I know many people have mentioned this but I’m loving my PSVR 2. To me, it’s a significant upgrade to the Quest 2 (even with its drawbacks). I especially love the eye tracking and the comfort it has right off the bat (especially since I can wear my glasses comfortably in it). Funny thing I have played No Mans Sky on both PCVR and PSVR2 just recently and honestly I’d prefer playing it on PSVR 2 for the comfort and better performance while boosting amazing graphics. Although I totally get why it may not be for everyone. I think it’d be an amazing headset for everyone to try at least once in some way to see if it is for them. I hope that Sony succeeds with this headset for the sake of the industry.
Is it still worth getting a Quest 2? I trying to decide whether to get a Q2 or PSVR2. It'll be my first VR headset. There are a lot more games I want to play on PCVR. I'm dying to play Half-life Alyx. PSVR2 has only 2 I want to play, GT7 and Res Evil 4 Remake coming.
@@mcg354 PC is great if you are prepared to install mods and tweak settings. Res Evil 4 remake is already known to be getting a VR mod and there are many comparable driving sim games on PC such as Automobilista 2 , F1 2022 etc. and GT7 may come to PC later. The best content for Alyx is the mods many of which are better than the main game. Between the praydog UE mod and the work of other modders and other injectors you can play pretty much any game in VR if you have a GPU that can handle it. But, be aware that if you want to run the really high fidelity games like Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts legacy perfectly you basically need a 4090. The only reasons to get PSVR2 are lower cost , ease of use and possibly exclusives. Q2 standalone is ok for simple games like beat sabre, synth riders etc but it is trash for anything else being totally honest
@@mcg354 that’s a really good question. In my opinion, if you already have a PS5 and/or are not planning on getting into PC gaming of any kind soon, I think it’s worth getting the PSVR2 first. It’s also worth it if you want to support the VR industry by supporting a company that has you in mind and are kind of sick how Meta has been treating the industry (like me personally). With the PSVR2, it’s honestly pretty close to PCVR quality for gaming. Although if you are planning to get into PC gaming, I’d recommend getting the Quest 2 then as that is an affordable and a great way to get into PCVR gaming in general - also you would also need to get some third party accessories to make your PCVR gaming experience somewhat comfortable. The default face plate and the strap on the Quest 2 headset is very uncomfortable.
If I believed the psvr 2 was better than the quest 2, i’d buy it but i’m not convinced. Owners are raving about it but this is still the honeymoon period. Quest 2 doesnt have issues with a small sweet spot or mura effect. Has built in speakers. Controllers have like 20 hour battery life. You can choose from many different headstraps. There’s lots of third party peripherals available like controller covers and gun or golf club attachments. All games essentially have demos since all can be tried for an hour and refunded with no issue. Wireless is far better for fitness games. PCVR capable. Has social games like VR chat and RecRoom. Virtual tourism games like Wander and Google Earth VR. Has CZcams VR and lots of VR films built into the headset software. Has some great free games like Blaston, Hyperdash, and Pokerstars. Population One is going free. VR games on Steam can be had for lower prices and can be tried for an hour. Quest 2’s hand tracking and guardian system seem to work better. You can stream the headsets display to a friends smartphone and record live video of the game plus video of the headset wearer embedded into the game footage. Lots of games are cross buy so you get the pcvr and native quest versions. Games have multi generational support. You have controller free hand tracking. You have an abundance of different home environments to choose from. You have fully functional web browsers that can play VR videos. Multiplayer games will have much larger pools of players. You can buy it from a retail store so returns and exchanges are faster and easier. And the Quest 3 is going to be even better, and most likely won’t cost more than the psvr 2. Hopefully Sony brings some good exclusives. They’ll need it.
The PSVR2 is, to me, the most compelling option on the market because I don't own a VR capable PC and have no interest in plunking down the cash for one, and I won't buy a Quest because I refuse to give Facebook/Meta any money. It helps that the PSVR2 is, pound for pound, one of the strongest HMDs on the market at the moment.
Worth every penny for me, hands down the greatest gaming experience I’ve ever had in 30+ years of gaming. Horizon is legendary, the amount of interaction with the environment that you can have fun with will have you in one area of the game for hours just manipulating and interacting, that’s industry game changing and setting the bar extremely high for VR games going forward. Res Village VR took what was revolutionary from Skydance Interactives Walkding Dead Saints and Sinners back in May of 2020 to be able to on the fly quickly switch through your inventory on your person with various motions from your controllers and slapped it on a RE skin and bam you have an incredibly scary and interactive title! Song in the Smoke is another Oldy but goody remastered for PSVR2 same with No Mans Sky, playing that with VR will blow your mind. I don’t know but for me a recipe for success is tech and titles and so far PSVR2 is on the right track for both, if Sony keeps up the titles and remasters for PSVR2 going forward it’s going to be a thrill ride not to be missed. Confirmed as of today there’s 93+ titles in development for PSVR2. That’s my take so far I’m happy with it, poor as &$@# but happy with my purchase and excited for the future! 😎
@@MidnightPodcastGaming no, let him. Let him give in to the PSVR2 cult! We offer plenty of sweets. Hehe. Joking aside, he is expressing how excited I am for the PSVR2 as well.
@@mornova9510 The PSVR 2 is decent, far from great. That's just a fact. Let's all be 100% honest here. But sure, I dig it too. I'll dig it 100x more when Rad update their app ;)
@@MidnightPodcastGaming no, it's awesome. For 600$ you are getting what PCVR offers with 1500$ of headset+controllers. But you also need a beefy PC that is gonna well into 1500-1800$ to run a game as well as PSVR thanks to foveated rendering, while a PS5 is 500$. So it's 1100$ for the tech PCVR offers for 3000$ plus. That 3 times more. I had some problems like mura effect in super dark images in Re8 and kayak VR. It's not the most comfortable. It had some specific controls issues but mainly on Re8. still, i played 3 hours in a row today and time flies FAST in VR. it's pure fun. It's not a 10/10 but it's sure as hell a 9/10. And with PCVR the best you can get is a 9.5/10 with many problems and for 5 times the price. Thing is, nothing is perfect. Nothing will ever be perfect. It will always be a price:quality ratio and the psvr2 is hands down the BEST bang for your buck VR headset. The competition is not even CLOSE. I'm hyped af for the next PSVR. Sony killed it. And it's not because of the problems or that I don't like it. It's the same hype I have for the ps6. Honestly, i didn't even think k would be hyped about this shit before getting a PS5 and then the psvr2. Sony brought back the hype for me. Way more than the hype I had going from PS2 to PS3 and then PS4. Maybe similar to going from PS1 to PS2 but that's mainly because of mgs2, not the tech itself. It was always about the games, looking better and stuff. This time, I'm actually hyped about the tech, the loading times, FSR/DLSS supersampling being virtually identical to the native resolution, same for the VR foveated rendering and eye tracking (you literally can see where people are looking at on their avatars in Pavlov. The eyes in game match the real eyes 🤯) But you just wanna watch porn on it. Gotcha. Just get a shitty 30$ VR for your phone, where you slap your phone on the front as a screen, and do it that way. The quality will be shit anyway because they are using 360 cameras instead of 3D rendered images that you can experience in actual real VR.
Huge fan of PSVR 1. Bought this new hardware on day 1. I’ve always suffered from VR sickness, but it is dramatically reduced on the PSVR2. My biggest frustration is with the “sweet” spot visuals. My eyes drift around to take in the world, and often the visual quality drops abruptly and often. If I look around more with my head than my eyes, it’s not as bad, but I’m surprised it happens at all. I’m happy with the headset, but it’s not perfect.
This is my first VR headset, so I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything and I’m just enjoying the experience. That being said, even as a first time VR user, the “small sweet spot” and “mediocre tracking” seem like they would be unforgivable to more experienced vr users. Still, I don’t own a PC and I’m very glad the PSVR2 is an option for me.
The advertisement of 4k picture quality in the headset vs. the reality of what it really looks like definitely bummed me out. This is my 1st VR and didn't know what to expect. It's still really cool though and we're having lots of fun with it.
Night and day difference between Sonys first iteration into VR. I just hope that some more games get updated for the new hardware. Skyrim was my fav vr game
Same here! I’m even planning on buying Ported games (ie Star Wars Tales from The Galaxy’s Edge) after playing the demo for it because of the graphical upgrade and the haptics. Even though I already have them on the Quest 2.
Here's a tip on finding the sweet spot. While adjusting your headset. Look with one eye only in each lens. When the words on one side of the headset are clear as the other side, you have a sweet spot and then can open both eyes .
I have a love hate relationship with my PSVR 2. It's hard to find the sweet spot, my head hurts, my eyes hurt a little at the beginning and it's blurry. But I still had/have the best experiences with it of all the VR devices I own. I essentially bought the device with GT7 in mind. Coupled with a racing sim, it's the best thing ever.
@@stuntmonkey3550 I feel it’s more comfortable than PSVR1 but not at first because I was wearing it wrong. Also found I had a tendency to crank it too tight and push the faceplate too tight to my face. After I got use to it and backed off on the tightness I found it comfortable and it still didn’t move. So basically it takes a little patience but once you get it it’s easy to find it again.
@@stuntmonkey3550 I don't really remember if the PSVR 1 was more comfortable, it's been awhile but in terms of weight redistribution, it's better. Feels light for the size, probably because of its cheap materials and the fact that like I said, weight is being redistributed more efficiently.
@@74Spyderman I have the same problem, I crank it too much, but if I don't the headset falls a tiny bit down and makes the screen blurry. I can see a difference when I realize that it's blurry and lift the headset up and then I crank it up to make it more stable but then because of that my head hurts and the nose borders are scraping my nose.
