I spent $650 on PlayStation VR 2 and i'm not sure why... 

Super hot VR is hands down my favorite VR game. Legit feels like Matrix the game

​@@Lottofatto John

How does it suck to play with headphones wtf

probly contractors i have a quest 2

i know a game you would love hope you see this coment its breth of the wild vr its in vr chat this guy made the world and the animations are asome you would love it its in vrchat

I agree. Ive owned the original Vive and the Index, this one blows them out of the water in terms of blocking light

True

If it’s anything like psvr1 ima take it off because it really hurts after like a hour

And not only that, this is the first headset that doesn't hurt my face due to that design choice, and I think that was the other thing they had in mind when designing it. Think about all the other headsets and how they have thicker material you have to really push up against your face to block out the light, so after some time your face starts hurting. This one is way more comfortable with the way it sits higher up on your forehead and nothing pressing against the face, fantastic design!

Also, if you wear glasses, it's an absolute blessing.

Damn....can you buy me one?

​​@@retrogamerz_bmfl9941 My cheap version: Refurbished G29 + Amazon wheel/pedal stand + My dining room chair lol.

lol classic sim racing tale. One minute you holding a controller next your in a full blown VR motion sim ahahaha.. it's ok! First step is coming to grip with your problem. Naw but no BS it become an expensive hobby lol

@@scottd7222 Much cheaper then buying and upgrading real cars lol. I just turned 40 and I’m trying to turn the page on that stage of my life. vr sim racing is cheap in comparison and I get to drive way more cars lol. The tricky part was talking my wife into letting me get it. That’s why I went for something portable. If I really get into sim racing I could see myself getting something a little more substantial in the future. I’m really impressed with the stuff I have now but I have zero context to what good stuff is. I just went with some good reviewed mid level stuff that I could get in two days. Went with the Thrustmaster t-gt ii, TH8A shifter and t-gt light. I fold down two parts of it and it goes right into our pantry where the deep freeze used to go.

Almost the same, but slightly cheaper )) I guess because I 38)))

The playstation vr (and now 2) is the most forward-pushing and revolutionary headset you can buy. They are changing the entire market and the future of VR. It's a well-worth purchase and I highly recommend getting it because they are bringing top-quality games to it and will continue to make them. In all reality, software updates and the games make a VR headset real, not the hardware. Although the hardware is very good, the games make the price very bearable.

The reason why its uncomfortable for him is because the rear of the halo band is almost parallel to the front of the headset. The rear of the halo band should be lower so it can distribute the weight correctly. From watching the vid its most likely due to his man bun, he could style his bun a little higher so the rear of the halo band can actually rest in the lower part of the back of the head.

It’s really comfortable, this kid is wearing it wrong. Just follow the setup instructions, it’s not hard.

@@drgonzo696 Comfort ist okay..its more expensive but you get something for the extra money. Feedback HDR and Eyetracking. I find that complaint strange like it would do nothing better than the Quest 2.

@@Filip10101 I think there's a psychological thing around the fact that the headset costs more than the console, and therefore people think it's expensive rather than actually assessing what the competitors in the market are offering at that price.

I did wonder! I never bought anything VR because I suffer with motion sickness. I would love to give it a go, but paying for something I may not be able to use is a real risk, so good to know they are trying to help with that.

@@charliefen my first VR experience was playing Gorn (which has very physical gesture locomotion) and Space Pirate Trainer (which has no locomotion at all) on a friend's Vive for months. It wasn't until I got my own and tried Skyrim VR that I ever got motion sick. The games and locomotion mode you pick are a huge factor in how you feel in VR.

@@iampinbacker I would love to give it a go, but game stores are disappearing where I am (one of the few times where online isn’t better) and so no way of trying. I don’t think VR has taken off much in the UK, as I know no one with it either!

@@charliefen I’m motion Sick too but this headset is great, I do feel sick after a bunch of climbing in the game but the rest of the time I’m fine

@@charliefen so I can't play 1st person shooters caz I get sick. I was worried about VR. I wound up going to a fancy new arcade place like Dave and Busters but better and they had Star Wars VR. It was the best gaming experience I've ever had. It moved with me and everything and was very accurate with my movements.

Yeah, im selling mine after owning it for 2 weeks lol

​@@iflyrcmike I can't imagine having a cord.

Love mine as well. Also love my meta quest pro. I don’t need 5000 games to like and keep something. I never look at price,just if I enjoy it or not.

