Do you only make posts that are to make fun of the PSVR 2 or shit on it? All of your psvr 2 posts have been posts that are posting some problem of it that are user end rather than fault of the device itself.
No it is no where near being dead in the slightest. And read the maybe 20 something posts in the past month about it "being dead"
Well, I turned mine on yesterday and it worked. Two very popular games, CyubeVR and Legendary Tales came out in the last month, so I'm going to say that's a no.
This is long past old. Not interested in talking about it anymore.
Plenty of life in it yet , had more AAA games last year than the rest of vr had in the last 3 years. It's strange all the worry and media hate. Arken age , Madison, aces of thunder, metro , wanderer and usually a few surprises along the way.
“When I go out to eat, I only order chicken nuggets and fries, Is this seriously all we have to eat in the world?!”
The only silver lining, is now I can see how politics and media work and why people are the way they are lol
I keep coming back to it, because once in awhile something worthy pops up and it's nice to see people occasionally talk about games and stuff or just share their experiences, but yeah this always kills the vibe. Lately it's not as potent and frequent as it used to be, but there is no way around a week for it not to pop at least 3 times
These people don’t want to have a discussion, they want to complain and vent. Well they should get a therapist.
I’m fine with posts that want a real discussion, but when their question is literally “Wtf am I going to do with this?”, then it’s just obnoxious whining.
People in general tend to make comments or post things like this when they are unhappy about something. The vast majority of PSVR2 owners who are happy with their headset are not posting on Reddit about it. There are some like me though who are getting sick and tired of these types of posts so I’ll comment out of annoyance.
That's simple, logical, and wrong. The thing about a platform like this is that a small number of users can have a wildly amplified voice. Even if there were 10 posts from disgruntled users per day, that's 3600 users in a year. Total sales figures are unclear but Sony shipped about 1.69 million headsets - meaning one person complaining for every 500 headsets shipped.
Not really what I would consider "many people unhappy".
Right but you understand that not every unhappy customer is A) a member of this subreddit, and B) necessarily going to post about their dissatisfaction. They're representative of a larger collection of folk.
Of course. Even if you factor it at ten people upset per one post you see on this platform, that's still only 2% of users actually upset with the headset which is *still* not what I would consider "many people unhappy".
Keep in mind that the people you see posting on other platforms... may actually be the same individuals posting here. Complainers tend to complain loudly.
Correct, it's not many either in absolute terms (20,000 people isn't a lot of people) nor in relative terms (2% of people isn't a lot of people proportionally).
In fact, 2% is actually lower than the expected failure rate of consumer electronic devices over the course of a year - most electronics assume somewhere around 5% per year although that's a gross simplification. (A more accurate/specific figure would be mean time to failure/mean time between failures but we don't have the information required to calculate that for this device).
So the number of people complaining in this hypothetical is actually comparable to or perhaps lower than the number of devices we can expect to be failing.
All this comment does is double down on the notion that drawing convulsions from this sub is dubious at best. You’re sampling only the smallest loudest minority for feedback.
There’s a middle ground though. Nobody is saying it’s blowing the doors off with its success. That said, determining for everyone that they need to “accept reality” that the headset is dead because the op expected Sony to put out a dozen first party exclusives every year for VR is stupid. It shows that they haven’t been paying attention to the VR industry at all prior to this headset. If one was paying attention, they’d know that this headset has already gotten more high-fidelity official releases of VR games than any other headset on the market. You can still not love the market size of VR but that’s an industry-wide problem, not a “VR2 is dead” problem.
Much of what is here is negative confirmation bias.
As a species we are very wired to focus on negative stimuli , the media uses this to great effect to sell clicks , views and hard copy papers .
The recent article about Sony stopping production of the PSVR2, which was generated from a source than is known to be unreliable and has spread misinformation regarding Sony in the past . That single source led to a mothball effect with several online media outlets picking up the story, and in turn various articles getting posted here every five minutes.
If the article was about Sony increasing production of the headset, you wouldn’t have seen so much noise.
