Any word on them making it easier for Devs to upgrade their PSVR1 games to work on PSVR2?

Even better if it requires zero work from the devs

All that sounds very good. They really are putting a lot of effort into it!

Did you read the article at all? Loads of tools to help.

From skimming it, sony claims to be providing devs with a number of tools. How good they are, only actual devs can tell.

Looks similar to Superhot.

That looks like simulated or proof of concept gameplay.

 

[Karamazov]

really liked this game, but the PSVR tracking sucked a bit, so this enhanced version should be a lot better.

damn 4 years already

Very favourable impressions

PlayStation VR2 is about to breathe new life into virtual reality gaming

Ian Higton goes hands-on with the PSVR2 in this detailed look at the unit and four upcoming PSVR2 games.

Looks very impressive. I can definitely see me being tempted by this.

"The resolution in the headset is unbelievable. I've played on a lot of different VR headsets before. This is probaly the sharpest and most detailed I've ever used."

Really excited for this. The OLED screens plus foveated rendering should be akin to two generations enhancement over PSVR once devs get to grips.

Also a hands on from RoadtoVR, who were tentatively impressed. They did call out some persistence issues with the displays and the HDR not being particularly noticeable in the demos.

Sony’s long awaited PSVR 2 isn’t here just yet but after an extensive hands-on with the headset it’s clear it’ll be worth the wait.

From Eurogamer preview:

The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners - Chapter 2: Retribution
Thanks to the many dark areas of the game, this was a perfect title with which to test out the PSVR2's HDR which allowed me to see the detail in low lit situations much more clearly than I could in the first game.

HDR will just be a checklist item at the end of the day. Main concern would be the persistence blur. Rest of the headset seems solid but the motion issue needs to be fixed.

If there’s a workaround to get it functioning on a pc, I’ll get one to try for driving.

It would be nice if HDR was a better defined term for VR. In the PSVR2's case, both Eurogamer and RoadtoVR mention the good contrast. What it doesn't seem to be demonstrating in the demos is realistically bright objects. Maybe one for PSVR3, but brightness becomes even more of a challenge in the move to pancake optics (which that would probably have).

i'm sure they plan to make PSVR2 PC compatible, just like the Quest 1/2/pro


could HDR so close to the eye cause eye damage in the long term if it was too bright ?

It's nice to see, as VR rapidly evolves, more and more people realizing it's more than just a gimmick, like it was repeated a few years ago.
