PSVR 2 Has A Problem!

The PSVR 2 has been out for four months. It's a very capable VR headset that offers great VR experiences but it's missing something important for the platform to grow...

I would love to know what you all think of this!? Drop your own thoughts and suggestions below []-)

[@rinkumultani6515]

all rearview did lie about psvr 2. all said gt 7 graphics was amazing it look like just like what we see on tv but it was not. im disappointed. with resolution and image quality. i wish it was at minimum 5k i think the pico need higher resolution to. i still have psvr 2 im playing no man sky on it it look better then gt 7 for sure but still im not amazed by it. i think when we get to 6k vr headsets then we can say they have good image quality. pimax look unconfutable and is gigantic brick i want 150ish fov at max and small formfactor

[@SandTiger42]

Agree 100%!!!!! I almost didn't want to watch this because I thought "Oh no, psvr 2 is my only VR and I love it" But I figured it would probably be the same thing I've been saying. It was.

I legit forgot it exists.. :-O

[@rinkumultani6515]

@@SandTiger42 i hade multiple vr headsets over the years. but so far im not impressed with anyone that much. all are kinda of blurry not clear. i never tried pimax cos of its big size. but they do have 8k headsets those migh be pretty clear when its comes to image quality. i think vr still have long way to go. i like my psvr 2 but it was not okey for reviewers to lie about how amazing games look lol when in reality they dont

[@eldenringer6466]

Despite hating cable based VR I can suggest that the meta quest 2 wonderful 2 intros were amazing. They helped everyone I know get a feel and that dancing with a robot was unforgettable. Hope that help. This issue was solved years ago. The GOW idea is terrible for most people. It needs to be gender neutral and soft and light...not friken kratos lol I'd love it though haha

[@abadusernamechoice8485]

I do remember my first VR experience being that Oculus First Contact thing with the robot, and I learned the controls and was blown away at the same time. I feel like intros like that really help you get excited along with introducing you to things.

Yup came to say the same thing. The feeling of being there was such an intense joy and you could figure out how to grab and hold and move things at your own pace with no pressure. 3D print some toys and play with them. Shoot, throw, etc. It really was a great environment to start in.

The shark dive on the PSVR1 is still the best intro I've ever seen into VR. I still show that for first timers, even though I also have a Rift S, Go, and Quest 2.

[@WOojerVest3andQuest3onMe]

I never got a chance to experience that one. Due to not owning a PSVR 1 it would be Awesome if they would make a PSVR2 Version or Upgrade at least. I just bought the upgrade for that Thumper VR game I got for Free from PS plus. It was only $4.99 and Wow, I was Amazed! This game is much better than I expected.

@@WOojerVest3andQuest3onMe It's part of playstation VR Worlds, which I'm assuming will work on the PSVR2.

[@Myles]

Great video dude - absolutely love your studio setup :) Totally with you on making the PS VR2 introduction more welcoming for newcomers. Ideal world... when you start it up it throws you into a VR tutorial hub with experiences and suggestions. I actually really loved PlayStation VR Worlds on PSVR and of course, though Astro's Playroom was an excellent PS5 intro game as you say. There are quite a few great introductory VR titles on PS VR2, but you're not going to know where to find them unless you do a lot of research. How about a digital PS VR2 starter pack? Comfort ratings is smart, but may be hard to define / differentiate.

[@VirtualRealityOasis]

Cheers Myles! Hopefully this can reach the right people. Ultimately we just want PSVR 2 to be the success it deserves. Great meeting you the other day []-)

[@donoteatmikezila]

I really agree. Oculus First Contact was my initial intro to VR and it's been a hit with everyone who I've shared it with. I think we need a low-intensity, zero-movement demo like that. It was the perfect chance for a new Astro game to easy VR newcomers in, but sadly we didn't get that. It's one of the things really hampering VR in general, is that people don't know about VR sickness in general, and don't know that easing into VR will negate or overcome it. I play H3VR with really fast movement and smooth turning, but if you put a newcomer into that they'd lose their lunch instantly. But newcomers don't know that, so they see a cool VR game being played on KZbin, jump into it themselves, feel sick, and think that they just can't do VR. They don't realize it takes acclimation and practice to know how to deal with the sensations of being in intense VR. Everyone is worried about headsets being cheap and sleek enough for VR to take off and it's really more about making it comfortable for new players. I know at least three people personally that tried VR and bounced off of it because it made them dizzy or motion sick.