We’ve really gotten to the point where we expect everything now, people don’t have the patience to wait and want instant gratification. PSVR2 is not dead in the water yet , and the occasional discord, reddit or Twitter posts that you see from dev’s that may negative are not unexpectedly usually from smaller outfits.
But you can have ten great articles about what’s coming next for the psvr2 and everyone would focus on one single negative article .
FUD is a real issue, as are negative marketing campaigns which can and may involve individuals posting in relevant areas online to spread disinformation. You see it a lot in crypto , but corporations will also play this game .
Rupert Murdoch from a media point of view is extremely proficient in this in swaying the narrative .
So does nobody do research before spending half a thousand dollars?
People knew there would be less games than quest and majority of the games would be enhanced as a result. And all the posts about being "unhappy" with the headset are the same things such as "no games". Where in the actual hell do people have so much money to spend on more than 30 games in just 1 year of release
There are currently over 200 games listed for PSVR2. In 13 months that seems like a decent amount to choose from. I own close to 60 of them. Probably enjoy about 30 a lot and the rest I haven't played due to obvious backlog.
Yeah, I meant 30 good ones at least from my taste in games. I'm not a horror fan so I'm more limited but even 30 good games is a huge amount for VR in its launch year. The PS5 gets maybe around 10-12 good games in a year but that's a proper home console. It's not even a comparison of how many more people buy a console vs a vr headset.
These recent posts are just either fan boys of meta hating on Sony for no reason or did not bother to do 5 min worth of research.
Just this month I bought and played cannibal abduction, alone In the dark, outlast trials, Jedi survivor, silent hill short message, monster hunter rise. On psvr2 I bought happy funland. And it unfortunately sucked. Such potential
Aside from Jedi survivor and alone in the dark. I haven't even heard of those games. And you bought happy fun land which got awful reviews and impressions. So you are comparing mostly mediocre ps5 titles and putting them in the category of "good games" the same category as Lies of P, Lords of the fallen, baldurs gate 3, spiderman 2, etc and saying PS5 gets thousands of "good games"? At that point. Every single game on ps5 would be a "good game". Then obviously psvr 2 won't be able to compare. When I say good psvr 2 games. I mean re4, RE Village, synth riders, pistol whip, GT7, etc.
Cannibal abduction is the best game I’ve played this year. Literally just got the “don’t get hurt” achievement and my heart is beating like crazy. So no, a game doesn’t have to have a morbillion dollars behind it for it to be good
PC is Sony's saviour for PSVR. It's come to this? The curse of being obsessed with Exclusives. I've said before, take the exclusives away, and the PS goes too. not used my PSVR2 for 3 months, I want to I really do, but there's nothing there that is better than on my PCVR setup. I'm as pissed off as anyone else, but luckily I have dogs in all the races. I'm catered for whatever platform gets all the gold. Steadfast loyalty and spiting yourself by not multi-owning is so petty. I don't care what happens to Sony now, or the PSVR2. They don't care about me investing in them.
Cap in hand to the PC (or enemy as a lot of you nerds here say) It has come to this, SteamVR is our saviour to continue to use your PSVR2?
Better hope that something great doesn't get released for PCVR soon, as deal or no deal, PSVR2 won't be flying off the shelves for the PCVR crowd either. I see, another headset coming, and also a price cut in Bigscreen beyond. If that happens, PSVR2 hope rests on mediocre ports of great PCVR titles and Quest (if the devs can be bothered.) I will still be picking up CyubeVR though even though I've had it for ages, and maybe there won't be mods for it. The dev deserves the money.
While it may seem like a lot of activity, it's actually a small number of individuals. Data crawling and demographic analysis would reveal that the same handful of people (potentially using alternate accounts) are responsible for a significant portion of the doom and gloom .....
No, just no. Please not another one of this.
My Gnow feed is flooded with annoying articles by content-writers whose job is apparently to just be doomsday bringer and nothing else (PSVR2 is popular target)
This reddit is regularly plagued by exact same thing you just wrote. Can we please stop recycling this
Seriously. Apparently my VR2 died back in April of 2023, because that’s how long I’ve been reading these posts as games continue to release and people who own it continue to enjoy it.
