These unboxing videos are popping up all over, but they aren't all equal by a long shot. Some of them have ZERO clue what they're looking at, let alone what they're talking about! I thought this one was pretty good, though.

One thing worth pointing out is we really don't know if replacing the cable will be "a real pain" until it's covered on ifixit.com or similar. We know it's replaceable, which is a massive step in the right direction and removes the biggest worry compared to past headsets.

Extra points for unboxing at your grandma's house ;^p

EvertonFC475d ago

Eurogamer was informative and funny, the ONLY one you need to watch.
Bless from KFG couldn't even work out adjusting the headset to fit yet says he plays psvr which is practically the same as a adjusting the VR2 headset.

PureBlood475d ago

IGN are useless with VR. They don't have a clue. They really need to hire VR veterans if they want to be taken seriously.

Profchaos475d ago (Edited 475d ago )

@pureblood. Absolutely agree IGN are clueless they had nothing positive to add to the VR conversation over the last 8 years or so and often cbf reviewing even the biggest VR games.
They then trashed psvr2 with clickbait style articles and really uninformed conversations because they didn't get invited to the early previews

MrNinosan475d ago

IGN's Scoville who's even on their Playstation Podcast was embarrassing to watch. He clearly have no idea how to use a VR-headset.

PureBlood475d ago

On the GT7 preview they did, neither Max Scoville nor the other guy, even knew what the PSVR2 controllers were called.

Meanwhile, actual VR sites and channels haven't even got to try it yet, let alone received their own.

S2Killinit475d ago

hotnickles475d ago

Nice. Thanks my dude. Can you ask the AI to rank those in terms of quality and fun factor. Or do you have an opinion on which one of those are good? I’ll accept either.

MrNinosan475d ago

My AI friend came up with those:

After the Fall - oh yeah
Altair Breaker - if you like sword combat
Cities VR - If you like city building
Cosmonious High - If you need some fun or show friends
Fantavision 202X - if you liked the PS2 version, but in VT
Gran Turismo 7 - this is for everyone
Horizon Call of the Mountain - should be one of the best experience in VR together with Half Life Alyx
Job Simulator - Crazy fun in short periods
Jurassic World Aftermath - have potential
Kayak VR: Mirage - best looking
The Light Brigade - looks interesting
Moss 1 & 2 Remaster - best platformers after Astro
Pavlov VR - great shooter
Pistol Whip - amazing shooter with beats
Resident Evil Village - diapers or toilet paper, not included
Rez Infinite - for some, not for me
Song in the Smoke - looks so much better than the PSVR-version, great game
STAR WARS: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge - yes please
Tentacular - looks like fun when friends are on a visit
Tetris Effect: Connected - love it
Thumper - another rythmic music game
Vacation Simulator - like job simulator, fun in short periods
What the Bat! - looks like fun if cheap
Zenith: The Last City - played this for a year on Meta, great fun if you like MMO's

I can see No Man Sky was missing on this list, which is a must play in VR

Knushwood Butt475d ago

I think they said Song in the Smoke is a free upgrade.

hotnickles474d ago

Looked up a few trailers based on the recommendations from yall and the robot. You have sold:

- after the fall (just found out the headset vibrates wtf!)
- song in the smoke
- horizon (not a big fan of the main games but wth)

I already own cities and Tetris unless they are separate purchases.

MrNinosan474d ago (Edited 474d ago )

Glad I could help.
If you haven't already, take a look at No Man Sky.

Sorry but PSVR2 is dead and double dead at any sale price. It was dead before it launched as the "premium" VR scene lost all the AAA developers and now it is all indie mobile phone crap quality software.

State of Play | May 30, 2024

State of Play is back! Tune in live for updates on PS5 and PS VR2 titles, plus a look at PlayStation Studios games arriving later this year.

darthv721d 4h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

Im getting a bit of GotG vibes from Concord.

Ragnarok coming September 2024... that's just shy of 2 years since the PS5 release in November 2022.

-Foxtrot1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

I thought exactly the same. If they made it more like the GotG game and it wasn't online focused I'd have been sold instantly.

BISHOP-BRASIL1d ago (Edited 1d ago )

Yup, I was hyped up by the cinematic trailer and immediately put off the moment the gameplay trailer started, that was very high quality and great concept cinematic just for another Overwatch wannabe... Here's hoping they succeed so eventually someday they make an actual campaign focused entry for the franchise, but I'm not holding my breath and I'm definitely not falling for always online crap and FOMO just to follow drip fed cinematic "content".

EDIT: I'm still watching it as I comment... OMG they have another hero shooter, Marvel Rivals, seriously, they missed 2020 or something? For those not into online only and VR games, gotta say, poor show so far...

Profchaos1d 3h ago

Gotg would of been a hit if it released before Avengers was my goty a few years back so I'm intrigued here

RaidenBlack1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

GotG is very underrated and had the unfortunate luck of releasing just after Avengers.
Its really good and more people should play it.

Lightning771d ago

Concord didn't do anything for me personally just another Overwatch mash up with other fps stuff. I mostly popped for Dynasty Warriors for next year. That was my biggest reveal I was genuinely excited for.

No Ghost 2. It's very clear Sony will wait later to Announce the Big Aaa's they don't wanna announce stuff too early and rather announce it closer to release.

darthv721d 3h ago

Maybe its just me but Astrobot looked more R&C inspired than ever.

P_Bomb1d 3h ago

Astro won the show. Looks epic! Huge bosses too like from the PSVR game.

shinoff21831d 3h ago

Astro bot and silent hill 2 remake are what I'm liking out of this.

RaidenBlack1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

Most games appeared good.
Where Winds Meet and Monster Hunter seemed like those needed a bit more polish but that's ok as those aren't releasing anytime soon but I am still kinda worried regarding SH2Remake. Still looks rough and from rear view, James Sunderland looks nearly identical to Leon Kennedy's model from RE4Remake. Hope I am wrong though.
Other games were decent. Even Marvel Rivals.
Ballad of Antara was the highlight for me, followed by Infinity Nikki(purely on the art style alone).
And glad that, Path of Exile 2 is coming to PS5 and Ragnarok is coming to PC!
Behemoth for VR2 also looked really interesting.

PapaBop1d 3h ago

You actually liked Infinity Nikki art style?

PSPSA18h ago

Was my favorite looking game of the show, art style looks amazing

RaidenBlack16h ago

Its not my type of game ...but the design and art style is really well thought out

Lightning771d ago (Edited 1d ago )

Marvel Rivals had a PC invite alpha test a few weeks back and they love the hell out it saying it's an Overwatch killer. I'm definitely down to play and play as my favorite.

STORM. ❄️💨🌊⚡

There's a closed beta in July on consoles but I doubt I'll be able to get in.

InUrFoxHole20h ago

In overwatch 's defense didn't it kill itself?

Michiel198917h ago

they also gave out beta keys where you had to sign an nda not to say anything negative about the game, otherwise you could not play. Don't support stuff like that :) surprised they even showed it here cause it looks terrible and it will fail faster than Artifact
