PS5 thread 2.0

If I'm gamesharing with my brother, and we purchase Hogwarts Legacy deluxe edition, do both of us get the early access?

Is there any cheap good generic PS5 controllers on the market, something I won't worry about a kid firing across the room?

Hhmm time to bubblewrap the DS5 then...

You could always try those plastic/silicone covers?

I ordered the psvr2 on gamstops website but didn’t get a confirmation email and no money has left the account. I did this stupidly before logging into the account I have with them so am wondering if I have actually ordered anything?

If you click download it will keep downloading in rest mode. But I've found it has a bit of a mind of its own with updates. Games I have installed on the console, but are not on the home screen seem less likely to update automatically. But I've also gone to play a game that is on the home screen and it needs to be updated. 😂

Maybe there is some rules around update size, time since you played etc that are not obvious.

I was in one of their shops on Friday paying a few quid off mine and the girl serving me said they had them in the back already so I'm sure you'll have it for release day.

Any hardware I've ever ordered from GS has always appeared on launch day, so I'd expect the same this time around. Sure with a Weds release, they could start firing them out tomorrow and be delivered Tues.

Reviews seem along the lines of what's expected. Fine hardware, but software is king, and it's where it'll live or die. Even the demo material like Horizon sounds lacking, but will at least be a feature for the device. Handful of other games could be worth a look, but I've been through the 'get every demo material' phase since the early days of PC VR, so I'm at the point of wanting some meat on the bone.

Bit concerned hearing the reports of it being somewhat uncomfortable for prolonged period, as I was no fan of the PSVR1 (had to wear specs underneath), so a similar experience would not be desired. The very nature of a wired VR headset necessitates an extended playtime, otherwise its hard to be arsed nowadays - albeit far removed from the Vive days, whereas the Quests excel themselves with quick 20min sessions (helps having the clip on lenses for myself, something I'll have to sort for this). Guess will find out next week.

No man's sky is compatible too.

I've seen Minecraft, among us, and Sniper elite listed on one article as being psvr2 games, but not elsewhere. Is there a definitive list available showing both the new games and the upgradable games?

I can see why some people say there's not enough games, a lot of the launch games just don't interest people or they've played a lot of them before.

I've already played GT7 and Village so VR is just another way to see games I've already completed. Likewise with Rez, Thumper and Tetris which are already compatible with PSVR1.

In terms of new games, Horizon and Walking Dead are the only proper games I'm interested in, Kayak VR looks ok. Switchback when it comes out. Nothing that screams people should spend €700 for a headset and a few games right this minute.

Nothing officially announced YET, COTM seems to be what they're using to push the technology.

A lot of places are saying there will be surprises on launch day but I'm not hopeful. I would love a vr2 upgrade of Astro and that's what I'm pinning my hopes on.

Astrobot still my best VR experience. They have to make another!

Absolutely love Astro Bot RM.

Best platformer since Mario Galaxy and one of my favourite games ever. Will buy PSVR2 if it gets remastered or if theres a sequel.

Still on the fence about VR.

Already beat GT7 and RE8.

Maybe when Beat Saber releases and a few more big games get announced.

Looks like Atomic Heart is a mess.

Was impressed and looking forward to it after the few trailers/boss fight I've seen.

Would be a system seller. Well it would be if it were possible for people to experience it beforehand. Very hard to get across how immersive it feels with just reviews. Proper AAA game, not just VR.

It's been long rumoured given some Valve comments regarding its "initial availability" on Steam VR and while conventional thinking suggests a desire to keep exclusive to PCVR, VR growth all round is desirable for every stakeholder.