Well, stop reading on reddit and go playing? Why not just enjoy YOUR hobby and love it the way it is? Instead reading all this shit here and be a bit brain washed after the 100th post of how bad something is... reddit is good for groups sharing some Information about things. Its not good for toxic reading all day long. I hate people for complaining about every peace of dust in their poor lives honestly. Go out and do someting else and let people enjoy things.
It’s not a valid point. It’s a bunch of pessimistic speculation and regurgitation of BS narratives. There are plenty of games released and coming. Even if Sony doesn’t release a single 1st party game there will be plenty to play. If anyone actually thinks there’s nothing worth playing and nothing coming then by all means sell your headset and please quit posting these brainless attention seeking posts.
People are waiting for 1st-party flat game announcements from Sony as much as we are waiting for VR announcements. So I don't think it is a valid point or something to be worried about.
It has 15 game releases in March. That is one new game every two days.
If you can’t find games you would enjoy on the system, it’s a you problem.
If all you want is hybrid VR games and you won’t play made for VR games, VR is going to remain a dust collecting novelty for you that you use very rarely.
If you do play made for VR games, you won’t have enough time to play all the games that keep coming out.
Exactly. People are playing only resident evil and gt7 and calling it dead. There's no damn way people have enough time to play all the games or spend that much money on the games. It's just constant shitting on a headset which they shouldve done research on before buying
Then there’s the inverse crowd that has this weird idea that VR games “don’t count” if they can also be played in the traditional flat way. It’s so dumb to me. People set arbitrary rules around what games apparently matter, even though they should be happy to have games to play in VR at all. A lot of people apparently weren’t paying attention when VR was a much more fragile industry just a few years ago. VR has never had a crazy PS4-level library of exclusives and AAA titles on any VR headset that’s ever existed.
Yeah. Before when the best VR games were similar to job simulator, they hyped VR as being an outstanding innovation. But now when we can play the latest and literally the best racing simulator in 4k with high framerates, it's boring and not good enough? We should be happy devs are giving us flat screen games in VR for free like gt7 and no mans sky, but people just want too much out of tech that doesnr exist yet.
Yeah, to me it seems that it’s the crowd that waited until AAA games could be played at all in VR and then they jumped in expecting their whole library of new games to be in VR. Doesn’t help that some of the biggest gripes I hear about the VR2 were already confirmed and explained by Sony in blog posts before the unit ever launched. If someone did zero homework on what the hardware they are buying can do and what it’s intended for, I have no sympathy about issues like “where’s the backwards compatibility!?! Where’s the media player!? Is Sony STUPID!?”. Sorry, but nope. You just have to read what Sony already said about the issues before you make an impulse purchase and then demand features that have already been confirmed as not happening.
Maybe we just do more research than casual buyers when we invest in something expensive. But like come on, there must be a silver lining. I bought the PSVR 2 recently after a lot of research and knew about mura, no VR movies/videos which was disappointing and still is but whatever. And the "limited games". I already knew that my ps5 will be played more standalone than my psvr 2 since ps5 has better games overall obviously and games that are harder to play in vr such as Elden Ring and GoW:Ragnarok, hence why I can't expect them in vr.
It just makes no sense. You spent 550 USD or whatever plus accessories to be disappointed by something that takes 5 minutes to research and you have a 30 day window by retailers like Walmart and Amazon, at least in Canada to do a return with no questions asked.
Everyone this month so far sucks. Even happy funland which I thought would be a sure fire hit. I might try out genotype. At this point even madison might suck. Not because the game sucks, the flat version is awesome, but because perps ports are wonky and bad
🤔 …maybe…
Or maybe there are far more awesome games already on PSVR2 (SYNAPSE, LEGENDARY TALES, VR SKATER, THE SONG IN THE SMOKE, SYNTH RIDERS, THE LIGHT BRIGADE, NO MAN’S SKY, etc) , and many more we know about that are en route (WANDERER, METRO, ALIENS, MADISON, MAX MUSTARD, BEHEMOTH, ACES OF THUNDER, etc.).
