I just got an email saying that my PSVR2 shipped! Estimated delivery on release day.

Yup me too! I didn't order the charging station til recently. But I figure it's easier to just place both controllers there instead of plugging each one in. I already do that for 2 dualsense controllers.

I love this guy. He’s struggling with the problems of being a gamer who wants things for illogical reasons

The struggle is real

Vr is a really cool and fun way to play games!

Any word on how the new VR is for people with motion sickness? I really liked my PS4 VR but some games would make me so dizzy I would just about puke (I am looking at you Farpoint!).

Is the newer VR technology any better in that regard?

From what I've been reading, the higher frame rate is supposed to help with motion sickness. Everyone is different, though.

There's a few things that will help. Higher framerate is definitely one of them. The eye tracking also helps because it makes it much easier to get the IPD (distance between your pupils) correct. Unfortunately there are some people that just cannot handle VR regardless of what comfort techniques are used. My wife can't play anything with movement, even warp movement messes with her. She sticks to games in diorama style view like Moss, Ghost Giant, etc. Or non moving ones like GNOG, Statik, or I expect You to Die. Some games were also developed poorly and made way more people sick than usual, Tomb Raider, Time Machine VR, How We Soar.

my last weekend without PSVR2 is almost over! I dunno about you ppl but I'm definitely excited to try this thing out. It's been several years since I've last been inside a VR world, and I'm looking forward to the improvements of PSVR2. Can't wait to kayak around virtual worlds. or shot fireworks while I'm floating high in the air! Or enter a planet from outer space!

What The Bat? is one of the PSVR2 games that can only be played in Roomscale mode.
It will require a play space of at least 6 feet 7 inches by 6 feet 7 inches / 2 meter by 2 meter.

Easy Allies and also Ian Higton in Eurogamer's PSVR2 review says the game straight up wouldn't let them play because there wasn't enough room in their studio.

If that sounds like it could be an issue, make sure you double check the PlayStation Store listing for games you're looking forward to.

You can lie about your play space and edit it to work from what I’ve seen/read.

Only a couple days now. What is the very first VR game you will boot up? For me, probably Fantavision 202x.

It's probably going to be Rez. I got the Horizon pack-in, but I don't really want to jump into anything that big yet.

I hope some enterprising intern creates a patch for WipEout, but the odds of that happening are pretty slim at this point.

Horizon for me because I know it will feature the new tech well.

@ErickRPG i totally forgot about Fantavision, I need to look into that now. So many games I’m interested in at launch. Light Brigade, Kayak VR, song in the smoke and now fantavision. Anyone interested in doing some gameshares?

Fantavision 202x is finally on the PS Store, but it's not purchasable yet. Probably will be on launch day. I'm glad that even though I ordered the controller charging station later, I will be getting it on launch day.

Just pre-ordered everything I wanted that's on sale currently. In a completely unrelated topic I am looking for a lot of discounted PSN

State Of Play on Thursday will have five new PSVR2 titles to show (among other non-VR stuff).
Though I'm not getting one at launch I'm still excited for this and hoping it does well.

edit: What The Bat? is getting patched to not require Roomscale

Tomorree, Tomoree, I luv ya, Tomoree. I can't wait to Vee Arr, a waayyyyyyy.

The Resident Evil 4 Remake will be getting PSVR2 support added in a free update.
They don't say if it's just a bonus mode or if the full game will be playable in VR though.

I got mine!... but still at work xD

So far bought, Moss 1&2, What the Bat, Kayak, Cosmonious High, Tentacular, Garden of the Sea, Horizon

got mine too, those controllers are beautiful. Looks like they come from DA FUTURE! I won't be playing until Friday. Vacuum and charge up controllers tomorrow morning, then play after last day of week Fri morn.

I got mine all set up too. I just finished some work stuff and am eating late dinner, but I’m about to try it out.

Bought a couple of patches. Let's see if they'll finish downloading by the time my movie is over.

If anyone gets fantavision share thoughts please. $29.99 is a little steep. Was hoping/expecting $19.99. As it stands I might just get Kayak and update Rez. There are some demos of Horizon and starwars and some of the bigger games, so that's cool.

Alright. I spent about an hour and a half with Horizon: Call of the Mountain, and it’s pretty impressive. They hit you with some great visuals (a tallneck in VR is just great) in the first segment. The climbing is a lot of fun, and using the bow is pretty intuitive. The scale of everything definitely feels bigger with the expanded field of view and crisper visuals. The biggest positive that I didn’t expect is just how much better the inside out cameras are than using the external camera like with the original PSVR. Also, the tracking with the new controllers (and the feel of them in general) is noticeably better. Although there’s still some clunkiness with all VR stuff, it feels much less burdensome than with my old PSVR. Also, the sound through the default headphones is pretty decent. You can hear the difference between climbing a rope and climbing a pipe. It really adds to the immersion. I haven’t tried my really good headphones yet, but I will soon. I’m really happy with everything so far.

did you try putting your hand in the water as the canoe went forward?

I didn’t! I was distracted looking all around me lol. Something else to try.

Just seeing this thread. Are PSVR1 games supported when playing on the PS5? Haven't checked anything about it, so I'm just wondering.

Yes if you use a PSVR1 headset, a PS4 camera, and the PS5 adapter.

Yep unforuntately the devs have to make the game playable with PSVR2. And some devs have. Rez, No Man's Sky, several others. I'm still hoping they make Rush of Blood compatible.

In Horizon I put my hands in the water just as the alligator thing went past. Scared the crap out of me. What was also cool was the fabric on the boat. Obviously I can just keep moving my hand in real life but the haptics made it feel like I was pushing against fabric. The visuals plus the haptics tricked my brain into thinking I was hitting fabric xD

Very cool indeed. Yeah the haptic feedback of PS5 is great. Companies just need to actually take time to implement it. With the haptics on the headset. Think about it being raining lightly, but you can feel the little "tip tip" trinkles on your forehead! So many cool things they could do!

Has Sony said anything about when we can expect these things in retail stores?
I think only being able to get them through Sony is why I was able to convince myself to skip it at launch. If I could get one by just walking into a Best Buy or Walmart, I likely wouldn't have been able to resist the urge and I'd probably have one right now.

I also saw UK? GameStop was offering good trade in towards these. Like extra 50% on some items. Hopefully here too.

Just saw a trailer for a VR drumming rock game on psvr2. Oh boy. I need this.

finally tried it out. Tried Kayak, was awesome. But I kept getting the grid (I'm guessing boundary warning screen) so I'm gonna watch a youtube video how to shut that off. I could feel my right hand rubbing against my curtain, but I don't care. I'm careful, I trust myself not to hit the end table or anything.

There's a drumming one and an Viking one which I believe is basically drumming but Norse.

There's also an air guitar game

Apparently the physical version of After The Fall for the original PSVR doesn't allow you to upgrade to the PSVR2 version for free. You had to have bought the digital version to get the free upgrade.

So far this doesn't apply to other games offering free PSVR2 upgrades, so I don't know what the issue is with this one.

It seems the developers are giving free download codes if you DM them with proof of purchase that you own the physical version on original PSVR and a receipt of your PSVR2.

Light Brigade is amazing so far. Shooting a gun with these controllers is next level immersion and feels great.
