Star Wars: Tales From the Galaxy's Edge - Enhanced Edition | PSVR2 REVIEW

[@geordiebrit1461]

You're tearing through these reviews, Bryan. We know this isn't easy, but you make it look like it is. That's your skill, and why this will always be the go-to channel for PSVR2. Thanks so much. And yes, you've twisted my arm on this game. : )

Now we just need a Star Wars: Squadrons Enhanced Edition.

[@kringekevthegamekat]

I had a very difficult time getting used to flying. You have to admit it was boardline playable. Low Rez backgrounds

[@McFodder]

@@kringekevthegamekat Playing it on PSVR1 on PS5 was a night and day difference, even compared to playing it on PS4 Pro. Would love a PSVR2 port.

[@steveschannel4190]

you are the most reliable source for reviews Brian keep it up❤

[@kevauk915]

I loved playing this game… just hoping that Star Wars Squadrons comes to PSVR2 as well. The only downer for me with this game is that they tease the area you can visit “for real” in Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida but you can’t walk around that area.

[@BradouttaHell]

Having finished Horizon, Village and getting well into GT7, I've been wanting the next big launch title to tackle and it sounds like this is it. I'm having so much more fun than I ever had on PSVR. The games just keep delivering. Has Separation been mentioned as an upgrade at all?

[@antony9384]

I’ve got my psvr 2 coming on Tuesday. Is it a massive upgrade from the 1st?

[@blackishjustin]

1:53 - Rebel Assault II reference FTW. This was the very first game I bought for my PS1 way back when. 👍🏿

[@roadiethegamecat4124]

If I remember right the original Quest2 version had no free locomotion, the game was designed for teleportation and they added the free walk after getting beat up over the teleportation only hence the weird no jump, no climbing ascetic.. Great review!

[@heavybrett-al4082]

I had soooo much fun with this game. All my childhood dreams came true.10/10 in my book.

[@rottieman]

When I hear almost every person say 'I'll pick it up in a sale' it concerns me that devs will do the same this vr gen as last and therell be no AA-AAA games being made after a while as no one seems willing to pay full price for anything?

[@cineMADvocate]

They stopped making AAA games on the last VR gen because they started making them for this generation…

[@LeonSKennedy7777]

Excellent review video, Bryan 👏. The demo of this game was the first thing I played on PSVR2, so I had my “Bryan playing GT7 in VR for the first time” with Star Wars, lol. It’ll hold a special place in my memory. I’ll definitely pick this up when it goes on sale! I believe it’s still the most expensive VR title (other than GT7, although you can find cheap physical copies of that).

[@BartCunningham]

I am not a big Star Wars fan but I played the demo and was surprised at how good it was. I definitely learned a lot watching this review as there are many things not explained at all in the demo and I did not figure them out. I will probably wait for a sale but this is going on my list!

[@natecharleston64]

I agree! N that price is alil steep!! I'm waiting also👍

[@1lifeonearth]

[@izzard]

The quality of the social screen output is so good now! I feel like, with PS VR1 reviews, you always had to qualify the footage to explain the tight crop and low quality. I don't even think that's necessary anymore.

[@Calakapepe]

this makes sense after I get the demo I decided I definitely want to buy it... But not for the price that it currently has.. so I put it on my wish list and I'll wait for a discount hopefully soon

[@Superhermit]

I love the more detailed breakdown at the end, especially recommended sale price

[@MarkPoppinPringlesleaf]

Another great review Bryan. I've had my eye on this being a huge Star Wars fan. I will be adding this one to my collection now. Keep up the awesome work and look forward to seeing more of your reviews

[@chtsv]

I rarely finish games, but most of the time get bored and stop playing almost before the main part of the game starts. (Including call of the mountain and resident evil to the PSVR2) This game, I finished in a few days and got bummed when it ended so quickly.

[@sanctanox]

I loved the demo and have it on my wish list. It's just a little bit too expensive. I hope for a sale but might get it even for the full price soon. Great review.