[@taralpatel2718]

I do not have vr and never experienced it. According to you, how should one proceed if they want to get in vr. You said take it slow but how?

[@parissiag23]

​@@taralpatel2718lo que puedes hacer es jugar juegos que no requieran tanto movimiento en el entorno, algo que te permita estar sentado para ir empezando luego puedes jugar otros juegos ya parado y empezar a moverte, darte descansos en la sesiones al primer síntoma malo, pero siempre darle por lo menos un rato diario o unas veces por semana para que te vayas acostumbrando, el mareo es el sistema de defensa del cuerpo para que dejes de usar eso, cuando el cuerpo vea que realmente no es una amenaza te dejará de marear, hay casos que aunque sea tu primera vez no te marea ni nada, a mi me paso que me compré los psvr1 y jugue directo juegos con mucho movimiento y no me maree pero por ejemplo mi madre si se mareo entonces también es cuestión de la persona, ya compre las psvr2 en unos días me llegan y estoy emocionado por el salto de generación!!!

[@kozzyg3369]

Thank you for making this video Mike! I completely agree that in order for the platform to grow we need to cater more comfortable experiences for new users. I work at a virtual reality arcade that introduces beginners to Steam VR games. 90% of our games are stationary or teleporting locomotion titles and we help customers out every step of the way in their experience. Because of this, they always walk away having had a great time and interested in purchasing a headset of their own (along with the benefit of being able to play together which I also think is important for the platform to grow). Love the content and cant wait for the video! Cheers!

[@jackr.749]

Excellent video, I don't do consoles but cannot believe a company like Sony doesn't have a intro for PSVR-2 that would ease someone new to VR into the new experiences. Agreed, VR can make you ill when not use to the sensations (total disconnect between body and mind), they could at least have a few VR experiences to gently ease you into it with onscreen instructions as to what to do to cope with the experience not to mention the proper way to fit the HMD on your head to make sure you are in the optics sweet spot. In example, a simple roller coaster ride, look straight forward until you feel comfortable with that, then gently start looking to the sides. I agree with you that a LOT of people are selling their expensive gear just because there was no coaching them on how to easily earn their VR Legs. :(

[@anthonyholmes5965]

Definitely something for new people. I remember starting with First Contact and First Steps on Oculus. It did really help me get started and comfortable.

[@Nicalay2]

I can definitely agree about the fact that there isn't any demos tutorials on the PSVR. Meanwhile the Rift and Quest platform have the first steps to learn how to use the controllers and interact in VR, and SteamVR have a (pretty funny) tutorial explaining what on the controller do what, and how the chaperone works, and after that, there is TheLab which is a perfect experience for new players. Also the fact that there isn't a dedicated VR menu (like the PSVR 1, btw) for the PSVR 2 is pretty weird. I was hoping to see a Quest like menu, which would be much more intuitive to navigate in it.

[@GreyMatterShades]

Yeah the lack of any sort of change to the home screen in PSVR 2 is a huge letdown. Some people want full 3D environments (which would be cool), but I'd settle for the game and app tiles popping out from the background a bit so you can see something with a 3D effect, and allowing you to select things with eye tracking. I can't imagine this would be difficult to implement.

[@RegrettableDeed]

The Rift S set up experience was my VERY first VR experience, and I have to say that they nailed it. Introduced basic VR mechanics in a very relaxed way and was the best way for me to get others comfortable with playing games before they all inevitably chose Super Hot as their first "real" game

[@JPWestmas]

Any newcomer reading this: What helped me get over any sickness at all (reprojection in PSVR2 or not) is to play fps games with snap turn; the game is still tons of fun, mainly because you can still turn your head anywhere to expand your 180 view of the world and then snap turn only when you really need to. Some games even offer a vignette of darkness that darkens your periphreal view. I didn't see any difference with that though.

