PS(PC)VR 2, anyone interested?

Just got PSVR2 for Christmas. Had a couple games already that support it including GT7, wheel and stand (it's the stand out for me at the moment)

How do people deal with motion sickness? It's no where near as bad as I used to get on the original PSVR but I do find it starting to kick in after awhile, especially on fps games.

What are the titles I should be trying?

I have

Resi village
GT7
Horizon
Pavlov
Beat Saber (this is more fun than it has any right too be)

Thanks.

You should be trying gentler titles initially until you can do them comfortable without the slightest queasiness. Then work up to more vom inducing tiles, but at the first sign of nausea you must stop and rest. Over time you'll build up your VR legs until you can do the racing sims as long as you want.

You are doing exactly the right thing. You could retry GT7 but just drive round the track like it's a sunday.... with your gran in the back seat. Drive round in a manner that you don't get sick, enjoy the views and the new car smells. After a while, maybe days later, you'll be able to go a bit quicker, and then you can ditch your gran.

It should've been PCVR compatible from day one, then they may have sold more headsets. This is just an afterthought based on the hype around the AVP

This is great news.!
I just got PSVR2 few days ago and I have to say playing RE Village was one of the best VR gaming experiences I have ever had if not the best gaming experiences period.!
The pure blacks in horror games are a must and headsets like Quest 3 just can’t get the atmosphere right with raised blacks.
Active triggers and vibrating headset just add to the experience and the brightness and contrast are just lovely.
This really feels like HDR.

Aren't you triggered by the fresnel lenses?

I think that I'm right to assume this headset is wired only to the PS and also for this PC connection to work for PCVR..? So, no wireless option at all within this headset..?

Thanks

Yes.

Looks good. I want to know how it looks compared to the other headsets. I know it's going to blow the Index away, but I'd be interested to see how it compares to a Q3 or Quest Pro.
Also really, bluetooth should have been included in the adapter, though they are pretty cheap to buy.

Here you go Rav

$600 seems a lot of money for a 2 year old motherboard.

PSVR2 compared against other PCVR headsets like the Reverb G2, Pimax Crystal Light, Bigscreen Beyond and Quest 3!

Hand tracking issues

OK, I can confirm the psvr2 works without the PC adapter on my amd 6800 and the tp-link ub500 works for the bluetooth controllers.
Alex looks stunning on the oled lenses, I think this headset is better on the PC than the ps5

Vote name change to oled gamer.

it works without the adapter?

20XX series nvidia cards and some amd cards have a virtual link port and so don't need the adaptor.

I didn't listen to the video just watched the comparisons and I like the PSVR2 more there, it's significantly brighter than the other two and the colors pop more

The G2 is going to stop working soon apparently due to Microsoft shutting down mixed reality, unless HP wants to turn it into a steam pcvr headset

I'm sure the community will come up with a workaround to keep the G2 going. It may be possible to pull the windows mixed reality software from an install and bundle it with an installer to put it on OS's that don't have it already installed. Like the way peeps are still playing Echo VR.
