PSVR2 Owner Buys a Quest 3 

The single best video game experience I've ever had is PSVR2's Resident Evil: Village.

It's all about the games for me. I was a PCVR guy for years but I don't think any one single year in the PCVR ecosystem compares to the PS VR2's first year. The fact that we got TWO whole Resident Evil campaigns is INSANE! I just finished RE4 on Hardcore and it took me 22 hours! Best VR singleplayer experience I've had hands down, and I've played both Alyx and Boneworks. Throw my over 200 hours of Gran Turismo 7 on top of that and it's just insane what the PS VR2 has provided me. This is not to mention all the other amazing games on the platform or the OLED screens, headset haptics, eye-tracked foveated rendering, and adaptive triggers. I've owned a Rift, an Odyssey+, a PSVR1, and played a far amount of Quest 2 and the PS VR2 is on a whole 'nother level.

I own both as well. PSVR2 for me. I just find the immersion so much better on PSVR2. Playing in VR is all about being fully immersed.

I own PSVR2 and Q3 (along with multiple high end PCVR headsets). And I appreciate and agree with this video. The media is trashing on the PSVR2 hard lately. Just like they've taken to declaring PCVR dead. As someone who owns and uses all of the above, I think the media is FOS. They're increasingly trashing on anything that isn't a Meta headset, and these claims are just not true at least from the standpoint of actual customer experience. Which headsets I'm having the most fun with and using the most are more or less in the exact opposite order the media would have you believe. The media was declaring the PSVR2 DOA before it ever even released just based on the price. And this was always from a very PC-centric point of view where they're including the cost of the PS5 in the price, but not the cost of the PC because _obviously_ everyone has a PC already. Or they're arguing from comparison to Quest standalone and ignoring that this is a comparison to mobile chipsets with considerably less power. Either way, an unfair and misleading comparison. Also thank you for pointing out that Q3 does not actually cost $500. Buying accessories like a hard strap for it is practically a requirement, whereas other headsets already come with everything you need in the box. So customers should be aware of the cost of the Quest accessories they will also need to purchase when comparing price. I agree with you that the PSVR2 and Q3 are actually relatively evenly matched, and which is better depends on your use case and what you value more. I don't end up using my Q3 very often because its native games offer less fidelity. I use it when I'm traveling or to play its exclusives. And there are actually very few meaningful games that aren't also on PCVR and/or PSVR2. And I will always choose those other platforms when I have a choice because the game will be better on them. The PSVR2 is probably the most underrated headset on the market right now. And it's a shame because I think it has really impacted its sales and consequently Sony's continuing investment in the platform.

I don't own a fully functional VR setup although I have VR ... I am super interested in PSVR2 PC compatibility and will pick up a headset once it is either unofficially supported by Monado community members (see Monando VRs discord as they even have a custom breakout box) or by Sony. The PSVR2's hardware is the best in its price class. If the Open source community can crack the PSVR2 so to speak, than I am in.

Great video… Let’s not forget on how we can still play all the 2D (None VR) PS4 & PS5 games in cinema mode, all the way up to an IMAX experience by using the PSVR2 as your main display while enjoying all the benefits of OLED and up to 120 hz by disabling the 120 on the console and enabling it on the headset 😎. It’s insanity to me, on how many individuals own the PSVR2 and don’t realize all the features that is giving us as a massive plus 🤦‍♂️.

I completely agree with this video. If I could afford all of VR, I would get all of VR in order for me to understand them all and enjoy what each headset has to offer. I own the original PSVR as well as PSVR 2 and I really enjoy both. I have never owned PCVR headsets or quest headsets so I would never say that I don’t like those because I haven’t even experienced them. If somebody doesn’t like a headset, for whatever reason, that’s completely fine and they can get rid of it and get something else that works for them. It just bugs me when someone says something is trash and not explain themselves.

So one is for chilling and hanging and the other is for the best gaming experience. Thanks for you perspective 👏

If anyone plays Legendary Tales on PSVR2, you'll agree it is by far one of the best VR games available. Its a 40+ hour walking RPG, you craft stuff, kill goblins and skeletons etc its like an unmatched updated version of Blades and Sorcery. PSVR2 is the best affordable gaming headset out there Madison VR just came out, looks terrifying.

