Aces of Thunder on PSVR2 | All You Need To Know!

[@A540678]

All I need to know is a release date, Jammy. 😂 Fingers crossed for surprise drop on PSVR2's birthday.

[@joejoe2658]

BLATANT CLICKBAIT LIE. no release date. all this channel usually does is talk about old software. (do yourself a favour and google DCS World)

[@matttrotter2768]

Man I can’t wait for this game!!! Please come out soon! PSVR2 needs this game and more like it!

[@twitcherthesingleplayergamecat]

It's coming out Wednesday!!! 🥳 Not saying which Wednesday, though (and it could be up to 7 days later than Wednesday).

[@Imotion54]

How do you know?

[@PhatControllerz]

Battlefield 1942 theme? Classic. Aces of Thunder is one of my most anticipated of this year. If it's as good as it looks, it'll be amazing, I'm sure!

[@Jammyhero]

indeed! the BF1 rendition of the classic theme - thought it fitting :)

[@JoeFK8]

If I remember correctly, there is a HOTAS style stick that the PSVR2 controllers connect to that allow an actual HOTAS feel. I think it is magnetic, so you can detach and still use hand controls too. It's been a while since i looked into it.

[@SKBKER]

I saw on Facebook Wanderer devs are giving keys to youtubers so hopefully will be released soon .

[@PrenticeSummerscales]

BREAKING NEWS. They've been quiet for a while.

[@matttrotter2768]

That is good news that game looks amazing

[@Steelninja77]

I bought my Thrustmaster HOTAS ready for this. But have been using it on Il2 Sturmovik. Which is awesome too. And the addons are very expensive but they are like 75% off atm. So I bought about £130 worth of campaigns and planes etc. I own all the main campaigns now like moscow/ Normandy,Kuban. And a couple others I forget the name of Boggsplatte or something lol. But also bought loads of other campaigns. So much content but 75% off I had too. Game looks insane in VR as well.

[@michanowak2106]

Its most anticipated game on vr2❤

[@40sndFan]

Jammy, have a look at PROTAS flight stick base for the sense controllers, all the haptics and the ability to manipulate the cockpit with your hands as intended. I'm currently using it with Ultrawings2

[@andyisabeast7782]

Are people playing ultra wings, I could never get a match

[@40sndFan]

@andyisabeast7782 I've never been able to find anyone online, but singleplayer is ok for now, considering there are not many flight games on vr2

[@andyisabeast7782]

@@40sndFan nevermind flight sims the psvr just needs more games you're sat down for lol

[@AceMaverick]

I can't wait for this

[@ybazzoun313]

Battlefield theme in the background ❤😢

[@GreyMatterShades]

Regarding HOTAS, I got a Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS 4 for PS4, which is compatible with PS5/PSVR 2. It's not too pricey and is currently on a slight discount on Amazon UK for 62 pounds. I've seen it on sale for cheaper here in Canada, but I don't know what the typical prices/sales are like in the UK. As for the game itself, I think they delayed it substantially to work on the PC version, which was probably a smart move for the sake of building a sustainable audience. I'm not much of a MP guy (I don't even have PS+ right now), so I'm waiting to see how substantial the single player content is. Hopefully it's good though, as I loved Ace Combat 7's VR missions and Star Wars Squadrons on PSVR 1 with the HOTAS. And you might be able to interact with everything still while you're using the HOTAS, they'd just have to make an option where there's a button on the controller to trigger whatever you're looking at. So if you wanted to open the canopy, you'd just have to look at the canopy handle and press a button to make it open. It would be less immersive but better than nothing. OR, they could implement hand-tracking, so you could take your hand off the HOTAS to interact with other things. That would be 🤯

[@40sndFan]

No haptics though, I hope they offer some better options for those who want to use sticks. I bought a flight stick base for the sense controller. Best of both worlds in my opinion. Can manipulate the cockpit, still have a stick with haptics

[@CAPS_Paranormal]

PSVR2 has become a sleeper hit. I was afraid there would be no games, but I thought it worth the risk when it was on sale for $349 (the first time). I have to say, I'm quite impressed (after I became accustomed to the VERY narrow focus window). Also purchased magnetic prescription lenses...these weren't too expensive, maybe $35 US, and this last Christmas my wife got the PSVR2/PC adapter. Its a really good platform!

[@andyspoo2]

I wonder if there will be a playable demo of this to get people hooked before getting the full game?

[@scottthorpe6517]

I have my Thrustmaster Hotas 4 I previously used on Elite Dangerous on PS4. Its PS5 compatible, as well as PC as also use it for MSFS. Usually about £70-£80 and it's pretty decent

[@Jammyhero]

thanks for the recommendation :D

[@dennisrogers6786]

Will only believe it when we will see it when we see a release date. Till then I don't believe we will see it

[@HYPH4ZE]

Super excited for Aces of Thunder. I use to play War Thunder a lot on my PC, for years (before PSVR1 ruined flat gaming for me). I know the quality and realism are going to be amazing, coming from that team.

[@supercededman]

I'm an absolute newbie to this sort of game. I do simracing (cars) with a wheel and pedal set, and expensive rig, but I love anything to do with WWII aircraft. What do you think are the minimum requirements (console) to control the aircraft?

[@HYPH4ZE]

@supercededman I think it'll depend on how well they implement the VR controls. I also have a racing Rig for GT7 and absolutely love it. For Aces, they will most likely do a bit like No Man's Sky and Ultrawings where you virtually grab the stick in front of you with your sense controller. They may also add an option to use just the dualsense like StarWars Squadrons. Finally, Aces of Thunder was confirmed to also have the option of using a HOTAS (stick controller).