I turned the brightness down in the headset and that makes it far better on the eyes. I struggled with the PSVR because of the image. The bump in resolution of the PSVR2 has helped that and reducing the brightness. Meaning I have already completed Moss, played way more GT7 than I thought I would manage and got through the Res 8 demo. I’m still taken back by the GT7 experience, 2D seems dull in comparison. Keep my sessions in shortish bursts. All we need now is an Astrobot update…
Hell Yeah !! That is the first HONEST review I`ve seen. There is so much disinformation/lying by omission from most other content creators many gaslighting their audience basically implying "you are just not wearing it right" when (for example) some new VR user genuinely asks a valid question like "is it supposed to be this blurry?" or "what is this ghosting/double vision when I`m turning ?" I get it . We all want VR to succeed but it does the industry no good if new users return or sell their headsets and never try VR again because they think PSVR2 with all its problems is the best VR has to offer.
Honest but one-sided. I would have liked a title more like '5 reasons to buy YES, and 5 reasons NO'. Perhaps it's just me really wanting VR to take off, but negative titles like this can sway the average viewer who may not watch every video that comes up. And honest or not, the 90% negative content featured here is pretty dissuading. Just suggesting a little more balance. For example, two-and-a-half AAA launch games and ~40 alongside is incredible by any standard, and there's a lot to come. This headset is awesome.
@@luyixi you have to understand that matteo isn't a psvr only channel. So you want him to lie to push vr in your narrative? Lol He also has a pcvr audience that's not buying into the youtube psvr 2 hype train. Nobody on the pcvr side would buy psvr 2 for climb fest horizon. We already played re8 modded and even seen playthroughs of re8 native vr..jump out of body leaving you to stare at your 3rd person body. Thats unacceptable for a native vr game especially when a modded re8 pcvr has never done that. You can watch petrifying pumpkins playthrough to see what I'm talking about. In the beginning when the guy comes down with the hammer. Totally killing his first playthrough experience. We as vr consumers need to know this information..not bs lies
And totally agree with you. A lot of vr youtubers are showing their desperation for psvr 2 subs for sure. Lol you can totally see them being very careful with the way they word anything negative about the psvr 2.
The ps vr2 is amazing salute from the Netherlands my fellow vr gamers.
Před rokem+7
What I really miss, and still play frequently, is Farpoint. Nothing comes near this in VR. I loveeeeeeee this game and I'm waiting for its second iteration to go and buy PSVR2.
Yeah the farpoint and aim combo was so good! Imagine a new Aim controller with the sense and haptic feedback on PSVR2 running Farpoint 2:)
Před rokem+3
@@MrPati0 oh man... that sounds sweeeeetttttt 😁😁😁 I'm dying to know what the hell happened to those "survivers" that kept walking in Farpoint. The storyline was amazing and the all ambiance sounds were so awesome.
Amazing exclusives, amazing haptics, and crazy oled lighting effects and blacks - - watching fire in a dark room has never looked so mesmerizing in vr - - resident evil 8 is the best thing I've ever experienced in vr, even over alyx in my opinion - - quest 3 is exciting but only if they have great games - quest 2 only had one great game, RE 4 and the rest were just mediocre
I'm loving my psvr 2, it blows my quest away ,stand alone and even when I connect it to my pc it still doesn't beat it, don't get me started on the pc stuff that's always a battle to get running smoothly setting adjustments, drivers ect that has its own host of problems.
I got Dirt Rally 2 running pretty good on PC but I don't have project Cars 2 running properly on PC. I'm just too lazy to dig through all the documentation on the internet to get it tuned right. I'm thankful that I will be able play GT7 without having to fiddle with any settings. I have the game but just haven't had time to play it yet.
I already own a PS5 and I expect the Quest 3 will not be as heavily subsidized as the Quest 2 and be almost the same price. My biggest issue is the small sweet spot for the lenses.
I own a PS5, but my problem is that if I wanted to play PSVR2 right now, I couldn't. My wife chats with our kid on the phone while they play Genshin Impact several nights a week, and plays the game a ton anyway. I could play with my Quest 2, but because it is tethered to the console, I would have to kick my wife off. I'm sort of interested for racing games, because I think the power and resolution will be put to good use in those games. But there are so many drawbacks by the cheap way Sony went about this.
As always, I absolutely love those VR-philosophy oriented videos of yours! I can't understand why you don't have at least the same amount of subs as Thrillseeker and those larger channels. I feel like I'm on the same page regarding PSVR2. While I don't see the need for one in my collection at this time, having played everything it has to offer except the 3 originals, I still really hope that Sony will succeed and bring VR games to the next level. This is a very important HMD for the entire industry, and while not for everyone, I hope it'll bring more PS5 players into VR and help VR to move forward! Sony is focused on games while Meta is focused on... Well, no one seems to know.
Matteo, I think you are spot on with everything you said in this video. The reprojection is really horrible on this headset. I was surprised to discover that the biggest drawback to this system is ps5 combined with Sony's stance on reprojection. The image distortion and warping nearly made me RMA my headset because I thought my lenses were messed up. I have been an index gamer for 3 years and have extensively used quest 2. My second biggest gripe is comfort, it's just not a comfortable headset for me with my small IPD, and the sweet spot. In order to get a crisp image the lenses have to rest on my nose, and after a few times of moving my head around, the halo strap just slides out of place. And the padding is just thin rubber. Lastly, I don't think the benefits of OLED (or at least the panels in this headset) outweigh the cons. For a display that is running at nearly double the total pixel count as the index, it's a step back in clarity and sharpness. Sony could have picked something like Quest 2 or Index resolution with LCD panels and pancake lenses for a significantly better and more clear experience. It would be a sharper image that requires less hardware load to run and no one would be complaining about the image quality. Yes, colors and blacks would take a hit but I find those secondary to sharpness.
Yeah, The clarity and sharpness of PSVR2 is worse than almost any headset even Rift-S which is closer to PSVR1 resolution. I think the internal render resolution (lack of Super Sampling) is also a factor in that. It will be interesting to see how the headset actually performs if it is hacked to work on PC. There is also the issue of including eye tracking but negating the benefits of that my using a lens that only looks clear in the centre. Really bizarre decision not to use pancake lenses.
@@scottd7222 yep i know, sweet spot is stupid small then. What is frustrating is that once I get it in the ideal spot for my head shape, I can't just leave the headset like that all the time. Each time you put it on you have to re-adjust it. My index on the other hand is set and adjusted to exactly where I like it and I just toss it on my head and go.
I'm a vr enthusiast. I want to see vr succeed period. I don't want vr to die out. As soon as I heard the psvr2 was being developed, I planned on getting it. I love my quest2 and my psvr1 despite its flaws. That said, I'm shocked the psvr2 has a noticeable screen door effect. I thought that was pretty much a thing of the past. All vr headsets have it, but it's almost not discernable anymore. I'm still getting a psvr2, but I really think the oled may have been a mistake.
Same here! I don't believe VR will ever die out at this point, as I think we have come too far for that to happen. It's the same thing I heard about Virtual assistants (such as the Echo) and all the doomsaying I have been reading how it was a failed technology. The worst websites to read about all this new tech are sites like Forbes because investors are biased. They WANT things like this to fail because they do not like betting on something that's not a "sure thing." VR is here to stay. The question is when will it take the mainstream by storm? It's happening but slowly.
The OLED is pentile so has only 2 subpixels instead of 3.That's why there is still screen door effect. I'd still much rather have pentile OLED than crappy LCD.
hmmm, my personal experience with the controller tracking for the Quest 2 wasn't that good to be honest - there was a lot of controller shake at times. The Pico 4 seemed much better (maybe due to the slight re-orientation of the tracking rings). Overall, the quest 2 controller tracking was a lot more consistent than the PS moves for the OG PSVR of course, but even then with the set up I had, I could get the moves to track smoother than the quest in Beat saber. Can't say that I've noticed any problems with controller tracking on the PSVR2 so far, other than in game issues of arms going off at funny angles (but that's the game, not the tracking, the hands were tracked fine) and I'm betting that there will be a refinement of the tracking software over time anyway (the quest 2 has had a long time to try to get this right - PSVR 2 is not even 2 weeks after release yet). I've had a few drop outs for tracking of the headset but not the controllers. The tight sweet spot is an issue though - the calibration routine helps, but I'm puzzled why Sony went from normal lenses in the PSVR to the fresnel lenses in PSVR 2. It might be a habit thing, but I do think the headband was ever so slightly more comfortable on the original PSVR as well - both are still better than just about every other stock headstrap arrangement though and the new face gasket is superb.
Couldn't disagree more.. Love my psvr2. None of the "issues" seem quite as big as you seem to be making out here in my experience. And the game library dig is hilarious. Been out a week (40+titles) and over 100 titles in the works atm... wtaf?
Quest 2 launched with 100s of titles. Compared to any other vr headset it's limited. I'm enjoying my psvrv2 also but people need to accept shortcomings
95% of the titles are games that have been out for years on other VR platforms though. One of the big reasons I'm not terribly interested. Buying a game I've already played for twice the cost I originally paid for a slight upgrade just isn't worth $1000. Exclusives are cool but there's currently what 3? 4? I'm sure more will arrive but I'm guessing a great number of them will again just be PCVR or Quest titles I've already played.
Well I’ve been thinking of upgrading my VR experience for over a year now. What stopped me was having to buy a Windows🤮 gaming computer that would cost more than the PS5/PSVR2 combined. And the computer would be mostly a brick except for VR as I already own an M1 Mac Mini, an iPad mini and an iPhone 13. I don’t need another computer. Especially one running Windows🤮 But the PS5 will give me a gaming console and 4K UHD Blu-ray player. And the PSVR2 will give me that upgraded VR experience and in cinematic mode a 1080p Oled Big Screen TV. Sounds like investing in the PlayStation system is a bargain.
I applaud honest reviews that point out real issues. There were so many reviewers who said great things about the headset without bringing up these faults. I used to think this would be a good headset if they added PC support in the future. Now I doubt that it would be a good choice for even that. I will wait for real reviews on the Pimax Crystal or else give up and get a Varjo Aero for my Flight Sim games.