Send me one free I'm broke

I don’t even have a PS5 😢

Trust me VR is the most fun gaming I had ever had in my 30 years gaming. I still play flatscreen but that is not as fun as in vr since you have full range of movement bringing gameplay to the next level without having to mess with buttons configuration too much

Plus Quest 2 is cheapest gaming device in general since you not only have full vr experience but with all the built in for a standalone headset.

@@toututu2993 Well if VR was the most fun, I guess you haven't tried to play an AR, (Augmented Reality) game. So much better as you can still see your environment.

if you're looking into VR, I suggest waiting to see what happens with the Meta quest 3. Maybe the prices for meta quest 2 will go down, or you can snag a used unit for cheap. Just get yourself a replacement face mold and you'll be golden.

@@jeffreyjohnson5823 VR and AR are completely different topics. In VR you are completely enclosed in a virtual world similar to a 2D flat game. That's what most gamers want not to see their reality but fantastic, immersive worlds with fun gameplay mechanics. AR is dependent on reality e. g. playing a board game down-scaled diorama battle chess or augmenting your flat with objects and wall textures, but very limited in terms of a certain environment if you think of a big first-person game like Resident Evil or Horizon, which would not be possible or fun in AR.

@@MrGamecatCanaveral i have over 50 hours in Pavlov haha

Pavlov isn't out yet where I live....

Is it really that good?

Feel the same way bro

Will they release gun controller?

That was gonna be my question, can I use my 3D pulse headphones instead, thanks for the info doggie

Yes i did the same sounds great works well with headset

@Jj on top of the ps5 that’s 550 more 😂

​@@johnnypitviperwallace5908 I believe you can use almost any headphones

Medical grade…?

Bruh why so offended

Mura Simulator 2

The earbuds actually sound good. They're turned down to 50% out of the box.

Yeah but they’re earbuds. Earbuds feel cheaper then headsets.

I have the VR2 and I noticed that I have less motion sickness if I try to orient my body in the direction I need to be looking. I’ve got Horizon and if I change direction with just the sticks I will get sick. If I adjust how I’m standing it works better.

RE 4 already has one on the Quest 2, it's very good

​​@@Jack70M He's talking about RE4 remake for the PSVR2

@@michaeljohn5130 I know I was just saying there was already a VR RE 4

​@@Jack70M it's the same thing in the end! One will just have better graphics then the other but I'd much rather stick with the quest!

Quest had an exclusivity for RE4, the remake version isn’t expected to be the actual full game. It’s still unknown what exactly it will be. Probably more tech demo than full game experience.

yea I'm so confuses about people complaining about price. It's plug and play. PSVR1 you needed to buy the move controllers and Camera separately and it was outdated on arrival. This is 600 dollars for top end VR.

@@scottd7222 That is the thing, and then they also bemoan the fact that it has a cable connected to the PS5, but they do not tell us how big of a battery they would be willing to except in a wireless PSVR2 that could power it for meaningful lengths of play time before a recharge is required, it would need to be a very powerful battery. Then there is the unknown effects of attaching a high powered wireless streaming VR headset to your head for several hours while you play a game streamed from the PS5, there is still a thing about holding mobile phones to your head for long periods of time, I just think a thin cable tethered to the headset is the best and safest option until battery technology makes a big leap forward.

@@techinfusions NON IONIZING RADIATING IS SAFE. Aka wifi signals and other radio signals. The real reason for the cable is because you just cant pump a 4k image at 120 FPS with HDR and all the data about the position of the controllers, headset, eye tracking, etc through wireless. I mean you could technically run some VR headsets wireless, but you really need god tier wifi and even then you will suffer from compressed video signals that won’t look as nice. Most people wouldn’t have the wifi infrastructure to support even a blocky, artifacty video signal. Sony wants to make sure everyone has a good baseline level of experience and thats why I believe they went wireless. Battery Is easy to solve, as you can add a battery to get 2 hours or so of battery life that doesn’t take up much space or weigh a lot, and because its VR most people have to take a break after 30 minutes to an hour anyway. So real reason for cable is to send all that high resolution video at 120 frames per second with no latency.

Higher resolution than the quest 2 as well

The rear of the halo band should be lower so it can distribute the weight correctly.

Did you have the first psvr? And if yes how much of a difference in field of view and clarity do you notice?

@@catcrapinahat yes I did/do. The PSVR 1 was a lot of fun and Sony did a good job with what they were working with. It was far from perfect. But there is no comparison to a PSVR 2. I’m amazed at the quality. A lot of naysayers are either expecting a holodeck or are VR enthusiasts/reviewers who have to find something to nitpick. The psvr2 isn’t perfect by any means, but it has exceeded my expectations by a fairly large margin.