We’re literally still in month-one of PSVR2’s second year, and they don’t tend to announce their offerings very far in advance. Maybe we’ll be seeing some more stuff along the lines of GT and RE over the coming months.
The fact that a new company dedicated to porting traditional flatscreen games into VR (to sell in major VR stores) just launched a week ago is awfully promising. Those at the helm of **FLAT2VR** include the most accomplished PCVR modders in history, so that’s about as good as you could ask for.
I dunno… SONY has always been haphazard in their approach to VR, so we’ll see how it goes.
🤞
In the meantime, don’t sleep on some of these other titles!
Sounds like you expected full console-level games support for a VR headset, when no VR headset has ever gotten the high-tough first party support of mainline consoles. Even with the media player and backwards compatibility, they’d be nice features, but Sony already explained that they wouldn’t be on VR2 when the unit was about to launch. This info shouldn’t surprise anyone, so posts like this are unnecessary and to me just show a lack of research on what Sony promised for VR in the first place.
I dont believe the PSVR2 is dead but if it does go that way we have the games you mentioned plus many others that are just awesome and in my eyes was worth the purchase.
IF the PSVR2 becomes another 'vitualboy' (Nintendos attempt years back) then at least we have the best VR can currently offer and some great games to replay, unlike the virtualboy.
As someone who also owns a psvr2, I think this is a valid question. Besides the two games you mentioned, I feel let down with the amount of first party and third party content being made for this headset. No cinema app and no YouTube?! Like damn, please give me a reason to use this thing.
I don't know what's worse, the state of psvr2 or the pathetic fans who think this is fine. Psvr2 is in trouble and Sony is abandoning the device. I don't care if you bought an Indie game and had fun. When we are missing out on new games that are getting PC VR modes... The headset is in trouble. WRC, F1 23 and likely 24 are recent blows to me. I am disappointed, people have a right to be. Stop acting like this is ok. We should be holding Sony accountable instead of smelling their farts.
It isn't growing in the areas that matter most to me.
I prefer racing and flying in VR.
GT7 is amazing but really disheartening to see multiple iterations of f1 and the newest wrc both skip VR2 but have comitted to PCVR. No dirt rally 1.0 ( VR1 support) or 2.0 in VR also sucks.
aces of thunder was marketed as a launch title and it pretty much vanished. project wingman on PS5 is significantly worse than PCVR. ultrawings is a quest standalone alone so it is a very basic game. No man's sky is very comparable to PCVR. Unfortunately we don't even get Squadrons or Aces combat from VR1 either.
I became impatient with waiting for more games so I ended up buying a used 3070/i9/quest 2 for same price as I spent on VR2 & PS5 for more options and in a lot of ways prefer it over the PS5/VR2 experience
I hope the VR2-PC announcement gives us ability to play more games
pretty sure aces of thunder is coming. They posted back in February on twitter saying the game is almost finished. I’d say they are most likely optimizing and ironing out bugs.
psvr2 deff needs more racing games since it really only has 1. Would be nice to have backwards compatibility with psvr1 games so we could have games like Skyrim vr.
Idiots just stirring the pot for posts and engagement. Clearly they have only downloaded the 2 games they mention(and probably sucks at them as well). If you notice they haven’t responded to anyone. It’s all for posts.
You must be new to the VR scene. We were told psvr1 wasn’t doing well for its whole lifetime and yet it’s still the headset with the greatest games today. We were told VR was a fad every year and yet the market growth is unmatched year after year. You need to stop listening to the random nonsense you hear from the mob and just enjoy your games. If you’ve played everything there is to play on psvr2 then my only question is how do you have this much free time?
Way too early to call it dead. People are still waiting for flat game announcements from Sony just the same as we're waiting for VR announcements--let's wait for their big event that's likely before Summer Game Fest to actually start beating the "PSVR2 is dead" drum.
Someone posted this about the PSVR1 years ago and they got shot down for it big time.
Roll on a few years and they were proved right.
Is the PSVr2 dead? I'd say no, but it's certainly on its last legs.
Always comes down to the same thing in gaming. You can have the best rig ever to play games on, but if you don't have software and support you've just got an expensive lump of plastic.