I'm not, and have never been, a console gamer. I also use VR for more than games (although plenty of gaming as well), so the Quest 2 and 3 with the standalone and PCVR capability they have at the price was a no brainer. I mostly use PCVR, and the upgrade from fresnel lenses to pancake lenses was worth it on it's own for the Quest 3. The standalone performance increase, resolution bump, colour passthrough/mixed reality, real IPD adjustment and wifi 6e were certainly nice upgrades as well. That said, I'd still love to check out the PSVR2, but I don't know anyone that has one or locations that offer demonstrations. That makes it a hard sell locally for console gamers, and especially those new to VR. Why buy what amounts to an accessory only usable with a small subset of their console library (I've heard it compared to aim controllers, light guns and dance pads), which costs more than the price of the console? I'd really like to see what Sony do with PCVR and try that as well, since that would actually make a PSVR2 headset useable for me and provide direct comparison. It's hard to imagine the fresnel lenses seeming like anything but a massive downgrade from the Quest 3's pancake lenses. I stick my Quest 2 back on when sharing, playing multiplayer Quest titles or demonstrating VR to friends and family, and the fresnel lenses more than anything else really seem outdated.

I too have quest 2,3 and vr2 and I ONLY reached for the vr2. IMHO, I will end all my quest thirst once I could afford the apple vision. Vr2 I will be gaming on

Thanks for your opinions man, keep up the good work! Loved the comparison. I'm on Q3 I've got a Ps5 but i have a 7800XT PC build, and Oculus Link Cable for PC gaming through The Q3. My Daughter Loves Gorilla Tag, she plays it all the time on my Q2 also.

Try Bobo's S3 Pro headstrap. It's the same-ish headstrap you love for the Quest 2 but with a proper battery, and the fan is nice.

i have a valve undex as my pcvr and started with a htc vive and then a psvr1, and so far i love the psvr 2, the haptics are so immersive when done right and hdr and oled on it are amazing so yeah i dont understand the hate it gets in the media, especially from other vr users as you would think they would want all types of vr to succeed as they say a rising tide would elevate all of us and give us more games

I have both and love both. I DO actually like the PSVR2 more because it's really streamlined and EASY to set up. it's lighter and more comfortable. the cable is annoying but the games run SO MUCH SMOOTHER on it. if it had pancake lenses it would be nearly perfect

What a refreshingly fair assessment, especially in regard to the Quest catalog and the lack of really compelling AAA titles. That said, I think that's starting to change (which is about right since it takes 3-5 years to bring those titles to a new gaming medium (like standalone VR in this case). So really right now is about the right time to start seeing more and more titles become ready for release. I consider Asgard's Wrath 2 and Assassin's Creed to be AAA and I suspect we will see more by the end of the year and a steady flow from here on out. I also agree that PCVR is at an amazing point right now, particularly with the releaase of praydog's UEVR injector, with lots of great titles but still hindered by needing a powerful machine to run them. If anyone can figure out really solid streaming (a la Geforce Now) for PCVR, it could be a game changer. That said, PSVR2 is amazing tech with a really compelling ease of use and some dazzling titles. It bothers me that so many people want to pick a side and pit the headsets against each other. More VR is better for everyone. I do think Sony is missing a tremendous opportunity in focusing solely on new, VR-only titles. They have an enormous back catalog of titles across many platforms that would be amazing to play on a giant screen in a headset, especially if they created a framework to allow them to be played in 3D. After playing Nintendo 3DS titles via CitraVR on the Quest 3, I was immediately sold on the potential for reviving old titles via VR mods. My first thought was how cool it would be to play the PS2 and PSP God of War games in 3D in a headset.