[@DanPyjamas]

I think there's still only 2 HOTAS Available for playstation? Reports on the Ace Combat 7 Hori compatibility seem varied. The Thrustmaster T-flight 4 definitely works. Both aren't great quality tbh. Just put drop your controller into an egg cup :D

[@DanPyjamas]

There is the "ProTas" by protube for PSVR 2 now. Looks like the best of both worlds to me if it's easy to unclick... Or if you just don't mount your off hand to anything

[@40sndFan]

@@DanPyjamas it's great, takes a real deliberate down and to the right movement to detach it. But during flight, it's solid. I just grabbed one for the stick hand, throttle hand can rest on my chair arm.

[@DanPyjamas]

@@40sndFan ah excellent. Thanks for the info.

[@bamfmoney2894]

This will be sweet. Would be awesome if PS5 could get MSFS 2024 with VR

[@GreyMatterShades]

There are some strong rumors PS5 will get MSFS, but I haven't heard anything about VR and imo it's a long shot. But if it happens and runs well, that could be a game changer. Apparently the PC VR mode brings even very powerful PCs to their knees, but with only one hardware spec to optimise for (or 2 if there's Pro enhancements) and eye-tracking/DFR, maybe a PSVR 2 version could punch above its weight.

[@G-ForceLogic]

This finally justified my Psvr2.

[@moonsofjupiter]

Strange comment when it’s not even out for a while and there are SO many great games to have done that already tenfold

[@highpriest90]

Re4, re village, GT7 : *NANI!??*

[@plo617]

Why was it removed from the Playstation store? I just checked, and it's gone. When did this happen?

[@chirpywiggins5796]

Its just slipped to summer 2034

[@alexjones3096]

Might be a dumb question but can’t you play Warthunder in VR?

[@elliotcurrie7143]

When, though?

[@owensparks5013]

Could this be the first use of Sony's new hand tracking? That would give HOTAS and in cockpit pusical controls...

[@wordsshackles441]

Cant f-ing wait

[@williamsaloka9043]

Waiting patiently.

[@PrenticeSummerscales]

Will we have to pay $60 for a MiG-23 in this as in War Thunder? That's a question that remains unanswered.

[@dead_freak_prgaming2290]

So far Gaijin already said they won't use the same model as war thunder. So no it shouldn't have that model

[@Qombat989]

The big thing for me with this is how it controls. I don't anticipate buying a HOTAS for this so how do the standard controls work? Virtual HOTAS has not worked well for me in other flying games and I'm not sure how the VR joysticks would do with precision controls like flying an aircraft. I might actually prefer using a standard Dualsense controller if that's an option. Who knows? The controls will be one of the make/break things for me. Virtual HOTAS only might keep me from being interested in this. Just my two cents.

[@GreyMatterShades]

Hopefully there are options. It would be nice if there was an option where you could just grab the stick with either Sense controller then put your hand anywhere (like rest it on a chair arm) and use that controller's analog stick, and a similar option for the throttle. Virtual HOTAS could be fine for short bursts, but I think my arms would get tired of it pretty quickly.

[@Qombat989]

@@GreyMatterShades My issue with virtual HOTAS is just that I can't seem to ever get precise with it. Without the physical feedback of a stick, I always seem to turn too much or too little. Also, the changes in direction don't seem very responsive to me. This could be entirely user error but I haven't found a way that doesn't have me turning all over the place unintentionally with a virtual HOTAS configuration.

[@owRekssjfjxjxuurrpqpqss]

As long as it isn’t pay to win like war thunder.

[@owRekssjfjxjxuurrpqpqss]

And/or pay to skip extremely slow progression. War Thunder is a fucking dreadful experience unless you pay or devote hundreds of hours.

[@twitcherthesingleplayergamecat]

Agreed. I played quite a bit of War Thunder in the very early Beta days, but I fell off for precisely that reason. Fortunately Gaijen have previously stated that this game will NOT be based on the free-to-play, pay-to-win model.

[@richnick1911]

I'm hoping for a Christmas release 2025 and a PS5 Pro enhancement!

[@owRekssjfjxjxuurrpqpqss]

You want them to delay it again? Lol. It’s supposed to be first half of 2025.

[@Cybo-Man]

Youre hoping for it to come out in a year!! Weird

[@GibbyTurismo]

If your comment is supposed to be ironically funny, well done friend. 😂😂😂

[@richnick1911]

@Cybo-Man not a year, this year, 2025. It was supposed to be released in 2023 so I'm being optimistic. 47 weeks or better.

[@GibbyTurismo]

@ 😆

[@socialdestruct5414]

2027 release date.

[@meila22]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Whatever!!

[@dvod3540]

Shouldn't be covering this scam of a game. I bought a PSVR2 stoked about this game when I heard about it 2 years ago. And here we are. The PSVR2 will be replaced before this game is released.

[@Imotion54]

Idk maybe.. wait until the game came out? Kind your fault

[@dvod3540]

@aodhan.4053 please. The rare communication they do put out is only to let the fans know its been delayed. I've played the vr plenty to get my fill, but by the time this comes out there will probably be a better VR available that most will have moved onto. Much longer and they probably have a risk of spending more to develop the game than they'll make of it. It doesn't even have that big of a following in the first place, i cant imagine what kind of sales they expect.

[@plo617]

I no longer see the game on PSN
