i think you missed that psvr comes to pc.

I never made those statement. I said the ability to replay flat games doesn't sell hardware. Just like no one went out and bought a quest to play half-life 1 or doom 3

there is definitely a place for hybrids but its not for selling hardware@@tb1235

I did it with RE 4 VR. And since I just beat in it VR, I saw no reason to even bother with the new remake. It won't beat playing it in VR.

@@BlakeBlackstonethe remake is also playable in vr now with much better visuals than the original

That or a port of the 1st one atleast , I don't understand why they couldn't just enable them to work even without graphical overhauls etc

There are more, but Astrobot and Blood & Truth are two games I would love to see remade and/or get a sequel. But Sony just seem to have lost all interest in supporting the PSVR2.

Astrobot 2 will be announced or even released this year.

Astrobot, Wipeout and other games would help a lot. But especially Astrobot. Or playing flatscreen titles in on a virtual 3d screen. Seeing Ghost of Tsushima in 2d in PSVR2 was quite disappointing.

Does the psvr2 seem blurry to you? I might have to adjust something.

@@jeffghant4760 PSVR2 is the least blurry out of all of my headsets. Buy the global cluster headstrap. Makes a world of difference.

@jeffghant4760 not anymore, but it did at first. Found out I had the sweet spot a little off, and even a little off centered messes with the clarity. One big downside of fresnel lenses.

@match30xgaming haven't tried that one yet, been mostly messing with Pavlov and Contractors on my Quest.

@@ThatDorkyReviewShow Haa, I think most people do 😂 I know some people that are actually paralyzed by choice and never pull the trigger. They miss out on the entire experience because of over-analyzing.

Identifying emotionally with consumer product engagement is a recipe for unhappiness fr though. looking for validation of that though online videos just makes it worse. That's not a knock on Mattao311's content, which is nicely produced and engaging.

I bought both PSVR2 and Quest 3 and was going to return the one I didn't like. Quest 3 went back. I must mention I have a sim racing chair setup and Gran Turismo 7 with worth $1K alone! No PCVR game can beat GT7. That and Pavlov is so less janky and so is Breachers.

This is the exception not the norm

@Gamingwithmatteo311 yes it is but it should be the norm as it is better. If in this matter we stick to ground realities then we all will be playing games like gorilla tag instead of re4 remake. We should be rooting and striving towards the best quality. Without psvr2 that wont be possible and we hope sony starts talking about their plans

don't forget skyrim VR with mods....it is so...immersive (with mods)

Let's see what happens a year from now

I just don't understand where this idea is coming from. It's not going to happen. First of all, it wouldn't run in VR. Digital Foundry are basically betting that GTA 6 is going to run at 30 fps at far lower than max resolution on PS5 flat. There's no way to even get it to a stable 60 fps to reproject to 120 at an acceptable framerate. Even if they could make it run, Rockstar isn't going to waste their time with VR. GTA 5 measures its revenue in the BILLIONS, and GTA 6 is likely to be even bigger. The entire VR market is tiny compared to the market Rockstar is targeting with GTA 6 (and the PSVR 2, sad to say, is a small fraction of the VR market). Say it would take a team of 20 people 8 months of work to port GTA 6 to PSVR 2 (a very VERY low estimate), Rockstar would make more money if they had those 20 people spend those 8 months working on DLC or other content they could sell to the flat audience instead. And Sony literally couldn't afford to pay them enough to make it worth their while to do a VR port. It's. Just. Not. Going. To. Happen.

GTA 6 is definitely going to be in VR... on PC unofficially by the community.

I keep hearing this. The wait for me to upgrade to a Quest 3 is killing me haha.

@@NinjaGuyVR Don’t worry, the Quest 2 is by no means unplayable! The Quest 3 was a fat chunk of change so I just got the headset with no battery head straps or anything so whenever it dies I still hop back over to my Quest 2 and the transition is fine but definitely noticeable. The Quest 3 is a clearer more fluid version of the Quest 3. It definitely isn’t some massively huge upgrade, it’s just like being in a fog for so long and suddenly coming back to clarity and forgetting what clarity was supposed to be 😂 And the tracking is definitely smoother and controllers fit better in my hands personally. I’m 6’4” with giant hands and these little controllers feel great to me. The tracking is definitely improved though. I play a lot of Population:One and noticed I wasn’t needing to move my wrists as much to control recoil properly. The smallest movements are picked up by the tracking so you don’t have to put as much emphasize in your movements anymore. Same thing with reloading. I didn’t feel like my motions had to be so exaggerated anymore in order for them to work. I could move at a smoother pace and have it track very well. I’m excited for you to get yours! But like I said, it isn’t a massive jump in experience like going to PCVR, it’s just the next stepping stone forward, but it’s a great step forward!

