Maxie_M0us3 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 It better have backwards compatibility for PSVR1 games… or else it makes a harder reason to buy it. I finally want locomotion on any VR game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsuukasa-R Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) Im pretty sure it will be Backwards compatible to the PSVR1 Games. Im also hoping this will be useable on PC. So this will be a another reason to get this! Edited January 5, 2022 by Tsuukasa-R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomFear94 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I skipped over PSVR last generation (only started playing PS4 in 2017, Xbox main) but I'd be more than up for this. Glad I held out! Wonder when this may release... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpwbjpwb Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 It does seem like this will be compatible with the ps5 and onwards most likely. As long as it can play the old PSVR games I will be happy with it. Otherwise it will hopefully tank the PSVR 1 market and I can get one for cheap.

Bumperklever Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) I am not gonna spend presumenly 1000 euro to play VR on the less superior platform. Playstation VR compared to PC VR is pretty much what Xbox is known for in the console war. So if Sony decides to support pc with their new PSVR2. it would be one, if not the best (private) VR headset out there. crashing into the hardcore VR market with a big boom. But from my understanding, that does require either making your own software or using software by a third party (from my understanding Microsoft is the big one hehe). And I am not talking about fan projects. That one does exist for the PSVR1, but is not optimal. Edited January 5, 2022 by Bumperklever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangisuckatgamin Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Waiting for a major price drop or I’m just not getting one. I bought the first one and played it for maybe 5 hours total. Wasn’t that interested in most the stuff released for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCheck-- Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) PSVR1 games will likely NOT be backwards compatible. The tracking system is completely different. However Sony is no fool, they will want to launch with a decent library and will pay top selling game developers on VR to patch their games forward to PSVR2 (like Beat Saber, etc). Think of the God of War PS5 enhancement, you could use your same save, same PS4 trophy list but enhanced for the PS5. Many games will do this anyways, patch forward but it's yet to be revealed if a new list would happen or not. We will also see games releasing on PCVR and PSVR2 closer together since devs are not having to develop for an archaic tracking system anymore. 2 hours ago, Dangisuckatgamin said: Waiting for a major price drop or I’m just not getting one.

sepheroithisgod Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I didn't get the PSVR because the catalog never had enough games I was interested in. Assuming it supports the older titles, I may pick it up, but if not, I'll skip it again. It's too expensive to get for a handful of indie games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sealightbreeze Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I have vertigo, so I can't use the VR headset. I honestly wish that they could make the games for VR to be able and play with or without the headset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling this will be the case because a developer email told a reviewer that PSVR devs have been preparing compatibility patches for PSVR2 since at least November last year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iriihutoR84 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 The true next gen is about to begin. PS VR 1 was a nice kit and I had a ton of fun with mine but the dated, poorly designed controllers and limited PS4 hardware held it back. The PS5 and better motion tracking will make this a giant leap compared to last gen. I really can't wait. VR is easily the most exciting thing going on in gaming right now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eraezr Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 Also a half-funny, half tangential trivia - there is this dead Oracle from Belgium who made a number of predictions which came true like 9/11, Obama and major Eurasia events. According to a book on Baba Vanga, one of the other things she's predicted for 2022 is a type of digital technology that sounds a lot like VR; it's really going to take off this year in a way that people will become addicted to it.

sephiroth4424 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 So, we are getting VR2 but not Vita2? Did VR1 sell so well? I checked a while back and it had a short list of games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked a while back and it had a short list of games Vita didnt sell well enough ... they cant compete with Switch i suppose and so it wasn't a commercial success But VR is probably the future of video game, and obviously Sony dont want to miss it or be late about it ! That's why we have a VR 2 but not a VITA 2 ^^ Edited January 5, 2022 by seblegamer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked a while back and it had a short list of games I believe its the second best selling headset (5 million units as of 2019), next to Quest 2 (10 million units as of 2021). It makes more sense to keep pushing in a market that is fairly new and Sony is one of the few reference brands than to keep investing in an oversaturated market that is dominated by Nintendo and smartphones.

It's not ideal for sure, but you can move a part of the headset forward, so you can check an other screen to follow a guide for collectibles for example (you look your video a few seconds to know what you need to do / put back the part of the headset close to your eyes and play ... etc ...) Not the best experience, but still doable without removing all the VR headset ^^ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, just slide the visor forward and look down to your phone or device. However most games aren't too long or require that many collectibles. Usually I'll play the game for fun and if needed, take a break to check a guide or something. I love VR hunting, it truly is the only pure form of hunting left (no easy peasy cash grab 2 minute Platinums to sour the leaderboards) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