More people like it than don't like it. If you have not used 1 then you have no idea if you will like it or not. I personally don't experience these issues. It will even get better as newer games come out.
@@dcptiv I can totally understand that. But I can probably predict your future right now :) There is an initial wow factor when you experience VR. Over time that will fade and you will begin to become increasingly aggravated by the problems such as reprojection / low resolution / blurriness etc, You will want that initial experience again without the problems so you will either; 1) end up looking into PCVR 2) lose interest and abandon VR. Until VR achieves a point where it is really "good enough" over the long term this cycle continues.
Sony has cultivated a large base of fans they can count on to flood forums and comments sections. You have to wait for the first wave to calm down before you can start getting real impressions. Even here, he is getting flooded with PR from fans. It's so weird.
I can’t play on mine because when I’m in game my right controller buttons don’t work. It works well when I’m in the ps home but in game it doesn’t work and I can fix it. I don’t recommend buying this headset until they fix all the issues it has. Trust me.
Preordered it and I love it and hate it at the same time. 😀 1. Love the OLED panel and at the same time i hate mura and smalll sweet spot 2. Love the haptic feedback on controllers but at the same time I hate them being made for smaller hands and also tracking will struggle in faster paced games like beat saber I will give it a chance for next 6 months or until release of Quest 3 or some new PCVR headset and then maybe sell it. But people have to be aware we will never ever going to get a great headset for cheap price like we did with Quest 2.
@Nelson Lacayo nah definitely, gaming equipment is my only vice. While other people spend their money on cigarettes, expensive clothing and some other things I spend mine on games and tech.
I got mine at launch and love it. But it doesn’t hurt to wait. It will get cheaper and more games are coming and develops are good at finding and fixing issues the longer it’s out.
Reason to buy a PSVR2, RE8, NMS, upcoming RE4 remake, GT7, and TWD Retribution. But. Who know what else we could see in the next year or so..the future of VR has never been in a better place
My PSVR2 controllers doesn't work properly ingame, and I'm not alone. Playstation support says that their engineers are working on an update, but right now I can only play Gran Turismo 7 in VR. That's a pretty good reason to not buy PSVR2 right now, that it's totally BROKEN if you have this bug. You should have mentioned this bug, it's a pretty common issue actually. Some workarounds work for some, but not all, and needs to be done every time you start a game, like hardware resetting the controllers while in the game. Totally unacceptable.
Really happy with my purchase and future prospects but this is a totally fair list of issues. You actually missed what I think personally is the biggest problem (although this may be true of all headsets). For certain head types, the PSVR2 is really uncomfortable, more so than PSVR1. I try everything suggested but it still slides down the front of my face and hurts the bridge of my nose. The alternative being to tighten it so it doesn’t slip from the sweet spot but get your brain squeezed. It fits great for some, not for others. We need good third party head straps soon.
I think the headset needs to be broken in but I do feel psvr1 was more comfortable….but I found a good position for it and can play for about more then 1 hour until I need a break
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the strobing you see with smooth turning is a reprojection issue. Reprojection adds an inbetween frame to the 60 fps content with a rotational offset to make it 120 fps accounting for any head rotation in every other 1/120th sec, while with smooth turning the head is typically barely moving and it's completely reliant on the 60 fps content, so it strobes. You can see the difference if you rotate your head then compare that to a smooth turn. Head rotation is smooth because of reprojection, smooth turning is strobing because it's only 60 fps without motion blur. There are of course other situations where you will get reprojection issues but that's more with positional than rotational change which it can't really deal with. Native 90 fps would be slightly less smooth for head turning but smooth turning would be improved to that same level, and there would be no reprojection artefacts anywhere.
Glad someone mentioned the motion blurring and ghosting. It's really bad and keeps me from playing RE8 and Horizon. Obviously others don't mind it but probably because I am used to sharp image while turning on PCVR.
I once had an ASW problem on Quest (before I turned it off) where everything was blurry and swimmy on turning. It was a torture and I stopped playing Fallout 4 VR because of it, until it I fixed it.
It’s pretty obvious. If you already have PC vr not worth it because you already have high end vr. If you don’t have pcvr and want high end vr. This is the cheapest way to get it
@@mitcherny6965 if black levels are more important to you than all the other things you're losing have at it. There are pros and cons of any display tech. OLED is just better for TVs and the like imo. Mura and pixel arrangement aren't noticed when you're feet away from the display, but looking at it through a magnifying glass reveals a bit more of the cons than I like.
@@Thezuule1 I have absolutely no idea who you are or what you are talking about. But if you feel that way then I think you can hide my comments so you don't have to see them.
I love my psvr2 . Selling my quest 2 .. will wait to see how quest 3 turns out .also the psvr 2 just launched and you compare it to quest 2 that’s been out awhile and had tons of updates .
If anything, comparing it to an almost three year old headset isn't fair to the Quest 2. PSVR2 should be so much better than two-three year old tech. Edited because I misremembered the release date.
@@tahustvedt lol. The quest 2 released on october 15 2020. That makes it almost 2 and half years old. Where da funk did you get 4 years from? Say it like it is without the exaggeration
Mura is the oled panel filter to remove screen door effect, oleds have much more space bettween pixels, so a filter is used. psvr2 is probably a hardware filter, but the effect is much lessened if there is no async reprojection. Async puts a 60hz signal to 120hz ,passing the info steroscopicly, so if there is very low light and a light source happens only in one eye, the async passes parts to the other eye because of the reprojection. Hence seeing artifacs much easier. In games that are strait 90hz or 120hz , for example song in tge smoke, the mura is much more hidden and latent effects dont appear.
Mura isn't a filter, it's voltage inconsistency across the panel. It isn't noticeable on a TV many feet away but when you take a magnifying glass to the display it's hard to miss.
@@bonepileofficial well that's wrong too. It's one of the drawbacks of OLED panels. It isn't an effect they added. It's fluctuations in the voltage across the panel like we see in many other OLED panels. We've been dealing with this for years. It's a flaw in the technology.
Yeah, if you don’t have a ps5 its not worth it i have a ps5 and I still haven’t bought it. I keep fighting with myself tho I can’t tell you how many times I have added it to my cart put my credit card information in and circled my finger around the buy button just to pull back and delete it every time I want it so bad, but I feel like I’m going to regret it I was never like that with the PS5 i’m thinking about just ordering it and play it for three or four days and then return it but what if I like it somebody help me out what should I do? Its a lot of money but on the other hand, I’m a first time VR user I have never bought a VR headset in my life
I’m currently having controller response issues. My trigger buttons refuse to work when I depress them for menu selection. Even resetting them doesn’t solve the issue fully. It makes them work for a split second and then they stop. Def a software issue on that, they need to roll out an update soon. I didn’t buy it JUST to play GT7, lol
I swapped my Reverb G2 for Quest 2 last year for PCVR (bought n sold used Facebook marketplace). Controllers & WMR software for G2 we're a nightmare compared to Quest2. Waiting for the Quest 3. Possibly Bigscreen Beyond, but I'd need base stations and index controllers. I agree when Mateo said we need new games (and PCVR games too plz!), Not new hardware.
I don’t have a PS but I’m happy for those that do! It would be too expensive for me! I’m happy with my Quest 2/PCVR with my bhaptics vest. I’m waiting to see what else comes out. Until then, I’m happy!
The comfort and screen of the headset really disappointed me. When I get into the small sweet spot, there is too much pressure on my head. The Mura is the thing I cant get over especially when getting used to the quest 2 for the past couple of years.
The PSVR2 hasn’t had mixed reviews, it’s had excellent reception and reviews. That’s just misrepresenting the reviews out there. And also, buying a quest and playing games on it also is a bad gamer move in that it pushes for longer VR game which we will all complain about. If you think an ecosystem is bad, then try actually not encouraging it.
I really want an upgrade for my quest2, but every new headset seems to have some major downside. For psvr2 its the fresnel lenses, I’m sick of all the rays and the tiny sweet spot of focus on the q2, I think whatever I get next needs to have those pancake lenses.
Thank you for the video. Will you make a video of why you might consider a PS5? There is a point you mentioned that if VR was not for you, you would lose 400$ instead of a 1000$. I have to partially disagree here. You mentioned this point before. The PS5 is a great console in itself, so getting a PS5 is always a big plus for gamers. Now if a person only bought the PS5 for VR then got disappointed, that is something else.
@@matheuscabral9618 I actually saw some people doing so, but they were VR enthuasts. I don't know how it turned out with them, but the overall reception is very positive.
I would never recommend a Quest 2 to someone i actually care about. I would say save money for the PSVR2 or save for a PC headset if they have a high end gaming PC. Otherwise, they should wait out 😆
I am happy so far with my PSVR 2 purchase. I don't really notice all the graphical issues some people keep talking about. mura, ghosting, etc. But if they stop releasing good exclusives for the PSVR 2 then I might end up selling it eventually and using the money to upgrade to a better VR headset for PC. I already had a PS5 for my son and because I love Horizon Zero Dawn series. I really would like an upgraded Astrobot or an Astrobot 2 though.
@@Gamingwithmatteo311 I started VR'ing in 2016 with the HTC Vive, then I bought a Valve Index, and a Quest 2. Now I have the PSVR 2. I've played a lot of VR games. I didn't even bother trying to sell my HTC Vive a couple years ago because the headset was going for $100.00 on eBay and I knew nobody would want it considering how bad the screen door effect was so I ended up just throwing it in the trash. Made me a little sad considering how much money I initially spent on it. At least I could use the light houses for my Index though.
@@turgrodan1018 There are so many more people who like the PSVR2 than don't like like it. Just scroll through the comments & its hard to find someone who does not like it. It seems some PC VR content creators just really don't like comparable VR performance on a console, like it's a PC only thing or something.
@@Gamingwithmatteo311 ok, I started playing Resident Evil Village and now I can see the mura effect. Its like a screen door effect. Its a little annoying but when I'm concentrating on the game, I don't really notice it much.
