PSVR 2

Impressions from a user on another forum I'm on. He has the full setup.

GT7 & VR is about as close to gaming Nirvana as I have ever experienced though. It's just amazing and anyone who vaguely enjoys racing games/sims, needs to play this. Being honest, i've not played recent PCVR with PC Racing Sims, so I am discounting those people from that comment (as i'm sure that they are just as good, if not better in some ways), but for anyone else, it's amazing. I honestly can't see anything else coming close on PSVR2 for me..for a while at least. I was just lapping a couple of tracks this morning Laguna Seca & Goodwood and it just felt so good. Visually it's really getting there and I would say it's just passed over the cross over point from where VR is a novelty, to where it becomes a proper method of playing games. There's no way I could ever go back to playing GT7 on a flat screen now.

Like these?

Another question to the lucky ones already with PSVR2 kits from me and on behalf of anyone else with similar concerns… I have psoriatic arthritis which affects my hands. For example I get mild stress from regular dualsense gaming already and strong rumble games make this worse….

In the Eurogamer articles it was mentioned that the grip function on the Sense controllers could result in hand stress after fairly short gaming periods. Can anyone shed any further opinions on this as to how significant it is and also is it a regular issues from the majority or games played or is it more specific to certain games (the grip issues as far as I could tell was common from Horizon during the bow sections?) Thank you.

(Already had mention from others about ability to disable rumble on Dualsense which was great) I don’t know if there are calibration options for the grip function on the PSVR2 sense controllers to lessen hand stress from the required grip force being quite high and constant?

I thought it looked very similar to PSVR1 which was a big disappointment. The NMS engine is a bit wank, so I assume they’ve left the res low to keep the frame rate at acceptable VR levels.

Muuuuch better! After seeing you asking about it I installed it and have played for about 40 mins - repaired my suit and ship, flew into space, jumped to another system and landed on a planet to investigate a signal.
It's all really smooth to play and much cleaner to look at (everything is much sharper). The screen door effect is basically gone. The image still doesn't feel completely clean but it's a 90% improvement. Interacting with the systems feels much better due to the sense controls actually being capable controllers, and the haptics are cool. The headset rumbles when you're flying into the atmosphere of a planet!

I had no intention of playing this at all and now I'm really tempted to keep going.

Really? The stuff in the distance looked pretty low res for me and very similar to PSVR 1. Maybe I should give it another go.

It's definitely not as impressive as the new games in terms of asset and texture detail but compared to the VR1 I think it's a lot cleaner and less blurry. Over long distance maybe not so much but you don't really need to be analyzing long ranges. The gloves and accessing menus, things at interactable ranges, and the cockpit of the ship were all much improved, I thought.

I was really unimpressed when I played it on VR1 and I quickly dropped it. This I could play through again.

Yeah I also don't have a racing seat. It's the wheel and pedals that are the important bit!

I bet the gloves are a lie too.

She's shaking her head when she walks in the room and you're on it.

Damn RE:Village is scary in VR - never played the original but this transition gets me a little nervy. Just met the old hag and it's quite weird how she is so well rendered and animated. The crazy dudes with the scraggy hair are fearsome...they all are. Haven't got the castle yet either - I keep looking up and seeing it there...sitting...waiting...beckoning...brooding....nightmares tonight I think.

I’ve got PA as well, interested that you find rumble a problem. I’m on drugs for it now as could barely walk, immune modulators. As a result my hands are much more useful too and could probably even play an fps or action game, but thankfully not interested as it’s high-risk. I ruined my hands pretty much thinking I could play Rock Band Piano back in the day, were totally unusable for a long time. It’s such a weird condition. Being unfit seems to make it worse, but exercise also makes it worse.

It still is Kayak. It has tour modes where you don’t need to paddle, it just slowly drifts you through the environments, but I’d think that gentle paddling would be fine. Just don’t make sharp turns.
