PlayStation VR2: The First Hands-On - IGN

IGN: "Check out our first hands-on impressions of PlayStation VR2 and Horizon Call of the Mountain."

Man this is looking even better than I thought. I have the same headphones already so I'm all set for the sound part.

[EvertonFC]

I'm so hoping for a metro series VR2 version at some point especially the 1st 2 games.

[LordoftheCritics]

Sony delivering as usual.

It's called Playstation for good reason.

[jivah]

Why remakes and adaptations tho. Instead of new ips, sequels and new sagas that add new experiences. On top of what is already there. If we remake everything, specifically games that are perfectly playable, there will be no progress and just circling the drain to kingdom come.

[S2Killinit]

I want new games. Looking at how good RE Village looks, we are in for a ride. The foveated rendering allows for VR gaming thats close (identical?) to regular flat games.

I for one, cant wait.

[tbagmonster]

oh this is looking awesome, wearing a full helmet on my head to play a game, oh wow. no thanks , the way this looks with the headphones on is laughable

[ClayRules2012]

Lol, your comment is laughable. Relax, tbag!

The guy detailed some fair criticisms, and yet, the PSVR 2 looks to have impressed him and many others, which is great!

If you don’t want to wear a “full helmet” on your head when playing a full video game (specifically for VR) I suggest you RIGHT NOW go brain storm, come up with a better design, the money, and get to work or come up with the design and pitch it to someone, and come back here in a few years and report on what you’ve accomplished.

May the odds be ever in your favor…

[crazyCoconuts]

I try not to let my wife see me while playing VR lol...i get that it doesn't look cool in the real world. But there really isn't anything better yet, and I'm not going to pass up awesome gaming experiences for years just because I don't look good while doing it.

[EvertonFC]

I'm hoping the 4.5meter cable isn't too long lol, I know it sounds like a complaint but I don't want it getting in the way either if you know what I mean .

[ApocalypseShadow]

Naysayers still trying their best and failing.

All the previews are showing PS VR 2 is the real deal. And matches and in some ways, surpass many PC VR games in visuals. Thing is, Sony has the franchises, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd party support no other headset has. That's all that matters.

[ClayRules2012]

Well said.

They’ll keep running their mouths, but the PSVR 2 is really impressing people with its overall improvements and great high end quality, which is great!

Sony invested a lot in this and it’s not some cheap thing, that’s for sure.

[moomoo319]

The only thing sounds meh is the audio options. I dont want to wear a full headset with that thing so i guess earbuds?

[Mr_cheese]

Got to love a negative from somebody who clearly has no intention of ever using the product.

VR is here to stay be it PSVR, Oculus, have and what ever the rest come up with. Sure its not for everybody and that's okay because that's how choice works

[EvertonFC]

Exactly it's hardly a fashion accessories, it'll do what it's intended to do and put you right in the heart of the game and improve immersion that a traditional game never will.
I'm just hoping there's lots of Devs out there looking at giving there old games a second wind/chance knowing alittle Dev investment could work well in VR.
Examples;
Metro 1 and 2
Deadspace
Killlzone(at least MP)
Resistance (again at least MP)
Layers of fear
Bioshock
Spec ops
Sorcery
Zombi
Modnation racers etc

[ocelot07]

By the way this guy is sounding. He seems more concerned about how he looks when playing games.

[EvertonFC]

You're loss

[ClayRules2012]

@crazyCoconuts
Lol, don’t feel bad man, it’s all good. Yes, don’t pass up on those video games experiences just because of how you might look, it can make for some great memories for you both…okay, maybe just her lol. It depends, but even if you look ridiculous, it’s all good haha! But continue enjoying them man, and I’m excited to hear what you think of PSVR 2 when it arrives!

@EvertonFC
Lol, yeah hopefully that cable won’t be too much of an issue, and we can use are preferred rooms with enough space to let our bodies breath in this VR experience with freedom of movement without really any issues.

[F0XH0UND922]

Probably the saddest comment I've seen on N4G. Who cares what you look like while you're playing a VR game lmao Thanka for taking the time to comment and tell us you're not interested.

[tbagmonster]

the masses do, if your trying to reach more then 10 million players then it matters, it looks rediculous, only a small subest of players will bother with a helmet to play games, seperating players will always be a issue as well., its great tech that will only go so far no matter how good it gets.

[F0XH0UND922]

Well stats don't agree with your opinion. Sorry

[Knushwood Butt]

No way I'm getting this; I just look too cool when playing flat screen games.

[Stanjara]

I just thought the same thing, a helmet.

[ironmonkey]

You wasted Time in your no life just to comment.

[Aloymetal]

Can't wait for this!

[EvertonFC]

Eurogamer also did a VR2 impressions

[potedude]

It was quite a bit more favourable than the IGN first impressions too.

[S2Killinit]

That’s expected from IGN. They are very critical of Playstation.

[Einhander1971]

Let the haters hate, PSVR 2 is going to be amazing!! Its all jealousy from sad trolls. No matter how great something is some looser needs to put it down.

[S2Killinit]

Every other hands on review talking about the controller features says it adds another layer of physicality that adds to the immersion of VR even more, IGN decides to downplay it.

[Father__Merrin]

Direct x 12 and cloud compute beat psvr2

[S2Killinit]

Lol and THA POWA OF THA CLOOUUD

[gold_drake]

ooff this looks amazing.

[SullysCigar]

Day one, no further questions.

[CaptainHenry916]

Sounds like a $450 to $500 dollar headset. Knowing Sony it might be true. Even IGN thinks it will be $499

[Stanjara]

sounds like 799

[S2Killinit]

So sweet. I cant wait for it

[S2Killinit]

Can you imagine IGN being this critical if they were reviewing an xbox accessory? Hell no. They all of a sudden become gaming fans when its xbox