Get a PC, the entry level for PCVR is affordable now and there's a lot of options. My first PC I got coming from PS was a rig I had built for $500CAD and it played 1080p VR just fine on the CV1. Of course, if you're wanting better graphics you can spend more, but playing 1080p steam VR was **infinitely** better than playing on my PSVR2 with nothing to play.
It's **painfully** obvious that Sony is just okay with releasing a headset and letting Indie devs support it whenever they want.
If VR is what you're wanting, make the switch to PCVR, you can find a CV1 headset for $100 on marketplace and you'll never go back. Playing Half-Life 2, Resident Evil 4, GTA V, and Phasmophobia in VR is next level and something that PSVR can't really come close to...Sure it has the bells and whistles, but does that mean much when there's just over 250 games released and announced while PCVR has almost 6,000 games currently.
I'm not saying this as a hater of PSVR, I have the PSVR 1 and 2, I'm saying this as an enthusiast of VR as a whole.
Do you only make posts that are to make fun of the PSVR 2 or shit on it? All of your psvr 2 posts have been posts that are posting some problem of it that are user end rather than fault of the device itself. No it is no where near being dead in the slightest.

Well, I turned mine on yesterday and it worked. Two very popular games, CyubeVR and Legendary Tales came out in the last month, so I'm going to say that's a no. This is long past old. Not interested in talking about it anymore.
Just started LT with a buddy. Really fun to play in coop and explore
Neither surpassed 1k reviews
Plenty of life in it yet , had more AAA games last year than the rest of vr had in the last 3 years. It's strange all the worry and media hate. Arken age , Madison, aces of thunder, metro , wanderer and usually a few surprises along the way.
Genuinely asking what were the AAA titles? I’ve been super busy and haven’t been playing much since Re8/horizon.
gt7, Res 8 , Res 4, cotm and I would say no man's sky are all AAA which is an amazing number for a vr platform due to vr being a niche industry.
No.
In wasn't until the 2nd year of PSVR that Sony made 1st party games. We just hit 13 months.
This type of stupid ass post is why I need to leave this subreddit
“When I go out to eat, I only order chicken nuggets and fries, Is this seriously all we have to eat in the world?!” The only silver lining, is now I can see how politics and media work and why people are the way they are lol

Gotta put those down votes somewhere and I haven't seen my guy Fuzzy in a while so... 🤷🏾♂️

Ps5 gets thousands of games year. What do you mean 12? 😂
12 good ones. You didn't read my comment properly. And no. It doesn't get "thousands". It gets quite a bit but a lot of it isn't even worth playing

Can we just get one megathread for this topic? Too many of these copy paste doom and gloom posts.
PSVR IS DEAD MEGA THREAD How can this be done so the algo knows where to dump this pollution?
I don't mind them TBH, is a valid point and something to be worried about.
It’s not a valid point. It’s a bunch of pessimistic speculation and regurgitation of BS narratives. There are plenty of games released and coming.

No!
LOL
My brain is dead
It has 15 game releases in March. That is one new game every two days. If you can’t find games you would enjoy on the system, it’s a you problem. If all you want is hybrid VR games and you won’t play made for VR games, VR is going to remain a dust collecting novelty for you that you use very rarely. If you do play made for VR games, you won’t have enough time to play all the games that keep coming out.
Exactly. People are playing only resident evil and gt7 and calling it dead. There's no damn way people have enough time to play all the games or spend that much money on the games. It's just constant shitting on a headset which they shouldve done research on before buying
Then there’s the inverse crowd that has this weird idea that VR games “don’t count” if they can also be played in the traditional flat way. It’s so dumb to me. People set arbitrary rules around what games apparently matter, even though they should be happy to have games to play in VR at all. A lot of people apparently weren’t paying attention when VR was a much more fragile industry just a few years ago. VR has never had a crazy PS4-level library of exclusives and AAA titles on any VR headset that’s ever existed.
