Re: Poll: Did You Buy Tales of Arise?

I would respectfully disagree. The question is whether or not readers have purchased a particular game. The answers can’t be purely made up of “Yes, I did”, or “I’m planning to, but not just yet”. Is it not justifiable to voice the opinion that one is not going to buy the game?

It might be the case that the camera from the original PSVR will track original peripherals when using PSVR2, but it’s a rather inelegant solution if so.

I really would like it if Sony could be more clear on the PSVR backwards compatibility situation. I’m tempted to get a V2 whilst they are back in stock, but it’s not worth it if there is going to be full compatibility with games designed for the original headset.

I have the adapter for PS5, my original comment was the error of a slumberous stupor.

I am very curious to see how backwards compatibility might work. If the original camera does work with PSVR2, then older titles will only be available to those with that camera.

Is there any chance that games won’t need to be patched to make those that require the Moves compatible with the new controllers? Would basic functionality be there without the need for updating?

I think I typed this too early in the morning.

What I meant to ask is whether the PSVR2 will have any way to track those peripherals if it is using a camera-less system. It’s certainly not impossible if the original headset camera is utilised. Whether it’s implemented is another question. Perhaps there is the possibility that games can be patched to work with the new controllers? It’s unlikely that there will be anything approaching 100% compatibility with older titles without some time, money and effort on the part of developers. Aim support would be out of the equation if the original PSVR camera is not used.

Dying Light is excellent. I’ve not played much of the two Dead Island games, but Dying Light is supposed to improve on them dramatically. Is it £14.99 for The Following edition at the moment? I would throughly recommend it.

I’m actually rather curious as to how the imminent Switch port fares.

Re: Abandoned Trailers App Can Be Pre-Loaded from 29th July on PS5, First Trailer Drops in August

I saw the headline and just found it amusing. The farce continues. Why are they even hyping this pointless app? I would absolutely love for everyone to be surprised and it actually be a playable demo for something completely different to what it purports to be. Other than that, it sounds like a lot of people don’t really care about this.

It all remains rather suspect. Just get it over with. The suspense is killing no one.
