stepee Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Played another level of Switchback and yeah this is fantastic. That level was definitely just as good as anything in Rush of Blood. Some awesome moments that were definitely scary af in vr while high. Supermassive has also acknowledged how it’s too blurry and say it’s due to a bug (I doubt it but my guess is they finally realized now they need to use foveated rendering which for some reason they previously said they didn’t need?) and that it will be fixed in a patch. Hopefully they look at the pop in too sometimes it’s so bad I think it must be a bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they look at the pop in too sometimes it’s so bad I think it must be a bug. Those were my biggest problems, blurryness, and extreme pop in. If they fix those I’ll definitely pick it up and try again, because the gameplay loop is good and fun, but my pop in was so bad it destroyed the experience. Whole zombies just appear as I turn. I beat Star Wars, and thoroughly enjoyed it, but it’s probably no real difference from PCVR, except improved graphics. Its Star Wars, so you don’t need to be a great shot lol. I had fun. Also played a little Zenith, which is actually fun, but has horribly character animations and weird graphics bugs when looking at other players.

best3444 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Woke up today with the intention of continuing Ghost and started playing GT7 instead. I finally made progress and it's fantastic. The sense of speed is really accurate and the fp view is fun. Can't imagine this is VR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Honestly I’ve probably been playing this too much I’m pretty sure I should be letting my eyes rest more. I’ve gotten a few more games since Switchback (which I’m loving about half way through) - Vacation Simulator (i’ve been wanting this for a long time and just never pulled the trigger on Quest, it’s a lot of fun and looks so wonderfully colorful on the oled), Kayak Simulator (fun relaxing experience that is the most lifelike thing in VR perhaps), and bought Pistol Whip even though I have that on Quest 2 but so had to see it on this display and I missed playing it and yeah it is mesmerizing on the psvr2 display. Got sucked into it more than ever with the increased fov too. Tetris Effect which I updated for $10 as I had that one on psvr is another one that just looks so much more immersive on here than when I played it before. Also scary dark scenes work so well here with the oled some parts or Switchback use that to good effect and are terrifying. Also I got a charger for the vr2 controllers because that’s been a pain in the ass: Amazon.com WWW.AMAZON.COM - seems to do the trick so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyHell Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Waiting to download Walking Dead 1&2, so looking forward to that once I get home this afternoon. Tetris Effect is pretty good, you can really get in the zone playing VR. I had upgraded that and Fez. If you have flight sticks, Awesome Asteroids is a ton of fun. It's awful with the controllers too. I'm holding off on Switchback for a while, until they patch it, which the Dev said they are working on. It's weird, but from what im reading, some peoples problems are worse than others. Mine were extreme, the pop-in was bad, and it didn't seem like foveated rendering was working with it or something. I had to move my whole head to see anything, I could only had any clarity in the center. But i'll definitely play it once they get it fixed.

Excited to try it out. Soooo glad I rebought pistol whip it looks phenomenal here and it’s just so damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I tried to see if I could get Saints and Sinners loaded before I went in to work but the bundle is still not there! It’s such a shitty launch for this, they haven’t put the first chapter in the psvr2 section yet even, it’s only on the main page, and they want $50 for the complete edition? I thought the bundle was just $60 and that’s what seemed like a reasonable price for both. They had the launch date for this as the 20th and it all just came rolling out yesterday in this weird way.

Edit: I did get a quick round of pistol whip in while I had the headset on before heading to the office though, you get in so fast to the game and don’t need to turn the tv on, it really is just as convenient as quest besides the one wire, which isn’t a big deal it turns out. Getting rid of all the move shit was the important thing and the 500 cables and break out box. One cable is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice! This is a deal I can get behind, I was afraid the $60 price was a mistake or something. 15 minutes ago, Hurricane Game said: Is this a good vr beginner friendly game? I'm still getting my legs.

stepee Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I played the opening of Saints and Sinners Ch1 up to the base and it does look fantastic. I actually played up to this point in pc but I didn’t enjoy it there because I couldn’t get wireless streaming working right without a constant stutter every 10 seconds on Win11 which is a bug that to my knowledge Meta never fixed. Actually thinking of that it kinda explains why I’ve been so taken by this more than I expected, I was pretty unhappy with my Quest 2. When wireless streaming broke and never got fixed it just really made me down on the whole thing, it felt like a big component missing. Then I tried getting the cable for pc direct connection and it was so damn bulky of a cord and it felt like it was tugging it the way it connected. But the quality over it was somehow worse than streaming using virtual desktop and looked like a stream to me, not native. So then finally I decided I’ll just play native games and got a couple new games to get back into it and that’s when it no longer would charge all the way and wouldn’t charge while in use so there was no way to play longer than like 90 minutes without charging it and at that point I just didn’t use it. That is a very long way to say that this was so much more enjoyable than my experience on Quest 2 and I’m glad I’m giving it a second chance here because man even just in the tutorial stabbing enemies feels almost too good. The weight and how it gets stuck and you need to yank it out. Probably a great stress release game later on when you have a lot of weapons and can mess around. But yeah I got really down on the Quest 2 and forgot how much I enjoy VR for a bit so I’m really glad I got this thing. I’d still like a new pc headset too and to play Alyx but ideally it would just be on this one. I see you can use it as a monitor now, maybe it could happen! 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazatron Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Yeah, the S&S experience on Quest 2 compared to PSVR 2 doesn’t even feel like the same game. The haptics, the OLED black levels, the graphical fidelity, the 90 Hz smoothness, PSVR 2 for the win… 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything together really sucks you in differently. Too often on Q2 I would feel like I was peering in a viewer, this headset makes me feel more inside the game. Which is probably the best compliment I can give a vr headset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardAct Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 WHY is the PSVR2 not being sold in retail stores? I'm ready to give this a shot but I want to buy it at Best Buy so that my Total Tech membership covers it for 2 years automatically and most importantly gives me 60 days to return anything, thus plenty of time to see if this is something I want long term!?

Knocks on wood JESUS, I've had my quest 2 running non stop, swapping batteries for over 2 years and never had a problem. People think im crazy never turning the thing off. Almost never had an issue. Im surprised when I hear issues like this. Also never had issues with VD, do you have a good router? Sometimes Oculus link works better for some. Might be determined on the brand of router. I must have gotten lucky with my headset, the thing is a beast. Super reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The connection is fine it’s a stutter on the software end, it used to also seem to be mitigated by having the debug open but that didn’t work last i tried. It’s this: https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/sgy568/oculus_quest_2_stuttering_fix_for_windows_11_and/ You can go down a whole rabbit hole on it but nothing I found ever fully resolved it on Win11. Maybe it’s fixed now finally for all I know but I’m not even going to bother trying anymore on that headset. I might try to fix the battery thing when I have time to at least give it to someone or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Sony PSVR2 Headset Off to Slow Start as Metaverse Push Sputters FINANCE.YAHOO.COM (Bloomberg) -- Sony Group Corp. is projected to sell fewer than 300,000 PlayStation VR2 headsets in its first weeks on the market, a slow start for company efforts to take a leading role in development of the metaverse. The Tokyo-based console maker is likely to sell about 270,000 units of the PSVR2 between its Feb. 22 release and the end of March, according to estimates from the research firm IDC. Sony had a lofty goal of making about 2 million units for the PSVR2’s launch window, Bloomberg News reported last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
