Still nowhere bar GameStop?

mrcheez · 19-01-2023 11:59pm

PSVR Without Parole had an interesting discussion about this in a recent podcast.

What PSVR1 games would you want to see on PSVR2 (that haven't been announced yet)?

For me it's:

Electronauts (easily one of the best experiences I've had in VR, and the haptics on the headset would increase the music atmos)
Skyrim (just to bring it up to the level of the PCVR version, and better controls)
Polybius (not sure if the visuals would be improved actually, since it does have quite basic graphics, but I'm sure it would look even better)
Resident Evil 4 (already on Quest, so at least the VR version is out there.. should be simple to port and with better graphics)
In Death

and never going to happen but we can always dream...

Dreadhalls (was only released on PSVR as part of a compilation but still the scariest game I've played, though Wraith: The Oblivion comes close second as it did freak the feck out of me when I played it recently on Quest)
Here They Lie (superb game.. just the visuals were muck, but sharpened up it would be fantastic)

If I pre-order on Gamestop today will I get it on release day or am have their been pre-order phases? Thanks

Switchback delayed by a month

mrcheez · 23-01-2023 8:43pm

I've got so much on my backlog I'm thinking of holding out several months for one of those excellent packages that we saw with PSVR 1 where they tossed in several games.

I'll be following this forum with interest though.

Actually I'm going to dust off the PSVR and get cracking on Ace Combat 7 as I picked up a HOTAS recently and haven't had a chance to try it yet!

Same boat as you here. If they announce a new Astro though......

Thumper in 4k 120hz VR. Lord above 😍.

mrcheez · 24-01-2023 4:39pm

I wonder will they let you jump off the ship this time around? I always wondered what it'd be like falling off the platform in Thumper :)

RocketRaccoon · 25-01-2023 12:22pm

Does anyone know, I preordered through Gamestop online and paid the €100 on the day, can I go in between now and launch day and pay it off or does the remainder come off my card when I collect?

jj880 · 25-01-2023 1:15pm

Yeah fall off or when you S rank PLAY + you get to fly away.

Always wanted to get this before selling my PSVR but was a bit steep for a 2 hour experience. Down from 20 euro to 4 euro now though.

Apparently 1 of the best looking on PSVR:

lol I guess I might finally take the plunge and buy it.. never wanted to pay the crazy money they were asking for :)

RocketRaccoon · 28-01-2023 10:16am

I've prebooked the horizon bundle, does anyone know if I need to have completed the other 2 games to understand what's going on?

mrcheez · 28-01-2023 11:48am

Nah apparently not...I don't think the main characters feature prominently

JimBurnley · 29-01-2023 6:25pm

Drums Rock. This looks super cool and apparently is PSVR2 launch title

Should be easier got then?

Orders might pick up at Christmas if they do a megapack.

JimBurnley · 31-01-2023 8:16pm

Sony denying this now

RocketRaccoon · 02-02-2023 12:57am

For anyone, like myself, who hasn't bought it before. Resident Evil Village is on sale on the store until the 15th for €19.99, for that price it's surely worth having for VR2 release day.

I might manage to play it more than I got from Resi 7 on the original VR, it scared the **** out of me and I couldn't play it!

Damn 🤩

In depth preview with a lot of features covered so if you dont want to know until you put on the headset maybe give this video a miss.

The ultimate PSVR2 FAQ

https://blog.playstation.com/2023/02/06/playstation-vr2-the-ultimate-faq/

LeeroyJ. · 07-02-2023 11:55am

I'd love to pre-order a set but with GameStop being the only option, I'd rather wait. They have screwed me over too many times to keep count of. Pre-ordered games arriving late, cancellations and in just in general being happy to take your money but being completely unreliable. I stroll into a GameStop on release day and pick one up if they have it, if not, I'll wait for Smyths or Amazon to stock them.

jj880 · 07-02-2023 12:07pm

It really looks the business. A friend has a sim racing setup with 3 monitors and I reckon PSVR2 would be even better for a similar setup looking at the GT7 footage. I'm well jealous of those getting it at launch. I need a TV soon though so will be a Christmas purchase for me. Hopefully with some kind of bundle.

Ah here! 🤣🤣🤣

I do like the box being re-used for storage.

That external IPD adjuster should be on all VR headsets. Seems such a no brainer.

liaml04 · 11-02-2023 7:31pm

Any word on a cable extender? Reddit has differing opinions but nothing concrete.

