@@lonesoljazangetsu1157 Yes, it must be plugged in to the console. Thankfully, it is only one USB-C cord that's about 12' or so in length (no entirely sure, haven't measured it). Besides VR games, there is a Cinematic Mode where it displays a flat screen that is adjustable in size. Non-VR games can be played this way and displayed in 4k at 120hz, as well as DVD's and videos from a flash drive. KZread can also be used, but unfortunately, it does not access the VR version of the app the way that VR1 did. There is also a web browser, but it is very limited in what it can do.

I love the Psvr2. At the beginning I was slightly disappointed that the picture isn’t as sharp as a 4k screen but it’s still miles better than in the first headset. But the immersion is another level I’m playing RE Village right now and this game feels so much better in vr than the flat version.

@EM Archer PSVR2 does not have a cellphone CPU/GPU in it like Quest 2, PS5 has to render graphics to the headset, and that is what gives the better graphics and smoother frame rate. Just like the high-end PCVR headsets. But PSVR2 has OLED displays and head haptics, which add to better visuals and immersion.

Everything about it was just over hyped to me. It wasn't up to par with what was advertised and what I've read online and for example KZread comments prior to me buying it. I returned it and decided to keep using my quest with my PC. I did like the comfort level tho.

I cant see if anyone has mentioned this, but with regards to letting go of the controllers and grabbing them again, I let them slide down my arms almost like a bracelet. You can use your hands (for adjusting headset, using phone etc) easily and then you can let them slide back down to your hands. I hope that make sense, but it's pretty useful I feel.

​@peter mulder I will tell you what I like and what I don't Pros - Decent resolution (would have liked a bit more but it's decent) - Feedback and haptics, specially the trigger in guns - Stunning colour, brightness and incredible contrast (Oled) - Incredible exclusive games - Lightweight and very adjustable Cons - Mura - Wired - Can't play my 3D movies (huge for me specially with an amazing oled screen and the PS5 having a disc tray) - Needs more apps - The sweet spot is needs carefull adjustment otherwise it's a blury mess but it's not as bad as the vive focus 3 - Controllers needed to have more battery - The wire should have been replaceable so that you can use usb c cable of any length I think the best combo would be pancake lenses like the quest pro with oled tech and 2500x2500 resolution. Overall though I really do like PSVR2 but it does have few issues.

I already posted but this deserves another post and not an edit. Absolutely the BEST PSVR2 breakdown I’ve seen! Subscribed! Great video!

I noticed that I had few phases with ps vr2. At first I was excited and went too hard on my day 1 and I felt quite bad actually, also did not know exactly how to set it up on my face to get to that sweet spot, it was quite weird but still loved it. Then I had that moment when I felt quite bad but still played because daaamn I paid lots of money and I used to love my ps vr1 in the past. The problem was that I was forcing myself to play horizon and star wars and not other games and those actually I would say although good are not too good to play after long time without vr experience. Then I left vr for few days and came back to Hogwarts. And then few days ago I got SynthRiders… spent 4 hours with it in a row, stopped feeling my arms, but was soo happy that got pistolwhip the same day and played more and lost feeling in my arms again :D then it repeated the next day and then I got Demeo…. Daaaaamn what an amazing multiplayer experience… and also I noticed that I am not feeling dizzy anymore playing any other games… And the joy it started giving me… oh booooi !! Me just want more.

The Quest2 I'll keep using for fitness and exclusives. For the rest I'll use the PSVR2. Great headset with a few weakpoints. I hope they can patch some in the future.

Great review! Going to subscribe. Unfortunately I had three beers last night, I now have a PSVR2 headed my way. 😂 Life is short, f’it.

Once again, the most detailed and honest hardware review on KZread. I always look for a JayBratt review before I buy anything for VR.

I was pretty let down with first impressions just because of the reprojected frames in REV and Horizon, but as I’ve played and experienced the whole package, I’ve completely forgotten about them. The mura is also pretty noticeable, but I’ve started to look past it once I’m in game. Yeah the haptics and visuals in REV, next level stuff, great review dude.