Same dude. I still have my Quest 2 and use it from time to time to compare and the Quest 3 is way sharper. It's mainly due to the pancake lens as it has a way bigger zone where the visuals stay clean and crisp. The Quest 3 is like putting on prescription glasses for someone with poor vision and using the Quest 2 is now like taking those glasses off and having blurry vision in comparison. Enjoy!

I will give quest3 a try someday. So many youtubers were comparing quest2 as a better alternative to psvr2 prior to quest3. I ended up buying q2 but it was so uncomfortable and bad looking that i returned it i 2 days. Now youtubers are pointing out that pancake changes the game completely so i will give it a shot. But psvr2 looks very clear and good to me when the game is optimized. Quest2 was very ugly and washed out colors

@@waleedisnowagamecatspecifi1499 I've never tried the PSVR but I play PCVR via my gaming rig with an RTX 3080 which is a bit faster than a PS5 so I kinda get the best of both worlds in a sense. VR still has a lot of refinement to get to the point where mainstream consoles are. We are essentially in the Super Nintendo days of VR at the moment but it's moving quickly. Try getting an elite strap for comfort. I have the Zyber one but Kiwi also makes super comfortable straps.

It's not the launch window for Quest 2 and that's even higher.

So far games are extremely limited and no pc connections

@@Gamingwithmatteo311 are there any controls it talk about eventually adding controllers and games lie super hot vr etc I'm trying to understand what they think they are doing 😂

Still waiting on mine

i'm curious on your opinion, just trying to figure out which headset to upgrade for teathered pcvr@@Gamingwithmatteo311

I agree we all feel that way and hybrid games are awesome but the important factor you miss is they aren't selling the hardware. It's not what Sony needs now. It's not about my opinion it's about sales. Your gt 7 example aligns percently. People already bought the hardware because it was new and then they needed something to play. It's not they bought the psvr 2 because gt7 became a vr game.

I agree with you that it seems like the hardware sales is lacking but I don't think it's due to a lack of games but a lack of marketing from Sony. I recall when the PSVR 1 was being launched, it had frequent ads, a lot of game stores allowed you to try it in person. Then contrast that with the PSVR 2 whereas at launch depending on your location, it was only available from sony's website robbing you the chance of encountering by walking into a store. There were no dedicated events solely to VR, the online adverts seemed lacking, they could have paid massive youtubers and streamers to promote their new device but barely did it. Now when I speak with the average playstation owner they're not aware of the PSVR 2 but are familiar with the PSVR 1. Every person I allowed to try my PSVR 2 headset to play GT 7 or Horizon, lost their minds at but sadly for most people they aren't aware of it.

In Sony's defense meta doesn't sell solo controllers either but it should be warrantied. Combine that with the no game return policy, ugh

I hope Sony does this, but it's not quite as cheap or easy as you may think. It took Capcom 9+ months to port RE4 Remake to PSVR 2. Their engine already supports PSVR 2, and they had gameplay code from RE8 that they could re-use. Despite all that, RE4 Remake doesn't actually have as many VR interactions as RE8 (you don't physically open doors or drawers/cupboards), and it still took 9+ months. Lots of people point to UEVR and say "See? Porting flat games to VR is easy!" without acknowledging all the jank and lack of interactivity. If Sony released a VR port at that level, they'd be ripped to shreds (and rightly so). We also don't even know if Sony's in-house game engines (Decima, Insomniac's engine, Suckerpunch's engine, Naughty Dog's engine, SSM's engine etc.) support VR. The only first-party studios I know of at Sony that for sure use a VR ready engine are Housemarque (Returnal) and Firesprite (Horizon Call of the Mountain).

@GreyMatterShades Absolutely. I was more saying it's likely going to be faster, less expensive, and less risky than the developing new IP and games from scratch. Quickly building up a large library of well known games with just the occasional new exclusive seems like the first needed step at this point. Time is short before people start bailing on the platform.

@@brettcameratraveler Ah, I get what you're saying, and I totally agree. Porting flat games is the cheapest and easiest way to get triple-A games into VR, so I hope they do it as much as they can. That said, I think spinoffs like Horizon Call of the Mountain are also cheaper than building a game from scratch, and they are a better way to sell the headset because they offer unique experiences in well known franchises. But they are more expensive and take more time to make than VR ports, so we'll naturally get fewer of them. I just hope Sony is working on some.