I have no hate on any VR headset Technology. I have only been a PC user and gamer for many many years, so all my games and apps are PC based games - even before VR even got started. I never did consoles such as Play Stations or Xbox systems. Both are very good, but I have too much invested in PC computers and had no need for a console system. I now have the Quest 3 and works well on my PC gaming computer. And again I have so much invested in games for the PC and know the PC very well. I grew up with PC computers from day one when they became affordable. That is all I can say. If I had a Sony Play Station 5, I would be saying the PSVR headset would work for me. So it is what your interests are for computers. Take care.

In one sentence: After trying the PSVR2 and purchasing the Quest 3 to experience Half-Life Alyx, I was disappointed by the level of darkness in Q3, yet very impressed by my ability to read the small text in posters within Half-Life Alyx.

Nice guitars dude.

I love the versatility of the quest 3 but I'm also curious about the PSVR2, I might pick one up at some point.

I don’t have a VR headset and feel like I want both the Q3 and PSVR2! So hard to decide which one to get first though.

I have them both and I love them both :-), but is it only I think that "sweet spot" on psvr 2 is too small?

I have a Quest 3 that I love. I haven't picked up a PSVR2 yet, but I imagine I will get one soon just to play the latest version of RE4 and RE Village. Unless they are ported over to PCVR or the Quest 3 anytime soon. I just don't like having a cable connected to the VR unit. I feel like that could go bad for me.

You said it. They are two different beasts. I started out on PCVR and got fed up with the constant tinkering with settings and spending on upgrades. I got the Quest 2 to use as a PCVR headset then got hooked on the effortlessness of standalone. It’s just like putting on a hat, then you start playing. I feel that the Quest gaming vs PCVR reduce friction by 70%. Of course the graphics are a bit N64, but I can play anytime, anywhere. I have taken it to parties, on holiday and yes, I am the VR prick on the train! By the time PSVR2 came out, I was very interested, but had already invested too much into my Quest library and headset mods. So I passed. PSVR2 is awesome. Especially the controllers, haptics and big titles. It is the closest thing to PCVR without the hassle and the costs. The only downsides I can see is that they didn’t make it reverse compatible with PSVR1 games and the non existent returns policy. These problems don’t exist with Quest or Steam. As for the haters? They are either trying to justify their purchase, justify their choices, want to be in a gang, jumping on RU-vidr bandwagons or they are just pricks. Human beings are designed to be territorial and hunt. Translate that to modern times, when we don’t have to hunt anymore, you either evolve, or become a prick. I am currently running a Quest 3 with Quest Games Optimizer, Aubika VR battery strap, AMVR face gasket and Maecker knuckle grips. The Quest games optimizer is the best $10 I have spent on my setup!

I prefer the games for PSVR 2, but Quest gives you the ultimate vr experience with different types of VR experiences that aren't just games . Watching the Blackpink concert in vr for example blew me away.. If PSVR had a browser, youtube tv, Big Screen,oculus tv... it would be the best but it has none of that. But ultimately for gaming, games like Kayak Vr, Switchback, and Horizon Call of the Mountain are just such amazing experiences that define vr for me. In the end I have both and love both

The thing with all the mainstream gaming "journalists" is that they received this email from meta about how PSVR2 had and would not have any games and Meta is still running that campaign in media. They also pressure devs to not create improved versions that where on Meta and now ported to PSVR2. The devs from. Among us outright said this on PSVR. Without Parole's discord and live stream chat.

I've used both. Both are good for different things... PSVR2 is absolutely great if you are more into games (I will say - Horizon Zero Dawn on it is GREAT). The Meta Quest 3 is what I'd use for doing things like working out and chats and such. I love using VR for FitXR and other workouts and... PSVR simply is not great for that due simply to the cords. But if I were more into the gaming aspect then I'd argue PSVR is better. Both great but for different things.

I have been playing vr2 for around 1 month now and alrrady had to start game collecting, they are awesome i finished very bad dreams, paradise hotel and the 7th guest. Now into beat saber and the walking dead. Resident evil to come and many more 👍

I heard that you can also use meta 3 for the ps5. I stil have to find out how btw.

They’re both great I love both.