Loved our review and comments, and I agree with you entirely. I have a Quest 2 but the headset is too heavy and always gives me a headache to use. I just bought the PSVR2 and love the headset. I don't care much for shooting games so am hoping that more non shooting content comes to this unit plus Google Earth VR which I loved on my original Oculus. Oh, I did note that after playing some of the games, I get a queasy stomach for some reason.

I think that’s the most I’ve learned from one video about PSVR2. Great job👍

I have used the first psvr, oculus quest 2 standalone & with pcvr. I am going to make sure I try this at least once, I am going to wait for more games to be added to the library and for more software updates. nice review!

As someone who just bought one and has been playing this, this was GREAT information man. And you're right about the current Library being enough for someone new to VR.

Answer: YES! Absolutely loving the PSVR2.

Hey Jay, have you had any experience with magnetic USB C adapters on any VR headset? What are your thoughts on them if so, and would you have any recommended brands or is it best to stay away?

Just remember, the brightness dial also controls motion persistence. You want blur free VR motion? Than set the dial to 0 for a PSVR1-like experience. Max brightness is never a good idea with this headset. to much motion blur, and the HDR brightness can actually go against the PQ. 50% seems like a happy medium, but it really all depends on the game. Moss Book 2 for example, performs and looks it's best at 0, where as RE8: Village, needs higher brightness to prevent black crushing. The golden ticket is to play PSVR2 games running at 90fps with Brightness slider set to 0, imo. Moss Book 2 being one of the greatest examples.

Sure the brightness and colours are great with max brightness(which is the out of box default) but then motion suffers severely.

Jay, great review. I think you’re the best overall VR creator out there. That said, I’m surprised you said this is the go-to headset to introduce VR to people. The most annoying thing about the VR2 is the fact that the sweet spot is so tiny, SO finicky, that every new user has to calibrate the IPD and eye position in Settings, AND calibrate eye tracking to get the best visuals. Quest is one click and you’re in VR, sub-10 seconds. Also surprised you’re so impressed with the visuals. I’ve found them to have horrendous mura and very grainy comparing PCVR powered Quest 2/Pro vs VR2. I have all three headsets and a gaming PC.

Regarding pointing with controller to choose games and stuff in the menu...isn't that outdated compared to choosing in menu with your PSVR2 eyetracked eyes? Or is that not possible in all menus? I have seen others just looking at stuff in menu and then clicking a button to choose.

The tracking issue was solved when I have a well lit room with every corner have lights turned on. I only realised that when I played RE8 and the aim doesn’t seem to track on the left side. There was no lamp on the left side of my room. When I changed that, the issue was resolved.

@The GameCat's out of the Gluebag-ger no impact at all for the player. Only downside is that there is a boundary that occupies the tv screen image so other people watching your gameplay will see a smaller picture on screen

It's funny how headset haptics was almost universally considered to be a useless gimmick pre-release. Oh, and top tip about passthrough - don't use it when drinking tea/coffee! That mug looks to be in exactly the right place for tipping and drinking but it's NOWHERE NEAR. Believe me on this one.

And is it then more worth it than going for the quest 2 as my first vr headset? I do have a ps5 but for your comments it seems like the quest has had more time to be refined and expand its game library

I noticed during my GT7 cinematic replay, my headset haptics shook as my car flew by. Amazing.

12:15 on the TV you can see the flat games being played. It is a setting to allow higher frame rates per seconds on the game in the headset. You can turn it off and have lower frame rates to play and have people watch flat games.