There are plenty of things I can add like lack or software returns but I didn't get into it too deeply

Do you have any stats to back this up?

@@Gamingwithmatteo311 what episode?

@nightblade1102 oh man that was awhile back before December but we discussed it again last thursday

From what I've heard daily active players on asgard 2 is insanely high but this was a free q3 title so everything is skewed. Meta wasn't looking to make money on this one, it's more for promotion

I played AW2 basically every day for a month and I finally beat it. It was definitely an insanely good game. But yeah it was included with the Quest 3, so tracking sales of the game itself won't show you how many are playing or loving it.

@@toddgraves3447 I haven't finished because I just keep playing the uncharted rifts

@Gamingwithmatteo311 yeah I was the opposite. I got into the uncharted rift a bit, but I barely touched it overall because I was focusing on the story. I'm probably going to play a bit more of the rift now.

Unfortunately devs have been saying Sony is no longer finding third party titles

Yeah watching you try to explain that to everyone is rough, man. I try my best to help, but some people just don't want to face the reality of how the headset is doing right now. And I get it. For my part, I've been expressing some of these concerns since before launch. I don't even own a PSVR 2, which is insane since PSVR 1 singlehandedly reinvigorated my love of gaming and I own more games for it than any other game system except PC. Sony's lack of commitment to it is the main thing that made me hold off. I wanted to see what they had to show for a second wave of first-party software. Now I'm not even sure that second wave will ever come. 😿

wireless isnt a sure thing and most ps5 are wireless themselves and that is never good for vr, i always wire my quest 3 to my pc because my router is too far away, wireless is always bad on my quest so it makes sense.

Pancake lenses and the OLED displays wouldn’t play nicely and making the headset wireless would have significant increased the cost and weight and stuff.

Sony's strategy seems to be mostly built around hybrid games like GT7 and the Resident Evil titles. Those sorts of games encourage longer play sessions, so user comfort is very important. Making the headset wireless would have meant extra hardware in the headset, plus a battery, which would all increase the headset's weight and the amount of heat it produces. Also both of those options (wireless and pancake lenses) would have increased the cost of the headset, which people say is too expensive already.

​@@Deadlines-Xyou don't make any sense

I've had PSVR2 since day one and it's jaw-dropping and next generation VR and worth every penny

@@mrreefer6792 no argument there. I honestly don't understand that there are so many people out there who have never even tried vr.

PSVR2's terribly small sweet spot, CABLE(in 2023...Baffling), Giant rings surrounding the controllers, nasty OLED mura & god rays, Bulky front visor, discomfort around the nose area due to the lack of padding, no colour pass through or any unique VR Eco system really hurt it. Sure, the Quest 3's black levels, Colours and horse power can't compete. Even it's controller haptics aren't in the same ball park, and it doesn't include adaptive triggers either. Regardless, Quest 3 does everything else better. I wish i could magically connect my Quest 3 wirelessly to my PS5 and just use that to play PSVR2 exclusives and whatever else. :P I'd get a wide sweet spot, pancake clarity, buttery smooth CRT-like motion, no mura or god rays, minimal glare, NO cable, no ring'd controllers and it's easily more comfortable. I'll gladly sacrifice black levels and Colour for now, until Meta releases Quest Pro 2 in 2025 with a micro-oled display. ;)

@80sHolic7 everything about the Q3 aa far as VR gaming goes is beneath the PSVR2.... I've never had any issue with getting a great immersing experience with my PSVR2, must be a personal thing (just sayin) maybe you don't know how to properly set it up and calibrate it....the games aren't up to par with PSVR2 games either and the immersion isn't as good Q3 doesn't even have foveated viewing or haptic feedback....I've never experienced discomfort wearing the PSVR2 either nor has anyone I let try mine.....not to mention PSVR2 has already got the "Golden Joystick" award

Its not possible

Sorry if I missed it, a 2070 will run vr pretty well. Personally I look for 2080 or better but you can upgrade down the road. How much is the pc, I hope it's real cheap

I've been doing RTX 2070 Super and I'm not running into any issues at all :) you should be good to go for PCVR gaming.

It's few and far between. Psvr2 allows for optimization pc just can't offer due to having random hardware out there. Only a few devs account for this

Some might say that "No Man's Sky" is better and while I do agree on the stability arguments, it is stability in 60FPS, which is nauseating.