But you can use quest 3 on PC VR I do it all the time. although the standalone games keep me happy for now. But I have a ryzen 9 5900x and Rx 6800 and it smashes the PCVR. You do need to make some adjustments in the oculus debug tool to get it looking great. it's mediocre until you do that. well not in all games but some are blurry till i messed about with bitrates etc. now Skyrim VR looks amazing and so does anything else. EDIT when I unpaused you mention the PCVR I am still playing asgards wraith 1 as you get that as well as 2 when you buy the quest 3. which is awesome. that one is PCVR only though but is amazing. What GPU and CPU do u have? BTw humble has a PCVR bundle atm with loadsa cool games. Like 7 for £15. I picked it up just for after the fall. which is a saving in itself. Co's that is £23 or something on steam. Try the debug tool and those shortcomings you mentioned disappear. Or quest 3 games optomiser or sideload app to get better standalone VR graphics. Make sure you do some research before messing with debug tool though. It's easy just watch some video's first maybe.Makes a big difference as does the quest games optomiser and the sideload app. You can up the resolution and framerate etc No mans sky VR is amaziong on quest 3 as well. in fact i am off to play it now lol. I got the 512gb version. else it was 128 gb. like a quarter of the storage.

I got quest pro. I'd say no much hate here. I also Had PSVR 2 - but I sold it. Fisrt off - the hate is reasonable. 1. Poor support , 2. No replacement. 3.Sony is bad at supporting 200 countries (non-existing support) 4. bad costumer support. These are minor things. Let's talk about PSVR 2 ittself - it's a beast VR headset, but god no thanks! 1. Poor tracking (even quest 2 does better) 2. Fantastic graphic fidelity ( i love it ) 3. Yes it's too comfy. 4. supperior controllers. I dont like PSVR 2 only for that it doesn't have pavlov VR MOD support and no browser and etc. PSVR 2 feels like a lock down jail. If PSVR 2 will come out on PC - an instant purchase

I have the quest2 for 2 year and I have never played so much in my entire life since the release of PSVR2 over 600 h of play time and 20 h on my quest 3 since release big library on quest but nothing good for me compared to my psvr2 and the same game on the 2 platform i buy the psvr2 version this is my choice

I own both a Q3 and PSVR2. I love both, but because im a sucker for OLED/HDR and haptics/triggers, I gravitate towards PSVR2. I just find it a bit more immersive when games are multiplatform. My Q3 runs on a pretty good PC fwiw (3080 ti).

I think it's a good pace the games are coming out for PSVR2. Ever heard of the saying, "Too much of a good thing is a bad thing"? The point is, I still have an amazing backlog to complete, so there's no room for complaint, lol. I hope Sony keeps pushing games into the store, whether they're new, ports, or exclusives. As long as it happens, who cares when they come out? You invested in a future device, come on now. How are people beating all these games is what I want to know. I've beaten 10 games and still have 20 to beat on top of that. Hell, it would be hard to keep up with the games even if you had an infinite catalog of games. I like people doing reviews so you can find out about the best games.

I love my psvr2. Who wants to lose in Creed?

I just find psvr2 blurry, I've wiped the lenses so much they've probably lost a layer. I've adjusted till the cows come home. STILL blurry. Will be buying a Quest 3 soon. Can you wear glasses work the Quest 3? Thanks

I got the PSVR2, 1 because I have the PS5 already, and 2 because it is still cheaper here than buying a Quest 3, plus for comfort costs even more for a decent headband. Not interested in Social VR and a solo Gamer, and the PSVR2 games quality is better.. I have the Quest 2, so don't see a need for a Quest 3, and the Quest 2 is outselling the Quest 3 4 to 1, and they are not that happy with the Quest 3, ad to get sales are coming out with the Lite 3, a cheaper version of the 3.

You do realize that you don’t need trackers when using the quest 3 with pcvr right? You said you needed trackers and you don’t lol

I've owned both since launch. Quest 3 is awesome in every way once BoboVR fixes the comfort issue. The PSVR2 sweet spot is atrocious!!! Sony has abandoned it already. So disappointed ☹️☹️

It will only take Sony to develop and update the software and the headset is a whole new monster. I’m a PSVR2 user and if I had the funds I would have both. They both have their exclusives and uses.

