PlayStation VR2 vs Meta Quest 2 - Which is BETTER?

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I think it's a HUGE bummer the PSVR2 isn't backwards compatible with original PSVR games. What do you think?

[@parker1631]

I agree, but with the changes in the technology that were made to get such better results, I don't think there would be a way to make this headset emulate the old psvr in a way that would allow global back compat. The light ball tracking and headset mounted tracking cameras are like two different languages. However, it looks like the devs of some of the most successful psvr games are working on psvr 2 patches, which is the best we can hope for.

[@badplayerone1731]

That’s actually up to the game developers. So hopefully that will change.

Yea it does suck a little bit but the PSVR2 is amazing. I've been enjoying. I got the horizon bundle also. That game is different but it's great. The eye tracking is incredible. Never experienced anything like it before. Moss and moss book 2 were originally on psvr but the games now look even better on PSVR2. The tech is great. I think that's why it's not backwards compatible. The tech doesn t match up.

For sure. I refuse to believe those non-believers that PS VR 2 is already going down. Polyphony Digital and Capcom would not invest so much to their AAA titles if they'd know that PS VR 2 will not succeed. But some people will say crazy things all the time, no matter what.

[@danielzivocky5846]

I love the accessibility settings in the games. For instance I didn't know what vignettes are there for and now it helps me not to tire my eyes when turning, but in the Horizon you can choose to just switch everything off and just turn yourself, which feels completely natural in the game an it is great. Moving forward with the stick is absolutely perfect. No motion sickness anymore, also thanks to smooth fps in comparison with PS VR 1. That movement and slow fps there killed my playing on PS VR1 after few gameplay sessions, especially when turning the camera.

[@JamesCook76131]

Lolol considering that other vr games have a much more robust VR system from earlier games, I would hope GT7 would be fully playable, anything less would’ve been a failure. VR has been this good for almost 10 years now, just needed a pc.

[@johnb4467]

I hope PSVR2 does well! More than anything I just want *VR* to thrive, evolve, and grow as a technology. :) If I had a PS5, the lack of backwards compatibility would almost immediately deter me though. I know Sony and a lot of people claim that it's not possible, but PC VR has been accommodating for different headsets, controllers, etc this entire time...and I just don't think it's a truly valid excuse. The PSVR2 cost? I think it's very reasonable for the tech you are getting. It's by far the nicest "mainstream" VR headset as far as what's in it. It's expensive, yes...but you're getting a lot for the money & may push VR [as a whole] forward. It's almost not fair to compare the Quest 2 internal GPU to the PSVR2 (being ran by the PS5). The PS5 obviously has vastly more resources. It's interesting to see that MetalJesus feels like it's not a huge overall issue --I would have thought it'd be more-so. It comes at the price of being physically tethered though. I mainly use my Quest 2 (wirelessly) with my PC for VR, so it really is the best of both worlds. Doesn't have the OLED of the PSVR2 or the adaptive triggers, etc...but both setups have their tradeoffs (being wired for PSVR2 would likely drive me crazy).

[@coffeecup086]

One other thing I really like about the Quest 2 is the internal speakers. They are really underrated. It’s really amazing how well rounded the audio is for not having earbuds in your ears. I like the fact I can still have conversations with people in the room while I’m in VR and if I want a more immersive experience then I can just plug in a pair of earbuds or headphones.

[@JamesCook76131]

On quest 2 you just hear people talking cause there is sound leakage.

[@joemh]

@@JamesCook76131 How does the "open ear" experience make it more immersive? By definition, it makes it less immersive. You can hear more of what is going on in the room you are in irl. How is it more immersive hearing a fan or AC going, doors opening and closing, washer or dryer going, other people talking in the room, etc. while in a game? It certainly is more convenient when you want to talk to others in the room or need to hear what's going on around you irl, but it is definitely less immersive. PSVR 2 does have a audio passthrough (sidetone) that allows you to hear through the headphones what is going on around you, but I agree the open ear speakers are better for this because with sidetone you also hear yourself in the headphones when you talk which is a bit weird/distracting.

[@Zumii]

Problem with Quest is it’s on a mobile chipset. Quest has really been holding VR back in terms of big experiences, not that it doesn’t have some neat stuff, but it’s just not capable of blockbuster games, without being tethered to a PC. PSVR2 will hopefully bring the AAA VR experiences back.

