PS5 thread 2.0

Ah ok I hadn't played Village yet so I thought it was a good sample of the game. I enjoyed VII in vr and first person. From reading the comments under the demo thread on HotUkDeals it seems people were waiting on the third person verson. Some even didn't bother with VII for this reason. Seems strange to me but there you are.

It's weird, I liked the change in 7 and 8 but playing the demo if it was like that originally I wouldn't have minded either! Ppays fine compared to the first person view.

First glimpse of Discord PS5 integration via Discord mobile app beta.

Do you have an Amazon account? I joined the list and then about a month or so ago got an invite and bought one.

You have to turn on dark mode in your android device settings to get it back. Strange update that.

Jaysus. I have a quest 2 but no VR capable graphics card yet for my PC so will have a choice to make. Maybe a few big PSVR2 exclusives will make my mind up but think I'll be waiting to see what titles come out.

would agree on both counts.

Considering the tech, the price is reasonable. Espeically if you compare the price and specs against Meta Quest 2.

But I also think 600 is too much. Yes, it is right for the spec, but it is wrong for the consumer, imo. It will get bought, but I don't think it will really do any better than the PSVR1 did. It needed to be 500max, imo - and whatever reduction in spec was needed to accomplish that.

I'll be there on the day to get it. Have been looking forward to this, and I was expecting 500-600, so not shocked at that. Good to hear some games will be giving free upgrades, Pistol Whip for example. I wonder if Beat Saber will follow suit. Base game should be free at this stage anyway.

Plus, I fully expect a last minute Alyx launch announcement. That'll definitely push people to get it if they're not PCVR. Hopefully Horizon is good too.

Before I got the Quest 2, I tried a few times to set it up. Very little success. And from what I see it can be very limited in use.

It's grand and nothing more. The earcups are a bit small and there's no swivel on the earcups which isn't ideal.

3D sound is done by the console not the headset so don't let that fool you.

If I was buying again I'd up my budget a bit more and get the Steel Series Arctis 7 as they're a far better headset and have been on sale quite a bit for around £100 on Amazon.

Been using my solidly and they're grand. Not exactly build quality of a sennheiser HD25 but they made alien isolation into the game its meant to be

I really like it. Good price and does the job. Integrates well with the system.

I use the Steel Series Arctis 7P+ and it is excellent.

As with everything else on the Console it's a gimmick.

A set of steel series for around 20 quid more will give you same results earphone wise but also work on other devices.

No.

Yep and you can adjust the sound more towards game volume or chat volume.

As I said, I really recommend them. They're a nice piece of kit and I bought them after good reviews from techradar and whathifi and a year on, Im happy with the purchase.

I've never had an issue with my Arctis 7 headset, been using it since 2019.

As for the 7x not working on Playstation, they do. The usb-c dongle that comes with it has a toggle switch that swaps it between PC/Switch/PS/Android and Xbox modes. All of Steelseries wireless Xbox headsets, excluding the Arctis 9x, work on all consoles.

I have the original Arctis 7's for a good few years now, saw me through a ton of college during covid and a ton of gaming over the years.

Still feel great and no real sign of wear. Used them on PS4/PS5 and PC.

Only thing there missing is Bluetooth but I think the later models fixed that iirc.

Got at a great price during black friday too. Had a pair of Siberias before that as well, they were also great but wired, so a bit annoying having the cable hanging around.

Headphones are pretty disposable with me, I tend to wreck them before too long but love my razer kraken tournament edition I've had them for a good few years now and they were relatively cheap. They're a few years old but I still see a lot of streamers using them as they're pretty indestructible even after years of use.

Fully metal headband, Full metal hinges, outer metal ring around earcups as part of the headband. Other headsets might have a metal band or a partially metal hinger but if it's not fully metal or they've not affixed it over a larger area all you're doing is concentrating the stress on the weakest point.

Literally the only and singular issue I've read is one guy was that he managed to snap the 3.5mm jack in half.

They've changed the kraken now but with the exception of the V3 X which they sell as their lightest headset the rest seem to be mostly metal.

Finally get my hands on a PS5 in the morning. How long to get it all set-up with transferring etc.?
