Shocking: Sony Promotes PSVR2 with New Trailer Showcasing Upcoming Games

I was always a bit skeptical about PS VR2, but I ordered one anyway during the BF sale. I’m just totally blown away. I was playing Horizon yesterday for the first time and I was just looking around in awe all the time. It’s like I’m rediscovering gaming altogether.

I would like to get more invested, but I'm still a physical game buyer, and with the cost of some of these digital PS VR2 games I was hoping they would get a physical release. I doubt it though, so I'll probably pick up the likes of Horizon COTM and Metro when they are in a sale.

"The company's current-gen virtual reality hardware hasn't really been getting the marketing push it deserves" or the (first party) software support that was hoped for.

Aces of Thunder hopefully..
Soon 😜

I loved my PSVR2 but I sold it in the end as just wasn’t using it enough to justify it clogging up dust around the place, it’s a marvellous piece of kit and games like Alien and Behemoth will be stunners.

I will admit though it’s a disgrace how Sony didn’t back it at all after launch in terms of first party support, I can only imagine how many units you’d have sold if you offered a The Last of Us VR title or even beating Meta to the punch with Batman Arkham Shadow.

@Ellie-Moo I get that for physical collectors it is nice to have an option of discs and it certainly is possible to change a disc while in vr - albeit a little tricky, VR really does lend itself to being all digital and not having to worry about coming out of the headset.

I just bought Metro for £8 using PS rewards thingy, which seems a good deal.

I noticed yesterday that there suddenly seems to be a few releases coming now. I really hope it continues!

I'm having the time of my life as far as VR gaming is concerned, too many great titles, i can't even keep up! The combo Quest 3 and PSVR 2 is where it's at, playing Batman Arkham Shadow and Metro Awakening(VR2) right now and then Behemoth releases in a week...😵‍💫

@Darude84 it is that good.

If you don't already have it, might be worth getting a month of premium to try out a few more games. There are 15 on there i think and some of them are absolute bangers!

@Darude84 welcome to VR, happy you took the chance, you got lots to dig into when your done with that one, enjoy!

I bought one recently couldn't resist at that price, I love vr , had the psvr but all those wires did my head in , then i got a quest 2 but couldn't play it for more than 30 min as the blur gave me headache , but this is a completely different level , horizon is superb , such a crisp clear image, now I'm a man in my 50s , my reactions aren't as good as they use to be and I ache more 😂 but i was playing synth riders for 2 hrs....2 whole hours , it was like I was back in the clubs in the 80s, fantastic experience , although I'm suffering this morning , my bloody back 😂 isn't gaming brilliant 😁

@Ellie-Moo
But digital VR games are a fraction of the price of non VR, plus go on sale all the time. I don’t think I’ve spent more than £22 on any VR games digital.

Completed metro awakening...think it's only the second game I've managed to see all the way through ...the tech for vr is decent but i just find it a pain to play...I do plan on getting the alien game though ...unless it gets absolutely abysmal reviews

PSVR2 was the reason I got a PS5 (just in hope, even before it was announced), as VR is just next level gaming. I’m so happy with it. Sure the pancake lenses are a disappointment, but otherwise I couldn’t ask for much more. And the games. I can’t keep up with all the bangers (admittedly I can only play a couple of hours a day max), but this narrative about there being no games is ridiculous. Not many first party sure, but who cares who makes them?

Anyone who is doubtful, just get one while it’s on sale. You will feel like you’ve just discovered gaming all over again.

I will say it is nice seeing some increased positivity towards both PSVR2 and the Portal recently. Feels like Playstation is finally getting their stuff together and software is lining up well.

Wish they would create some first party stuff like Nintendo did with Wii sports. Nice to see them acknowledge the product again though.

@Darude84 It’s something that’s impossible to explain to somebody without trying it, once you do though it’s incredible

I will be picking one uo tomorrow as i believe the sale is on until the 2nd. I sold my last one a month or so after release as it made me feel ill alot and the releases seemed to just halt but i didnt bother to push through the MS boundary. I absolutely loved Pistol whip tho and there appears to be alot more goodness out there now. Metro, GT7, the light sabre rythem game 🤷 the new one that looks a bit like super hot etc. Im sure im missing a boat load of titles. At the offer price its a no brainer for me.

With the latest discounts and a bit of a marketing nudge in the run-up to Christmas, maybe this will help.

There's definitely some interesting software coming out soon to soonish which is tempting me to dust off my unit as well.

Not entirely abandoned as yet.

@Medic_alert I was indeed looking into this yesterday, but didn’t do it because there are only a few PS VR2 games on there, certainly not 15? Which ones do you mean?

At first I thought there were more, but half of them seem to be only demos.

@Darude84 100% spot on! PSVR gets so much flak but you can't appreciate how much of a game changer it is until you play it. Check out RE4 if you can as that is amazing. Walking round the castle and seeing it at full scale is phenomenal

@Ilyn yeah i agree. Its just something you cant explain to someone. When i first got my origional one i was explaining to the guys from work what it was like and ended up bringing who whole rig in just to show them. They were blown away by it.

@Ilyn I own RE 4, Village and GT7, but I don’t dare to play them yet since I’ll probably get sick as a newbee

It's just sad how Playstation refuses to leverage their unique strength compared to Meta and PCVR by not making their big games playable in VR. Games made exclusively for VR will usually have smaller budgets because of the smaller userbase.

Just imagine games like Helldivers or Days Gone in VR. The games are already there, they just need to add the functionality, something that modders manage to do very well on PC.

@Darude84 best to get use to vr before playing them I remember my first time playing until dawn rush of blood on psvr1 it was strange as frist but it takes time and yes I have played re 7 in vr still hoping capcom port to psvr2.

I just got mine in the mail yesterday!!! The wife and I booted up some Beat Saber last night and had a blast. Can't wait for Behemoth and the new Alien game. Definitely gonna check out the free trial for Legendary Tales!! A physics based co-op dungeon crawler sounds so fun and hilarious

@Darude84 Sony make this extremely hard to find online but from the ones I have added to my library -

Pistol whip
Kayak mirage
Job Simulator
Ghostbusters frozen empire
Walkabout mini golf
Humanity (was on essential a while back)
The last clock winder
Vacation Simulator
Walking dead saints and sinners
Walking dead saints and sinners retribution
Before your eyes
Synth Riders

That's 12. Not sure if I have them all though.
