The viewing ban has been lifted from PSVR 2 (PS VR2?) with ports attacking Sony's new device, the sequel to the hugely popular original PSVR VR, although at one point it was marketed in a completely different way with a different listing. competitors. : .
Reviews about the technology itself are almost overwhelmingly positive. Testers describe PSVR 2's comfort, level of immersion, and some new features as big pluses.
Axios. “Old VR technology can make the user feel nauseous or uncomfortable, but even my two-hour sessions with PSVR 2 were enjoyable. This is likely due to low latency motion tracking and graphics updates. as well as advances in virtual reality game development.
The Washington Post. “Its technical excellence is remarkable, 2000 x 2040 pixels per eye. It's essentially a 4K display crammed right up to your face. That means it delivers a sharper image than the $1,500 Meta Quest Pro.” OLED technology, which delivers vivid blacks along with wide dynamic range colors, makes it the most visually impressive VR device on the consumer market.
The main problem with the device is that it's still tethered to a PS5, meaning you both have to own a PS5 in the first place, which almost doubles the real cost, and you're still tethered to something. No more helmets for the meta.
There's a mystery here, too, because the $550 price tag is really steep for technology packed into a device that may be more impressive in many ways than the more expensive $1,500 Meta Quest Pro. But that's a separate question as to whether there will be a large market for $550 VR headsets in 2023 to match the $400-$500 PS5. The technology is good, but the VR market is still a sticking point. However, if you're into VR, this looks like a great device to get the most out of the environment.
Software is another matter. Horizon was highly praised. As for PSVR 2's flagship offering, Call of the Mountain, the immersive Horizon Zero Dawn VR game, some are even comparing it to Valve's Half-Life Alyx in terms of gameplay fidelity. is virtual reality. . But a constant complaint and caveat in all these reviews is that PSVR 2 still lacks interesting games, partly because you can't use any of the existing PSVR 1 libraries.
So I keep reading things like, "That's cool, but you probably don't need it" or "The tech is great, but you might have to wait." If I had to guess what PSVR 2 could do... for a VR headset and with Meta struggling lately, it's ready to eat Mark Zuckerberg for lunch. But there are still big questions about the health of the VR industry and the long-term prospects for the devices and their audiences.