Another 1-2 m would be brilliant

JimBurnley · 13-02-2023 4:41pm

Announced that the Thumper PSVR2 upgrade is $5 if you own it on PSVR1. So I'm guessing that's €5 proper money

jj880 · 13-02-2023 5:06pm

Good to see. Unlike Moss 2. I got it at launch for 40 euro on PSVR. Looking at the PSVR2 version they want 27 euro for it. Deary me. Was the best looking game I played on PSVR.

mrcheez · 16-02-2023 1:09am

Walkabout Mini Golf confirmed

RocketRaccoon · 16-02-2023 2:10pm

Review embargo lifted for the headset and horizon, plenty of videos around so choose your poison and give it a watch.

Royale with Cheese · 16-02-2023 5:09pm

General consensus seems to be it's good but expensive, and will depend on what games get released for it long term. Horizon looks great and is a good showcase for the headset but is kind of dull as an actual game, pretty much what I was expecting.

I'm in the minority of people who own a sim racing rig and in the minority of that group in that I only play on console so I'm mainly just getting this for Gran Turismo (and hopefully future support for some non Sony racing games), anything else on top of that is a bonus as far as I'm concerned. I had originally just pre-ordered the standalone headset but changed it a month ago to the Horizon bundle as I may as well check out some other VR games while I'm at it. I doubt I'd have shelled out €550 for a headset if it wasn't for the racing games so I can see why the reviews all mention the steep price.

RocketRaccoon · 16-02-2023 5:43pm

I'm giving serious thoughts to a wheel set up for GT7 later in the year.

The only negative any reviewers seem to be giving is the price but for the hardware involved I don't mind paying it. It's the backlog of games that will get to me, I've a good few bought and ready for launch but with Drums Rock being announced for next week aswell as Switchback in a few weeks it's gonna be the usual story of too many games and not enough time.

brady12 · 20-02-2023 11:19pm

are any of the upgraded psvr 1 titles that are available on psvr2 launch day , essential purchases ?

JimBurnley · 20-02-2023 11:36pm

Essential is subjective but of the upgraded titles I'm looking forward to Pistol Whip, Synth Riders, Thumper and After The Fall

copperspock · 21-02-2023 2:41am

GS emailed me today, it's on its way! Maybe I'll get lucky and get it a day early :)

LeeroyJ. · 21-02-2023 1:19pm

Received mine at 7am this morning. Unfortunately my company mandated a return to 5 days in the office this week so its going to be a long day of waiting to try it.

RocketRaccoon · 21-02-2023 1:25pm

Booked tomorrow off work, straight to Gamestop in the morning to collect it and vegetate for the day. Or as much as my kids will allow.

kerplun k · 21-02-2023 3:29pm

Looking forward to hearing peoples opinions on this.

I don't have a PS5 yet, but I am coming around to the idea of getting one.

JimBurnley · 21-02-2023 3:47pm

Just had a call from GS that my headset is in store and ready for collection tomorrow, no stopping the hype now!

Although he did have a cheek to say that after the €50 deposit paid, I "only" owe €600 !! Good job for trade ins and a gift card from work :-)

RocketRaccoon · 21-02-2023 4:05pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120270473#Comment_120270473

I was hoping they'd call to say come and get it today since lots of people had theirs delivered from Gamestop today.

Some sound boards member will send yous their proof of delivery. Straight to the store to chance yer arm 😂.

JimBurnley · 21-02-2023 4:43pm

10 more games announced... be interested how the Air Guitar game feels with the controllers rather than a guitar, many happy memories of Guitar Hero back in the day

I got a call to say it's ready tomorrow, that will have to do. Hopefully they have the charging stations in stock

coolisin · 21-02-2023 6:44pm

Watching Gran Turismo I'm beyond hyped for it.

Some people got the headsets today.

Very jealous.

It will be a little while before I pick it up

RocketRaccoon · 21-02-2023 6:48pm

New State of Play announced for tomorrow to include 5 new PSVR2 games slated for release later in the year.

LeeroyJ. · 21-02-2023 6:55pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120269570#Comment_120269570

Well, seems like there are no games that support it as of today. Guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow to try it

RocketRaccoon · 21-02-2023 7:13pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120271498#Comment_120271498

GT7 and Village are the only 2 ready right now.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120271546#Comment_120271546

Village shows as VR, but isn't enabled yet, i assume it will get a small update to unlock it tomorrow. GT7 I've heard ad well but i don't own that one as i don't like racing games.

Not to be pedantic, but actually on Thursday. 9pm Irish time

What’s the chances of Argos having this tomorrow folks, or is it exclusive to Gamestop? I know Argos is leaving the country soon so not sure if that’s a factor. The big kid in me wants this at the last minute but its quite a bit of money…. probably better for me if they don’t have it 😁
