I don’t know anything about VR, can someone tell me how this compares to the Meta Advertisement Torture Device (MATD) that costs $1500?
Meta Quest 2 which is what this competes with is $400 USD.
Pro version is for businesses.

#12What games are worth playing in VR on the ps5?
Re: Playstation VR2
#13I’m hoping with the PSVR2 launch that people will finally realize that the metaverse consists of way more than just meta and Horizon. The current complaints on how the metaverse sucks are like if people only visited Yahoo’s homepage and decided that it was the entire internet and that the entire internet was terrible. It’s a ridiculous way to evaluate an entire ecosystem, but in their defense at least they took 5 min…
I think you forgot Valve although they don’t seem to follow through with their hardware.

#14Do I need a PlayStation 5 to use this?
Re: Playstation VR2
#15That is a surprisingly affordable price point for the technology on offer. Sony must have really efficient manufacturing, assuming they're not selling at a loss. A quality 120Hz 4000 x 2040 HDR OLED display alone would likely cost at least half the MSRP.
Sony has a history of selling hardware at a loss at launch and then recouping via subs/software/late-cycle sales.

#16$550, no wireless, no backwards compatibility, and no integrated audio forcing you to use your own earbuds linked to the PS5. The displays look great, sure, but the total package is a disappointment. I'm basically wrong at every prediction I make, but this looks like just another novelty toy with little chance of broad adoption.

#18A friend of mine gave me a PSVR1 for my birthday (which I use on my PS5). I'm playing Resident Evil 7 in VR mode and it's the most immersive experience in any horror (or possibly any other genre, really) game I've ever played. I was legitimately terrified and didn't want to sleep the night I played it for the first time. I am not a person that gets easily scared in horror films or games and usually get a laugh out of…
Great news - Resident Evil 8 will be released have an official PSVR2 version. Full remake and PSVR2 integration.
There are trailers/previews available and it looks pretty darn impressive.

#19Not backwards compatible with PSVR version 1 games? I’m having a hard time imagining a good reason for this. They claim it’s because it’s a totally new VR experience… whatever that means.
Yeah, I'm a little bummed about this. Maybe it's a combination of the controllers and the increase in resolution/etc. With the gen 1, you had the move controllers and a remote camera. Games were probably developed with that in mind - even if they knew some changes were coming down the pipe, it would be difficult to write the games with the VR2 system in mind.
Whether or not this is all abstracted away, I have no idea... but there really is a pretty huge difference between 1 and 2 if you think about the camera set up and the controller situation. The move controllers were optional - they didn't even come with the system. I think there were bundles that had them. They came out BEFORE the VR system did, and were kind of a gimmick until the PSVR landed.
Now that you have a real high quality headset, that ships with standard, hopefully high quality controllers, the target application should take advantage of those things.

I don't care about the metaverse. Just let me have fun playing some video games in VR.