I bought a PS5 just for this & yep I am happy. My Xbox series X has not been on since the 22nd. Gaming started for me in 1981 on the Atari 2600 & if you do not think this VR/PS5 combo is fantastic then you probably are under 25 & started gaming on a PC game rig.
I’ve had a index in the past. I have a rift s, psvr1, quest 1 and a psvr1. The psvr2 is OK. I don’t mind being tethered but it’s not as good as I thought and it he ipd is barely cutting it for my eyes. I give it a 6 or 7 out of 10
Hoping to see one in person soon to compare to my Pico 4 (which I only use with PCVR). From what I've seen after launch it doesn't look anywhere near as good as the pre launch hype made it out to be.
Good video. Well, I don't like Sony because of some issues we had wth different products in the past. But for the sake of VR I hope it will become a success. I own the Pico 3 because of the dp connection. The Quest 2 has never been an alternative for me because of the hardware limitations. Yes, fresnell lenses shouldn't appear in new headsets and a DP port instead of USB shouldn't be a problem aswell. For higher resolutions in gaming GPU aren't fast enough. But much better than the 320x200 VR generation 1 I started with. And with software, I like the all in one Steam store.
So funny I've got a valve index too and for Matteo to not agree it's a generational leap, he has to have a 5000 dollar pc, and even then the colors and hdr, are so good 🤔
Not everyone sees what u see looks ok to me and I been doing vr since dk1 kit from oculus, I think it's worth it's price, alot of people won't even notice screen door unless ur really looking for it ...Pico sucks content aint much and they laying off employees I think it will fail...we need more content and features than just new hardware
It’s going to be a long wait for oled/eye tracking/pancake lens/extra wide fov/ super light weight/no cable/ultra graphics headset with 300 titles for 500 usd lolo
I'm somewhat new to VR. I tested Oculus rigs a few times. But you needed a killer PC for those so it kept me from buying those. With psvr, I already had ps5 for a year. So to me it was worth paying for the headset. Man, I was blown away. And playing resident evil blew me away with just the demo.
I bought the Meta quest 2 about 4 days ago and I really enjoy it for the first 2 days. But after that it leave a lot to be desire. The graphics are poor for me and movement in games feel so weird. It's like I can never turn smoothly with the stick..always jumping 45 or 90 degrees. I don't like it. I considered returning it but my nephew loves it and I might just give it to him.
PSVR2 will be more successful than PSVR1 but it won't be a blockbuster hit. Engineers gotta do some sorcery that no one will get sick from it, it has to be cheap, needs a lot of AAA games, it has to be comfortable for all head shapes, and it has to be small like a pair of glasses. VR has a loong way to go, but I know they're going to keep pushing it until its ubiquitous
Question. Should I get a psvr 2 now or wait for quest 3. As I want to play certain games that require pcvr. But I don't know if I should sacrifice pcvr to get a psvr 2.
I see zero screen door effect but I have noticed some Mura effect. Other then that this is an amazing headset. And game are great; I have had many headsets including the original pace which had screen door effect haze. This one blows the first out of the water. But wish the had used LCD or different lenses. But I'm pretty happy with it.
I’m trying to convince my self the vr was worth the money but it’s hard for me to get over the screen door effect now that I know it’s not just a faulty head set I might just return mine instead of switching one out
I’m having a load of fun but I’m having a bit of blur and nothing is helping I’ve never had vr experience so idk if it’s normal but it makes aiming annoying
Moving the sticks while rotating in horizon causes some weird issues for me. It makes me VR sick. Rotating my head works fine. I hope they will fix this with an update patch. You are the first one who has said something about this that I’ve seen. Everything else seems perfectly fine for me. Thanks for pointing this out.
@@Gamingwithmatteo311 their is blurry effect on the sides where my eyes dosen’t look, but where i look ecerything looks great, but it can be tricky to set up the sweetspot, what i really like with them is that it just plug and play very essy to use
Hmm. Your comment at 2 mins and 18 secs about the image being blurry is extremely exaggerated as I've played the game and I haven't experienced anything like that.
People need to understand that some people are more susceptible to different artifacts. Like people complain about god rays and they've never bothered me on a single hmd. Sorry but I've never seen this issue on any other headset and its rough. I can move past it but yuck
@@dcptiv That's not the issue. The issue is that some of the buttons and thumbsticks doesn't work ingame for many people. They work in the playstation menus, but stop working ingame. It's a common gamebreaking bug many of us have. We who have it can only play Gran Turismo 7 with VR effects right now, since that game use the normal PS5 controller in VR.
Psvr 2 as I’ve argued many times is not the headset to rule them all. It’s there for people who can’t deal with PC’s and prefer the ease of consoles and all ready own a ps5 and maybe the odd person who is quest 2 or pico 4 stand alone only who want a better headset but don’t want the hassle of a pc. I’m on pc and like all other pc owners there’s literally no point us buying a ps5 and psvr 2 UNTIL the games library is so unique to steam that we have to buy it. If I bought a ps5 and psvr 2 currently all I’d be doing is downgrading my current visual experience and having to be wired too, so it’s utterly pointless. I don’t see me on psvr 2 until the earliest the end of this year when the games library gets padded out more with games I can’t buy on steam. If the games are amazing I couldn’t care less about visual issues, I’ll happily trade it off. I’ve seen so many pcvr folks buy psvr 2 and they have all ready returned it.
There is something to be said saying this psvr is bad when you have a sponsor who directly competes and your comment section seems to disagree. Hi, my name is mike and i say to skip coke, but first, this video is brought to you by pepsi and dr. Pepper.
His sponsor sells third party facial interfaces and stuff. He isn't sponsored by Meta and if you spent much time here you'd know he's always willing to take a shit on the Quest.
If I find enough VRiends, a cool option might be to share the PSVR2. Buy the gear and the exclusive games, play through them and give it to the next person. Do this with 10 people, and for 100$ each, you get to experience some cool games and/or will know if VR is for you?
How is the tracking compared to say, the HP Reverb G2. I deal with the G2 because I'm waiting on whatever valve announces (hopefully not too much longer), but I was using my nephew's quest on my PC and was doing a lot better in shooting games like Range is Hot and H3VR. Wireless is nice, but I can deal with a pulley, the tracking has been driving me crazy lately though. Another issue is that WMR Portal and SteamVR running together usually take up something like 6GB VRAM on their own. Whenever I can run something via OpenComposite instead of SteamVR i get a HUGE jump in performance. I get good performance with the quest over airlink, but I'm still limited to 72fps instead of the 90 I've gotten used to.
@@Gamingwithmatteo311 The Quest 2 is about the worst I would ever want. Good for inside out, but I'm trying to make a decision right now. Buckle and get a Quest 2 since it takes WMR out of the equation and my VR performance is through the roof good, plus improved tracking. OR, get base stations and knuckles for the G2, which keeps the Steam/WMR performance issues. OR wait for valve to release something. new.
@@Gamingwithmatteo311 if they don’t there might not be a reason to upgrade either. I just want to upgrade already! 😆 I feel like not having eye tracking is a big mistake on Meta’s part if true
Foveated rendering is only giving about 30% performance boost at best in mobile. The next generation XR2 chip will be close to twice the performance and a depth sensor will let it do mixed reality apps. But it's a better option to just have a faster chipset that will help with more tasks than foveated rendering would.
I am trying it with No Man's Sky just ordered mine because I can't afford a computer just yet looks pretty promising I know people have their opinion but this is more of a you have to buy it type thing computer hardware is expensive so it makes sense to buy a PlayStation VR2 I will also say Facebook products suck no offense......

I know many people have mentioned this but I’m loving my PSVR 2. To me, it’s a significant upgrade to the Quest 2 (even with its drawbacks). I especially love the eye tracking and the comfort it has right off the bat (especially since I can wear my glasses comfortably in it). Funny thing I have played No Mans Sky on both PCVR and PSVR2 just recently and honestly I’d prefer playing it on PSVR 2 for the comfort and better performance while boosting amazing graphics. Although I totally get why it may not be for everyone. I think it’d be an amazing headset for everyone to try at least once in some way to see if it is for them. I hope that Sony succeeds with this headset for the sake of the industry.
I agree. It's way better than quest 2.
Is it still worth getting a Quest 2? I trying to decide whether to get a Q2 or PSVR2. It'll be my first VR headset. There are a lot more games I want to play on PCVR. I'm dying to play Half-life Alyx. PSVR2 has only 2 I want to play, GT7 and Res Evil 4 Remake coming.
@@mcg354
PC is great if you are prepared to install mods and tweak settings.
Res Evil 4 remake is already known to be getting a VR mod and there are many comparable driving sim games on PC such as Automobilista 2 , F1 2022 etc. and GT7 may come to PC later.
The best content for Alyx is the mods many of which are better than the main game.
Between the praydog UE mod and the work of other modders and other injectors you can play pretty much any game in VR if you have a GPU that can handle it. But, be aware that if you want to run the really high fidelity games like Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts legacy perfectly you basically need a 4090.
The only reasons to get PSVR2 are lower cost , ease of use and possibly exclusives.
Q2 standalone is ok for simple games like beat sabre, synth riders etc but it is trash for anything else being totally honest
@@mcg354 that’s a really good question. In my opinion, if you already have a PS5 and/or are not planning on getting into PC gaming of any kind soon, I think it’s worth getting the PSVR2 first. It’s also worth it if you want to support the VR industry by supporting a company that has you in mind and are kind of sick how Meta has been treating the industry (like me personally). With the PSVR2, it’s honestly pretty close to PCVR quality for gaming. Although if you are planning to get into PC gaming, I’d recommend getting the Quest 2 then as that is an affordable and a great way to get into PCVR gaming in general - also you would also need to get some third party accessories to make your PCVR gaming experience somewhat comfortable. The default face plate and the strap on the Quest 2 headset is very uncomfortable.
