PlayStation VR2: The First Hands-On - IGN

IGN: "Check out our first hands-on impressions of PlayStation VR2 and Horizon Call of the Mountain."

darthv72625d ago

Man this is looking even better than I thought. I have the same headphones already so I'm all set for the sound part.

EvertonFC625d ago

I'm so hoping for a metro series VR2 version at some point especially the 1st 2 games.

LordoftheCritics625d ago

Sony delivering as usual.

It's called Playstation for good reason.

jivah625d ago (Edited 625d ago )

Why remakes and adaptations tho. Instead of new ips, sequels and new sagas that add new experiences. On top of what is already there. If we remake everything, specifically games that are perfectly playable, there will be no progress and just circling the drain to kingdom come.

S2Killinit624d ago

I want new games. Looking at how good RE Village looks, we are in for a ride. The foveated rendering allows for VR gaming thats close (identical?) to regular flat games.

I for one, cant wait.

tbagmonster625d ago (Edited 625d ago )

oh this is looking awesome, wearing a full helmet on my head to play a game, oh wow. no thanks , the way this looks with the headphones on is laughable

ClayRules2012625d ago

Lol, your comment is laughable. Relax, tbag!

The guy detailed some fair criticisms, and yet, the PSVR 2 looks to have impressed him and many others, which is great!

If you don’t want to wear a “full helmet” on your head when playing a full video game (specifically for VR) I suggest you RIGHT NOW go brain storm, come up with a better design, the money, and get to work or come up with the design and pitch it to someone, and come back here in a few years and report on what you’ve accomplished.

May the odds be ever in your favor…

crazyCoconuts625d ago

I try not to let my wife see me while playing VR lol...i get that it doesn't look cool in the real world. But there really isn't anything better yet, and I'm not going to pass up awesome gaming experiences for years just because I don't look good while doing it.

EvertonFC625d ago

I'm hoping the 4.5meter cable isn't too long lol, I know it sounds like a complaint but I don't want it getting in the way either if you know what I mean .

ApocalypseShadow625d ago

Naysayers still trying their best and failing.

All the previews are showing PS VR 2 is the real deal. And matches and in some ways, surpass many PC VR games in visuals. Thing is, Sony has the franchises, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd party support no other headset has. That's all that matters.

ClayRules2012625d ago

Well said.

They’ll keep running their mouths, but the PSVR 2 is really impressing people with its overall improvements and great high end quality, which is great!

Sony invested a lot in this and it’s not some cheap thing, that’s for sure.

moomoo319625d ago

The only thing sounds meh is the audio options. I dont want to wear a full headset with that thing so i guess earbuds?

Mr_cheese625d ago

Got to love a negative from somebody who clearly has no intention of ever using the product.

VR is here to stay be it PSVR, Oculus, have and what ever the rest come up with. Sure its not for everybody and that's okay because that's how choice works

EvertonFC625d ago

Exactly it's hardly a fashion accessories, it'll do what it's intended to do and put you right in the heart of the game and improve immersion that a traditional game never will.
I'm just hoping there's lots of Devs out there looking at giving there old games a second wind/chance knowing alittle Dev investment could work well in VR.
Examples;
Metro 1 and 2
Deadspace
Killlzone(at least MP)
Resistance (again at least MP)
Layers of fear
Bioshock
Spec ops
Sorcery
Zombi
Modnation racers etc

ocelot07625d ago

By the way this guy is sounding. He seems more concerned about how he looks when playing games.

ClayRules2012625d ago

@crazyCoconuts
Lol, don’t feel bad man, it’s all good. Yes, don’t pass up on those video games experiences just because of how you might look, it can make for some great memories for you both…okay, maybe just her lol. It depends, but even if you look ridiculous, it’s all good haha! But continue enjoying them man, and I’m excited to hear what you think of PSVR 2 when it arrives!

@EvertonFC
Lol, yeah hopefully that cable won’t be too much of an issue, and we can use are preferred rooms with enough space to let our bodies breath in this VR experience with freedom of movement without really any issues.

F0XH0UND922625d ago

Probably the saddest comment I've seen on N4G. Who cares what you look like while you're playing a VR game lmao Thanka for taking the time to comment and tell us you're not interested.

tbagmonster625d ago

the masses do, if your trying to reach more then 10 million players then it matters, it looks rediculous, only a small subest of players will bother with a helmet to play games, seperating players will always be a issue as well., its great tech that will only go so far no matter how good it gets.

F0XH0UND922624d ago

Well stats don't agree with your opinion. Sorry

625d ago
Knushwood Butt625d ago

No way I'm getting this; I just look too cool when playing flat screen games.