[@UKGeezer]

Completely agree. I was a VR noob when I got the PSVR2 at launch and started feeling sick very quickly in Horizon until I switched on snap turn. Wow what a difference that made, i still need to use it to stop me feeling sick and dizzy.

[@michaeldurham2751]

When i played resident evil 7 on Vr for the first time it made me feel a bit queasy. Then I faced forward while I walked in the game and that helped loads. We don’t walk like Robocop I realised 😂

[@JPWestmas]

@@michaeldurham2751 Yeah something is still missing in the software to allow a comfortable smooth turn. Needs more frames or an ease in ease out motion that simulates real bodily motion when we turn more than just our heads.

[@originaltrilogy1]

A G rated introduction experience would be great, and I was genuinely surprised that there wasn't a free experience after setup. Some kind of playground and some demos would be really great, and also really great for kids parties etc.

[@michaeljoshuaholmes4482]

The 2 games that really got my VR legs for the PSVR 1 was The Brookhaven Experiment and Arkham VR. Then, the games with motion that helped after that was Eagle Flight and Battlezone. If they could port these games to PSVR 2 I think it would help newcomers.

[@Shanye99]

My main selling point was Resident evil Village vr and the upcoming RE4 remake vr, but im really hoping for more Sony based exclusives in the future. Last of us in vr or uncharted would be fantastic. I hope they continue to support because I believe that Sony is on the right track, but we need more games.

[@JustAnotherGamer1005]

I love VR. Got my PSVR (and PS4Pro) the second they got out. But for PSVR2 (and PS5[Pro]), this time I'm waiting it out, just because of the games. There are still too few (good) games to warrant the cost of the new hardware. I rather wait for more games and a significant pricedrop at the moment and be content with my PSVR1. I'm waiting for more full fledged games like RE8 and such. We are a point now, those small games don't cut it anymore. Heck, just go into PS3 games and remake some of those with VR support. That era had fun games. I'm still hoping for a MotorStorm Trilogy, Killzone Trilogy, Resistance Trilogy, ... remakes with VR support.

[@davebrogan7941]

I agree 100% with this. I migrated from pc to console with the PS4 and upgraded to the PS5 shortly after it was released. I’ve held off on VR up to this point to let the technology mature a bit. I just purchased my first VR system with the PSVR2 with the Horizon bundle. My experiences were exactly as you described. Inadequate onboarding, lackluster tutorials, with no clear guidance with how I’m supposed to approach this new technology. My expectations were shattered and I was absolutely blown away by the intro sequence of Horizons. I thought, what an amazing technology this is! But, as you said, once the climbing began and I fell off the cliff a few times, motion sickness set in and I turned the game off. I’ll probably take a step back - maybe give it another try tomorrow from a seated, fixed position. And I’ll look for some easier demos and games to ease into this new world. But I feel like I’m largely alone trying to figure things out.

[@greenlotus3718]

No issues with mine, best purchase I ever bought along with the ps5

[@TheChaz4526]

[@r0nalxd]

I never realized this was a problem, until I saw this video. You have very solid points for newcomers to VR. Perhaps Sony forgot not everyone will be upgrading from an existing platform 🤔

[@gail1178]

As a VR newcomer, I totally agree with you!! The PSVR2 is my first experience and I would have loved more introduction to it before diving into Call of the Mountain, which I got with the set!! I didn’t even know about the effects of the different comfort settings or even that they existed!! I had to look up those informations online. An introduction in the Astro game would indeed have been a fun one!! (Although finally being able to play the Moss games totally helped as well!!) I’m still in the process of getting my VR legs, slowly learning with each game. More guidance with ratings would definitely help choose games in the future!!

