Please, try Synth Riders. It's better than Beat Saber imho, and I love Beat Saber. You literally feel like dancing.
Shaz from GL: "Where Sony is ramping down support for PSVR2, and Apple are reconsidering their future with the Vision Pro, Meta and the Quest 3 continue to shine."
I'll admit that Facebook is doing more for VR than others. But they also have blown over 50 billion dollars so far and growing in R&D, building the meta verse, buying up exclusives and underpricing their products below build price, to kill competition in the stand alone space. Sony and Valve aren't willing to go into the red at an unheard level to capture the market. We know Sony could build a stand alone device that beats Quest just by the features in PS VR 2 and the new stand alone headset they built. But the new Sony would rather build a device they can profit from day one.
But, Sony so far has profited on hardware and on software. They just don't seem willing to spend the money on marketing, selling under build price or spending millions on making in-house VR exclusives for PS VR 2. Which sucks big time. They're just letting 3rd parties and indies run the show.
Article also doesn't mention that Apple's headset is more a developers product than a mass market item. To say they are looking into making a cheaper one for the next iteration is speaking the obvious. Duh. That was always the case. Build something the public sees as quality not can't afford, then make another that the masses can afford. TVs, cars, cellphones etc all were once expensive. Now, they're cheap to buy with many options to choose from. And Apple isn't even selling VP as a VR headset. I'm well aware that Apple's true intentions is to build a device that pushes AR with VR as an option. Not build a VR device. Because they know eventually that they want to replace the cellphone with AR glasses or an AR headset. If they cared about games, they would have launched as a gaming device.
Lastly, Facebook launched Quest 3 last year. But has not mentioned how many they sold up to this point. Why is that? Besides Quest 2 selling more by being cheap, the market can't move forward until they start selling more Quest 3 headsets than 2. Maybe the new exclusive Batman and Hitman games will help. But we'll see.
Meta is also Billions and billions in the hole in regards to VR. If Sony were to do what Meta has done, they'd be bankrupt
Meta is losing billions on a business that theh will probably walk away from like they did the Facebook phone. Temper your expectations of your investments in Meta’s hardware.
I do wish Sony would release more for PSVR. It’s a neat product, but they don’t support it much. It may have the same fate as the Vita.
I know it’s two completely separate products as Vita was stand alone, and PSVR is a companion to PS consoles. More 1st party support would really boost it though.
I own PS VR 1, and it is packed with tons of games to pick from in nearly every genre you could think of. While the technology may be rudimentary compared to newer headsets, it still works, and is fun to play, which is what matters most.
Its a shame that PS VR 2 is having such a slow start, because the tech behind it is brilliant. Its currently on sale for $100 USD off, that needs to be a permanent price drop.
We need more first party games on PS VR 2, the fact that Jim Ryan shut down Sony London Studios right before he left was moronic, they should have been upgrading their hit game Blood & Truth for PS VR 2! What a stupid decision.
The VR exclusive hero shooter, X8, has received a new update known as Freeplay Park, bringing a brand new social hub to the game.
drop the preorder date please, lol
It's got huge potential. Just remember:
PS5 power that's many times more powerful than PSVR used with PS4(1.8). And over twice PS4 Pro(4.2).
SSD support built in for next gen engine development like UE5 and fast load times. With nanite and lumen just recently announced as supporting VR.
Dedicated Tempest Audio for high quality 3D sound with pulse headphones or your own earbuds and headphones.
High resolution lenses, HDR and OLED for deep blacks and crisp pixel graphics and bright colors.
Eye Tracking, and foveated rendering for high quality graphics where your eyes are looking, for UI control, for object getting, NPCs looking directly at you, etc.
Haptics for nuanced vibration of actions on screen to your hands and to your headset.
Triggers, touch, inside out tracking, analog sticks, light weight, one wire, etc
1st, 2nd and 3rd party franchises and support for potentially, many high quality games over its lifetime.
No matter what naysayers try and tell you, that PS VR 2 is just another Vita or won't get any AAA games. The total package is staring VR gamers right in the face. Believe the previews and your eyes. Not their negative narrative words.
New WipEout ?
Can't play Omega :(
Sony sure knows how to make a good trailer :)
Can't wait for resident Evil village and 4 RE.
Awesome. I cant wait for this.