Good review Jaybratt. It is all about games as you say. Hopefully more come down the line…very soon! Shafestradamus stands firm on there not being a PS5 Pro though😂

Awesome review, love the TV/Home Theatre enthusiast POV regarding the screens (also, I have not seen any info about the subpixel arrangement, huge plus). One thing I might explain to anyone disappointed with the "2d menu": let's say you get your VR headset, and start the setup. Years back you had to install base stations, or had some tedious setup interaction that dominated the first hour of your ownership. The PSVR2 was developed with ease of use and a quick setup in mind. So when you first put this headset on, you are taken through a rough 8-10 minutes of very intuitive setup, then you drop into the standard PS5 home screen which you intuitively know at this point. While making a "VR home" would have been a very nice addition to this headset, the base menu does not take away anything from the experience. Learning how to use a brand new navigation/home screen does, and if I know Sony, they would have PUSHED that menu style on you and would not have given you an option to use the standard one. :D Also, we have some neat 3D logos for games where the developers spent like 10 minutes to make it, like Switchback or Beat Saber and many more.

Very thorough and informative review, thank you! I have my PSVR2 now for close to two weeks and I like it more and more. Contrary to you I don't mind the cable at all. Of course, long-time appeal depends solely on the games Sony will put out for it. But I believe that we will see a solid commitment to this hardware on the part of Sony for years to come.

I absolutely loved my PSVR 1 (all problems aside and there were a lot) and PSVR 2 feels like a taste of that again! I've just gotten spoiled with Quest 2 and Pro being wireless for fast moving games like pistol whip. I'll probably continue to use them for really active games but I'll play a lot of PSVR 2 games for the better graphics or the no hassle of batteries and such. Games like Demeo, GT7 and soon Switchback you don't even notice the wire.

Pancake lenses also have their drawbacks. OLED HDR with pancake lenses would not be easy. I'll take fresnel with that sweet brightness and vibrant colours over pancake (at least current pancake lenses).

it just sucks that you play Resident Evil 7 vr on the PSVR 2, that was my favorite vr game on the PSVR 1, I'm hoping that game becomes compatible with the PSVR 2 eventually, I like Resident Evil 8 vr, but I would like to play Resident Evil 7 vr again also, Resident Evil 7 vr would be great on the PSVR 2 with the new controllers, also would like to play Skyrim vr and the Inpatient vr game on the PSVR 2, Half Life Alyx would be great on the PSVR 2 as well

I pretty much bought the VR2 on release date because I recently got a PS5 and it seemed like a good idea. I only have a couple of games but am very impressed with the capabilities. As a first time VR owner I have no regrets. Do have to say it is a bit of getting used to and I am getting a bit queasy at times. Not sure whether there are good tips to prevent that from happening.

I have to say, for a person that has only used the quest 2 for 3 months as I feel as my entry point and using the original Vive almost 10 years ago. I had very few issues and basically you have been spot on coming from a person that has only really been in the Metaverse for 3 months. 1. I found, as cool as the new controllers are I do prefer the way the quest controllers feel in my hands personally. 2. Hopefully a software update with a new customized home screen and proper controller navigation. 3. Found I was personally hitting the controllers together when reloading or holding guns with 2 hands which is slightly annoying and also I was hitting the headset when using a bow or when trying to ADS. It was way better on the quest 4. And probably my biggest issue as you mentioned already. I kept on unintentionally pressing the PS button in game.. Made me so frustrated. I hope they have an option at least in the future to maybe double press the button while in game to prevent you opening the menu. I have had moments of buyers remorse but GT7 is what makes me feel better about the hefty price. and personally not much of a big fan of Horizon.

I feel like for tracking reasons like you said with bow and arrow motion and just like room tracking they should have placed cameras on sides and back of headset. Nothing too drastic cuz not gonna be used a ton but just enough to not lose sight

Subbed, best review yet on youtube.

Wow Marcelo, thank you!!! Also welcome 😊

I had tracking issues and I turned on that option and it's been working fine ever since so maybe you should try it

Where did you get that cool zipper case at 0:18?

Hey Jay, what IR light were you using to show the lights on the controller?