[@GatoFrijolero]

Hi how did you get th ehead set view so clear and sharp, ive done everything there is said on KZbin but picture is still blurry with the head set. Thanks

[@WithoutParole]

Check your eyes. I don't wear glasses irl but a VERY small prescription can make a world of difference. My VR Lenses make everything crystal clear

[@JoshCzoski]

Thanks for your review! :) And wow, that's quite a recommendation from a credible source! And, it's good to think you're enjoying yourself amidst this workload you have on your hands, including this pleasant surprise. I got more games than I can get around to (even PSVR2) for a while, so I'll still probably catch this when it goes on sale anyway. This is the only game involving shooting on PSVR2 that I don't have (I think) and I'm a *SUCKER* for a shooter in VR, so I'll be excited to check this out when I can.

[@deadringer28]

Great Review. I am sure that a lot of people will decide on the game based on your review. I have played through the quest version, including all DLC, and the demo for PSVR2 so that is enough for me for now. Maybe at around $25, I would pick it up again to play the full PSVR2 version or if they add another piece of DLC.

[@dankfarrik8376]

Great, definitely will pick this one up sometime on a sale. I don't really hear anyone talking about it but i feel one of the big games we are missing on PSVR2 is Star Wars Squadrons. I don't think there are plans for an upgrade (yet) am i right? Real shame....

[@ESPIONAGE09]

This is on sale in the store (uk) for 12 quid (15 usd) worth the money? Some people are saying about the shooting being weak?...

[@Andrea-mo7be]

I have the same doubt

[@WithoutParole]

definitely worth the money, i loved the shooting (nvm, just realized you already have my opinion since you left this comment on my review lol)

[@AJGarciafilms]

Shout out to the ones left behind on psvr 1 myself included. One day when the ps5 and psvr2 are half price and all games are 15 dollars, that will be our day. They who laugh last laugh the hardest

[@lesserlogic9977]

I'm really starting to want to play this, as I get deeper into the catalog

[@Sensei1986]

When you start the game and the bartender talks, the letters are readable, but it seems like they are smudged a bit, do you guys have that too? Or when you click record, it's a bit blurry if you've recorded a clip (the time is very difficult to read), for the rest there is no blur and the screen looks amazing

[@ppapiurek]

I wasn't expecting much from this game, but it is great. Especially the image clarity is impressive. To be honest I would prefer other PSVR 2 games to go similar route - simpler geometry and effects, but higher resolution. I can't stand low res in VR. NMS on PSVR 2 was a big let down for me in this regard.

[@3adir_]

No mans sky is low res because it's not using foveated rendering. Nms is a rushed low effort port

[@zwenkwiel816]

@@3adir_ they might improve though, no man's sky VR on PC was really shit at first too but now it's pretty ok (still a boring game though XD)

[@MsUltraBob]

I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed the demo. If it gets on sale I will definitely get it.

[@slinksugar7409]

This an excellent implementation of Star Wars for vr. Even though the ai is really not that good. There are moments when gun fighting can be challenging or requires a well placed blaster shot or thrown detonator. There just a lot of options on how to approach an encounter. What really sets this game a part for me is the wonderful humor and Banter you’d expect from a well told and genuinely fun SW experience. It perfectly balances that light with the dark aspects of the SW universe and Lore. And gives you some wonderful voice acting, great narration and some surprise guests appear. Just makes the. Game every Star Wars fans dream come true. I love the crisp look and feel of the gear, your hand has untility from health kits to holographic projections from quest givers. The details are crisp and gorgeous up close. There some things that bug. Like some texture maps are just not great. Like printed leaves on the ground. When it’s soo obvious that it’s a print. I wish there was more emersive and realist fauna when your moving through the terrain. Seems like a non sequitur. But little details like that in VR create greater emersion. Small gripes. But worth it? Resounding hell yes!!

[@DoomiePookie]

Great review!! I need to check this one out.

[@ybazzoun313]

Bryan I have an issue man, I’m at the C3PO mission but the game glitches and I can’t pass the first door (w the red button) any help?

[@Erlaxis]

I tried this game very recently and just could not get into it. It does not feel good to shoot in this game, for some reason. Didn't like that the weapons had both limited ammo on top of overheating. I saw there were some upgrades to mitigate this, but I didn't even reach the point where I could pay for the upgrades. I don't know, I just feel like I lost my patience with the game, since I was expecting more from it.