If I believed the psvr 2 was better than the quest 2, i’d buy it but i’m not convinced. Owners are raving about it but this is still the honeymoon period. Quest 2 doesnt have issues with a small sweet spot or mura effect. Has built in speakers. Controllers have like 20 hour battery life. You can choose from many different headstraps. There’s lots of third party peripherals available like controller covers and gun or golf club attachments. All games essentially have demos since all can be tried for an hour and refunded with no issue. Wireless is far better for fitness games. PCVR capable. Has social games like VR chat and RecRoom. Virtual tourism games like Wander and Google Earth VR. Has CZcams VR and lots of VR films built into the headset software. Has some great free games like Blaston, Hyperdash, and Pokerstars. Population One is going free. VR games on Steam can be had for lower prices and can be tried for an hour. Quest 2’s hand tracking and guardian system seem to work better. You can stream the headsets display to a friends smartphone and record live video of the game plus video of the headset wearer embedded into the game footage. Lots of games are cross buy so you get the pcvr and native quest versions. Games have multi generational support. You have controller free hand tracking. You have an abundance of different home environments to choose from. You have fully functional web browsers that can play VR videos. Multiplayer games will have much larger pools of players. You can buy it from a retail store so returns and exchanges are faster and easier. And the Quest 3 is going to be even better, and most likely won’t cost more than the psvr 2. Hopefully Sony brings some good exclusives. They’ll need it.
I mostly love my PSVR2 future for VR games experience. I played 23 Hours the GT7 awesome!
It is AWESOME!
Is it still good if you don't have a steering wheel?
@@stuntmonkey3550 it is
@@stuntmonkey3550 No, my G29 steering wheel with GT7 VR excellent.
The PSVR2 is, to me, the most compelling option on the market because I don't own a VR capable PC and have no interest in plunking down the cash for one, and I won't buy a Quest because I refuse to give Facebook/Meta any money. It helps that the PSVR2 is, pound for pound, one of the strongest HMDs on the market at the moment.
Worth every penny for me, hands down the greatest gaming experience I’ve ever had in 30+ years of gaming. Horizon is legendary, the amount of interaction with the environment that you can have fun with will have you in one area of the game for hours just manipulating and interacting, that’s industry game changing and setting the bar extremely high for VR games going forward. Res Village VR took what was revolutionary from Skydance Interactives Walkding Dead Saints and Sinners back in May of 2020 to be able to on the fly quickly switch through your inventory on your person with various motions from your controllers and slapped it on a RE skin and bam you have an incredibly scary and interactive title! Song in the Smoke is another Oldy but goody remastered for PSVR2 same with No Mans Sky, playing that with VR will blow your mind. I don’t know but for me a recipe for success is tech and titles and so far PSVR2 is on the right track for both, if Sony keeps up the titles and remasters for PSVR2 going forward it’s going to be a thrill ride not to be missed.
Confirmed as of today there’s 93+ titles in development for PSVR2. That’s my take so far I’m happy with it, poor as &$@# but happy with my purchase and excited for the future! 😎
Calm down mate!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@MidnightPodcastGaming no, let him. Let him give in to the PSVR2 cult! We offer plenty of sweets. Hehe.
Joking aside, he is expressing how excited I am for the PSVR2 as well.
I hate fans that think they are salesmen.
@@mornova9510 The PSVR 2 is decent, far from great. That's just a fact. Let's all be 100% honest here. But sure, I dig it too. I'll dig it 100x more when Rad update their app ;)
@@MidnightPodcastGaming no, it's awesome. For 600$ you are getting what PCVR offers with 1500$ of headset+controllers. But you also need a beefy PC that is gonna well into 1500-1800$ to run a game as well as PSVR thanks to foveated rendering, while a PS5 is 500$.
So it's 1100$ for the tech PCVR offers for 3000$ plus. That 3 times more.
I had some problems like mura effect in super dark images in Re8 and kayak VR.
It's not the most comfortable.
It had some specific controls issues but mainly on Re8.
still, i played 3 hours in a row today and time flies FAST in VR. it's pure fun.
It's not a 10/10 but it's sure as hell a 9/10.
And with PCVR the best you can get is a 9.5/10 with many problems and for 5 times the price.
Thing is, nothing is perfect. Nothing will ever be perfect. It will always be a
price:quality ratio and the psvr2 is hands down the BEST bang for your buck VR headset. The competition is not even CLOSE.
I'm hyped af for the next PSVR. Sony killed it. And it's not because of the problems or that I don't like it. It's the same hype I have for the ps6. Honestly, i didn't even think k would be hyped about this shit before getting a PS5 and then the psvr2.
Sony brought back the hype for me.
Way more than the hype I had going from PS2 to PS3 and then PS4. Maybe similar to going from PS1 to PS2 but that's mainly because of mgs2, not the tech itself. It was always about the games, looking better and stuff.
This time, I'm actually hyped about the tech, the loading times, FSR/DLSS supersampling being virtually identical to the native resolution, same for the VR foveated rendering and eye tracking (you literally can see where people are looking at on their avatars in Pavlov. The eyes in game match the real eyes 🤯)
But you just wanna watch porn on it. Gotcha. Just get a shitty 30$ VR for your phone, where you slap your phone on the front as a screen, and do it that way. The quality will be shit anyway because they are using 360 cameras instead of 3D rendered images that you can experience in actual real VR.
Huge fan of PSVR 1. Bought this new hardware on day 1. I’ve always suffered from VR sickness, but it is dramatically reduced on the PSVR2. My biggest frustration is with the “sweet” spot visuals. My eyes drift around to take in the world, and often the visual quality drops abruptly and often. If I look around more with my head than my eyes, it’s not as bad, but I’m surprised it happens at all. I’m happy with the headset, but it’s not perfect.
This is my first VR headset, so I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything and I’m just enjoying the experience. That being said, even as a first time VR user, the “small sweet spot” and “mediocre tracking” seem like they would be unforgivable to more experienced vr users. Still, I don’t own a PC and I’m very glad the PSVR2 is an option for me.
While the psvr2 is not perfect, it is nevertheless the only thing, which keeps me using VR.
The advertisement of 4k picture quality in the headset vs. the reality of what it really looks like definitely bummed me out. This is my 1st VR and didn't know what to expect. It's still really cool though and we're having lots of fun with it.
At first i was dissapointed but now i love my psvr 2. Sweet spot is actually not bad at all and mura is no big deal for me
I love my psvr2
I'm really enjoying mine also
I'd love mine too if not for the device's "control issues".
Pavlov is my game right now
Night and day difference between Sonys first iteration into VR. I just hope that some more games get updated for the new hardware. Skyrim was my fav vr game
Same here! I’m even planning on buying Ported games (ie Star Wars Tales from The Galaxy’s Edge) after playing the demo for it because of the graphical upgrade and the haptics. Even though I already have them on the Quest 2.
Here's a tip on finding the sweet spot. While adjusting your headset. Look with one eye only in each lens. When the words on one side of the headset are clear as the other side, you have a sweet spot and then can open both eyes .
PSVR2 All day, baby. Everybody should buy it you can always return it. Let's gooooooooo
I have a love hate relationship with my PSVR 2. It's hard to find the sweet spot, my head hurts, my eyes hurt a little at the beginning and it's blurry. But I still had/have the best experiences with it of all the VR devices I own. I essentially bought the device with GT7 in mind. Coupled with a racing sim, it's the best thing ever.
You say your head hurts. Did you play the psvr 1? And if you did is it worse in terms of comfortability?
@@stuntmonkey3550 I feel it’s more comfortable than PSVR1 but not at first because I was wearing it wrong. Also found I had a tendency to crank it too tight and push the faceplate too tight to my face. After I got use to it and backed off on the tightness I found it comfortable and it still didn’t move. So basically it takes a little patience but once you get it it’s easy to find it again.
@@stuntmonkey3550 I don't really remember if the PSVR 1 was more comfortable, it's been awhile but in terms of weight redistribution, it's better. Feels light for the size, probably because of its cheap materials and the fact that like I said, weight is being redistributed more efficiently.
@@74Spyderman I have the same problem, I crank it too much, but if I don't the headset falls a tiny bit down and makes the screen blurry. I can see a difference when I realize that it's blurry and lift the headset up and then I crank it up to make it more stable but then because of that my head hurts and the nose borders are scraping my nose.
I turned the brightness down in the headset and that makes it far better on the eyes. I struggled with the PSVR because of the image. The bump in resolution of the PSVR2 has helped that and reducing the brightness. Meaning I have already completed Moss, played way more GT7 than I thought I would manage and got through the Res 8 demo. I’m still taken back by the GT7 experience, 2D seems dull in comparison. Keep my sessions in shortish bursts. All we need now is an Astrobot update…
Hell Yeah !! That is the first HONEST review I`ve seen.
There is so much disinformation/lying by omission from most other content creators many gaslighting their audience basically implying "you are just not wearing it right" when (for example) some new VR user genuinely asks a valid question like "is it supposed to be this blurry?" or "what is this ghosting/double vision when I`m turning ?"
I get it . We all want VR to succeed but it does the industry no good if new users return or sell their headsets and never try VR again because they think PSVR2 with all its problems is the best VR has to offer.
Honest but one-sided. I would have liked a title more like '5 reasons to buy YES, and 5 reasons NO'. Perhaps it's just me really wanting VR to take off, but negative titles like this can sway the average viewer who may not watch every video that comes up. And honest or not, the 90% negative content featured here is pretty dissuading. Just suggesting a little more balance. For example, two-and-a-half AAA launch games and ~40 alongside is incredible by any standard, and there's a lot to come. This headset is awesome.