[@GreyMatterShades]

Moss was the first game I played on my PSVR 1, and it definitely helped get me into VR. Sucks that you had to go it alone without any sort of guidance. Hopefully you're still enjoying VR! Here's a few tips that helped me get my VR legs: 1) Have a fan blowing on you while you play. Sounds weird, but it helps a lot with comfort and keeps you slightly grounded in reality. Also helps you tell which direction you're facing. 2) You already sort of know this one, but start with comfortable games. Moss 1+2 are awesome for this, but here's a few more: Beat Saber, Before Your Eyes, Cosmonious High (demo available), Demeo, Drums Rock (demo available), Job/Vacation Simulator, Pistol Whip, Puzzling Places (demo available), Ragnarock (demo available), Rez Infinite, Startenders, Tentacular, Tetris Effect Connected, Thumper, and Zombieland Heashot Fever. 3) If you start to feel uncomfortable, STOP. Ideally you'd stop before you feel uncomfortable and just have shorter play sessions, but the most important thing is that you need to stop until you're fully recovered. That could mean standing still in the game and waiting until the feeling passes, or taking the headset off for a break or for the rest of the day (depending on the severity and persistence of symptoms). The important thing is not to try to push through it, except... ...another thing that helped me was pushing myself little bits at a time in a controlled way. If you own a game (or download a demo) where a particular action makes you feel uncomfortable (like walking forward with smooth locomotion or turning with smooth turning), try to do it for just a split second then stop. If your discomfort subsides quickly, wait until you're feeling totally fine and then do it a little bit more. You never want to push yourself to the point of persistent symptoms, but if you can recover quickly I think this helps a lot with building up tolerance. Be careful though. If it starts taking longer to recover, switch back to more comfortable settings or switch to a more comfortable game. If you want to attempt this, it could work with Horizon, or there are demos of Resident Evil Village, Song in the Smoke, and Star Wars Tales from the Galaxy's Edge. All of those would work, but Song in the Smoke might be the best, since it runs at a higher framerate than the others which helps with comfort. Anyway, I hope this hepls!

[@gail1178]

@@GreyMatterShades Thank you so much for your answer and advice!! Yes, I’m still enjoying VR, and getting better while playing, even though I still have to choose games carefully! I was able to finish Call of the Mountain twice with some changes in the settings along the way as I grew more comfortable with them. Yet a game like Kayak mirage made me queasy in the tutorial!! 🤣 But I won’t be selling my PSVR2 ever, love it too much!!

[@GreyMatterShades]

@@gail1178 Yeah I've heard mixed things about Kayak Mirage. For some people it's very comfortable while for others it's instant nausea. I think there's a boat stability setting, and maybe some other comfort options that can help. Also maybe don't try the Norway storm level 🤢😂 Glad you're still enjoying VR though! You'll have your VR legs in no time!

[@bio2189]

True, I've been playing VR since 2018 but I did find it odd that the headset had nothing to really ease me into it. It's a non-issue for me but I can imagine it being a bit obtuse for newcomers

[@ChrisBrown-qg3qt]

I had a problem with the headset sitting hard on my nose so I just put 2 squares of Velcro on the front piece and the headband and used one strip of Velcro to pull the front piece up and latching it up on the headband piece. Not only does it take the pressure off my nose, but it also makes it's much clearer.

[@shapeshifter-theamorphousg3264]

It needs a VR Worlds 2 for sure! Back with VR Worlds, Scavengers Odyssey proved a bit too much for me when i first played it, and i learned it there. Nowadays i can play anything, i'm well adapted. Good point there, Sony needs to change some stuff in favor of VR

[@anthonymartin3642]

I purchased the VR2 this week, and was really excited. I got it all set up, and dove straight into Horizon Call of the Mountain. The boat ride was amazing, but then what. It had me swing my arms up and down to move, but it didn't go where I looked. I saw in another video they used the left stick to move. Anyway, I guess I picked a different comfort level in the beginning, but I'd rather use the stick than simulate walking by swinging my arms up, and down. I wish there had been some introduction to all this like you mentioned. I feel like I'm sort of own my on through trial, and error, and watching videos to learn. I love the VR2 so far, but the introduction to it is really lacking.

