    Psvr2 is my first headset and ive had it for 3 months. I cant go back to flatscreen gaming, I absolutely love my psvr2. I have 42 games already and plan on picking up 2 games this friday as well as like 6 more the week after. The haptics and headset rumble is next level

We dont know if VR will drop with it or come later like resident evil games but twisted metal is AAA. Now, you can say its just rumors or leaks so it doesn’t mean nothing but i can also just say just cause you havent heard about any AAA confirmations for psvr2 doesnt mean it’s definitely not happening.

    Absolutely love PSVR2. Got a huge backlog and not enough time to get to them all lol. Love the headset haptics and eye tracking and the OLED screen. It is easily my favourite gaming device ever. Just amazing. How long u gettin out of the controller batteries? I'm averaging 4 hours I think. They charge real fast but yea Sony need to start selling replacement controllers.

    Is quite crazy that they don't sell controllers. What are they thinking? Most PSVR2 owners will probably have bought a spare pair. That is money on the table right there. No one is gonna buy a second VR headset just to get the controllers.

I feel like the whole public discussion of PSVR2 is so stupid and messy- its refereshing to hear someone with a level head cover the subject. Both you and PSVR without Parole are my favorite creators on the subject- not just because you celebrate good games but also you hold Sony to task for the terrible job that they are doing.

    I really can't get Sony's thinking. Did they decide they don't want to bother just when it was about to release? They are pulling a Vita on PSVR2 but yhis time on release. Now they stop production because it isn't selling. Well yeah, you aren't promoting it or trying to make it successful. They haven't even bothered transferring the Astro Bot game to PSVR2.

There are far to many cons for the PSVR 2 for me, so going with the Quest and use the money that i would have spent on the PSVR 2 getting a better GPU. Just the video i was after, thank you.

    Still enjoying my PSVR2 but I get why a lot of people are upset with Sony. I have 4 VR headsets right now(PSVR, PSVR2, Reverb G2 and Quest2) I use all of them but the PSVR2 is my main headset. I love how easy it is to use and I love that the visuals/graphics are really good for the price compared to PCVR. And I love the exclusives (GT7, RE8, RE4, Horizon, Synapse...) I hope there will be more good games in the future but for now I'm happy with the games we got. The only thing I miss are some of the PSVR1 games like Wipeout, Astrobot and several more.

    This is the Best PSVR2 Review I'v watched so far. I'v been thinking of buying one for some time now but I am really concerned about the Mura and in-game Eye Lag noticeable in certain games, Some people describing it at times like looking through a frosty window, And after watching this Excellent review from MartyDude I think I will wait until the PS5 PRO comes out later this year and see if it fixes all of the graphical and in-game lag issues that are really putting people like me off from parting with our hard earned cash and finally take the plunge into the VR world. I really do hope the PS5 Pro is worth the upgrade and then hopefully make the PSVR2 headset a more enticing purchase.... Great Review Martydude... Honest from the heart and No Bullshit.. Take care Pal.

    I still have a PSVR1 but was never convinced to buy a PSVR2. It only takes 1 reason to stop people buying but I have several. Lack of backwards compatibility with PSVR1, Almost no AAA developers making games for PSVR2, The headset is wired with no wireless option, Hardware issues like moiré effect and very small lens sweet spot. Price is at least $200 too much, Lack of physical game releases for it, 95% of the games are Indie Quest ports; you can't support or sell a premium product when most of your library is indie games. For new people entry cost is essentially $1000 for mostly indie games? I think in hindsight Sony should have made a Quest competitor that could have plugged into PS5 for those few high end experiences but overall most of VR is low end experiences so their bet on high end VR didn't pay off. I won't be buying a Quest as I don't trust Meta so I'm kind of in VR no mans land right now.

    For some odd reason, I feel like you’re just repeating popular talking points you see on the internet. Mura isn’t even spelled properly in this comment and I’m unsure of the sweet spot you’re even mentioning, as an owner of the headset. If you mean to where the picture is clear, isn’t that anything that requires your unique eyeballs placement, person to person? I wouldn’t take goggles from a person with a smaller head and then say there’s a small sweet spot to where I can see; that’s what adjusting is for 😭😭 like wdym lmao I use my Ps5 way more than my psvr2 and agree that there’s several franchises I would like to see come over to it, but some of this other stuff is just people talking fr….

    I am the one who for you is not PSVR 2 - I'm loving Quest headset. And still I bought PSVR 2. Even before I tried it, I knew that I'll be keeping both headsets. For me it is two headset for different use cases. And after 10 months of using both, I'm still stand by it. However I love VR and I love gaming, have money to buy both. Also I want to add - I think people are have too high bar for PSVR 2 support, they wait for too much exclusives. We are in nieche platform\genre. We need to accept it. I'm glad with every big PSVR 2 release. But I don't think that we must been having a lot more.

    ​​@@MartydudeVR The problem is that Sony needs sales on it to have developers make games for it. No developer will make a game or even port for a device that has too little sales and won't bring much game sales. When you want to sell devices you need to make people feel there is a good reason to invest in one. What Sony is currently doing is creating exactly the opposite feelings. People are worried Sony doesn't care about it and that is no future investment. Sony needs to restore confidence and make people feel they won't waste their money buying one. First they need one or two great first party titles that will become the showcase for their VR and everyone will want to play and thinking getting one just to play them. If they have those titles in development then they need to show something and start creating hype about them so people can feel optimistic a about what is coming and start buying headsets.

    They don't need a revision just because Facebook throws one Quest after the other. Is a decent VR headset that can be used for many years. Sony only makes one VR headset for every generation of Playstation. At best they will make miniscule improvements like better controller battery and slightly clearer lences etc. With PS5 pro coming and PC compatibility then that will also improve it. What they need is more great games and hype and advertising around it.

And then, it'll just be another option for pc vr gamers who will only choose a superior headset cuz it'll be old by then. It sux but vr needs another 10/15 years yet before it goes mainstream. Its just a shame that a non gaming company like Meta has to bankroll it all until then. I'm tired of paying for a mediocre and sparse vr gaming landscape tbh

PSVR2 for what i was told, honestly, doesn't look great. doesn't come anywhere close to clarity of quest 3 and isnt much better than psvr1 quite honestly. The res evil, gt7 games are excellent, and sort of worth price of admission. However, sony needs to step it up w/ the software, otherwise, huge let down. I do not expect them too however at this point, i think lost cause most likely.

    It's a failure. They arent even making anymore for the time being. It's not killed but they cant sell enough to keep a huge backstock. Where are the system selling games. That's over $1000 to play 1 game so where's the games tgat are more than tech demos? More RE8, Horizon was a gimmicky tech demo. Pavlov is the closest they've come to doing a reall call of duty style vr2 game. I guarantee they get battlefield or cod on VR2 with the same graphical quality as ps5 or series X regular version games, then i think it'd do better but not until they lower the cost.
