Not 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.
I’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.
See: Zune.

$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.
You can of course use other ones, either plugged to the headset or wireless ones like the Pulse 3D.
I can't believe they are launching a new PS5 peripheral when you can't even get a PS5 without a huge hassle or paying a big premium.

A 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.
That's just absurd. I don't have any PS equipment but I had mulled over the idea of getting a PS5 and PSVR since I enjoy my Quest 2 and would like better graphics/processing power but I don't want to build a gaming PC for PCVR. Not supporting older games feels very gross.

Their claim is complete horseshit. They must have decided that including the previous game library was not worth the development effort of an API translation layer. Hope they're right...
But at least some devs have confirmed their psvr games will be patched to support the new version, like No Man’s Sky.
Do I need a PlayStation 5 to use this?