[@TriMuXx]

Gave it a thumbs up! @VRO I miss the many videos you used to put out, but I can completely understand that you probably either have things going on in your personal life or are super busy with other content you are making for us. Regardless, I love the videos you make so keep up the great work! Thanks for this one! Had no idea about this for PSVR2 (I'm a Quest 2 owner) but it's good to know so I can share with my PS5 friends that get into VR for the first time.

[@VirtualRealityOasis]

Thank you mate! I really appreciate the comment. The uploads have slowed but I’m still very much deep in VR. I’m currently self-funding a VR mod of an awesome PC shooter and in January I co-founded a company to help VR developers called XR Game Labs. When things start to heat up again I’ll be back uploading regularly. Cheers []-)

[@TheGreenBear]

You are completely spot on on all points. I thought that Valve's 'The Lab' did a really great job with its small events and fun atmosphere. They did the same with the Hand Lab for the Index and then again with the Desk Job for the Steam Deck. These are all big items and and onboarding experience is a fantastic idea. I felt very excited for my deck, but overwhelmed when I actually first played with it. The Lab and Desk Job were very VERY helpful. Hell, they are both fun enough that Ive gone back to them on occasion just for the fun of the experience.

[@TheJooshIsLoose]

They definitely need to come up with an introductory experience and in some way maybe mention to users that VR motion sickness does get better in time and to start with comfortable experiences first

[@sammartensson7617]

This was my first VR experience and I didn’t have any problem at all with motion sickness or other problems

[@Drigonil]

My experience with the PSVR2 couldn't be more different. I preordered it and jumped straight into Call of the mountain and even though it was a cool experience i wasn't quite convinced of the headset. This sadly persists till today. I've played a lot from Skyrin to Half Life: Alyx and many many others. I never had any issue with any type of motion (running in circles, circled staircases, flying in Zenith or riding horses) but my first nausiating experience was actually Kajak VR on the PSVR2.

[@jerronimo3000]

It's so hard for me to think of experiencing VR as a newcomer. Even when I was new, I thought the technology was so cool that I was willing to spend the time to develop my VR legs and do research on how to do that. I didn't have to be convinced to use VR, I was doing anything I could to put together a semi-useable system with my gear VR and crappy laptop. I guess if I had a bad experience scuba diving the first time, maybe that would be comparable, idk.

[@mickelston7512]

As a comparison to the first ps vr. What is it like? I couldnt get into the first vr due to the whole screen door effect. Tryin to play skyrim but hard to see things in the distance. Shockin. And ive never used any other vr's before so no idea

[@robbieburns3564]

Of note on newcomers too (I forgot about this as did Mike) - not only did Sony not have a demo assortment like they did with their PSVR1 - when they launched the PSVR1 they had VR Playroom which was a free collection of VR mini games using the Astrobot universe. Even some really creative ones with couch and VR multiplayer at the same time. Why they didn't have VR Playroom 2 for the PSVR2 is really really puzzling.

I have PSVR 2, it took some time to get use of the motion sickness, but in 15 days it was gone. I found the worst thing about PSVR 2 is the sweet spot of the lenses. Its SO SHORT. Wish they could improve a little more the "blur" and the visibility of the image. But it is an awesome component for PS5 owners.

[@GamerJP30]

I've had problems with motion sickness long before I first got into VR with the Quest 1. Ive always gotten sick whenever ive sat in the back seat of a car and whenever I ride an amusement park ride that spins a lot like the classic tea cups for example. Thankfully I usually dont get that sick in VR unless I'm playing a Racing Game.

[@samslenderman]

I completely agree with everything you're saying, Mike, and your assessment is likely accurate; They need to incorporate better experiences and introductions for VR newcomers to avoid turning people off from VR and stagnating its evolution. That said.. I do have my VR Legs from the years of experience, and I LOVE my PSVR 2, just need more 1st Party Sony titles. It's funny hoe Capcom seems to support the headset more than Sony!

[@GreyMatterShades]

Sony is paying Capcom to port their games to VR, just like they did with Resident Evil 7 on PSVR 1. It's weird that they're not making a bigger deal about it though. And I totally agree that the headset needs more Sony first party titles, both hybrids like GT7 and spinoffs like Horizon Call of the Mountain.

