TAKE MY MONEY!
In the next 12 months
Is VR worth it? I've bought a Ps5 for my son... I wonder if this PSVR2 is a must have. (not for me, obviously).
Heh. I’m in the same boat. Very tempted to get this. For my son. Obviously.
Cheers Elvis not long now!
I might hold off though, the Quest 2 connected to my PC is still going strong.

Only a few hours in length is always a disappointing thing for the VR games. Doesn't make it seem worth it, makes it a novelty.
6-8hrs is fine, at 70 quid it's steep but I rarely buy games at full price. Looks great though...
I expect atleast 8 hours off a £20 game tbh.
If it is 70 that's just ridiculous.
The length is fine, especially for a VR game, it's just priced wrong - something that's becoming a trend with Sony these days. A 6-7 hour VR title should launch at €39.99, simple as that.
What’s the psvr like compared to oculus?
I've got both. Oculus wins hands down for me as it's far easier to use with a much easier set up.
I still love Wipeout on the PSVR though if that had come out on Oculus I'd have sold the other one.
PSVR2
Tethered (has a single USB C cable.
Using PS5 so better graphics and larger worlds.
4k.
HDR.
Eye tracking.
Finger tracking.
Haptics.
Comfortable and can be worn with glasses.
Quest 2
Wireless
Mobile chip in a standalone so mobile graphics and smaller worlds.
Hand tracking.
Convenience.
Can be hooked up to a PC if you have one.
A bit like a ski mask and uncomfortable for some apparently, YMMV.
My newborn is going to be grossly neglected
This'll top my Christmas wishlist in 2023! I'd best be a good little boy! The specs look really promising.
I’m hearing you’re on the naughty step already
Not me dude, always been a good little boy mostly
No white text?
Are the games really making use of the VR tech? A mate had the headset for a PS4 but the games were very gimmicky and it didn't seem worth it to me, has it move on since?
haha, i had put some but was afraid Santa would be reading this so decided against it and to stand firm with my stance! I'm a good lad. Mum raised me proper.No white text?
I'm just starting Half Life Alyx on the Oculus and it is something else.
This is one of those treats i'd love to waste money on but just can't justify it.
There's obviously potential there but the volume of games isn't sufficient. The odd converted AAA game which doesn't make best use of the tech and device specific games which don't have the budget. It'd be liking buying an Xbox.

I bought my son an Oculus just so I could play this
That's why my son has a PSVR tooI bought my son an Oculus just so I could play this
Looks mint. I’m a bit short sighted. Need glasses for far away stuff like watching telly or driving. Do you need to wear glasses for this, even though the screen is right beside your eyes?
Does your wife believe you only brought it for your son, or is she just humouring you?I bought my son an Oculus just so I could play this
We split up last August (2021) mate so I have no idea if she approves
It's by far the best use of VR I've seen so far, it even knocked Superhot VR off my top VR spot.That's why my son has a PSVR too
Fair enough.We split up last August (2021) mate so I have no idea if she approves
You could get away with your monocle I imagine
That VR is coming in what, 10-12 months? I could get a son by then I guess (so that I can buy him that).
Was that the same month you bought the Oculus?We split up last August (2021) mate so I have no idea if she approves
No, we separated a couple of months after, maybe the Oculus was the final straw? If so, it was worth it
I suppose it depends on how Mr Magoo you are but I don't usually need my glasses when playing on the VR but I only use light reading specs.
