On paper, the PlayStation VR 2 is a great headset for the PS5, packed with a host of immersive features. But its price is enough to put off many gamers, it costs more than the console and the games PSVR from the PS4 isn’t even backwards compatible… Which wouldn’t be a problem if Sony focused on developing new titles. But this is not the case.
Android Central reveals, citing anonymous sources, that Sony would have reduced its budget to produce video games for the PSVR 2. According to his information, only two titles VR would be developing between PlayStation Studioswhich means that players will have to rely on productions from third-party studios to be entertained in virtual reality. Android Central also mentions the leak ofSleepless Gameswhich does not mention any title VRwho has already developed four games for the Oculus Rift.
Another point that hurts, the absence of hybrid games, playable both on TV and in virtual reality. If the players could have fun with Resident Evil 4 Remake of Capcom on their PlayStation VR 2on the production side of Sonythe latest hybrid title originates from… Gran Turismo 7. Astro Bot Rescue Mission had attracted PS4 players and PSVRbut the next part, ASTRO BOT, recently revealed, is expected only on PS5without compatibility with the PSVR 2.
As a reminder, adapter will be launched soon, allowing you to use the PlayStation VR 2 on a computerbut you will have to deprive yourself of the interesting features of the headset, such as the HDRvibrations, eye movement tracking, adaptive triggers and haptic feedback… Enough to transform the PSVR 2 in ordinary headphones, suffice it to say PC gamers will instead turn to a competing model or a standalone headset like the Meta Quest 3available at €549.99 on Amazon. helmet VR of Meta also has a much richer catalog, with tempting exclusives like Batman: Arkham Shadow And Hitman 3 VR: Reloaded future
Should we bury the PlayStation VR 2 ? maybe, it seems obvious that Sony are increasingly abandoning their virtual reality headsetto the great consternation of players who paid €1,150 for PS5 and a PSVR 2hoping to enjoy a bunch of games in VR.