[@John-fs8be]

The clear image on PSVR2 really stands out for this game 🤩

[@davidcbeaudoin]

The demo was cool, though I felt like it didn't explain some things. I saw icons on items in the environments that I had no clue what they meant or what I needed to interact with them. Maybe it's stuff that you only get access to the deeper you get (the demo ends quick). I'll probably grab it on sale at some point down the line.

[@WithoutParole]

Probably icons for the different modes of your multitool, which is holstered below your inventory.

[@itycagameplays]

Man, I'm almost pulling the trigger and buying a PSVR2. It looks awesome.

[@joshuamejia9642]

Do it! I just did lol

[@floempiecat]

Great review! I tried the demo and I enjoyed it a lot. Just wish the teleportation thing wasn't as clunky / necessary. Will probably get this one when the physical version releases!

[@cineMADvocate]

What's clunky about it you literally pull down on the joystick… oh and by the way the amount of times you need to use it in the game is minimal compared to the way you guys are bitching about it as if the entire game is teleportation. But please you guys should all go off about how it's immersion breaking compared to pressing a button that makes you "jump"…

[@Th3WindFish_]

They need to make a proper clones wars multiplayer VR game (kind of like battlefront 2) where we play as clones in a squad flying in on gunships, riding on AT-RT, piloting tanks, and occasionally jumping in the shoes of a Jedi. So basically battlefront 2 in VR but more fleshed out specifically for clone wars

[@KravenMoorhed]

I wish with you could have presets for brightness, rather than having to go to settings and adjust it

Read some of the comments here - they all seem to agree that the PSVR2 version is a massive step up! :D

[@MrGamecatCanaveral]

just passing by cause of the discount right now. lol. might have to pick it up now.

[@cusman]

Great review. Completely agree that they should add jump and non-teleporting jetpacks in whatever Star Wars game is made next. Games like Song in the Smoke: Rekindled and Pavlov Predator Mode demonstrate that once the VR headset framerates are sufficiently increased (like on PSVR2), you can let players do real-time jumping around in VR and it won't necessarily make players uncomfortable or sick similar to how even walking / turning could induce that when the VR headset framerates were too low (like on OG PSVR). This is the same realization that James Cameron made in his research into making Avatar movies 3D. He & team developed the technology to film at higher framerates and then those movies are shown in theaters at higher framerates, and that directly contributes to audiences finding the 3D used in Avatar movies more comfortable and immersive than other 3D movies especially before and in many cases even since because most other movies continue to shoot at lower / traditional 24 frames.

[@twitcherthesingleplayergamecat]

This is great news. I too had extremely low expectations for this game, but I downloaded the free demo because why not? I was really impressed with the visuals and the gameplay. Delighted to hear that your experience with the full game was really positive, and I will definitely be buying this ... the moment it goes on sale for at least 25% off, lol.

[@olddarth6385]

The Force is with this review.

[@metalgamecatsolid-frits7828]

Nice review, Bryan. Good to hear that the game is better than thought beforehand, both in length and gameplay wise. However, I did play the demo and that felt pretty janky and was poor in explaining things... So is the difference with the real game that much?

[@brandonmclean58]

the movement is janky, your movement seems to be based on not only your analog inputs, but also on the way your holding the controller for some bizarre reason, so you have 2 inputs doing battle with each other unless your holding your controllers a certain way. I am very confused why they designed it this way

[@cineMADvocate]

I have no idea what the fuck Brandon is talking about

[@jrockmedia5866]

I really do hope we eventually get a full fledged Star Wars VR game in which we play as a force user, wielding lightsabers. I also would love to see a Spiderman VR game. And for the life of me I don't know why Batman Arkham Shadow will be exclusive to the Meta Quest. There is still untapped potential with VR in terms of Stories and Concepts.

[@brandonmclean58]

Im enjoying the game but Im really confused about the way they made they designed the movement, it seems like it is based on not only your analog inputs, but also the way you hold the controller, its like a hybrid of the move and sense controllers, not quite the hybrid I was hoping for. I cant understand why they designed it this way. If you are holding your controllers up it doesn't seem to be so bad, but I dont want to hold my hands up the whole time, plus you have to grab stuff off your belt or whatever in combat which will cause you to move erratically.