Sony makes money off games, not hardware. They'd make zero money off PC VR game sales, so it's of no advantage for their hardware to work on that platform. The only way they'd want to sell PSVR 2 on PC is if they wanted to liquidate stock.

If its AAA experiences you want, psvr2 is currently winning in that department

Thanks for the support. I'm happy to help any way possible

It's Q2C VR. It's an older episode from months ago though, not sure which one.

Completely agree.

this is what we need

Yes on Quest, but often cut down version as the PSVR2 get the better version. Quest is mobile phone tech so limited on what it can do.

I agree with the frustration, and it's doubled imo in the case of PSVR 2 because Sony themselves hamstrung it right from launch. They decided at launch it'd be a good idea to exclusively sell it through their own obscure website (Playstation Direct) in most of the major gaming markets. You couldn't buy one at a Best Buy or Walmart or off Amazon in the US for MONTHS after launch. Add to that a "marketing campaign" that's alternated between piss-poor and non-existent, and the complete refusal from anyone at the company to actually make any sort of statement that they plan on supporting it long term. It's sort of a miracle it's sold as many units as it has, considering the utterly incompetent handling from Sony. That said, I disagree somewhat about PSVR 1 being abandoned too quick. Sony developed and released games for PSVR 1 for around 3 years, then continued to fund VR titles from third-parties for it well into its 6th year on the market. Sony is the reason Moss Book 2 launched exclusively for PSVR 1, same with Hitman 3 and Iron Man. As for your point about Sony being hypocrites, you're being ridiculous. There's a huge difference between paying for a single game to be exclusive, and buying an entire company and making ALL of their games exclusive; and an even bigger difference between that and buying literally the OLDEST AND BIGGEST PUBLISHER in videogames, with all their studios and IP. And what does Sony not porting their PSVR 1 games to PSVR 2 have anything to do with this? They're Sony's games, they can port them if they want (I think they should, but it's irrelevant to the MS/ABK deal). As for RE4 Remake, Sony paid for Capcom to port it to VR. Why shouldn't they get exclusivity? Look at it the other way, if Sony couldn't make RE4 Remake exclusive to PSVR 2, do you think they'd pay Capcom to port it? I doubt it. They wanted it to be a selling point for PSVR 2, that's why they paid for it. Also if the RE8 or RE4 Remake deals are anything like the deal for the RE7 VR port to PSVR 1, it'll be exclusive for 1 year, then Capcom won't bother porting it anywhere else because it can't run on a Quest, and nobody on the PC VR side is going to pay them for a port. Between the different types of headsets and the practically infinite variations of PC hardware, porting to PC is a technical nightmare, and Capcom just isn't interested in all that hassle for a market as small as PC VR. They wouldn't be interested for PSVR 2 either if Sony wasn't footing the bill.

That's just means you're really young. RE4 has been ported as many times as Skyrim

I agree they need hybrids (flat and VR games), and that it needs a price cut, but I disagree on a few points. First of all, I think Matteo is right in saying hybrids don't sell hardware, especially when they are launching 9 months after the flat version comes out. People who haven't tried VR just don't understand why they should pay hundreds of dollars for an accessory just to play a game they can already play on their PS5. They don't understand the benefits VR brings, and they aren't excited to go back and play a game they've probably already played and beaten and/or got bored of months ago. I think spinoff games like Horizon Call of the Mountain are more likely to sell hardware. As for the Unreal Engine mod, that's not giving developers anything new. All it does is turn on all the VR options that already exist in the engine for games that didn't enable them. The actual developers already have access to all of those VR tools and options, and more. Most major game engines are already VR ready (and have been for years), and yet most flat developers never even think to port their games to VR. UEVR is for VR players who want to play flat games in VR, it isn't for game developers to add VR to their flat games, as they can already do that (they just don't). As for PSVR 2 running on PC, I'm not holding my breath. Yes it would sell some hardware, but not a ton. The PC VR market isn't that big, and most people would choose a Quest 3 over PSVR 2 due to the pancake lenses, higher resolution, and the option of wireless play. That's especially true since PC VR games aren't built to take advantage of the PSVR 2's unique features (few PC VR games support eye-tracking, and none support headset haptics or adaptive triggers). Beyond that, Sony only wants to sell PSVR 2's that are going to be used exclusively through PS5's because that way they can make money on every game that person buys. Sony doesn't make money on their hardware, they make money on game sales. They get 100% of the revenue from first-party games and around a 30% cut of every third-party game bought for PS5/PSVR 2. Even if they ported their two PSVR 2 games to PC, they'd only get 70% of the revenue from them (30% would go to Steam or Epic or whoever's digital marketplace they were sold through), and they'd get nothing from third-party game sales. It's not about the number of units you sell, it's about how you can monetize the units you sell.

