this PC compatible. As it will almost definitely use the USB-C connection, there's no real reason for them to not allow the hardware to work on PC - they allow the DualSense to work for example, and unlike the PS4 PSVR and it's ridiculous AUX port, there is no proprietary ports on the PS5 so... unless Sony decide to somehow lock the firmware of the HMD to REQUIRE the PS5 in some way.. I'm pretty hopefull.
Just don't call PlayStation Tech Support for help if you plug it into a PC - we won't!
Of course it's not going to work on the PC, at least not natively.
I think it's a great idea and I think Sony would profit and benefit from this immensely, but only IF they would be very serious about VR. They seem to be but that doesn't mean they will.
But ya.. it would absolutely help their reputation get even further, as last generation they weren't too keen on a lot of cross-platform stuff. I think they really should do it.
Mike, I might have figured out a way to download files a wirelessly to the quest 2. First, download the developer hub. Second sign in and connect your pc to your Quest. Use a cable one time and make sure it works. Finally enable "ADB over Wi-Fi" and then you can drag and drop files. Note I don't think it lets you navigate file path though so it has its problems, but I bet you could figure this out and I would love to see you do something with it. Just look into it maybe.
Would love to get this headset, but the PS5 and the headset itself will set me back £1000, and I can’t imagine that this headset is with over 3 quest 2’s
I agree ! I was going to sell my PS4+psvr and buy a ps5+psvr2 but it’s too expensive right now and am going to get the giggle effect with only 110 degrees - I could buy a used pimax 5k plus with 200 degrees fov and a capable pc for the even cheaper or just wait a few years for the price to drop significantly .
Who tf buys a PS5 specifically for VR?
@@3adir_ i could ask the opposite question - why should i play flat games now once I experienced vr - why should I play games on a 2d screen a distance away when I can now be immersed in the game - only drawback right now especially with the psvr is the limited field of view and graphics just need to get better in the headsets that’s why I was complaining about the limited 110 fov on the psvr2 but am sure the vr games themselves will be very good with the power of the ps5 - I mean even with the psvr 1 some of the top games were on a par or even better than a lot of pc vr games - think astrobot rescue mission and wipeout for example- but the psvr1 headset let them down a bit with limited fov and resolution . So ps5+psvr2 just for vr is justified if they would of increased the fov otherwise am going to buy a pimax (200 fov) and capable pc.
If you don't have a PS5 your not the target audience unfortunately. Same as PCVR headsets being targeted towards PC gamers who already own a PC.
This is such a stupid argument it's like saying a controller is useless because you need to buy the console to use it.
@@paulnicolas172 You could not buy a PC capable of running the Pimax 5k for cheaper than a PS5.
That's just a straight up lie or you're incredible ignorant. You do realise the current sky high prices of GPUs right??
I doubt you could buy the GPU capable of running a Pimax 5k for cheaper let alone the rest of the PC
I still wanting get my hands on PS5 I cant get one any were any idea wen they might be back in stock were all of us can buy one
I don't see it doing much for PCVR. Quest 2 with virtual desktop destroys this even though this and that. The untethered experience is the only one with a real future.
When I opened this video I got an ad for the Oculus Quest 2
This won't be any more successful than the 1st one if there's no PC compatibility. Was the 1st PSVR even profitable? You can buy an Oculus Quest 2 and use it completely self-contained, OR you can connect it to your PC and play Steam VR games like Half Life Alyx. I'll never buy a PS5 nonmatter how many exclusives they have. I HIGHLY DOUBT that Sony will allow PC compatibility because they are assholes. That's gonna be the make or break for the product.
These will be my first vr setup when they are released.
game changer lol, headset that is wired lol
Bro I’m having a field day knowing that PlayStation fans are saying quest 2 killer when we can play all of there game and not spend 800$
I have a few questions
1.can iz be coonected to ps4 pro?
2.do you need to have a TV?
No its not gonna be a game changer
I've never had a VR headset, but I've always loved it. Happy to see new VR headset coming out!
well why dont you get one? if $ an issue..same like everything else..save.
Do you think the psvr 2 will have a feature like the play area set up like the quest 2 has? I think if it does have something like that it could definitely be very useful.
Imagine Bloodborne 2 in PSVR 2
"Much higher fidelity" (because of the cable)
I don't know what you mean - Air Link feels awesome and seems limited in fidelity only by the GPU of the machine the game runs on.
well..they clearly said "foveated rendering" in the presentation..so im assuming the eye tracking will be used for that. They didnt say "fixed foveated rendering"
They didn't say "dynamic foveated rendering" either. Its called marketing, and its deceptive.
For all we know, Sony hasn't finished that part of the design and testing yet, maybe even they don't know yet.
@@LetoDK Foveated rendering uses eye tracking...that the definition of the technology. (Foveated rendering is a rendering technique which uses an eye tracker integrated with a virtual reality headset to reduce the rendering workload by greatly reducing the image quality in the peripheral vision (outside of the zone gazed by the fovea))...not sure about "dynamic foveated rendering" In December 2019, Facebook's Oculus Quest SDK gave developers access to dynamic FIXED foveated rendering, allowing the variation in level of detail to be changed on the fly via an API.
I bought both the PSVR & Oculus Q2, both are little more than an expensive novelty but i enjoyed them. PSVR is wired but then you don’t have to worry about battery life, OQ2 has better controllers but PSVR has a much larger library. Looking forward to PSVR2 and hope the content support keeps growing.
Will it be easily compatible with PC, I’m saving up for a pc after I got a quest 2 last may and I want quest 2 for portable vr and a good vr for home vr
Im really excited for it. Since my country is having a hard time with its economic problems it will be really hard for me to get it but i wont give up!
Can we use the headset just to play regular Ps5 games? Like play them on a virtual Movie screen
I just got the Oculus Quest 2 the other day. Do you think it’s worth keeping or should I return it and save the money for the PS5 VR?
Bro why even ask that question lol keep your quest 2 and there about to release the new quest soon incase you still wanna sell because that headset will have all the features of the psvr2 and still give you more value. We have better stuff on quest such as modding and community game support though applab bro
@@BossUpNikka how do I do app lab? I’m still new to the quest? And you think I should sell the quest 2 then for the new quest or will the new one take a while to release still?
Was looking for videos on upgrading from a Quest 1. Had the Quest 2 in my basket but might wait and see how this headset turns out. If it turns out that it can be used on PC, I'll be kicking myself if I got a new Quest now
Tethered cables don't really bug that much. As long as it means higher res games and a lower price tag. I really hope this thing works with PC/Steam VR without buggy middleware.
Hey Mike, how do I open this fig bar
Mike, do you think half life alyx will port for psvr2 ?
I think with this new features deserves to play it again ;)
Can I just say as far as a cable is concerned I've never had an issue I use quest with oculus link often and as long as the cable is directed directly down your back it's a non factor just a tip for anyone who doesn't want a whole rigging system to move a wire just make sure it goes down directly with your spine and in minutes youl completly forget its even there ( just make sure you have some slack on cable )
Great vid your the best VR media out there!
Will this work with cochlear implants? headsets are out for cochlear implant wearer. The occulas 2 works with them
In your opinion how much could i trade in my old psvr headset for
What about the motion sickness you get after gameplay
Will they have something for those who have glasses because i want to use VR but my eye sight sucks
I hope your prediction becomes true- I would love to use this headset to play steamvr games on a PC! :)
do you think the psvr2 is gonna work with pc too as its having the usb-c connection?
I just got a oculus quest and now this is coming out!! Wow 🤯
From the one video where you told us how to get the mods but witch usb do I need
It would be cool if you could use eye-tracking for moving in all distances.
