@Bamila Sony is really in a very bad position with PSSR... Implementations are really mixed in results/quality. I don't understand what level of QA is undergoing from both the devs and Sony itself, I would have imagined that for the firsts titles Sony would be more involved in helping to achieve good results... So it's either "devs are left alone to their luck" or PSSR at it's current state is not good. And I do have a Pro, it's not that I'm talking just because. The thing is you now read "... using PSSR to improve the quality..." and there are more chances that quality will suffer other than improve. A shame.
It's really bad how PSVR2 ownwers are being left in the dark regarding announcements about Pro support... I was hoping Polyphony to be one of the first to knockit out of the park with Pro+VR but hasn't happended...
@Yozora146_ Same here! I'm going to get a Pro anyway, but I NEED a patch for GT7 PSVR2... as it is it's not bad by any means, but as you know there many things that can be improved: resolution, LOD, native framerate...
I loved DriveClub. One of my most played ps4 games. Was arcade but fun. An amazing graphics. Also I had only the Dualshock at that time. Now I play GT7 VR with a Fanatec setup.
My first Civ was Civ2, then 3, 4 and 5... I think I've permanent brain damage from all the days I've skipped sleeping because of "just one more turn". Lesson learned, no more civs for me. Dangerous stuff.
I loved the original Test Drive & Test Drive II on PC and C64 some 35+ years ago... Then the original Need for Speed was like a dream remake of Test Drive. Still waiting for a game like that.
I booted up my PS4 saved games, from almost EIGHT years ago... "story" is completed but I think I've 70% of the map to explore yet. 60fps is amazing, and load times are quite fast, around 5 seconds, I remember those being quite slow back then.
Graphics are showing their age mainly talking about lighting... this game would be awesome with real time global illumination, everything is so flat that it hurts.
Amazing show. Better (by large, I would say) than HBO's The Last of Us for me. But then it's also different because TLOU was the same story from the game (more or less)...
I was really tempted to go back to Fallout, maybe try Fallout 76 offline, or online, whatever. I loved FO3, F3 NV and Fallout 4. The Amazon series was a blast, enjoyed every minute of it, I think they nailed it.
Back on the day (late 80s, early /mid 90s) adventure games was all I played. I miss that kind of titles. Luckily there are some retro-like releases nowadays, like the ones from Wadgeteye.
Hyped. Please don't screw up the gameplay... at least give us the exact same gameplay engine and upgrade the presentation, plus online gaming and decent carrer mode.
@trev666 I've played FO3, New Vegas and FO4... Never interested in online games, I've read there's kind of a single player campaign in 76? How the whole experience compares to the previous entries?
@Ichiban right. The design of the game doesn't have anything that would be impossible to do on PS4. Just scale everything to min, cap at 30fps and that's it. Oh, add a couple mins of level loading into the mix.
@thefourfoldroot1 that's right. Also it happens to me that I don't have the patience to learn a complex game. I've started demon's souls because it was a time sink π€£
@thefourfoldroot1 yes, thanks for the recommendation. Thing is I've nearly no time to play... So I'm waiting for a sale π ... I got RE village for $20. I've so many games on the backlog π...
Where did this came from!! whislist right now! My kind of game... It seems PSVR2 is getting some love after all... I'm only using it for GT7 really, I've to yet play RE Village, only went through the tutorial.
@get2sammyb I guess PSVR2 is not so dead after all... I remember when CD games started to pop up, this was one of the first... Never played it but now I will, I love adventure/puzzle games... I don't know why we don't have more adventure games in VR, for me a classic point & click adventure is a nice fit for VR, say a Sherlock Holmes game.
@gollumb82 You will enjoy Alyx with the 3070. Just be sure to play it wirelessly in some big space (which I don't have) π . And PCVR as platform is amazing with the variety of content, the downside is having to tweak all the settings more so with a GPU that cannot run everything maxed out.
@gollumb82 π well... That's it. I've Alyx and while I've enjoyed it I stopped playing it after a couple of chapters because I said "I will play it only when I can run it maxed out" π€£π€£π€£... So I think it will be with the 5080 or 4080ti or whatever comes next π€£... Same for dirt rally 2, waiting for decent quality. I'm getting a Fanatec DD Pro GranTurismo edition with H shifter and handbrake (replacing my old g29) in a few days, so maybe I will go back to the PCVR racing games also...
@gollumb82 quest2 is nice, I stopped using it with PCVR because my PC couldn't handle the quality I was expecting with the required framerate... I've a 3070 and while I can play any game, using high graphic settings or of course going up with the resolution causes framerate dips etc and I opted to wait for the next gen of GPUs... But now the 4090 is expensive and has some issues I think need some ironing... So I will wait to the next refresh on the curreng GPU gen. Meanwhile I enjoy GT7 with the PSVR2, it's something awesome. Overall the Quest2 is an amazing piece of hardware for the price.
@gollumb82 sorry, I've misspelled PSVR1, the reference was for going back from PSVR2 to Quest2. Really the Q2 fits really bad in my face now, but of course I didn't felt that before using the PSVR2.
@gollumb82 I've the quest2 and psvr2 (also had the psvr1)... Going back to the quest2 from psvr2 shows how bad the fit of Q2 is (and the LCD display). And yes, PC compat for PSVR2 is what we need π
I think it couldn't be worse. Even spiderman2 is just... Nothing! It's the same spiderman game, nothing cries next gen there! Only the city looks better.
I've played MK1 on arcades day one, I remember I couldn't believe the graphics and the violence... The first fatality I saw was the sub zero one, grabbing the head with the spine... Awesome.
Waiting for the Digital Foundry tech review π ... Really interested on the improvements, from a tech standpoint. Anyway is still a game designed for PS4. Have to finish Forbidden West to test it by myself π€¦
@PlatinumKing can't stop playing it. It's just amazing. It will take another generation of HMD tech to have really great visuals. The sweet spot of PSVR2 is really small, and greater FOV would be appreciated π ... Anyway it's great. I've had the PSVR and also have a quest2, it's not much better than Q2 in PCVR apart from the OLED screen.
There's an option missing on the poll... I WANT to buy PSVR2 right NOW... but Sony is not selling it -yet- on my country (Argentina, although it's advertised on the local web page)... So even if I have the cash in hand and the will to skip sleeping in order to enjoy it, I can't. I did buy the PSVR on launch back in it's day and also have a Quest2, so I'm very excited now... I guess I can only wait.
Played the original on PC back then, one of my favs... Being a fan of movies like Goodfellas and Casino, I couldn't help but fall in love with this game.
My type of game. I've played the original Maniac Mansion and Larry 1 where you had to type the commands π ... Sierra and Lucasfilm/LucasArts gave us gamers so much...
@Art_Vandelay good times those! I was so jealous of SNES and megadrive owners π€£... Anyway my favourite genre was (and still is I would say) adventure games (aka point and click)β¦ and that was absolute exclusivity of PC platform.

Re: PS5 Pro Will Reportedly Boost PS4 Games, and Reduce PSVR2 Motion Sickness
GT7 with PSVR2 need the help from PS5 PRO to improve LOD distance and add more definition, also may hit native 120fps??
