Still waiting for a date and place to throw my pre-order money.

I'm on the same page as most with this, it sounds like. Hugely disappointed but I can totally understand the reasoning.
I was waiting on this news to know what to do with my VR1 and hadn't bought Moss 2 yet just in case news of a port came. Guess I'll hang onto my 1 until we know the full launch line up. If Moss 2 isn't there I'll buy it, play it, then sell my VR1.

I'll be 100% ok with all this if they can just port over Astrobot Rescue Mission, Moss 1 and 2, Rush of Blood, and maybe a few others. I'm positive Astro will get ported, maybe even be a launch title, and fairly confident the Moss games will be brought over too at some point but I wish they would just TELL US whats going on and what to expect!

I need to go meditate.

@Jbuggydroid I've literally never played NMS in 2D. Only VR. Its honestly one of the most magical gaming experiences I've ever had.

Ready to pay up to 1000 bucks. Just give it to me now.

I already have this game. Its called Ghost of Tsushima.

Nearly done with my 2nd playthrough of Tsushima, this time on PS5 with the DLC. One of my top games of all time. No way Assassins Crap will touch it.

@MattSilverado I hear ya on the wire initially being a bummer but to be honest its a massive plus in the end. The one other benefit of the wire you didn't mention is the most important one and the very thing that can potentially make it the best VR headset yet: processing power. Because of the wire it can fully utilize the power of the PS5 instead of needing to cram its own horsepower into the headset itself.

Adding them all! I need this device NOW!

This is actually kind of big news. It really shows that Sony is doing all in thier power behind the scenes to make it as easy as possible for VR to go mainstream. To get as many devs (and thus games) as possible on the bandwagon. I really feel like PSVR2 will be a turning point for VR.

Maybe ill look into it though I don't have the time for an MMO.

So glad I got mine already. Haha. People will complain but still get one anyway. Even though a PS5 is a luxury item, people have a way to get what they want regardless of budget. If their mind is determined to get something, it will happen somehow whether its considered affordable or not.

Its weird that we're at the point where I can watch a trailer like this and recognize the actors that did the mocap. Haha. Technology is crazy.

I'm so hyped to get this day 1!!!

I'd only pay $15 more than the normal one...haha. Never really understood the need for a pro controller, personally.

@dschons Dude, 100% me too. I remember chuckling out loud at certain points because I just couldn't believe what I was experiencing. Lol

@Shepherd_Tallon Thats crazy you haven't played it! Haha. But its also exciting knowing you still get to do that for the first time. Heck, maybe if you keep waiting it will be at launch on VR2.
I dont wanna be overly dramatic, but to me Rescue Mission was the Mario 64 of VR. The game that made me realize "Oooooh so THIS is what VR can be". Made me realize that VR doesn't just have to be gimmicky tech demos but actual full experiences.

I've got the money. Just tell me where to throw it!!! HYYYPE!

@Shepherd_Tallon Dude...Rescue Mission remastered for VR2 is a MUST! Best VR game ever made imo.

YAASSSS. Even though Moss was one of my favorite PSVR games (and one of the best in general), I specifically avoided Moss 2 hoping I could play it somehow on the next gen set.

My wishes came true! Now I just pray VR2 is either backward compatible or they re-release Moss 1 on it.

I'm not too sure what the hype is all about for this one. I mean, it certainly looks impressive visually and whatnot but it just looks to me like another samey open world action RPG (which I'm frankly very burned out on). Is there something that sets this apart that I'm missing?

@freddquadros Exactly. Even if this battle system is well made, it has to be integrated well too. For example, FF7Rs balance between old and new was cool, but that games story and exploration was so broken you never got to actually use it. I feel like there were like, a dozen battles in that entire game. Haha. To me, to make an FF tick, it has to have these things in order of importance:
1) Deep characters that you love and that have a proper arc.
2) A compelling, comprehensive story
3) Satisfying exploration and party management (not linear)
4) A fun battle system

I 100% get where he is coming from. At the end of the day you have to make a product that will sell in the current climate but as a fan thats been with the series since FF2(4) on the SNES, it still makes me a bit sad to see this shift away from turn-based already completed in the industry. The RPGs of the Golden Era are long gone and won't be coming back.
But you know, at the end of the day I play FF for STORY and CHARACTERS and that is precisely where the series has really fallen in my opinion since 10. That's what they should be focusing thier efforts on regardless of battle system. I still think 9 was the pinnacle of the series. Great story, great characters that had proper arcs, satisfying ending, etc.
Anyway, if FF16 can deliver on a good story with good characters and satisfying exploration, I'll be happy. I've played my share of action RPGs and this style of combat can be really fun too so I'm willing to give it a solid chance.

