We were gifted a quest 2 for free by friends of my wife and that makes it the best value VR of them all, imo. It definitely got more miles on it than the PSVR did.

I watched Nextlander’s video on them setting up and demoing the VR2 and it looks like a tenfold improvement over the original one. Seems like great tech and fidelity for the price point. Ngl I’m not a big VR guy but that Horizon game alone made me kinda wanna be inside that headset.

Macichne Leainig posted:I don't love the earbuds on the PSVR2 but I'm not quite sure I'm sold on something like the Pulse 3D headset. Anyone used both the VR headset and the 3D wireless headset at the same time, with glasses? Is it super uncomfortable? I can’t speak to the Pulse, but I have been playing with an Arctix Nova 7X and it fits great, not too heavy or bulky.

I'm using both without glasses, but I can say so far I've always tried to take the headset off forgetting my pulse3D set is on and either they or the headset falls off. When using the built in earbuds they just come out of your ears when you take the headset off which is really nice.

Rookie question: I have a senior family member with my old PS4, under my current user login, and they play the hell out of Everybody's Golf (digital download). They have to hold the record for most hours played. I recently purchased a PS5 and am using that same current user login. They are curious what the game load times look like on the PS5. My question is what happens if I try to download the game to my PS5? Will it somehow block them from playing it on their PS4, or erase achievements? The last thing I want to do is block them from playing their favorite game.

Hughmoris posted:Rookie question: No, you can have a primary ps4 and a primary ps5 linked to the same PSN account and everything works fine. You will possibly end up loving with their save data though if they have cloud saves turned on, so be careful of that I guess. Does it support multiple saves? And if you unlock any trophies it’ll unlock for them too since it’s on the same account, if you don’t wanna interfere with any possible mission they might be on to collect trophies.

I'd rather play tethered higher quality AAA titles over the quest 2's smartphone SOC-based games, but that's just me - tethered vs AiO is a pretty big trade-off. Beat Saber is fun, though. I'm sure it will come to PSVR2 eventually. I lent my Quest 2 to my friend's kids, and they enjoyed it for a few weeks before it started gathering dust. I'm just a man child dink who plays with his toys more at home than on the go nowadays, and will gladly sell my Quest 2 + Battery Pack to re-coup most of the cost of my PSVR2 - I feel like the Quest 2's hardware limitations will prevent things like RE4 remake from coming to it.

Ok I got pretty sick playing RE8 this morning. This being my first VR experience I’m not used to it at all. I was playing it standing and doing fine for a while but a) it is SO loving REAL and b) it is very very very scary. I knew that old guy was behind there. Come on. (I’ve played it twice). Scared the living poo poo out of me. Having a very real looking person point a gun at me is an odd uncanny valley type deal too. Really didn’t expect it to feel so visceral. And the entire town is so rich with detail and darkness it totally completely captivates the mind’s reality centers. So I was in it deep. But I wonder if the adrenaline was making my vestibular system freak out a bit and before I knew it I was getting unsteady on my feet and nauseated. I took a break and laid down in bed next to my wife and my brain just couldn’t figure out I was back in normal land without a headset on for a few minutes. It was so discombobulating. Like, you ever ski or canoe all day and at the end of the day you lie down and you still feel like you have skis on your feet, or the boats still rocking? That’s what was happening to me. What’s that all about? How does one play through a game as long as RE8 in VR? There any ways to mitigate this VR sickness or help me get used to it? It’s like space adaptation syndrome that astronauts have. Aiming at the bad guys is loads easier than it ever was on a controller, really cool natural aiming. Panicking and forgetting how to charge a Glock then dying with a full clip, however, is not cool.

You can even do it wirelessly with the right setup, no cables needed! I think we used it stand-alone like once or twice, the rest of the time it was connected to a computer to play something fancier than a mobile game.

The REAL Goobusters posted:The game that kept getting better the more I played it. Had the same experience. Was rather nonplussed for the first few hours but the late game Jotenheim, Muspelheim, and Vanaheim sections along with the Asgard boss battles were full-blown psychedelic madness. Honestly felt like a Jack Kirby comic come to life.