@@luyixi you have to understand that matteo isn't a psvr only channel. So you want him to lie to push vr in your narrative? Lol He also has a pcvr audience that's not buying into the youtube psvr 2 hype train. Nobody on the pcvr side would buy psvr 2 for climb fest horizon. We already played re8 modded and even seen playthroughs of re8 native vr..jump out of body leaving you to stare at your 3rd person body. Thats unacceptable for a native vr game especially when a modded re8 pcvr has never done that. You can watch petrifying pumpkins playthrough to see what I'm talking about. In the beginning when the guy comes down with the hammer. Totally killing his first playthrough experience. We as vr consumers need to know this information..not bs lies
And totally agree with you. A lot of vr youtubers are showing their desperation for psvr 2 subs for sure. Lol you can totally see them being very careful with the way they word anything negative about the psvr 2.
The ps vr2 is amazing salute from the Netherlands my fellow vr gamers.
What I really miss, and still play frequently, is Farpoint. Nothing comes near this in VR. I loveeeeeeee this game and I'm waiting for its second iteration to go and buy PSVR2.
Yeah the farpoint and aim combo was so good! Imagine a new Aim controller with the sense and haptic feedback on PSVR2 running Farpoint 2:)
@@MrPati0 oh man... that sounds sweeeeetttttt 😁😁😁 I'm dying to know what the hell happened to those "survivers" that kept walking in Farpoint. The storyline was amazing and the all ambiance sounds were so awesome.
Fairpoint is the best vr game I've ever played. Hopefully we get a part 2 on psvr 2
Amazing exclusives, amazing haptics, and crazy oled lighting effects and blacks - - watching fire in a dark room has never looked so mesmerizing in vr - - resident evil 8 is the best thing I've ever experienced in vr, even over alyx in my opinion - - quest 3 is exciting but only if they have great games - quest 2 only had one great game, RE 4 and the rest were just mediocre
You can also count on the meta 3 not having anywhere near the graphics or immersion as good as PSVR2
As I mentioned
I'm loving my psvr 2, it blows my quest away ,stand alone and even when I connect it to my pc it still doesn't beat it, don't get me started on the pc stuff that's always a battle to get running smoothly setting adjustments, drivers ect that has its own host of problems.
I agree it's much better than quest 2
The Q2 is a three year old mobile device. What did you expect?
I got Dirt Rally 2 running pretty good on PC but I don't have project Cars 2 running properly on PC. I'm just too lazy to dig through all the documentation on the internet to get it tuned right. I'm thankful that I will be able play GT7 without having to fiddle with any settings. I have the game but just haven't had time to play it yet.
I already own a PS5 and I expect the Quest 3 will not be as heavily subsidized as the Quest 2 and be almost the same price. My biggest issue is the small sweet spot for the lenses.
I own a PS5, but my problem is that if I wanted to play PSVR2 right now, I couldn't. My wife chats with our kid on the phone while they play Genshin Impact several nights a week, and plays the game a ton anyway. I could play with my Quest 2, but because it is tethered to the console, I would have to kick my wife off.
I'm sort of interested for racing games, because I think the power and resolution will be put to good use in those games. But there are so many drawbacks by the cheap way Sony went about this.
Psvr 2 is absolutely amazing im loving mine absolutely worth it 😀😃🙂
As always, I absolutely love those VR-philosophy oriented videos of yours! I can't understand why you don't have at least the same amount of subs as Thrillseeker and those larger channels. I feel like I'm on the same page regarding PSVR2. While I don't see the need for one in my collection at this time, having played everything it has to offer except the 3 originals, I still really hope that Sony will succeed and bring VR games to the next level. This is a very important HMD for the entire industry, and while not for everyone, I hope it'll bring more PS5 players into VR and help VR to move forward! Sony is focused on games while Meta is focused on... Well, no one seems to know.

Matteo, I think you are spot on with everything you said in this video. The reprojection is really horrible on this headset. I was surprised to discover that the biggest drawback to this system is ps5 combined with Sony's stance on reprojection. The image distortion and warping nearly made me RMA my headset because I thought my lenses were messed up. I have been an index gamer for 3 years and have extensively used quest 2. My second biggest gripe is comfort, it's just not a comfortable headset for me with my small IPD, and the sweet spot. In order to get a crisp image the lenses have to rest on my nose, and after a few times of moving my head around, the halo strap just slides out of place. And the padding is just thin rubber.
Lastly, I don't think the benefits of OLED (or at least the panels in this headset) outweigh the cons. For a display that is running at nearly double the total pixel count as the index, it's a step back in clarity and sharpness. Sony could have picked something like Quest 2 or Index resolution with LCD panels and pancake lenses for a significantly better and more clear experience. It would be a sharper image that requires less hardware load to run and no one would be complaining about the image quality. Yes, colors and blacks would take a hit but I find those secondary to sharpness.
Yeah, The clarity and sharpness of PSVR2 is worse than almost any headset even Rift-S which is closer to PSVR1 resolution.
I think the internal render resolution (lack of Super Sampling) is also a factor in that.
It will be interesting to see how the headset actually performs if it is hacked to work on PC.
There is also the issue of including eye tracking but negating the benefits of that my using a lens that only looks clear in the centre.
Really bizarre decision not to use pancake lenses.
try pulling the lense out they shouldn't be on your nose
@@scottd7222 yep i know, sweet spot is stupid small then. What is frustrating is that once I get it in the ideal spot for my head shape, I can't just leave the headset like that all the time. Each time you put it on you have to re-adjust it. My index on the other hand is set and adjusted to exactly where I like it and I just toss it on my head and go.
I'm a vr enthusiast. I want to see vr succeed period. I don't want vr to die out. As soon as I heard the psvr2 was being developed, I planned on getting it. I love my quest2 and my psvr1 despite its flaws. That said, I'm shocked the psvr2 has a noticeable screen door effect. I thought that was pretty much a thing of the past. All vr headsets have it, but it's almost not discernable anymore. I'm still getting a psvr2, but I really think the oled may have been a mistake.
Same here! I don't believe VR will ever die out at this point, as I think we have come too far for that to happen. It's the same thing I heard about Virtual assistants (such as the Echo) and all the doomsaying I have been reading how it was a failed technology. The worst websites to read about all this new tech are sites like Forbes because investors are biased. They WANT things like this to fail because they do not like betting on something that's not a "sure thing."
VR is here to stay. The question is when will it take the mainstream by storm? It's happening but slowly.
I have to look very hard to see a screen door. While I'm playing the game, I absolutely don't notice it at all.
The OLED is pentile so has only 2 subpixels instead of 3.That's why there is still screen door effect. I'd still much rather have pentile OLED than crappy LCD.
hmmm, my personal experience with the controller tracking for the Quest 2 wasn't that good to be honest - there was a lot of controller shake at times. The Pico 4 seemed much better (maybe due to the slight re-orientation of the tracking rings). Overall, the quest 2 controller tracking was a lot more consistent than the PS moves for the OG PSVR of course, but even then with the set up I had, I could get the moves to track smoother than the quest in Beat saber. Can't say that I've noticed any problems with controller tracking on the PSVR2 so far, other than in game issues of arms going off at funny angles (but that's the game, not the tracking, the hands were tracked fine) and I'm betting that there will be a refinement of the tracking software over time anyway (the quest 2 has had a long time to try to get this right - PSVR 2 is not even 2 weeks after release yet). I've had a few drop outs for tracking of the headset but not the controllers. The tight sweet spot is an issue though - the calibration routine helps, but I'm puzzled why Sony went from normal lenses in the PSVR to the fresnel lenses in PSVR 2. It might be a habit thing, but I do think the headband was ever so slightly more comfortable on the original PSVR as well - both are still better than just about every other stock headstrap arrangement though and the new face gasket is superb.
Couldn't disagree more..
Love my psvr2.
None of the "issues" seem quite as big as you seem to be making out here in my experience.
And the game library dig is hilarious.
Been out a week (40+titles) and over 100 titles in the works atm... wtaf?
Quest 2 launched with 100s of titles. Compared to any other vr headset it's limited. I'm enjoying my psvrv2 also but people need to accept shortcomings
95% of the titles are games that have been out for years on other VR platforms though. One of the big reasons I'm not terribly interested. Buying a game I've already played for twice the cost I originally paid for a slight upgrade just isn't worth $1000. Exclusives are cool but there's currently what 3? 4? I'm sure more will arrive but I'm guessing a great number of them will again just be PCVR or Quest titles I've already played.
Well I’ve been thinking of upgrading my VR experience for over a year now. What stopped me was having to buy a Windows🤮 gaming computer that would cost more than the PS5/PSVR2 combined.
And the computer would be mostly a brick except for VR as I already own an M1 Mac Mini, an iPad mini and an iPhone 13. I don’t need another computer. Especially one running Windows🤮
But the PS5 will give me a gaming console and 4K UHD Blu-ray player. And the PSVR2 will give me that upgraded VR experience and in cinematic mode a 1080p Oled Big Screen TV.
Sounds like investing in the PlayStation system is a bargain.
Absolutely it's a deal compared to pc. Every platform has their own pros and cons
How bad is your screen door effect? On mine I can constantly see it. It's like a uniform grid on bight surfaces with black dots and halos around them.
I applaud honest reviews that point out real issues. There were so many reviewers who said great things about the headset without bringing up these faults. I used to think this would be a good headset if they added PC support in the future. Now I doubt that it would be a good choice for even that. I will wait for real reviews on the Pimax Crystal or else give up and get a Varjo Aero for my Flight Sim games.
More people like it than don't like it. If you have not used 1 then you have no idea if you will like it or not. I personally don't experience these issues. It will even get better as newer games come out.
@@dcptiv I can totally understand that. But I can probably predict your future right now :)
There is an initial wow factor when you experience VR.
Over time that will fade and you will begin to become increasingly aggravated by the problems such as reprojection / low resolution / blurriness etc,
You will want that initial experience again without the problems so you will either;
1) end up looking into PCVR
2) lose interest and abandon VR.
Until VR achieves a point where it is really "good enough" over the long term this cycle continues.
Sony has cultivated a large base of fans they can count on to flood forums and comments sections. You have to wait for the first wave to calm down before you can start getting real impressions. Even here, he is getting flooded with PR from fans. It's so weird.