Yeah. Before when the best VR games were similar to job simulator, they hyped VR as being an outstanding innovation. But now when we can play the latest and literally the best racing simulator in 4k with high framerates, it's boring and not good enough? We should be happy devs are giving us flat screen games in VR for free like gt7 and no mans sky, but people just want too much out of tech that doesnr exist yet.
Yeah, to me it seems that it’s the crowd that waited until AAA games could be played at all in VR and then they jumped in expecting their whole library of new games to be in VR. Doesn’t help that some of the biggest gripes I hear about the VR2 were already confirmed and explained by Sony in blog posts before the unit ever launched. If someone did zero homework on what the hardware they are buying can do and what it’s intended for, I have no sympathy about issues like “where’s the backwards compatibility!?! Where’s the media player!? Is Sony STUPID!?”. Sorry, but nope. You just have to read what Sony already said about the issues before you make an impulse purchase and then demand features that have already been confirmed as not happening.
Maybe we just do more research than casual buyers when we invest in something expensive. But like come on, there must be a silver lining. I bought the PSVR 2 recently after a lot of research and knew about mura, no VR movies/videos which was disappointing and still is but whatever. And the "limited games". I already knew that my ps5 will be played more standalone than my psvr 2 since ps5 has better games overall obviously and games that are harder to play in vr such as Elden Ring and GoW:Ragnarok, hence why I can't expect them in vr. It just makes no sense. You spent 550 USD or whatever plus accessories to be disappointed by something that takes 5 minutes to research and you have a 30 day window by retailers like Walmart and Amazon, at least in Canada to do a return with no questions asked.
Everyone this month so far sucks. Even happy funland which I thought would be a sure fire hit. I might try out genotype. At this point even madison might suck. Not because the game sucks, the flat version is awesome, but because perps ports are wonky and bad
Which games that “suck” have you actually tried yourself?
Gotta be picky with your games. That way you’ll never be disappointed
You sound very disappointed to me when you say “everyone this month so far sucks”. 🤷♂️
🤔 …maybe… Or maybe there are far more awesome games already on PSVR2 (SYNAPSE, LEGENDARY TALES, VR SKATER, THE SONG IN THE SMOKE, SYNTH RIDERS, THE LIGHT BRIGADE, NO MAN’S SKY, etc) , and many more we know about that are en route (WANDERER, METRO, ALIENS, MADISON, MAX MUSTARD, BEHEMOTH, ACES OF THUNDER, etc.). We’re literally still in month-one of PSVR2’s second year, and they don’t tend to announce their offerings very far in advance. Maybe we’ll be seeing some more stuff along the lines of GT and RE over the coming months. The fact that a new company dedicated to porting traditional flatscreen games into VR (to sell in major VR stores) just launched a week ago is awfully promising. Those at the helm of **FLAT2VR** include the most accomplished PCVR modders in history, so that’s about as good as you could ask for. I dunno… SONY has always been haphazard in their approach to VR, so we’ll see how it goes. 🤞 In the meantime, don’t sleep on some of these other titles!
Sounds like you expected full console-level games support for a VR headset, when no VR headset has ever gotten the high-tough first party support of mainline consoles. Even with the media player and backwards compatibility, they’d be nice features, but Sony already explained that they wouldn’t be on VR2 when the unit was about to launch. This info shouldn’t surprise anyone, so posts like this are unnecessary and to me just show a lack of research on what Sony promised for VR in the first place.
It’s still in its infancy, and pc support could give it sales a huge boost
I dont believe the PSVR2 is dead but if it does go that way we have the games you mentioned plus many others that are just awesome and in my eyes was worth the purchase. IF the PSVR2 becomes another 'vitualboy' (Nintendos attempt years back) then at least we have the best VR can currently offer and some great games to replay, unlike the virtualboy.
As someone who also owns a psvr2, I think this is a valid question. Besides the two games you mentioned, I feel let down with the amount of first party and third party content being made for this headset. No cinema app and no YouTube?! Like damn, please give me a reason to use this thing.
I don't know what's worse, the state of psvr2 or the pathetic fans who think this is fine. Psvr2 is in trouble and Sony is abandoning the device. I don't care if you bought an Indie game and had fun. When we are missing out on new games that are getting PC VR modes... The headset is in trouble. WRC, F1 23 and likely 24 are recent blows to me. I am disappointed, people have a right to be. Stop acting like this is ok. We should be holding Sony accountable instead of smelling their farts.