@@renta5177 thanks for the honest reply, I very much enjoy the psvr but the blurriness and small fov were my biggest problems with the system. I am strongly considering getting the psvr2 and hoping it was a big enough step up to be worth it.

@@catcrapinahat PSVR2 is dope. I bought PSVR for RE7 and PSVR2 for Village. It's insanely impressive the visual clarity that PSVR2 provides and literally no motion sickness whatsoever. I was really surprised because it took like a week of mini sessions before I could play RE7 for long periods of time. Haven't experienced motion sickness once with PSVR2. As with all VR headsets, sometimes the controls can get wonky and cleaning the lenses is an absolute nightmare but once you're in there and immersed, there's nothing else like it. I honestly have no idea why so many people are nit picking the bitching about the thing. It's baller tech and if you like VR and have a PS5 and can afford PSVR2, you really can't go wrong.

I feel conflicted with it. On one hand, it's worth the price of admission just for Resident Evil: Village(It's THAT incredible, with Moss: Book 2 coming in second place for me personally.), including the upcoming Resident Evil 4: VR Mode, possible Astro Bot Rescue mission sequel(or port) etc. But i just can't get past being tethered to a cable in 2023. It's that immersion breaking barrier that practically destroys stand up VR imo. That, and it's using a high persistence display. Meaning, in order to get decent brightness it sacrifices motion clarity. The higher you raise the VR brightness slider the more head movement motion blur you'll get, which is the last thing you wan't in VR. We're supposed to be preventing motion sickness, not creating it. Quest 3 has a 1ms persistence(Zero motion blur) at at least 100nits, which spanks what the PSVR2 is cooking. For best motion clarity on PSVR2, drop the VR brightness down to zero, you'll get a 2ms persistence @60nits. Won't be viable for most people though since the image is too dim and bleak at that setting. The 4th point gets you to 110nits, comparable to Quest 2, but with noticeably more head movement blur with PSVR2. Double edged sword. I think most people will be able to find a happy medium though. I also can't stand the bulky cumbersome ring'd controllers, small sweet spot, chunky fat front visor and it's not as comfortable as the PSVR1 either. it's a little front-heavy or harsh around the nose, you'll start to really feel it at about 30 minutes. Sony shot themselves in the foot with this thing, aesthetically, and when it comes to some of it's feature/design choices. We already need a revision, stat!. :P Here's what I'd like to see > Wireless to PS5 connection Slimmer/flatter front visor Pancake lenses for wide sweet spot Ring-less VR Quest 3-like controllers Micro-OLED display boasting a 1ms persistence @110nits+ More comfortable (Around nose area)

Switchback VR March 16th what I want to play so bad..

Horizon: Climb of the mountain is actually good and fun. I've played it for about 6 hours today, and I would say that if everyone didn't have expectations of what they think it should be based on the previous games that they'd actually like it. It's good for what it is and the particle effects, smoke, burning embers floating through the air, etc. look top-notch AAA. It's not a half-baked demo.

Moss might be the most charming game I've ever played. If you are an animal person in any way, you gotta try it!

@@Jdb63 just beat it, thought it was great. The remaster is very good, it uses the new sense controllers too and the visuals are very sharp on the psvr2 and high res. Gonna get book 2 in a few weeks

It’s comments like this that hype me up even more and give me that fun feeling of excitement in the pit of my stomach :- ) maybe I pick this up around Christmas… currently playing other games so not ready for this yet.

I leave the audio on the tv so it’s coming through my surround sound system. It’s really cool that people can watch you play on the TV while you’re using the headset. Being the backseat driver yelling out helpful hints or snark adds a couch co-op vibe. The game library is set to rapidly expand this year so it’s definitely worth considering, especially if you like hyper realistic style graphics and immersive/RP adventure games. The eye tracking is really nice and makes aiming and menu navigation a breeze. I hope game devs keep using that feature.

Audio is one thing I'm worried about when mine arrives I have a reverb G2 with the off ear valve designed speakers. I'll be honest, for VR it kinda ruins any other audio solution for me. Best balance between quality and comfort

I thought the earbuds that came with it were great tbh, surprised to hear in this video that they weren’t good

I liked the earbuds but the Pulse 3D headphones work perfectly with the headset

Yeah definitely doesnt seem like enough of a difference to justify the massive increase in price from quest 2. especially since steam vr library is so much bigger

@@Ethos10128 Well, if you also count the SteamVR library you also have to account for the cost of a VR capable PC, which in itself will cost more than 1000$, combine that with a 400$ Quest 2 and now you're paying 1400$, 400$ more than a PSVR setup