How do u know its honest review? Don't lick he's ass. He is garbage
I can’t play on mine because when I’m in game my right controller buttons don’t work. It works well when I’m in the ps home but in game it doesn’t work and I can fix it. I don’t recommend buying this headset until they fix all the issues it has. Trust me.
Preordered it and I love it and hate it at the same time. 😀
1. Love the OLED panel and at the same time i hate mura and smalll sweet spot
2. Love the haptic feedback on controllers but at the same time I hate them being made for smaller hands and also tracking will struggle in faster paced games like beat saber
I will give it a chance for next 6 months or until release of Quest 3 or some new PCVR headset and then maybe sell it.
But people have to be aware we will never ever going to get a great headset for cheap price like we did with Quest 2.
Yet again people buy 1000 dollar concert ticket or shoe for fun.
@Nelson Lacayo nah definitely, gaming equipment is my only vice. While other people spend their money on cigarettes, expensive clothing and some other things I spend mine on games and tech.
I got mine at launch and love it. But it doesn’t hurt to wait. It will get cheaper and more games are coming and develops are good at finding and fixing issues the longer it’s out.
Reason to buy a PSVR2, RE8, NMS, upcoming RE4 remake, GT7, and TWD Retribution. But. Who know what else we could see in the next year or so..the future of VR has never been in a better place
Firewall Ultra and Pavlov
I always wanted to play NMS and fly across galaxies in VR. Sony kinda nailed the experience!
My PSVR2 controllers doesn't work properly ingame, and I'm not alone. Playstation support says that their engineers are working on an update, but right now I can only play Gran Turismo 7 in VR. That's a pretty good reason to not buy PSVR2 right now, that it's totally BROKEN if you have this bug. You should have mentioned this bug, it's a pretty common issue actually. Some workarounds work for some, but not all, and needs to be done every time you start a game, like hardware resetting the controllers while in the game. Totally unacceptable.
Really happy with my purchase and future prospects but this is a totally fair list of issues. You actually missed what I think personally is the biggest problem (although this may be true of all headsets). For certain head types, the PSVR2 is really uncomfortable, more so than PSVR1. I try everything suggested but it still slides down the front of my face and hurts the bridge of my nose. The alternative being to tighten it so it doesn’t slip from the sweet spot but get your brain squeezed. It fits great for some, not for others. We need good third party head straps soon.
I think the headset needs to be broken in but I do feel psvr1 was more comfortable….but I found a good position for it and can play for about more then 1 hour until I need a break
Looks like you need to buy a top strap for it.
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the strobing you see with smooth turning is a reprojection issue. Reprojection adds an inbetween frame to the 60 fps content with a rotational offset to make it 120 fps accounting for any head rotation in every other 1/120th sec, while with smooth turning the head is typically barely moving and it's completely reliant on the 60 fps content, so it strobes. You can see the difference if you rotate your head then compare that to a smooth turn. Head rotation is smooth because of reprojection, smooth turning is strobing because it's only 60 fps without motion blur. There are of course other situations where you will get reprojection issues but that's more with positional than rotational change which it can't really deal with. Native 90 fps would be slightly less smooth for head turning but smooth turning would be improved to that same level, and there would be no reprojection artefacts anywhere.
Glad someone mentioned the motion blurring and ghosting. It's really bad and keeps me from playing RE8 and Horizon. Obviously others don't mind it but probably because I am used to sharp image while turning on PCVR.
I can look past it but it's definitely there and ugly
I once had an ASW problem on Quest (before I turned it off) where everything was blurry and swimmy on turning. It was a torture and I stopped playing Fallout 4 VR because of it, until it I fixed it.
It’s pretty obvious. If you already have PC vr not worth it because you already have high end vr. If you don’t have pcvr and want high end vr. This is the cheapest way to get it
The display on the PSVR2 is a reminder of why many VR companies moved away from OLED displays.
I love my Quest 1 OLED display, and don't even want to think of upgrading to Ques 2 LCD.
OLED is far better than LCD. It is one reason why almost everyone is raving about the PSVR2 and no one is raving about the Quest 2.
@@mitcherny6965 if black levels are more important to you than all the other things you're losing have at it. There are pros and cons of any display tech. OLED is just better for TVs and the like imo. Mura and pixel arrangement aren't noticed when you're feet away from the display, but looking at it through a magnifying glass reveals a bit more of the cons than I like.

sorry to hear that
I love my psvr2 . Selling my quest 2 .. will wait to see how quest 3 turns out .also the psvr 2 just launched and you compare it to quest 2 that’s been out awhile and had tons of updates .
If anything, comparing it to an almost three year old headset isn't fair to the Quest 2. PSVR2 should be so much better than two-three year old tech.
Edited because I misremembered the release date.
@@tahustvedt lol. The quest 2 released on october 15 2020. That makes it almost 2 and half years old. Where da funk did you get 4 years from? Say it like it is without the exaggeration
@@Deeone282 sorry. I thought is was 2019. Will change my post. Same point though. Two years is a long time in VR.
Mura is the oled panel filter to remove screen door effect, oleds have much more space bettween pixels, so a filter is used. psvr2 is probably a hardware filter, but the effect is much lessened if there is no async reprojection. Async puts a 60hz signal to 120hz ,passing the info steroscopicly, so if there is very low light and a light source happens only in one eye, the async passes parts to the other eye because of the reprojection. Hence seeing artifacs much easier. In games that are strait 90hz or 120hz , for example song in tge smoke, the mura is much more hidden and latent effects dont appear.
Mura isn't a filter, it's voltage inconsistency across the panel. It isn't noticeable on a TV many feet away but when you take a magnifying glass to the display it's hard to miss.
@@Thezuule1 i should have said " The mura effect your mentioning" ppl are calling it mura, when its the oled panel filter.
@@bonepileofficial well that's wrong too. It's one of the drawbacks of OLED panels. It isn't an effect they added. It's fluctuations in the voltage across the panel like we see in many other OLED panels. We've been dealing with this for years. It's a flaw in the technology.
Yeah, if you don’t have a ps5 its not worth it i have a ps5 and I still haven’t bought it. I keep fighting with myself tho I can’t tell you how many times I have added it to my cart put my credit card information in and circled my finger around the buy button just to pull back and delete it every time I want it so bad, but I feel like I’m going to regret it I was never like that with the PS5 i’m thinking about just ordering it and play it for three or four days and then return it but what if I like it somebody help me out what should I do? Its a lot of money but on the other hand, I’m a first time VR user I have never bought a VR headset in my life
I’m currently having controller response issues. My trigger buttons refuse to work when I depress them for menu selection. Even resetting them doesn’t solve the issue fully. It makes them work for a split second and then they stop. Def a software issue on that, they need to roll out an update soon. I didn’t buy it JUST to play GT7, lol
Apparently if they go below 50% battery it can lead to some tracking issues. There is still time to get a replacement though
I’ve heard it’s just a software issue, no point in sending it back. An update would most likely fix it. Just have to be patient and wait.
I swapped my Reverb G2 for Quest 2 last year for PCVR (bought n sold used Facebook marketplace). Controllers & WMR software for G2 we're a nightmare compared to Quest2.
Waiting for the Quest 3. Possibly Bigscreen Beyond, but I'd need base stations and index controllers.
I agree when Mateo said we need new games (and PCVR games too plz!), Not new hardware.
The PSVR2 game catalog of exclusive games is minimal because it literally just launched a week ago….
yes but compared to the quest 2 or pcvr its much smaller and I mentioned upcoming games. At minimum this is a reason to wait before you buy a PSVR 2
My second quest died so sold the lot and an awaiting my new index just couldn't find a better overall package for money
First intro into VR for me and I’m loving it!
The thumbnail is so ridiculous 😂
It's decent. That's it.
So far, I'm really impressed with PSVR 2. I thought the first iteration of PSVR was pretty gimmicky, so I'm not just being a Sony fanboy.
I don’t have a PS but I’m happy for those that do! It would be too expensive for me! I’m happy with my Quest 2/PCVR with my bhaptics vest. I’m waiting to see what else comes out. Until then, I’m happy!
The comfort and screen of the headset really disappointed me. When I get into the small sweet spot, there is too much pressure on my head. The Mura is the thing I cant get over especially when getting used to the quest 2 for the past couple of years.
The PSVR2 hasn’t had mixed reviews, it’s had excellent reception and reviews.
That’s just misrepresenting the reviews out there.
And also, buying a quest and playing games on it also is a bad gamer move in that it pushes for longer VR game which we will all complain about. If you think an ecosystem is bad, then try actually not encouraging it.
I have a PS5 and I keep thinking of buying this. I think I will wait and see what Quest 3 is.
I really want an upgrade for my quest2, but every new headset seems to have some major downside. For psvr2 its the fresnel lenses, I’m sick of all the rays and the tiny sweet spot of focus on the q2, I think whatever I get next needs to have those pancake lenses.
Thanks for this video the Hype has created a lot of FOMO. Better to make a decision hearing both the pros and cons
Thank you for the video. Will you make a video of why you might consider a PS5?
There is a point you mentioned that if VR was not for you, you would lose 400$ instead of a 1000$. I have to partially disagree here. You mentioned this point before. The PS5 is a great console in itself, so getting a PS5 is always a big plus for gamers. Now if a person only bought the PS5 for VR then got disappointed, that is something else.
Yeah like no one is gonna buy a ps5 exclusively for psvr2
@@matheuscabral9618 I actually saw some people doing so, but they were VR enthuasts. I don't know how it turned out with them, but the overall reception is very positive.