I ❤ both, they’re both worth the money I spent on em. But, I am disappointed in the Fresnel Lenses Sony used for the PSVR2 if they used some like the ones on Quest 3 it would look so much better. If you ask me, Which headset is better…? I would say the Quest 3 because it is totally wireless and standalone. I can take it with me anywhere and easily share the experience. Play some thrill of the fight in mixed reality mode out in the middle of a forest and you’ll know what I mean. Yes, pretty soon both headsets will have the ability to connect to the PC but, can it connect to the PC wirelessly… which ever headset can do this is the winner! we already know, who the winner is and it starts with Me…🏆😉👌 ‘’Meta Quest 3’’

I subscribed to your channel because I have been trying to get my word out. Has well on my channel a good video well said 👏

great video!!! with the upcoming onboard full body tracking on Q3 the oled and haptics don't even matter to me. Keep Questing!!!!!

For the same price, and not needing a PS5... The average person will get a better value out of the Quest 3. Way more games, and it is getting so easy to play PC VR games on the Quest 3 FULLY WIRELESS. PSVR2 being wired definitely kills it for me.

What’s the minimum you can spend on a ready made pc for VR? Bare minimum

PSVR2 has no games? 200 games in the first year. That is more releases than the Xbox One had in a year as a console.

you have a Quest 2 right there, why did you think you need a Q3? Q2 runs same games - they're actually made for it - and at $200 it's heavy competition to both. Resolution on both is barely improved from Q2. And as I said, VR are targeting the most popular platform, so unless you really want best graphics or OLED whatever, Quest 2 has the market in its hands. Not that it's really selling much better tho: most gamers are not in VR, it's mostly in the hands of brats or casual gamers at best. Still, it's where games are premiering: Max Mustard, Medieval Dynasty, Tropico, Smalland you name it, they all come first to Quest and maybe later to psvr 2, pcvr

For me, Quest are just poor man Apple vision and I would sell them off the moment I got me a real AppleV. Vr2 will remained with me for gaming

People say PSVR2 is blurry. Do you agree?

I bought a psvr2 and can't even get it to connect to any games so far without having to hard reset the controllers and cant even get into re4 at all. Really wanted to love this. Really frustrating.

NMS is only on PSVR2

@7:29 "I can just relax" (video lags out violently) lol

Hi, i had the ps5 and the psvr2. Sadly, the psvr is to blurry for me and i hate the cable. Now i have the quest 3.

Problem with psvr2 is if you drop a controller you can't buy a new control no one has time to contact sony send old one back wait for it come in mail 2 weeks later.

Vr looks abit erm 💩 i keep getting tempted but i just feel like its going to be a waste of money the games the graphics just dont seem good enough. And everything looks cheesy. Can someone tell me different tell me what im missing. It seems like hype hype hype and you look past the hype and everything looks cheese

Sony always drops accessories. Looks at the pep, psp vita, Sony ps3 tv's., all are gone now. So will psvr

What hate lol i guess you can find "hate" on everything if you look for it. For me psvr2 is unusable because of mura effect but i am in a very small minority and only got it for a few exclusives. IMO Quest3 is just better because it can be used as a PC headset and psvr2 can't so for most people just makes more sense to get Quest3. I Personally use bigscreen beyond for sim racing. I don't really get the cost comparisons you do as far as PC if its for quest3 its just 500 you dont need any extra trackers or whatever and you seem to lump the cost with (pc + quest3) as if ps5 does not cost $500 and then you can get into the whole debate how much pc games cost on steam and console game costs when you average those things out over like 5 years you will find out consoles aren't really cheaper. PSVR2 only makes sense if you have ps5 and nothing else.

Quest 3 is infinitely superior to psvr 2. Quest 3 has a huge library of games that all playable on their latest device. Constant updates for the headset, and Meta know how to market their product. Shame as I love Sony, but they’ve really let themselves and their consumers down with the lack of support for this headset.

not sure why people cant be grown ass adults and enjoy all of it. this bs is just as stupid as the console vs pc argument. i've had several consoles, starting with the original nintendo, and i love playing games on my pc.
