Rift, Vive, and Virtual Reality

I assume they were not the Quest 3 versions graphics!

At last PSVR2 will get more good games, though not on PS5

Won't they get ported? I can't imagine any VR dev not wanting to port as far and wide as possible to maximise returns as the market's too small to be content with just some of it.

 

[Karamazov]

i don't think we'll ever get a PS5 VR version of HL Alyx !

i think it's Quest 3 footage (with maybe less aliasing than in the actual headset), closeup shots of aliens models and overall environment details look on par with what we've already seen on standalone, and quite below what we can see on PC VR.

Doesn't Alien Isolation have a VR mod?

 

[Karamazov]

Yes there is an unofficial VR mode for isolation.

Just wondered the comparison shots by Karamazov what does everyone prefer ? I vote for the quest 3

 

[Karamazov]

PSVR2 has the "true" blacks and colors pop more, but it's ruined by the poor lenses which blur things a lot + the chromatic aberration.

 

[Davros]

Does that mean you vote psvr2?
Would replacement lenses fix the problems? if yes is anyone doing them?

I'd have thought everyone would say Q3, although PSVR2 is clearly more cinematic...

 

[Davros]

your a very bad man shifty

 

[Karamazov]

I vote quest 3, clarity is more important to me for immersion.
You can't change lenses, it's part of a whole design, you can't use pancake lenses with oled screens (for now).

 

[Davros]

I take it that's because no one makes a oled headset with pancake lenses and not a technical limitation

 

[MfA]

Pancake lenses just need polarization, it comes for free with LCD but is easy enough to add to OLED.

"Holocake" might require very narrow band light sources depending on the holographic optical elements used. Volume/thick-phase holograms can work with white light, but only because most of the light is rejected.

 

[Karamazov]

pancake lenses absorb much more light than fresnel and oled screens in PSVR2 are not bright enough.

 

[Davros]

"Holocake" ?
