From aj/parole podcast there won't be backward compatibility support tough few psvr games will get psvr2 support (like no man's sky)

That sucks. So we’ll need a separate PSVR1 setup to play most PSVR1 games. Hopefully PSVR2 does well enough and the process of converting a PSVR1 game to PSVR2 is easy enough that devs will find it worthwhile.

If it was easy enough then Sony would have a BC layer for it without developers actions required.

The controllers are big. The rings need to allow even large hands to enter them (ooo er missus!)

The headset uses fresnel lenses, which means the facebox is not that compact.

Maybe some of the PC VR media player developers will port their players to PS5 to allow for more robust stereoscopic media playback, including 3D non-VR media.

That’s weird. Is this a data limitation of the cable? Like, why wouldn’t you want the option of seeing a 4k BD in 4k?

Not much point with the PSVR2's resolution is there? A virtual screen is going to be about 1080p at a comfortable virtual distance.

btw i wonder, with how relatively limited VR market is, and with how eager Sony is going multiplatform (PS x PC)... whether PSVR2 will have PC compatibility and they start selling PSVR2 games on PCVR day-1?

that would allow them to grab more marketshare. and also can be for a trial to see how it affect their business for releasing PS games day-1 on PC too.

I can imagine them having PSVR2 ready for PC (drivers and all) but holding off on releasing it on PC until they see what demand for it is like on PS5. So, if demand is higher than supply on PS5 we won't see PSVR2 on PC until supply is greater than demand on PS5, IMO.

I'm surprised actually , I figured it be holdiay 2023.

 

[PSman1700]

Almost half a generation in, it should come. Price is what matters most, guess around 299usd.