@@GreyMatterShades Yes. I see your point. The economics of the PS VR2 a chicken and egg proposition regarding VR unit sales. Sony needs great VR games to sell PS VR2 units, but a studio doesn't want to put hundreds of millions of dollars into developing a AAA game that only appeals to a small group of VR users. So, developing great AAA games that are VR only is not economically viable. A top game released on day one with both flat-screen and VR would allow for big sales to both groups. PS VR2 owners might likely be swayed to purchase a game that they might not otherwise buy because it supports VR. Over time, the VR library would build up and make a PS VR2 more appealing, I believe. VR is still pretty new and not too heavy in ownership compared to total consoles out there. How do people get into VR? I don't think any single game or a package of games does it to get someone to drop $550 for a headset. Obviously, there are early adopters of new tech who get into it. For heavier sales, this will come with a volume of great games and other content. I played Resident Evil Village in flat-screen and will likely go back and play it in VR. I also purchased Resident Evil 4 remake after the VR feature was added. I think a flat-screen player would decide to play a game in VR again after they get a headset. I believe Sony views the PS VR2 as an addition that helps sell consoles and possibly exclusive games. It is part of the comprehensive PlayStation experience. I am aware of what the Unreal Engine mod does. Guys who have turned it on say that older games come to life in VR. What this mod taught me, like you mention, is that the Unreal Engine already supports VR natively. I worried early on that VR development was a whole new thing compared to flat-screen development. I can see that a relatively smaller budget spent on a big game could turn on the VR feature. A friend asked today about which VR unit to get. I have watched a half dozen videos that compare the Quest 3 to the PS VR2. The consensus is that the Quest 3 looks sharper with the pancake lenses but the screen on the PS VR2 make the colors and contrast very good. The haptic feedback on the PS VR2 makes it more immersive. The PS VR2 also has eye tracking which the Quest 3 does not. There is more content for the Quest 3. I love the PS VR2 but recommended the Quest 3. I told him that he should only consider the PS VR2 if he also wants a PS5 and the Sony exclusives. I have thought about also getting a Quest 3, but I want to own a next-generation of VR unit. I am interested in the Pimax 6k when it comes out. I need to see if the Apple Vision Pro will have content that makes it a must have. In the end, content is king. Technology is secondary.

You buying an apple headset? Probably not lol

Vision Pro isn’t VR and the average person isn’t dropping $3500 all the headset.

@@lorddrifter7296 He probably will when they release version 2 or 3.

@@steffendetrick once I see reviews for it, plus see its ability to play nicely with steam VR, I’d buy one. Those screens alone would make almost everything I currently play on VR much better. I do lots of driving sims, around 25 hours a week in VR, so definitely would get my monies worth since you can’t use PSVR2 on PC and I don’t feel like upgrading my quest 2 to a 3 if Apple can prove it’s worth

We can't officially just yet but it doesn't make a huge difference overall

​@@Gamingwithmatteo311 I saw some videos here on KZfaq, are they fake?? They say you can plug it in and play it on your PC as if it were a PCVR. I'm becoming more and more interested in the Pico4, it seems like a good mid-range VR set, all included. I own a PS5 and a PC, but I can't decide what to buy, a difficult choice. The thing I fear the most is the MURA effect, I would ban Sony just for this. Quest 3 requires too many accessories, too heavy I suppose, too many money imho. Pico 4 is versatile (300 grams), you can use it wi-fi, on your PC or directly to the router via ethernet. You can play the Ps5 game with remote play, the sidequest seems to work too, you can reload it while playing, it has mixed reality. I am going crazy. What would you do? My goal is to play upcoming FPS games like Unrecord and Bodycam on Steam and some non-native VR games. Mostly as PC VR, but keep in mind I also own a PS5. I'm sorry to bother you, but you seem so nice and I wrote everything that was on my mind LoL Thanks Matteo....are you Italian??? Love and respect from Italy, Bro!!!!

I thought I wouldn’t mind the wire, except for fitness/music games where it might get into the way. But even in seated games, the touch of the wire against my body breaks the immersion for me. I’m still very happy with the PSVR2, but I’d prefer it wireless with a battery!
