Here’s the kicker which I think unfortunately makes this announcement a lot less exciting:
“PS VR2 was designed from the ground up specifically for PS5 – so you’ll notice that some key features, like HDR, headset feedback, eye tracking, adaptive triggers, and haptic feedback (other than rumble), are not available when playing on PC. However, other high-fidelity and sensory immersion features of PS VR2 are supported, including 4K visuals (2000 x 2040 per eye), 110-degree field of view, finger touch detection, and see-through view, as well as foveated rendering (without eye tracking) and 3D Audio in supported games.”
While I understand the technical limitations behind this, that unfortunately makes getting this headset specifically a lot less appealing, as it brings it closer to other choices on the market. I wonder if people would choose to use this over the Meta Quest 3 which is at a similar price point.
Still, this is undoubtedly a win for PSVR2 users, as the number of VR games this could give them access to is easily leagues beyond what the Playstation Store is currently offering.
PsVR comeback?
Hmmm, do folks want games to play on VR or VR features but no games?
Interesting value proposition. Should fly off the shelves.
Good news, the features missing from the PS5 aren’t the relevant ones, very nice!
