Red Matter 2 is just about the best looking game on Quest 2. Should be glorious on PSVR2. As for gameplay its more of the same as Red Matter with some shooting thrown in. As good as the first game I think.

Half Life Alyx rumours for the upcoming Showcase. Hope it's true!

MikeRyan87 · 24-05-2023 8:32pm

We will soon see.

So hopeful for HLA and Astro Bot VR.

Don't mind if the latter is hybrid.

MikeRyan87 · 24-05-2023 10:45pm

That was rough for VR2.

Synapse looks cool and I'll play beat saber non stop but still lacking.

Potential-Monke · 24-05-2023 11:39pm

No sign of Beat Saber yet, reports from all around the world the same. Queen pack too for those who are interested.

Edit: It's available on the desktop store: https://store.playstation.com/en-ie/product/EP5067-PPSA15035_00-BEATSABERFULLPS5

Was able to Add to Library and clicked Download from Library. Turned on my PS5 and it started downloading.

Free upgrade if you own ps4 beat saber according to HotUKDeals.

RE4 looks good though... currently playing it on Quest 2 and it's probably the best game I've played on the platform

recyclops · 25-05-2023 10:13am

RE4 is the best VR experience I have played, its the best version of RE4 as well.

Wonderful advert for VR

MikeRyan87 · 25-05-2023 1:43pm

Played an hour of best saber last night having not played for about 2 years.

Forgot how good it was.

Seems the sense controllers are a little off though. Hopefully they add the option to readjust them.

Arc blocks and stacked blocks are a nice addition in the Queen pack.

Potential-Monke · 25-05-2023 8:10pm

Yeah, it's still Beat Saber but the sabers are like gun sabers with the way you've to hold them. Not sure if it's better or worse overall, but it feels worse as I keep missing.

WarZoneBrother · 26-05-2023 4:56pm

The inevitable happened... sat on my controller after playing minigolf for some reason you need both controllers in view so I put it on seat... Unless am missing something? Lucky enough it just cracked open at the joint so it can be snapped back together..

If it was broke I couldn't even buy a new controller for it

Potential-Monke · 26-05-2023 7:54pm

I didn't even cop that you can't buy replacement VR Sense controllers... Surely they'll be available soon?! They did say they wouldn't be available separately "at this time", so one would imagine they will be soon. Stuck with sending it back to Sony for repair for now.

MikeRyan87 · 28-05-2023 1:28pm

Serious lag in beat saber when the red walls appear until they leave..hopefully gets patched soon as is causing alot of misses.

Potential-Monke · 29-05-2023 8:03pm

Yeah, there's something just not right with BS at the moment. Will wait for an update. But I also remembered why I stopped. No new music that suits my taste, and the last few free tracks are on the stupid side of hard so not enjoyable. It needs to start dropping a lot more different tracks, because these celebrity ones are mostly not for me. BS would have died long ago if it wasn't for the PC modding.

WarZoneBrother · 31-05-2023 3:27pm

Controller working fine for now anyways ...

I purchased Nock but am not enjoying it at all can't wrap my heads around controls would rather be fit to move with joysticks unless am missing something...

Beat Saber was purchased from the Turkish store I assume any DLC I buy from Irish store won't work? Would have to repurchase the game again just for DLC which would be annoying

JimBurnley · 31-05-2023 4:14pm

Switchback VR patch expected next month

Potential-Monke · 31-05-2023 5:43pm

PSVR2 needs something big, like Alyx or Boneworks. Or a new Astro.

Res Evil 8 is supposed to be great though? And the upcoming RE4?

RE7 was the killer app for PSVR 1 iirc, so maybe lightning strikes twice

Would you say it's worth it even with the gamestop discount?

Potential-Monke · 31-05-2023 9:23pm

Will definitely give RE4 a go in VR at some point, haven't played it since the original so should be good. But not really interested in those games in general.

It's worth it if you like it, if that makes sense. If you're on the fence, I don't think it's worth the cost yet. There's nothing really new for it, just better versions of PSVR1 games imo. Saying that, I haven't played all the games available so it's really a personal thing if it's worth it, which is no good to someone asking!

I would've thought RM2, Gt7, Horizon Call of the mountain are proper next gen vr games

Potential-Monke · 02-06-2023 12:20am

Haven't tried RM2 yet, tis still new I believe. Horizon, I mean to get back to, but there's so much climbing and it's not fun. Stunning looking all the same. GT7 is amazing, but im faster outside VR and its making me want to spend more money to get a proper seat/stand for the G29.

Nothing so far that makes me think VR2 is worth the entry cost. A Superhot 2, Alyx or Boneworks to really show off the power of it is what is needed. May buy RM2 tomorrow. Or I could just really want to play Alyx/Boneworks.