The only IR light in the room was the one on the actual IR camera. It's some amazon piece of crap I only kept for that IR function lol

I bought that same docking station that’s in your video… I found that it only charges one controller when both were docked - and it would continuously show a blue (fully charged) light for one of the controllers even though it was just placed in the dock. Someone mentioned this issue and recommended using a 5V 2A power adapter. Hopefully that works… otherwise, I’m gonna send it back.

Psvr2 was my first experience to vr. I couldn't have been happier nad continue to introduce new people to it. Next is a real racing sim setup.

That's an AWESOME first time! I've been in it since the phone gear VR days 😂 we've come a long ways

My friend jay if someone accidentally scratched their vr lenses is there a way to fix it or at least a tool to remove the scratched spot ?

Haptics. The haptics totally set the PSVR2 experience above others. I have an HP Reverb G2 and while it has an amazingly crisp view, in most cases the PSVR2 is not far behind if at all. However, replacing the toy like buzz of G2 controllers with the rumble and triggers of PSVR2 and gaining head feedback is a serious thrill. Pistol Whip, Pavlov, and After the Fall are not the same without those haptics. I can't go back.

I hear you there. The Reverb G2 was the BEST of the WMR headsets but from the several early WMR headsets I owned those were ROUGH!! I barely had haptics because there was an issue where if you used rechargeable batteries it would turn off the haptics because it always thought the batteries were low. Hopefully they fixed that! The Quest Pro haptics are probably the closest as they have dual motors in them but the PSVR2 haptics feel so good! They're actually weaker than the PSVR 1 haptics were but those were just crazy vibration motors, not proper haptics like we're getting now!

Same experience here ..... I've been into VR for a long time (GearVR, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift 1, Reverb G2),... But since I've got my PSVR2 two weeks ago, I know I'm never gonna go back to PC VR unless they got some real game changer. The total experience of PSVR2 (plug & play , installation, image quality, superb controllers and just total immersion) is beyond what I've imagined. I've just put my G2 up for sale, now it's still worth something 🙂

About the glasses with the headset, I know there's some that offer prescription lenses that sït over the PSVR 2 lenses. HonsVR is one I know that offer a wide range of headset support.

so no onboard volume control, but does that also mean no button to mute your mic quickly? As for banging the rings together, I wonder how it will be in Synth Riders when you combine to make the yellow ball (one of the reasons I liked the moves instead of Quest controllers for that game - move balls be soft). For psvr1, I used nerf dart bumpers on the outside of the lenses, might that work for psvr2, or is there enough space/will it block the eye tracking. If the eye tracking is in the rings around the lenses, I'm curious as to what companies like VR Wave and Reloptix will be doing

So you can sacrifice your pass through for mic mute (it uses the function button)

the Function Button can be set to either Pass-Through or Muting the Mic

The thing about walkabout mini golf on meta quest 2 is that you would need to look down and your quest 2 plus bobovr weigh like a ton. A real exercise for the neck.

Top notch, great content.

Great review. I’ve never owned a VR but have been really thinking about the PSVR2

If you've never owned one it'll be pretty mind blowing!! It can just be hard to go back to being wired for those of us who have become used to wireless ☹️

I just bought it but idk how imma feel I see black floaters so I’m hoping that doesn’t show to much in the lens on top of the motion sickness

It's like you said..if you have a PS5, than this headset is a must (if you love VR), but otherwise.... I'm happy with my Pico4 and Quest2 and can't wait for the Quest3 to come out!

Thanks for the review - was going to buy but have now decided to hold off or get the Quest 3. Either way waiting for Quest 3 to come out for comparison. Since I have a ps5 I may buy if the price drops considerably since I currently use psvr1 with my ps4 pro.

Pavlov (as of yesterday when I first played it) has an option to switch from toggle grip.

For audio, use the Pulse 3D headphones, which have a pretty good sound and you can control the audio and chat volume directly on them! They come perfectly together with PSVR2!

They are way to tight on my big had though. Give me painful ears in minutes.

Vaguely related: any idea what Valve is doing? The Index controller have been out of stock for more than a year now. What's going on??