[@joejoesoft]

The problem is the video chipset. The Red Matter 2 devs (arguably the best looking game on the Q2) said the CPU performs surprisingly well. The GPU, however, has weak ventilation and is locked to a lower clock speed because of it. It's the weakest point for performance. The devs where able to double the resolution for the Pico4 port because of this and the increased FoV. Money is holding back AAA VR experiences. VR is a niche market with 20% the audience of a console like the PS4. Compare best selling big budget game Half-Life: Alyx to PS4s God of War. Alyx had sold over 2 million copies. GoW has sold almost 20 million. Drop the budget and you get well over 4 million copies for Beat Saber - across all VR platforms.

[@wlot28]

Like the other guy said, the main problem is big developers not having enough monetary incentive to create great games for the Quest 2 that are optimized for the hardware and can run/look far better than anything indie devs can put out. Especially with the upcoming Q3 which reportedly has a x2 processing improvement in its SOC, by that point all we really need is good developers that can optimize games for the mobile chipset that don't look awful. There are already some pretty good examples of great graphics on the Q2 from games by talented developers like Red Matter 2. However right now there's too much risk, development cost and lack of sizable playerbase to make it worth it outside of being paid to develop a project by a publisher.

[@Erik20766]

@@joejoesoft the GPU is almost always the bottleneck in gaming, so no surprise there. Thing is, if you want comparable performance to a beefy gaming PC or PS5 you need a lot of compute that 1: weighs a lot more (including cooling) than would be comfortable in a VR headset, and 2: uses so much power that the battery for it would make it even heavier, or make the battery life extremely short

[@Tennethums1]

The Quest can be hooked up to a PC. So, unlike the PSVR, the Oculus is adaptive; take it with you and enjoy the limitation (but still fun!), or hook it up to the PC and play whatever.

"without being tethered to a PC" Er... Yes And the PSVR2 has to be tethered to a PS5 So what's your point?

[@JasonXME]

The thing I noticed with the PS VR2 is if it’s not tracking your hand or are you get stopped in the middle of the game because some weird thing displays on it’s usually because you don’t have enough light in the room. It makes a huge difference when you have lots of lights in the room, so turning on your ceiling lights or lamps, maybe opening a window that will all help.

[@ShapeshifteR-TheAnomalyGameCat]

Yeah i noticed that! Really the other way around compared to PSVR 1, which preformed best in near dark surroundings.. Also, make sure to have PSVR 2's tracking assist enabled in the PS5 options, it provides just a little extra security!

The back compat issue is due to the controller differences. Sony had stated this in a release a while back. They also said it would be up to the Devs on whether they would convert it to work on psvr2.

[@TarisRedwing]

interesting hopefully they get that worked out in a simple update because they have a gold mine they are sitting on.

Right, it takes time to update titles to work with the new hardware. People want instant everything. Funny how Microsoft took years to bring backwards compatibility for some of their older titles but no one got upset about that. It takes time.

[@lazarushernandez5827]

Every PSVR1 one game requires several things to function correctly; tracking of the players head, and tracking of the controllers. The PSVR 2 provides a better/more accurate tracking implementation than the older hardware does. Sony could do a console/OS level patch/wrapper that takes the data the PSVR2 headset/controllers provide and converts it into what a PSVR1 game expects/understands.

Well, not exactly. PSVR 1 and 2 are not standalone devices. In their case, the console always does the computing. Ergo, the backwards compatibility solution is much simpler, since PS HMDs are image displays. The PS5 can play almost all PS4 games, we're talking over 4000 titles... excluding VR games of course. In contrast, Quest 1 and 2 are standalone hardware with their own display and computing capabilities. With different hardware.

@@munton5150 I understand your point of view. My opinion - as a long time VR gamer - is that the standalone, zero cable solution is a huge advantage, not to mention the 3D video playback capability. Plus you can buy an MQ2 for $400 which is significantly cheaper than a PS5 and PSVR2 system. Not to mention PCVR, SteamVR without a cable (AirLink). Also when you want to to upgrade to a more serious device like the MQ3, you can sell the MQ2 and because it's standalone hardware, it's easy to sell. Facebook account hasn't been needed at all for Meta HMDs for a while now, a plain mail + password combo is enough. Make no mistake: The PSVR2 is a good HMD, but I feel the MQ2 offers a lot more at a lower price.

That doesn't make sense, you can't expect the oculus 1 to be forward compatible, such a think doesn't exist, of course you need a newer oculus. Expecting a NEWER device to be backward compatible DOES make sense.

@@SilentMott you miss the point. Quest 2 came out not much more than a year after the quest 1, so it would have been totally fine to support RE4 at 72 fps on the Quest 1. People even hacked it and it worked. The new price drop of the Pro from $1499 to $999 further proves they don’t much care about you, or about your investment. They just want your data.