Kazzah posted:Aw, welcome back! PSVR2 chat has mostly been happening in the dedicated thread. Sa-weeeeet, I'll give it a peek. Very interested in seeing impressions now that it's out in the wild! BeanpolePeckerwood posted:Oh drat, long time no see Likewise! So glad to see some familiar names still! suuma posted:Finished Yakuza 0 today. They so nailed everything about that game. It left such an impression on me that I've been chasing that perfect combo of story and gameplay with every subsequent RGG game and they keep messing with the ratios and nothing gives me the fix the way Y0 did. Won't stop me from diving into LAD: Ishin!, though! Thundercracker posted:I'm very curious how well Armored Core VI is going to do. Not to be gatekeeping but it was very curious to be how everyone screamed their heads off at the Game Awards when it was always a super niche game and the all streamers got super hyped. I think it's great and this could be FROM's monster hunter world. As someone who had to do PR for AC games back at the tail end of the 20th century, it's truly insane to see FromSoft rejigger the same series they've been making for decades in a way that doesn't betray the original intent but packages it up with a level of polish and competence that gets waaaaaaay more people on board. Armored Core was already starting to approach that with the last couple games getting a little more action-y and less I-am-the-lord-of-the-basement-model-builders-and-this-is-MY-gaming-kink in the weeds on building The Spergiest Mech, but it does sound like they're still taking the same "honor the original intent but make it more palatable to the masses" approach that turned King's Field into Soulsborne stuff, so best of luck to 'em.

Yeah, Beat Saber's already been announced, and Synth Riders definitely scratches the itch for the time being. I skipped the initial SR release, so I have a shitton of tracks to play through now; that and Pistol Whip will satisfy my need for VR Beatz 'n Pew-Pews.

Blind Rasputin posted:Ok I got pretty sick playing RE8 this morning. baby steps really. I got real sick when I first started playing VR espcially in any games where you move yourself around and it took me about a week to get over it, but I was good after that to play virtually anything at any speed (with some exceptions. I still use snap movement to this day in most games) Basically what you need to do is the second you start feeling off, just quit the game and either do something else or play a static game that is going to be less prone to making you motion sick. Then return to the game once the feeling wears off. Basically don't let it go to far to the point where you actually feel outright nauseous, because then you are stuck recovering from that and it'll make returning less appealing. At first I had to play stuff in 10-15 minute bursts and after a few days it was taking me more like an hour before I started to feel woozy. Within a week I was fine to play for long sessions with no motion sickness. Also don't sleep on the comfort options. I noticed RE8 and Horizon both have a ton of them. I would avoid teleporting though. It's a crutch that makes games feel like poo poo to play. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 18:32 on Feb 23, 2023 |

Blind Rasputin posted:Ok I got pretty sick playing RE8 this morning. No I know exactly what you mean. To be frank jumping straight into re8 was probably a little too intense (and I don't mean scare factor). You need to try some stuff a little more simple and cartoon like job simulator or what the bat. You will get that 'what is real' feeling at least for the next few sessions so baby steps. 30 minutes or so.

You can even do it wirelessly with the right setup, no cables needed! Fair enough - my PC is ~6 years old and I'm a console gamer first and foremost, so AAA quality games are largely purchased on my PS5 over my PC/Steam Deck. The better dual sense VR controllers, foveating rendering/eye tracking, and PS5 exclusive games are more for me. Corb3t fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Feb 23, 2023 |

Not sure about the multiple/cloud saves stuff, so I'll have to look into that. From what I can gather after searching the web, Everybody's Golf load times do get significantly better on the PS5. I could see that making sense since the game was developed for the PS4 and they likely didn't utilize techniques to take advance of the hardware advances.

Blind Rasputin posted:Ok I got pretty sick playing RE8 this morning. One thing that helps with motion sickness is moving your legs a bit as you move in game. You can even just flex your legs and you get the same effect, it just helps your body be more ok with the sensation of moving without actually moving. Does the headset seem comfortable for long periods of time? That's always been the biggest hurdle for VR for me, you've got these experiences that are sometimes as long as flat games but wearing a big rear end headset on your head for any more than 30 minutes at a time is an ordeal.

It's very comfortable and light overall. Have you used PSVR1 or Rift S? It's similar. Way more comfortable than a Quest which feels like a brick on your head after a while.

I’ve been having my share of day one technical issues with PSVR2 but headset comfort is fantastic. I wore it for a few hours with no issues. The built-in fan helps a lot and it’s lightweight.

I ran into something odd that I'm trying to figure out. No Man's Sky was a PS plus title a while back, right? I have it on disc, but it was also listed as in my library and I could have sworn I had it from plus. I was able to select it and Download/update it without using the disc just fine, so presumedly I have it digitally, right? When I try to boot it up it wont launch until I put the disc in though which is annoying. How do I check if I actually own it digitally? Did I pick the wrong license or somehow? Is there something I'm missing here?