Stanjara625d ago

I just thought the same thing, a helmet.

ironmonkey625d ago

You wasted Time in your no life just to comment.

Eurogamer also did a VR2 impressions

potedude625d ago

It was quite a bit more favourable than the IGN first impressions too.

S2Killinit624d ago

That’s expected from IGN. They are very critical of Playstation.

Einhander1971625d ago

Let the haters hate, PSVR 2 is going to be amazing!! Its all jealousy from sad trolls. No matter how great something is some looser needs to put it down.

S2Killinit624d ago (Edited 624d ago )

Every other hands on review talking about the controller features says it adds another layer of physicality that adds to the immersion of VR even more, IGN decides to downplay it.

Sorry but PSVR2 is dead and double dead at any sale price. It was dead before it launched as the "premium" VR scene lost all the AAA developers and now it is all indie mobile phone crap quality software.

State of Play | May 30, 2024

State of Play is back! Tune in live for updates on PS5 and PS VR2 titles, plus a look at PlayStation Studios games arriving later this year.

darthv721d 13h ago (Edited 1d 12h ago )

Im getting a bit of GotG vibes from Concord.

Ragnarok coming September 2024... that's just shy of 2 years since the PS5 release in November 2022.

-Foxtrot1d 13h ago (Edited 1d 12h ago )

I thought exactly the same. If they made it more like the GotG game and it wasn't online focused I'd have been sold instantly.

BISHOP-BRASIL1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

Yup, I was hyped up by the cinematic trailer and immediately put off the moment the gameplay trailer started, that was very high quality and great concept cinematic just for another Overwatch wannabe... Here's hoping they succeed so eventually someday they make an actual campaign focused entry for the franchise, but I'm not holding my breath and I'm definitely not falling for always online crap and FOMO just to follow drip fed cinematic "content".

EDIT: I'm still watching it as I comment... OMG they have another hero shooter, Marvel Rivals, seriously, they missed 2020 or something? For those not into online only and VR games, gotta say, poor show so far...

Profchaos1d 12h ago

Gotg would of been a hit if it released before Avengers was my goty a few years back so I'm intrigued here

RaidenBlack1d 12h ago (Edited 1d 12h ago )

GotG is very underrated and had the unfortunate luck of releasing just after Avengers.
Its really good and more people should play it.

Lightning771d 9h ago

Concord didn't do anything for me personally just another Overwatch mash up with other fps stuff. I mostly popped for Dynasty Warriors for next year. That was my biggest reveal I was genuinely excited for.

No Ghost 2. It's very clear Sony will wait later to Announce the Big Aaa's they don't wanna announce stuff too early and rather announce it closer to release.

darthv721d 12h ago

Maybe its just me but Astrobot looked more R&C inspired than ever.

P_Bomb1d 12h ago

Astro won the show. Looks epic! Huge bosses too like from the PSVR game.

shinoff21831d 12h ago

Astro bot and silent hill 2 remake are what I'm liking out of this.

RaidenBlack1d 12h ago (Edited 1d 12h ago )

Most games appeared good.
Where Winds Meet and Monster Hunter seemed like those needed a bit more polish but that's ok as those aren't releasing anytime soon but I am still kinda worried regarding SH2Remake. Still looks rough and from rear view, James Sunderland looks nearly identical to Leon Kennedy's model from RE4Remake. Hope I am wrong though.
Other games were decent. Even Marvel Rivals.
Ballad of Antara was the highlight for me, followed by Infinity Nikki(purely on the art style alone).
And glad that, Path of Exile 2 is coming to PS5 and Ragnarok is coming to PC!
Behemoth for VR2 also looked really interesting.

PapaBop1d 12h ago

You actually liked Infinity Nikki art style?

PSPSA1d 3h ago

Was my favorite looking game of the show, art style looks amazing

RaidenBlack1d 1h ago

Its not my type of game ...but the design and art style is really well thought out

Lightning771d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

Marvel Rivals had a PC invite alpha test a few weeks back and they love the hell out it saying it's an Overwatch killer. I'm definitely down to play and play as my favorite.

STORM. ❄️💨🌊⚡

There's a closed beta in July on consoles but I doubt I'll be able to get in.

InUrFoxHole1d 5h ago

In overwatch 's defense didn't it kill itself?

Michiel19891d 2h ago

they also gave out beta keys where you had to sign an nda not to say anything negative about the game, otherwise you could not play. Don't support stuff like that :) surprised they even showed it here cause it looks terrible and it will fail faster than Artifact