@@thomaskast7842 A VR ready PC only cost $1000 if you don't know how to shop, and im more talking about the people who already have PCs. Plus PCs have ALOT more uses than a PS5 on top of gaming + VR gaming. And on top of that being able to get custom content in alot of VR games adds ALOT of value to those games, beatsaber, pavlov being a couple good examples. and then even on top of that, you can torrent games on PC potentially cutting the cost of games down to $0 from the PS5s insane price tags. Or you can buy CD keys for steam at heavily discounted prices. Also no PSplus for online play It may be slightly more on entry but in the long run you save ALOT

You should give Moss: Book 2 a chance, it's another brilliant VR show case and probably my second favorite PSVR2 title next to Resident Evil Village, which is the number one reason to own a PSVR2, and the same thing will probably apply to the upcoming Resident Evil 4: VR Mode. Incredible stuff, Capcom out did themselves. My only beef with it, is that it doesn't run at 90fps since the PS5 just isn't powerful enough. Maybe the PS5 Pro can get the job done, once it releases in winter 2024. For now, we have to deal with the dreaded motion duplication effect from 60 reprojection. And I wish they'd port over 'Ocean Descent' from PSVR Worlds on PSVR1(Shark dive was amazing and an absolute blast to show off to friends and family. PSVR2 doesn't seem to have any theme park VR-like attractions unfortunately.) . An Astro Bot Rescue Mission port would be also fantastic, including Half Life Alex and Resident Evil 7.

what's wrong with just playing it over your surround sound?

@Scott D you mean playing it on speakers? If so it's not really the same plus everyone in you house (unless you live alone) is gonna be hearing you play all the time......plus it's never gonna be as good since it's not directly next to your ear and in a certain area only

Mine sounds super bad 😞

Thats strange... mine sounds just like it does without VR... Im a big fan.

Looks like he has it on fine, the visor is level with his face, plus he has a PSVR 1. It should fit like how you'd wear a hat. He was saying the eyebox gasket and earbuds were uncomfortable, didn't say anything about his head.

You are wrong sir. If you wear it that low the plastic head band will be over your ears. It is designed to be worn like he is wearing it so you can wear over the head, head phones.

@Fritos Pie Fine, on the same plane that you'd wear a hat. Happy? The point is Wood isn't wearing it wrong, and his issues with comfort are not to do with the headband.

​@Brent Smith the headband is supposed to carry most of the weight. He is wearing incorrectly. Headband should sit slightly under the halfway point back of the head.

@@Will777JP You guys make me laugh.

You can wear your glasses with the headset

Plenty of room for glasses on this headset. I wear glasses myself. You can also get some cover lens made with your prescription from a eye test.

Most headsets can be comfortably worn with glasses.

I wear glasses. They are pretty big glasses. Absolutely no issues with the PSVR or the PSVR2

PSVR 2 is very glasses friendly, trust me. I’ve got short distance vision and everything further than my arm length is blurry. So glad I can wear glasses

**SPONS HAS ENTERED THE CHAT**

It will wear off after a bit trust lol

@@lorddrifter7296 Agreed. I was huge into Quest 2 but after a while I just got tired of standing while gaming and having to wear this thing on my face. Nothing is quite like sitting at home on the couch with my feet up playing a game on the TV.

lmfao simping for a video game console.

​@@ENGRtube what are you talking about? 🤡

Psvr+ps5 costs less than vr headset + capable pc.

​@@Yoko.Kurama Its still very expensive for the average person even if PC cost more.

@@Yoko.Kurama Yeah, that sounds accurate. It doesn't change anything I said in my comment, though.

@@wdbisl you can’t call it expensive when its literally the cheapest option for high quality VR. It’s not trying to be a Quest 2

To each their own. But for context, more than 100 games have already been announced for the PSVR2...and it's been less than one week since launch.

I loved the ear buds too, was shocked to see them get so much stick in this video. Each to their own I guess!

It's a little counter-intuitive because you want to play a lot when you first get a headset, but you really should ease into VR slowly to avoid getting motion sickness. I started with just 15 minute sessions and then slowly worked myself up to get my VR legs.

Honest take

My oculus sits in its box under my bed 😅

What VR devices have you tried? PSVR1 for example is low res and is expected to give you a headache. Something like the Meta Quest 2 is much higher res, allows you to adjust the IPD, has better tracking, and is affordable - starting at $400. Not all VR is made the same. I totally admit that VR isn’t for everyone - but calling it a failed concept is incredibly ignorant.

100%

If it gives you a headache that’s your problem not the vr
