PSVR 2 demo shows impressive finger tracking capabilities

The PSVR 2 looks to have some pretty impressive finger tracking work going on.

This along with their new controller are the perfect compliments for the already awesome 2023 lineup. Next year looks to be an amazing year for Sony.

Looking forward to staring down a videogame representation of my own arm holding a pistol and squeezing those adaptive triggers. That sort of immersion is it going to be something we haven't felt before. Now imagine hearing and feeling bullets whizzing past your head with return fire

I really hope physical releases at launch will be a thing for VR2.

I just want to see a commitment from Sony I feel a little burned by their lack of support on the psvr1 to be honest with some great games but not as many as I would want for the outlay.

I really love the tech and premise so I've pre ordered a psvr 2 worst case I imagine the community will homebrew it for pcvr support.

I'd really love confirmation if the rumoured killzone VR game that was moved from psvr1 to 2

I think it'd be longs ways from PCVR support for PSVR2, and probably will be finicky with mobo/cards. I just hope there's enough demand for devs to update psvr1 compatibility for psvr2.

I don't think you'll have to worry at all. This headset's features like this above, make sure it gets supported by developers across the board from Sony's first party, console third parties, PC developers and indie developers. PS VR 2 has the power behind it ten fold, the awesome Dual Sense controls, inside out tracking, 360 movement, analog sticks, etc. But even then, PSVR still got over 600 games and experiences. That's a lot to play through. And Sony either made games like Astrobot or Blood and Truth. Or published games like Farpoint and Firewall Zero Hour. And third parties made games like Skyrim, Super Hot, Sairento, etc.

Some developers didn't port because of control parity or power. PS VR 2 doesn't have that problem. We already see what looks like Sony launching DAY ONE with Horizon. An inhouse developer that never made a PSVR game. But is there now. Capcom already showing support with RE8. PC developers and indie developers jumping at the chance to bring their games to PS VR 2 to get more sales. If anything, you're going to be flooded with so many games, you'll have a hard time choosing which ones to get and how broke you'll be.

Once analog sticks and power was a sure thing, every type of game is now possible on it. There will still be teleport and click turning for those that need it. But the games are coming. Sony can't show all their cards with increasing competition coming next year. They got to have some bombs ready to throw.

The fact that they are releasing a second headset after profiting off of the first, means they are showing they are committed to VR.

I think the support issue is less of a concern now. Sony released some of the best games VR has to offer to date, despite the move controllers.

The fact we have sticks now and brand new controllers, PC VR games may well release day and date on PSVR2. The power of PS4 also held them back, but with PS5, foveated rendering and SSD, this is no longer an issue.

This is why Sony announced AAA hybrid games that work in both flat screen or VR, because there's no reason now to expect the hardware to hold them back.

Those same issues meant we didn't get some of the best PC VR games, so we can expect many to arrive early in PSVR2 life cycle.

Then there's the Quest catalogue. Sure, it's mostly shovelware with dated graphics, but there are some real gems in amongst them. With inside-out tracking and analogue sticks, we can expect some of them soon too and day one in the future.

off topic. Spamming PS articles to help anyone still having troubles obtaining a PS5. Looking for one? Go to Best Buy today. No online, in store pick up only. They started selling the Black Friday stock early. My local store had like 500 available - GOW bundles at $559

[SullysCigar]

What a top bloke!

[CBaoth]

doing my part Sully. If anyone having trouble finally gets one because they read my post, the five minutes I spent spamming will be worth it lol. The manager came in last night and told me they got so much stock they had to literally start putting it on the floor. Wanted to go myself this morning to verify it plus my "boy" wanted one so....
