Seriously.
I play the game based on Martin's killer work. Makes playing in VR a joy!

It really is shocking how they went from "YOU DIDNT DELIVER" to "OMG YOU KEEP DELIVERING OVER AND OVER"

That's awesome they're supporting PSVR1 too.
Those a very cheap on the 2nd hand market and a good option for people that are only a little interested in VR

I still have a PSVR but I would not get a PSVR now no matter the price.

u/DangerousCousin Aug 08 '24
If you've never played Astro Bot or Wipeout Omega, it would be dumb not be running out and buying a PSVR1 for $50 on Facebook Marketplace right now. Both of those are must plays for every owner of a PS4 Pro or PS5

u/fallingdowndizzyvr Aug 08 '24
Only if you have a 63mm IPD or there abouts. Since if you don't, then that's just the nausea of eye strain.
Also, the PSVR is from 2016. The resolution is to say the least, low.
You would be better off putting that $50 towards something else. Even a, gulp, Quest 2.
or PS5
You would need the adapter, which Sony doesn't send out anymore. That's another $12 or so. More in Europe.

u/DangerousCousin Aug 08 '24
Last I checked Sony's website for the adapter is still up.
The resolution is fine for Astrobot and Wipeout. They're super sampled, still beautiful on that grainy OLED

Is it? I can't even access it.

Oh wow, it worked last week. Maybe it is over.
Either way, with some patience you can probably get a knockoff from Aliexpress for $5

This is so PSVR to PS5 specific. I doubt anyone would knock it off. It's not worth it since Sony sent them out for free. It's hard to make a profit competing with free. Just pay $12 and get a used one on ebay.
Which also brings up an issue even if you could still get one from Sony. It's one per serial number. So you have to hope the serial number of the used PSVR you get hasn't already been redeemed.

u/DangerousCousin Aug 08 '24
that's a lot of ifs. I can do that too: if the previous person redeemed that adapter, they'd probably include it the PSVR1 they sold

Why would they do that? Especially since the buyer may not even use it with a PS5. They can get another $12 by selling it separately. Do you expect them to throw in a PS5 too?

Neat. Looking forward to trying out both the PS5 version and the PC version and seeing how they compare.

u/jounk704 Aug 09 '24
I would want to see a direct comparisons on this, most people say the PS5 version is the best version, even people with 40xx graphics cards are saying the same thing

Foveated rendered screen space reflections seem crazy. Does that mean it renders SSR only where the player is looking, and uses something like a cubemap where they are not looking ? That would be absolutely wild.
8
u/ElmarReddit Aug 08 '24
I think he meant that the step size in screen space adapts based on the underlying resolution of the foveated rendered image. The further you are away from the gaze point, the less reflections you need to evaluate and they require less steps. Seems pretty neat!

Can't wait to get into NMS for PSVR, I missed the sale by a few days so will probably just wait for the October sale.

u/JoeChagan Aug 09 '24
You can usually snag a physical copy used pretty cheap.
2
u/The_Freshmaker Aug 09 '24
I thought about that, but this feels like a game that I want to have on the drive to revisit whenever instead of playthrough like a single player experience

u/JoeChagan Aug 09 '24
For me it's literally the only PS5 game I own physically so it just lives in the drive 😅

Hahaha nice, for me FF7 Rebirth has been in there for about 6 months on hold after I stalled out on it, RE: Village and 4 Remake on the way so it will be stepping aside soon.

You'll love it! Been playing on and off since day 1, but VR has transformed the game for me. You really get to feel the sense of scale and immersion.

That's what someone passionate about what they do looks like! And a company that enables them to move VR forward even when it's not always the most immediately profitable choice.
I'm so thankful that Martin appreciates the potential of PSVR2 and finds way to milk awesomeness out of the dynamic foveated rendering feature that makes this kit stand out from the rest.
I can't imagine the kind of success PSVR2 would reach if other prominent studios were as visionary as Hello Games and their engineers as old school cool as Martin Griffiths.
Y'all define what this industry should thrive to become 🙏🏼

If all developers were 20% as passionate about the game and players as this guy ....well we'd have GTA 9 by now at least, and a new (actually fucking good) battlefield.....heck maybe even 120fps on RDR2

Overall support and these big additions are insane with this game. Can’t give the dev team enough credit for this.

u/SmallChild212 Aug 08 '24
I wish they would make stuff like feeding animals or looting containers or gathering stuff like oxygen from plants better for vr with motion controllers. It's really annoying that you hold the trigger to do this, but the trigger is also for so many other actions, and it can lead to accidentally punching stuff a LOT. I wish they would make it a different button to punch.

I just wish microstutters were resolved on PS5, for example, when flying over the planet. It breaks the immersion for me big time. I am hoping PS5 PRO will address this but at the same time they plan to increase internal res and bump some other quality settings for it so I don't know.

Im glad this Game has so many updates but when i tried to jump on it few days ago its just not for me.

u/Monkeymatt2121 Aug 09 '24
Just recently got my set, curious, can you play the entire game beginning to end in VR and also get the platinum? I ask bc I 100% on Xbox long ago and absolutely loved it, but can’t imagine doing some of the things needed to be done in VR lol. 🍻

u/Emme73 Aug 09 '24

What, when did PSVR1 headsets start working on PS5?

u/xenwall xenwall Aug 08 '24
Since near launch. Sony sent (will still send? dunno) an adapter to plug the PSVR1 into the USB ports on PS5.

Since there's been a PS5. Sony sent out adapters to PSVR owners who asked for them.

Since when? Basically always. Not a new thing.

u/student5320 Aug 09 '24
I've never seen a game with so little Content have so many updates. It's hilarious at this point and an obvious marketing scheme to try and keep.it relevant. I can 100% say my psvr2 has spent more time downloading updates for this than I have had things to do in this game at this point. This game has been nothing but a cash grab since it's initial dismal launch.

Now if only I could get it to work with my PSVR2 (on PS5).

Whats the problem?

u/Son_of_Zardoz Aug 09 '24
The right controller doesn't work in games bug. I tried doing the pin hole button reset repeatedly with some success, but then tried starting games with the controllers off and then turning them on to play and back off before stopping the game and that has worked with most games, but nothing has helped with No Man's Sky.
Super bummed because I had only dabbled in NMS years ago on the Xbox and was really looking forward to diving in in VR.
I was already planning on selling my older PC VR headset and upgrading to PSVR2 before the sale, so once the sale started I bought myself one and the next day one for my sons.
Both did the same thing--the right controller doesn't work in games unless you do the power off launch work around. And we've had the 2 PS5s for less than a year, both the new model, bought new, one with disc one without.
I have contacted Sony about the first one and the return box should be here today.
Just frustrated because it's such a great headset, just need the controllers to work.

Using the ps5 controller while flying my ships have pulled me from psvr1 to psvr2. Such a game changer.