[@samslenderman]

@@GreyMatterShades Yeah, they're definitely getting paid for all their VR support, it just always seems like Capcom is putting the most energy and polish into PSVR content than Sony in-house devs.. I agree, I would love to see another Astrobot Rescue Mission, maybe a Spider-Man or GoW VR spinoff, Uncharted, or even just some new IP's from those devs made specifically for PSVR 2

[@GreyMatterShades]

@@samslenderman Totally agree. Capcom still deserves a lot of credit, because even though Sony is putting in the money, Capcom is putting in the time and effort. I don't really think we'll see any new IP from Sony on PSVR 2, unless maybe there's a sequel to VR Worlds, and one of the demos spawns a full game like how London Heist became Blood and Truth. But I could see them doing more hybrids and spinoffs. All the ones you mentioned would be great, as would Ghost of Tsushima.

They did a wonderful job strictly in terms of it being a Duel sense feature showcase in regards to it's haptics, adaptive triggers and gyro, but other than that i just didn't find it anywhere near as enjoyable or impressive as Rescue mission on VR1. They need to port over the latter, stat. 2000x2040 per eye, 110d FOV, 90fps(Wishful thinking) and with Sense controller support.

You're absolutely right. Although I've never had a VR unit before, I'm a seasoned gamer and jumpstarted straight to the PSVR2 experience. Even so, had moderate motion sickness the first couple days and really considered returning the equipment. For my relief, the third day was smooth and, since then, I've played it for hours without a hindrance. It's important to mention that I did some research in order to do so, deciding to set the brightness to a minimum to mitigate the ghosting effect. So, for the average consumer, a guided experience is paramount, and Sony fumbled the ball. The PSVR2 is GREAT, but the experience lacks guidance for sure.

Thanks for sharing your experience mate []-)

Brilliant vodeo for any new comer to PSVR2, VR veterans and new comers need to understand the PSVR2... i believe this should always be displayed each time you put the HMD on, too many complain about it being blurry. Simple fix for that. (CANT POST PIC SORRY) Push the PlayStation button on one of your controllers to bring up the PSVR2 Activity Card, and select the Adjust Visibility option. This will instruct you to use the wheel on the top of your headset to align your lenses and helps with focus 🤘

[@scelestus999]

Spot on. My first experience with VR was WMR, and they had Cortana give me the overview and pushed me towards a free, stand-still Halo VR experience that was target practice against a simulation of the covenant. I then went to Superhot VR, which was a good game to get my legs with.

[@louissivo9660]

I don't have a PS or it's VR headset so I'm really surprised that there is nothing like what you describe to assist new players in. With my original Quest there were the intro apps and just its slow growth assisted me as each game took it up a notch.

[@shane.henderson]

I 100% agree with this. I jumped right into GT7 and was having a great time until I spun out and got instantly motion sick. So I put down and had to use it in small doses over about a week and stopped as soon as I felt any discomfort. It didn't take long to get over it and I'm glad I stuck with it but Sony should really have provided some kind of VR-101 for new VR players like myself.

[@terrsham5607]

Either put a fan near you while you play or suck on a boiled sweet. The fan trick worked wonders for me and I didn't need it after a few hours.

[@osc-oldschoolclips5204]

Yuh. When I play best saber I always turn the fan towards me and turn the ceiling fan on.

[@whitedragon101]

I love VR from DK1. I went to the conferences, travelled to try on demo headsets. But then sometime after CV1 there seemed to be a shift to just ignore comfort and use artificial locomotion for every game. Gone was teleport and other similar comfort options. I don’t really see anyone trying to work on the comfort issue any more. I can’t play any of the coolest looking games. They just want to sell to the subset who can play any game without getting sick. I don’t get any kind of motion sick in the real world. But VR definitely induces it. Hopefully somewhere behind the scenes (maybe at metas lab ) there is someone working on a solution.

[@Ace-vz6jg]

I just got your face padding for the quest 2 it's amazing it feels amazing!