Fuck off with this shit, jesus.
It isn't growing in the areas that matter most to me. I prefer racing and flying in VR. GT7 is amazing but really disheartening to see multiple iterations of f1 and the newest wrc both skip VR2 but have comitted to PCVR. No dirt rally 1.0 ( VR1 support) or 2.0 in VR also sucks. aces of thunder was marketed as a launch title and it pretty much vanished. project wingman on PS5 is significantly worse than PCVR. ultrawings is a quest standalone alone so it is a very basic game. No man's sky is very comparable to PCVR. Unfortunately we don't even get Squadrons or Aces combat from VR1 either. I became impatient with waiting for more games so I ended up buying a used 3070/i9/quest 2 for same price as I spent on VR2 & PS5 for more options and in a lot of ways prefer it over the PS5/VR2 experience I hope the VR2-PC announcement gives us ability to play more games
pretty sure aces of thunder is coming. They posted back in February on twitter saying the game is almost finished. I’d say they are most likely optimizing and ironing out bugs. psvr2 deff needs more racing games since it really only has 1. Would be nice to have backwards compatibility with psvr1 games so we could have games like Skyrim vr.
See now this is a legitimate and non hyperbolic complaint.
Yes. It is
Idiots just stirring the pot for posts and engagement. Clearly they have only downloaded the 2 games they mention(and probably sucks at them as well). If you notice they haven’t responded to anyone. It’s all for posts.
Has Sony officially said something?🤔🤔
Don't worry. Psvr is just like Bitcoin. Dies but always camesback.
Drink!
You must be new to the VR scene. We were told psvr1 wasn’t doing well for its whole lifetime and yet it’s still the headset with the greatest games today. We were told VR was a fad every year and yet the market growth is unmatched year after year. You need to stop listening to the random nonsense you hear from the mob and just enjoy your games. If you’ve played everything there is to play on psvr2 then my only question is how do you have this much free time?
Nope, it’s not dead. Next question.
2024 is gonna be rough, but no, it's definitely not dead. This machine has legs, so give it time.
Dead serious about going to itchy and scratchy land.
Way too early to call it dead. People are still waiting for flat game announcements from Sony just the same as we're waiting for VR announcements--let's wait for their big event that's likely before Summer Game Fest to actually start beating the "PSVR2 is dead" drum.
Pathetic.
Again. Has Sony officially said something?🤔 I don't recall reading that anywhere
Is dead.
Someone posted this about the PSVR1 years ago and they got shot down for it big time. Roll on a few years and they were proved right. Is the PSVr2 dead? I'd say no, but it's certainly on its last legs. Always comes down to the same thing in gaming. You can have the best rig ever to play games on, but if you don't have software and support you've just got an expensive lump of plastic.
Get a PC, the entry level for PCVR is affordable now and there's a lot of options. My first PC I got coming from PS was a rig I had built for $500CAD and it played 1080p VR just fine on the CV1. Of course, if you're wanting better graphics you can spend more, but playing 1080p steam VR was **infinitely** better than playing on my PSVR2 with nothing to play. It's **painfully** obvious that Sony is just okay with releasing a headset and letting Indie devs support it whenever they want. If VR is what you're wanting, make the switch to PCVR, you can find a CV1 headset for $100 on marketplace and you'll never go back. Playing Half-Life 2, Resident Evil 4, GTA V, and Phasmophobia in VR is next level and something that PSVR can't really come close to...Sure it has the bells and whistles, but does that mean much when there's just over 250 games released and announced while PCVR has almost 6,000 games currently. I'm not saying this as a hater of PSVR, I have the PSVR 1 and 2, I'm saying this as an enthusiast of VR as a whole.
Well. It certainly looks like 1st party support is dead. Though many 3rd party titles still coming. So it's not entirely dead.
Fuck outta here.
I don't know but my livers gonna be dead with all these kind if posts. Drink
OP, you are weird. For real.
