sorted bySome advantages of the Q2 over the PSVR2
- No fiddling around to position the headset to find the visual "sweet spot"
- It's wireless
- Massive library of games
- If you have spent upwards of £1,800 on a gaming PC then you can play PCVR games by connecting the Q2 via a cable.
Some advantages of the PSVR2 over the Q2
- The OLED display with HDR support. Looks so good. Proper blacks, not dark grey.
- All graphical processing is handled by the PS5. This results in significantly improved graphics compared to the Q2 which is powered by a mobile phone chip. (That's assuming the game developers have taken advantage of the power of the PS5 and not just ported it from a Q2 game, in which case it will only look better because of the OLED screen and potentially faster frame rates).
- Haptics in both the sense controllers (including the triggers) and the headset itself.
Obviously I chose not to wait for the release of the Quest 3.
Now that the PSVR2 is now being sold by various outlets (not just the PlayStation Store) I expect the sales figures to increase significantly. Is it worth waiting for the Q3? Who knows. For me, I have absolutely no regrets.
I suggest you check out some of the PSVR2 videos on YouTube by Beardo Benjo. He owns multiple VR headsets and has no bias towards any particular one.
A friends son tried it and he instantly fell sick and just would not try it again!
I'm in my 50's and he's just about 30. You'd think a younger person could handle it better!?
Trying it in a shop might not help, as Ian Hickton from Eurogamer says 'you need to get your VR legs', meaning you need to play a few relatively slow games to get used to it before you go to a fast pasted run around shooter (as an example).
As long as you do NOT use a digital code that came with PSVR2 then you should be able to return it when buying it online because of UK distance selling laws. I know that Sony refused to take back units when people has used the game code, so buy another game first and decide you like it before using any code.
Already some great games out for it with plenty more coming.
Like most, fingers crossed for HL: Alyx but if it never comes, I'll still be happy with my purchase.
I bought PSVR2 after the Gran Turismo VR positive reception. All I can say is, it’s worth every penny for that game alone. I probably played more PSVR2 in the first week, than I ever did the PSVR1 across years.
I tell my mates Gran Turismo VR is one of the pinnacles of gaming. And before this I wasn’t even a massive racing gamer.
I did purchase a steering wheel as well.
Unfortunately, with VR, it’s very hard to show people what they’re missing out on as videos do it no justice. But I justify the price to my wife by saying it’s like having an actual racing circuit and car in the back garden at a fraction of the price
Floaty arms and crap movement.
Do you mean you game lying down or is this a uh... Reference to some personal activity.
Few issues though; If you were feeling nauseous after using the 1st gen for a short period then expect this to heighten greatly as the fidelity really puts you in the game with the graphics upgrade.
There’s not much in the way of backwards compatibility for your older games and also not that many games to warrant it for most people. So say if for example you’ve spent hundreds of pounds building up a VR library for PSVR, only a handful of those games have been upgraded to let you play them on PSVR2. Beat Saber been the most popular.
But yeah, no doubt about the tech. If you’ve never had a VR system it’s ideal. Don’t think it’s selling all that well though reading a few different articles so I reckon it’ll get cheaper.