[@VirtualRealityOasis]

Awesome to hear mate! []-)

[@GAMERTAGVR]

Fantastic video. We talk daily about this stuff. Hopefully now Sony see it

[@michaelbeauregard3296]

Brilliant analysis, PSVR2 is my first VR. I had the same reaction to Call of the mountain. The heights were very offputting. I was worried that I had wasted my money until I got RE Village. Now I'm playing NMS and Synapse, I love it.

[@rean.s8916]

I bought 2 weeks ago and it's my first vr headset ever I didn't have a problem with it but just a small motion sickness at first few days that is now gone

[@metalgamecatsolid-frits7828]

I totally agree👍 while I do not need this myself, playing PSVR for 5 years, these 3 suggestions would really open the platform to newcomers. Also, i am glad are being critical and constructive without burning PSVR2 /Sony

[@raro2315]

100% agree with your video. I had a PSVR 1 but sold it because I never got my legs: the issue was I jumped into moderate and intense games. It took me 1-3 hours to recover from migraines so that immediately was a deal breaker. Now PSVR2 is out I want a second shot! I need some more input on which games to begin with!

[@vladimirimp]

Completely agree. One more thing (correct me if this is already the case) - saved settings across games. If someone wants blinkers and teleport movement, fix that for all titles.

[@VirtualRealityOasis]

That’s a great suggestion mate []-)

[@Food4thought1234]

Kinda weird. PSVR2 fixed my vr sickness completely. I get sick in all of them eventually. But I think it’s the frame rate. Not sure why so many others still having issues.

[@Glerox]

Reprojection and image retention is also a huge problem at higher brightness levels… they should put a warning that increasing brightness can increase motion sickness

[@mohican161]

I never thought about this until I got my friend to have a go for his first time… he played GT7 and even that traumatized him he pulled off the headset quick going as far as saying he nearly had a heart attack… GT7?!?!! God knows how he would of handled Resident Evil! But yes if he was able to play something to warm him into VR he would of had a much better experience

[@iimzadi]

I literally returned my PSVR1 the day after I bought it because I got so sick. I’m so glad I went back a month later and bought it again. I’m now years in and this my 4th VR headset and favourite. You got give it to the Quest though they do a great beginners experience.

[@Calakapepe]

For myself (newcomer) and everyone afterwards Ive introduced to VR.. the best is pistol whip, synth riders, and drums rock

[@GreyMatterShades]

The Moss games, Puzzling Places, Thumper, and Tetris Effect Connected are also good for newcomers.

[@natet77787]

I couldn't agree with you more, especially the comfort rating system. I have my 'VR Legs', so I would probably disregard it, but it would help cut down on attrition of the VR community. Also, Sony needs to have demo kits in some big box stores (i.e. Best Buy, etc.), like they did with PSVR 1. I got my first taste of VR at a Best Buy right before the PSVR 1 launch and haven't looked back and am now hooked on VR. On a side note, I like your positive attitude with your videos and reviews. Thank you for your great contribution to the VR community, Mike! Much appreciated!

[@ChuckieV79]

Really good points and great video!

[@Gaming-Enthusiast]

Love the VR2 totally agree about having something like astros playroom in vr2

[@TheLegendaryVeteran]

The climbing in Horizon is fantastic! One of my favorite parts! As far as motion sickness, I run a fan oscillating to alleviate that problem, along with keeping cooler while moving so much. Can play for hours like that. I legit haven't had a better experience than CotM.

[@xeno3d133]

Couldn’t agree more. Although not a big deal for me personally since I’ve been in vr since 2016, Sony needs to do a lot of the things you mentioned here.

[@ghgdoido]

As a newbie in PS VR 2, I can say from experience that you're COMPLETELY right!

[@CornusXBL]

My main issue is that i completely forgot it came out let alone came out 4 months ago!

[@osc-oldschoolclips5204]

I have one and what irks me is how some of these projects drop and there’s little to no promotion. Some of em just pop up out of nowhere. Like wtf..