As a side note, how freaking cool would it be if SE had two lines of FF games being developed at all times? Kind of like how Zelda and Mario both have 2D and 3D entries, both having different rules and expectations. One line could be new 3D FFs with all the newest gaming trends while the other line could be old school SNES or PS1 style turn based stories that were cheaper to develop?

Great news! I started it on PS5 but felt bad that I didn't get far and kinda forgot about it. This is good reason to jump back in and start over!

Lunar
Legacy of Kain 1 & 2
Legend of Dragoon
Megaman Legends 1 & 2
Metal Gear Solid 1 & 2
All Final Fantasys
Parrapa the Rappa

...to name just a few off the top of my head. I mean...PS1 and 2 are a near bottomless well of classics to pull from. For how much that tier costs, I'm still shocked they didn't do the "Netflix for games" setup everyone thought Nintendo would do with NSO. Am I crazy or is this a MASSIVE missed opportunity to do something revolutionary with legacy catalogs?

Cannot wait! Team Asobi is world-class. Praying for Astro Bot Rescue Mission 2 for the VR2!

@Nightcrawler71 Whoa...I didn't know it won't let you restart. Thats a total deal breaker for me.

Also...nice picture! Haha. Love that show.

I really need to get back into this game. Its basically Breath if the Wild but with a story.

Megaman Legends on Switch please. I'm begging you Capcom...PLEASE.

@Grimwood Had the exact same thought. I can appreciate the fact that Sony is being true to thier word and not leaving behind the PS4 players while stock is short but I'm still a little disappointed everytime I see that PS4 logo on the end of a trailer. I'm always like "oh, so this is last gen, then". Even Forbidden West, which looked and played amazing, I think could have been more if not held back to straddle both consoles.
Ratchet and Clank and Returnal were both PS5 only but other than that...is there anything really big? Waiting for FF16 for this reason...

@themightyant Aaahhh that makes more sense. Thats epic!

@themightyant Dang, sucks you had to pay so much for the import! I picked up an OG black label PS1 Japanese edition on one of my Japan trips a few years ago for 300 yen (roughly $3). Haha

Oh please...OH PLEEEASE be true!!! PLEASE!!! This is one of those lost gems Sony has sweped under the rug and ignored for decades. I'd never dare to dream for a remake or remaster...but am praying it comes to the PS Store even as just a ROM dump.

Looks cool!

Jdjdhdhdhndhdjdj

Didn't even know this existed. Lol

Just give me VR2 and FF16 and I promise I won't leave my couch for weeks, bro.

ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN! LAST CALL! THIS TRAIN IS LEAVING THE STATION!

PS5 at home. Switch on the go. XBox nowhere to be seen. Life is good.

NOW PORT MEGAMAN LEGENDS TO THE SWITCH!

Hoping for a good price point obviously but I'd almost pay anything at this point. I'm so hyped! This is one of the main reasons I got a PS5.
My last hope is that it will be backward compatible and that the big VR1 games like Astrobot and Moss will have VR2 upgraded versions. No Mans Sky has already confirmed to be doing that so I don't think its too far fetched.
I just can't wait for a refreshed VR experience. VR1 was the last "magical" moment this aging gamer experienced but the tech is ancient now and I need this updated, high-res, feature-loaded headset in my life! Maybe it will even launch with another Astro Playroom which was a ball on VR1.
My wallet is ready, Sony. Throw it at me!

@Futureshark My thoughts exactly. It NEEDS to be backwards compatible.

GIVE IT TO ME NOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!

I still think this concept is awesome and I'm glad if they wanna take more time on it.

Noooooooo! Of course I fully support them in this but still sucks.

Why wasn't the Hero of Light the original main character from the beginning? Man...this stupid game is so frustrating. Lol

Yeah, not for me either. As cool as these game worlds look, I can't stand games that are hard just to be hard. I'll never touch a souls game. Any game that proclaims that its "souls-like" is an immediate pass for me.

I just need this thing to be backwards compatible. Pleeeease.

If it is...100% DAY 1. PSVR had its flaws, a few big ones in fact, but it was a revelation for what gaming can be. Hands down that Astro Bot, Moss, and No Mans Sky on VR are some of the most magical experiences a gamer can have right now.
I think its safe to assume that PSVR2 will resolve most, if not all of 1's flaws and if thats true its gonna be MIND BLOWING. Cannot wait.

@nicc83 Oh, absolutely. From my experience I would say 90% of the F-bombs are not justified from the Japanese track at all.

Even though I'm fluent in Japanese, I still usually prefer the English tracks when I play RPGs. I mainly only play in Japanese to avoid strong language like frequent F-bombs (which I'm praying aren't featured here). Japanese doesn't technically have curse words the way we do.

Anyway, VERY excited for this game.

I kinda hate how "souls-like" is a thing now. At least it tells me right away what not to buy. Lol

Crazy what happens when you actually have good content in a presentation.