[@WithoutParole]

Hey Brandon, check your settings. I can't remember which one I changed (they're always named the dumbest things) but one of them did the trick! :D

I'd be interested to see Vader Immortal on PSVR 2

[@MarkArnoldMusic]

I'm hoping more games implement touch grip for the controllers rather than hold grip. I don't think star wars does, but RE:Village does. I find the grip buttons feel a bit too much like you're holding in buttons to grip, but they have capacitors in the button so touch grip makes way more sense imo.

[@Panos_GRE]

You can select to toggle the grip instead if holding the buttons in the options.

[@maegikthegamecat]

Great review Bryan, as always! As a Star Wars fan i just might have to pull the haptic trigger on this one.

[@duanepureheart5954]

I played the demo and now want the game even more after your review.

[@PatrickMartinez1]

Any word on squadrons coming to vr2? I miss it.

[@muppetjoe870]

Same here. This game surprised me and is a pretty damn good time

[@ampinghard111]

I was 100000% sure $50 was a rip off after playing it on quest2 and QuestPro, but after playing the demo I realized just how much the improved haptics, FOV, and visuals enhance the experience. I’m absolutely loving it and it makes me wish even more that they went with a permanent weapon inventory like all the best FPS games and allow us to upgrade each of them with unique improvements instead of forcing u to keep swapping out with enemy dropped blasters as they run dry and having the few weapon upgrades available apply to all blasters you pick up. Even once you upgrade to the belt that refills weapons, the blasters still feel like they were just picked up off the ground and you could just get another 1 around the corner. In a game like this it would have been so fun to gradually find new unique blasters throughout our journey that work and feel very different in different situations. There were pretty much 3 different kinds of blasters, pistol, auto-rifle, and shotgun with 2 nearly identical variations of everything but the shotgun having 1. Making them not only disposable and removing that connection you have with your weapons was a massive misstep and would’ve made the game truly special, ESPECIALLY with how incredible it feels to shoot these things! I also hope SWGE and every other PSVR2 shooter updates to use the RE8 touch sensor grip. It was so nice to be able to stop pressing the grip button but maintain the grip by keeping your finger on the button. The sticky grip is okay until you have to throw something like a grenade…

[@darwinseyeball596]

I've been trying to save money. So after buying the headset...and new headphones...and a new wheel....and a new internet booster I was left with little money to buy any games. This is definitely going to be my next buy. If my wife asks, I will blame you. Also, thanks.

[@oursique]

Vader Immortal was sold as a VR series, so any comparison with a game is unfair.

[@ryhanon7]

Thank you. When people were saying Vader Immortal was better than this I thought I slipped into the twilight zone or something - I just don't understand how anyone can think that. The only thing about this game that I didnt enjoy were the weird teleportation areas you called out. They really should have had a jump/boost button and/or some basic climbing mechanics like Horizon.

[@MADMANinBLACK08]

Hitting it out of the park with these reviews Bryan, having played it on quest I wasn’t going to pick it up on PSVR 2, however curiosity got the better of me, and I’m glad it did I loved Vader immortal, but agree in many ways this is the better title of the two It always makes me chuckle when I hear the length if games being mentioned, as i always seem to take far longer to complete titles, than the expected time frame, guess thats the explorer in me, I examine every nook and cranny lol

[@basketcas3717]

Vader immortal would be better if it wasnt so short. The main reaspn i say thay was because of you're force powers and lightsaber battles. I dont see why there hasnt been a jedi vr game made yet for any vr system besides vader immortal. I heard you can unlock a short lighsaber part in this though

[@davidregan8152]

Thanks Bryan!! Can’t wait for your switchback and RE Village review

You got it! It's a term we coined and have been using ever since Shadow Legend VR - generally meaning that the developer took the time to make all the interactions in their game as interactive as possible.

Its a shame that teleport is still being used so much, when jump could get us there- but I suppose it’s a way to keep the player boxed into the tunnel they’ve to walk through- so the developers don’t have to create multiple scenarios of players jumping off cliffs to see if they can break the game!