[@sebastiankurz3026]

Yes I agree. This first steps on Oculus Quest dancing robot was the first magic moment, slow introduction for newcomers is always a great start. Oculus/Meta did a great job here, It seems there is no caretaker at Sony for this.

[@simondando1097]

Good points but I had the impression REV did suggest options to reduce motion sickness.

[@ValeOverwatch]

I know this is 6 months old now, but you nailed it 1. I expected backwards compatibility, especially in a modern world like today. I was completely ruined when i found out all the games i loved on PSVR1 didnt work anymore 2. The lack of experiences, just as you said.. I would let my kids play those and always put them on for when family and friends came over 3. No KZbin VR anymore!?!? 4. Overall, the first time I bought it, I discovered almost no games in the store, ontop of no backward compatibility this really killed it for me.

[@obiwan3000]

It should also have its own UI

[@Mr360king22]

I was new to vr and I love this thing 🔥🔥🔥 trust me you'll figure it out I had slight motion sickness the first time I used it but u get use to it now I don't feel anything

[@the_trevinator_]

This is so true I did this with the 1st psvr

[@falkend1fox728]

Is it just me or does the Rverb G2 look a little clearer and sharper?

[@Konuvis]

I got the psvr2 a couple of months ago. Tried GT7 but got confused when the menus weren't in VR (I thought I hadn't set up my hardware correctly). So I tried the Star wars tftge because it had a demo. I used smooth motion and started feeling woozy and 15-20min so I stopped. I haven't played it since, mostly because games are all $30+ and very few have demos so it's hard to commit. I haven't given up yet of course but you're right that they could make it easier for newcomers.

[@paularnold5108]

I love my psvr 2 but you are correct . I want to show my non vr playing friends but its difficult to find an introduction game to get used to the vr world and controls . As people have said i thind an Astrobot vr would be the best way to get new people to play and learn how to navigate a vr environment

[@brettwalsh2847]

As a newcomer, This reason is literally preventing me from getting one. I had a PSVR and got super motion sick and never really picked it back up. That idea of a introduction would be super beneficial. It seems that many sets have shown up on marketplace because of MS and most don’t realize it’s a thing til you get one. I want to love it and get into this world, but it definitely doesn’t love me and I don’t have the energy to push thru the MS experience.Great video

[@newworldfuckery7848]

I feel like it is also in need of a vr home screen and vr menu system

[@clintonfreudenstein3914]

I really like your suggestion to help new vr players understand how to use the VR gear.

[@D3ATH-W15H]

Moss & Moss 2 are a good starter point for newcomers as its a stationery VR game

[@VirtualRealityOasis]

Absolutely. I love those games. Is Quill the most adorable VR character of all time? I think so []-)

[@SalazarElefunk]

I think I have the game that would fix just that. I’d love to send you a build of the VR game we are working on. It is designed to build VR legs gradually. We have tested we newcomers with great results.

[@VirtualRealityOasis]

Sure! My email is in my about section mate []-)

[@angrybeaver6667]

I immediately went and checked facebook marketplace when you showed people selling them. Non available near me, but I will keep an eye out.

[@sidney1234usc]

They should also definitely have a virtual home instead of just the PS5 screen.

[@Nothingmuch1039]

Agreed, and I don't understand how it's not backwards compatible with VR1... I downloaded all the VR1 demos just to find out I can't play them... I jumped into Horizon lol still trying to finish it.

[@smithy1011]

I can’t remember the Spider PSVR game but omg walking sideways and shooting spiders jumping in the air while also turning was one of the worst experiences I had…..not to mention one of the first PSVR car games when you couldn’t see the corners ahead till the last second and me and my friend were nauseous the whole day 🤮

[@CaptJABRONIE]

Those "tech demo" games that are shorter and require very minimal interactivity end up being my most replayed games in VR. You just can't throw someone new into a Half Life Alyx or even a Pistol Whip. Not unless you want them to have a bad time. There were also imediately games to play with the other people on your couch. Those Astro mini games were fun. And it justified a larger purchase because it could be used together with your partner or kids. Something like that would make it way easier to justify such a big purchase on top of already having paid for a PS5.
