The game is fantastic. That overall synesthesia experience only found in Mizuguchi's work is unparalleled. Even though these few modes don't add a lot, I'm deeply excited to play both Tetris effect and Rez Infinite with the new upgrades.
This game is phenomenal. Developers have supported it with free dlc for year and just have started charging for dlc very reasonably (think it's $2.99). Excited it's coming to PSVR finally.
I'm oddly bitter that after amazing games like Velocity, Velocity 2x, and even Tiny Trax, this is the game that becomes the most mainstream of their project. Seems like a great podcast game otherwise.
Oh nice I didn't realize there was an extra challenge. Thought it was just additional decor. I like the couple challenges they've added so far. Adds another dimension to the game.
Did they update cinematic mode on PSVR? I remember being excited for it thinking I would be in a virtual space seeing a big screen in front of me. Unfortunately it was just a black background with the screen in front. If that changed or will change for PSVR2 that's exciting! I would love playing through some 2d games in a theater like setting. Also would keep me more engaged while playing (so I'm not constantly checking my phone during cutscenes).
After reading this it seems like the graphical options are similar to GoW Ragnarok? So if you have a 120hz TV you can turn VRR on and fidelity mode to essentially be fidelity with 40fps? Curious if I'm interpreting that correctly.
Finishing my platinum run in Diablo 2 Resurrected (currently level 98 and 97% of the way to level 99 of my HC character). Not sure what I'll do after. Maybe just mess around in Witcher 3 until Hogwarts comes out on Tuesday.
@BusyOlf drive club and that outer space mech game that was part of PSVR Worlds were two of the worst VR experiences I've had. Glad to hear this is 120hz and essentially as smooth as it can be
Great list. I would have bought OlliOlli World at launch if it didn't come out at such a competitive time. Also mafia and destiny expansion are icing on the cake.
@Snackfood loved that game. Since they are owned by Microsoft now (and Peter Molyneux no longer with the company) that would unfortunately be an unlikely prospect.
I could be wrong since I rarely preorder games, but isn't it common practice to be refunded when release date is pushed? Only time I had that was for South Park fractured but whole. I remember getting that refund right when PSVR dropped and spent that $60 on a few VR games (no email and no notification. Just found money in my wallet. Wasnt until days later that I realized it was a refund for that game.) While the game undoubtedly is in turmoil, it sounds like their deal with the Malaysian govt will force their hand to release it eventually.
This game looks better and better the more I see it. Outside of performance related articles like this I do want to go media blackout on it as I'm already sold for a day one purchase.
I'm all aboard the all digital future. I'd find no need for it, but I know there's still a large amount of gamers who enjoy the extra clutter and additional exercise to change games.
Best game of the month and it ended up not being true. Not a good look that Sony releases this themselves, but then again not surprising. Bluepoint's premature joining of first party comes to mind.
@Gbarsotini No worries. It really is unbelievable how confusing Sony had made things with their subscription services. Push Square literally has made multiple arguments about this (like what constitutes a "retro" game's inclusion in Premium vs Extra).
@Gbarsotini you are confusing PS Plus Extra with the PS Plus Collection I believe. Extra is essentially PS Now rebranded. The PS5 collection is the 20-25 PS4 games that are free to play as long as you own a PS5. That collection hasnt been added to in over 2 years and probably will be quietly discontinued.
Hoping part of this is the official announcement of FFIX remake. I don't mind kick-starting the hype machine. That would be amazing!
I wouldn't even call games listed in the Nvidia leak as rumors anymore. Sure some of them may be cancelled before they ever get officially announced, but enough has been confirmed that everything on that list was actively being worked on.
Great seeing Cyberpunk getting the love it deserves! Both Cyberpunk and currently Witcher are definitely some of the most enjoyable games this year for me.
I was disappointed we didn't learn more at the VGAs but glad we didn't have to wait long. This game looks phenomenal and after finally playing The Messenger a few months ago I know how good this game can be
The rumble is a bit insane and seems easy to break on the dual sense. Pretty sure something broke inside while playing Witcher PS5. There's an unnecessary amount of rumble when you sell stuff in that game.
On a somewhat unrelated note, is there a reason playstation still uses the extremely vague 3 bars to determine battery life? I understand it's difficult to be so precise as an actual percentage at times but it's frustrating not having a general idea. There's times I fall down to 2 bars after like 5 minutes, and sometimes I still have 3 bars after an hour or playing. With cellphones (and even the switch) we are kind of programmed now to see a percentage (whether it's accurate or not).
Don't really care about the platform it's on. Doesn't have an impact on the quality. It's all about the creatives in charge. From reports I've seen wheel of time creator is the show runner and the expanse creators will be writers and producers. Also Cory Barlog will be an Executive producer. These are great people to lead the show to success
Still won't crown the show yet, but comparing it to rings of power because it's also on amazon isn't a solid argument to me
Oooof that's a price tag. At least it comes with the game! Everytime I see something like this I can't help but think of how many people who bought this complains about the price of something like PSVR2.

Re: Yes, You Can Play Non-VR PS5 Games with PSVR2's Cinematic Mode
@get2sammyb gotcha. That's what I was assuming anyway. Maybe without the screen door effect I'll appreciate it a bit more than I did with PSVR1.

Re: Townsmen VR Settles on PSVR2 for Launch Day
@Snackfood I think there's a demo of that game Tethered I mentioned for PSVR 1 if you want to check that out.
Re: Townsmen VR Settles on PSVR2 for Launch Day
@Snackfood loved that game. Since they are owned by Microsoft now (and Peter Molyneux no longer with the company) that would unfortunately be an unlikely prospect.
Re: Townsmen VR Settles on PSVR2 for Launch Day
This launch lineup is proving to be really expensive. This looks like another I want to add. Reminds me of Tethered which was a gorgeous PSVR game.