[@c17slug]

I picked up a PSVR 2 last week and I’ve been really impressed. It’s such an improvement over the original PSVR (which I annoyingly still have hooked up to my PS5 as well) and broke down and bought a Quest 2 yesterday for some reason reason (income tax I guess, but mostly Resident Evil 4 VR 😂). I like all the exercise/fitness apps on the PlayStation headsets but my kids are always on them when I wanna use it so I gave into temptation and ordered a Quest 2. I plan on doing the majority of my VR gaming on the PS5 and using the Quest 2 as a fitness machine (Synth Ryders, Beat Saber, Pistol Whip, and other games that get you moving a lot) plus an RE 4 VR machine (it’s been SUPER fun but man it seems to crash a lot… maybe I need to delete it and redownload it?). Resident Evil is probably my favorite franchise (or at least in the top three) and being able to play RE 4, RE 7, and RE 8 all in VR is quite amazing. Just sucks that they are all locked to separate headsets (Quest 2 for RE 4, PSVR 1 for RE 7, and PSVR 2 for RE 8)… Anyway great video (like always lol). I really love VR and how immersive it is. Really hope it continues to grow and improve.

For kids and casual gamers, Quest 2 is a good entry point Vr. But you will realize very soon that you need to spend a ton of money to upgrade it. PSVR 2 is perfect out of the box and is 2 generations of VR ahead of Quest 2. It looks like quest 2 is much cheaper, but it actually is not because of all the costly upgrades. Unless you don't have the money to play AAA VR games, you should not go for Quest 2 in the long run. And a gaming PC is much more expensive than a PS5 for playing AAA games with the same quality. PS5 + PSVR 2 is the best inexpensive AAA VR and nonVR solution for most gamers, except for some very young kids.

Unfortunately, I've seen no direct comparisons between the Meta Quest Pro and PSVR 2, so I can't know for sure, but it seems like PSVR 2 quality still beats the Quest Pro for only $50 more now. That they lowered the price I think validates that it is at worst an equivalent experience for the same ~$1,000 price overall.

[@ggg21201]

Great review! I don't have either system yet, but I'd say the slight disappointment in PSVR2 is justified. However, I think the part you don't give enough credit to is the fact that I think the playstation game development eco system is the PSVR2's biggest selling point. Gran Turismo is probably the prime example of that. I know when I owned first Oculus (my first and only VR headset) I was disappointed in all the games I couldn't play that were only available on the PSVR. I imagine that will be the same for PSVR2, especially as more developers make games exclusive to the graphical ability of the PSVR2. I don't like making promises part of a review, but in this case Playstation has a proven track record and a very large lead in graphical ability, so I think it's safe to assume that you're going to see a lot more games exclusive to the platform in the future. Well, and I suppose this is key, if the player base is there.

Ok…the expensive part? Not really, go compare the tech (not the meta quest) to equal pc vr tech including the pc to run vr then see where you are at with pricing. For what you get for the money with the PSVR2, it’s actually not bad at all, including the price of a PS5 ( if you don’t already own one) On top of that, you have the future of Sony titles, and if your just getting into VR, you have all the titles you might have missed.. see what people don’t understand about the library is that they are looking for a player base that is also new to VR and not have the previous titles. Not everybody will have owned a PS VR 1 or have owned a meta quest two. Also, I find it interesting you did not address the ”widespread issue” of the faulty controller’s going around that are not syncing with the games. It is way more than just a few. Although it is only a software issue, it still needs to be addressed by Sony and is affecting many people. (Except for some odd reason, not major, influencers and Contant creators, hmmmm) The cable is not really a issue, and actually would rather have the cable. What people don’t understand is that this does not have a mobile processor, and this is actually running off the tech of the PlayStation five. I would rather have that power with the cable, then a standalone, less powered VR headset…

Great review. I agree that new products should be backward compatible with previous titles. Just makes good business sense. Keep the ones that you have already, while luring in new ones. V/R could really be beneficial to many if companies and developers would get on board. I was thinking the other day, it would be awesome if Disney, Universal, and Six Flags got onboard and did Theme park games or exploration programs. Folks could use them to “almost” experience the actual parks before going, or for those of us that can’t afford to go. Those with disabilities preventing them from traveling would be able to experience the rides, shows, and atmosphere of the parks. Folks that can’t be out in crowds could experience those parks as well. So many more ways that v/r could be used and enjoyed by folks, as well as gaming.

It is so unreal how much detail they put into the car interiors. I’ve even been pricing out racing rigs and Logitech wheels. I’m totally going to put one together once I save for it. Just not right away since it already took me months to save for the PSVR2, and the setup I currently have priced out between a collapsible racing seat and wheel (with shifter) might cost almost as much as the headset.