I would never recommend a Quest 2 to someone i actually care about. I would say save money for the PSVR2 or save for a PC headset if they have a high end gaming PC. Otherwise, they should wait out 😆
I am happy so far with my PSVR 2 purchase. I don't really notice all the graphical issues some people keep talking about. mura, ghosting, etc. But if they stop releasing good exclusives for the PSVR 2 then I might end up selling it eventually and using the money to upgrade to a better VR headset for PC. I already had a PS5 for my son and because I love Horizon Zero Dawn series. I really would like an upgraded Astrobot or an Astrobot 2 though.
how familiar with VR were you before PSVR 2. It much harder for new vr gamers to notice
@@Gamingwithmatteo311 I started VR'ing in 2016 with the HTC Vive, then I bought a Valve Index, and a Quest 2. Now I have the PSVR 2. I've played a lot of VR games. I didn't even bother trying to sell my HTC Vive a couple years ago because the headset was going for $100.00 on eBay and I knew nobody would want it considering how bad the screen door effect was so I ended up just throwing it in the trash. Made me a little sad considering how much money I initially spent on it. At least I could use the light houses for my Index though.
@@turgrodan1018 There are so many more people who like the PSVR2 than don't like like it. Just scroll through the comments & its hard to find someone who does not like it. It seems some PC VR content creators just really don't like comparable VR performance on a console, like it's a PC only thing or something.
@@Gamingwithmatteo311 ok, I started playing Resident Evil Village and now I can see the mura effect. Its like a screen door effect. Its a little annoying but when I'm concentrating on the game, I don't really notice it much.
I bought a PS5 just for this & yep I am happy. My Xbox series X has not been on since the 22nd. Gaming started for me in 1981 on the Atari 2600 & if you do not think this VR/PS5 combo is fantastic then you probably are under 25 & started gaming on a PC game rig.
I hope this can push for better games now, instead of the mobile kinda games.
agreed
I’ve had a index in the past. I have a rift s, psvr1, quest 1 and a psvr1. The psvr2 is OK. I don’t mind being tethered but it’s not as good as I thought and it he ipd is barely cutting it for my eyes. I give it a 6 or 7 out of 10
Hoping to see one in person soon to compare to my Pico 4 (which I only use with PCVR). From what I've seen after launch it doesn't look anywhere near as good as the pre launch hype made it out to be.
No issues with mine other than wanting half life alyx for it!
Good video.
Well, I don't like Sony because of some issues we had wth different products in the past. But for the sake of VR I hope it will become a success.
I own the Pico 3 because of the dp connection. The Quest 2 has never been an alternative for me because of the hardware limitations. Yes, fresnell lenses shouldn't appear in new headsets and a DP port instead of USB shouldn't be a problem aswell. For higher resolutions in gaming GPU aren't fast enough. But much better than the 320x200 VR generation 1 I started with.
And with software, I like the all in one Steam store.
Well, I don't like MS and Windows.... but for the Sake of VR, I hope PSVR2 will be supported by Steam OS or Linux...
Call me crazy but coming from the Valve Index it feels like a generational leap.
I can't agree. Some steps forward some side ways one or 2 backwards
So funny I've got a valve index too and for Matteo to not agree it's a generational leap, he has to have a 5000 dollar pc, and even then the colors and hdr, are so good 🤔
@chris bayer I have an rtx 4090 but it's more about the issues I mentioned that the computer
I still love my Index. Its more comfortable that the PSVR 2 for me. I like the off the ear speakers. It is time for a resolution upgrade though.
Not everyone sees what u see looks ok to me and I been doing vr since dk1 kit from oculus, I think it's worth it's price, alot of people won't even notice screen door unless ur really looking for it ...Pico sucks content aint much and they laying off employees I think it will fail...we need more content and features than just new hardware
It’s going to be a long wait for oled/eye tracking/pancake lens/extra wide fov/ super light weight/no cable/ultra graphics headset with 300 titles for 500 usd lolo
May never happen
I'm somewhat new to VR. I tested Oculus rigs a few times. But you needed a killer PC for those so it kept me from buying those. With psvr, I already had ps5 for a year. So to me it was worth paying for the headset. Man, I was blown away. And playing resident evil blew me away with just the demo.
I bought the Meta quest 2 about 4 days ago and I really enjoy it for the first 2 days. But after that it leave a lot to be desire. The graphics are poor for me and movement in games feel so weird. It's like I can never turn smoothly with the stick..always jumping 45 or 90 degrees. I don't like it. I considered returning it but my nephew loves it and I might just give it to him.
Psvr2 will have better games with haptic feedback and super clear visuals
Zonzore, most games if not all will have an option for smooth turning, always check the settings for locomotion options before playing
Sigh.
@@sherkhansher1981 ok I shall do that them. Thanks. I need a racing game for it and I can't find any. I want something with cockpit view.
@@zonzore GT7 and psvr2 is the best combination ever
PSVR2 will be more successful than PSVR1 but it won't be a blockbuster hit. Engineers gotta do some sorcery that no one will get sick from it, it has to be cheap, needs a lot of AAA games, it has to be comfortable for all head shapes, and it has to be small like a pair of glasses. VR has a loong way to go, but I know they're going to keep pushing it until its ubiquitous
Question. Should I get a psvr 2 now or wait for quest 3. As I want to play certain games that require pcvr. But I don't know if I should sacrifice pcvr to get a psvr 2.
Tough one. Hard to say right now
I see zero screen door effect but I have noticed some Mura effect. Other then that this is an amazing headset. And game are great; I have had many headsets including the original pace which had screen door effect haze. This one blows the first out of the water. But wish the had used LCD or different lenses. But I'm pretty happy with it.
I’m trying to convince my self the vr was worth the money but it’s hard for me to get over the screen door effect now that I know it’s not just a faulty head set I might just return mine instead of switching one out
I’m having a load of fun but I’m having a bit of blur and nothing is helping I’ve never had vr experience so idk if it’s normal but it makes aiming annoying
Moving the sticks while rotating in horizon causes some weird issues for me. It makes me VR sick. Rotating my head works fine. I hope they will fix this with an update patch. You are the first one who has said something about this that I’ve seen. Everything else seems perfectly fine for me. Thanks for pointing this out.

People need to understand that some people are more susceptible to different artifacts. Like people complain about god rays and they've never bothered me on a single hmd. Sorry but I've never seen this issue on any other headset and its rough. I can move past it but yuck

Psvr2 is great
Psvr 2 as I’ve argued many times is not the headset to rule them all. It’s there for people who can’t deal with PC’s and prefer the ease of consoles and all ready own a ps5 and maybe the odd person who is quest 2 or pico 4 stand alone only who want a better headset but don’t want the hassle of a pc. I’m on pc and like all other pc owners there’s literally no point us buying a ps5 and psvr 2 UNTIL the games library is so unique to steam that we have to buy it. If I bought a ps5 and psvr 2 currently all I’d be doing is downgrading my current visual experience and having to be wired too, so it’s utterly pointless. I don’t see me on psvr 2 until the earliest the end of this year when the games library gets padded out more with games I can’t buy on steam. If the games are amazing I couldn’t care less about visual issues, I’ll happily trade it off. I’ve seen so many pcvr folks buy psvr 2 and they have all ready returned it.
I wish I would have watched this before I bought mine. All the early reviews ignored all the issues and over hyped it. I am wildly disappointed.
Thanks for the video I was on the fence with psvr2 because it’s so expensive and I’ve kitted out my Quest 2. Now I’ll just wait until the Quest 3
There is something to be said saying this psvr is bad when you have a sponsor who directly competes and your comment section seems to disagree.
Hi, my name is mike and i say to skip coke, but first, this video is brought to you by pepsi and dr. Pepper.
His sponsor sells third party facial interfaces and stuff. He isn't sponsored by Meta and if you spent much time here you'd know he's always willing to take a shit on the Quest.
If I find enough VRiends, a cool option might be to share the PSVR2. Buy the gear and the exclusive games, play through them and give it to the next person. Do this with 10 people, and for 100$ each, you get to experience some cool games and/or will know if VR is for you?
How is the tracking compared to say, the HP Reverb G2. I deal with the G2 because I'm waiting on whatever valve announces (hopefully not too much longer), but I was using my nephew's quest on my PC and was doing a lot better in shooting games like Range is Hot and H3VR. Wireless is nice, but I can deal with a pulley, the tracking has been driving me crazy lately though. Another issue is that WMR Portal and SteamVR running together usually take up something like 6GB VRAM on their own. Whenever I can run something via OpenComposite instead of SteamVR i get a HUGE jump in performance. I get good performance with the quest over airlink, but I'm still limited to 72fps instead of the 90 I've gotten used to.
Honestly the g2 is one of the only headsets I haven't used. It's better than the cosmos, worse than the quest 2
@@Gamingwithmatteo311 The Quest 2 is about the worst I would ever want. Good for inside out, but I'm trying to make a decision right now. Buckle and get a Quest 2 since it takes WMR out of the equation and my VR performance is through the roof good, plus improved tracking. OR, get base stations and knuckles for the G2, which keeps the Steam/WMR performance issues. OR wait for valve to release something. new.
One other reason, I think people with very large hands may have trouble with the controllers until some grip mods are available
I saw some dude on reddit calling this bs. He had monster hands and showed a series of pictures. Who knows?
@@Gamingwithmatteo311 there's always a bigger dude, other people have posted videos, the guy you're talking about has size L, others has XLL
@@esvbanARPGs big people problems. I can't see the quest 2 controllers or index being a better fit then
I hope the Quest 3 does the eye tracking bit so it can give us the best graphics
It looks like it won't have it 😞
@@Gamingwithmatteo311 if they don’t there might not be a reason to upgrade either. I just want to upgrade already! 😆 I feel like not having eye tracking is a big mistake on Meta’s part if true
Foveated rendering is only giving about 30% performance boost at best in mobile. The next generation XR2 chip will be close to twice the performance and a depth sensor will let it do mixed reality apps. But it's a better option to just have a faster chipset that will help with more tasks than foveated rendering would.
I am trying it with No Man's Sky just ordered mine because I can't afford a computer just yet looks pretty promising I know people have their opinion but this is more of a you have to buy it type thing computer hardware is expensive so it makes sense to buy a PlayStation VR2 I will also say Facebook products suck no offense......
I'm with ya
