Best PSVR Games We Want Upgraded for PSVR2

Beat Saber
IronMan
Skyrim VR
Star Wars Squadrons
Batman Arkham VR
Resident Evil 7

I love the PsVR2 but I would really enjoy it more with some port upgrades. And hopefully more studios will follow Capcom in adding a VR mode for FPS games. I'd do bad things for Alien: Isolation or the Metro series in VR.

I wish I had a way to try VR. I'm scared to spend the money not knowing if it's going to make me sick and then I have an expensive paperweight.

I had the original PsVR at launch but I sold it a few months later, but I do remember some dinosaur game that was coming out for it that looked pretty cool so I hope that will be made playable on the PSVR2 for when I get one.

I’d like to add,

Wipeout Omega Collection
Hitman 3
Star Wars Squadrons
Ace Combat 7
Borderlands 2
Everybody’s Golf VR
Sports Bar VR

@Splat you should maybe try picking up the original PsVR second hand to see if you like the concept, you can usually find them for less than £150, there's some on ebay for less than £100 (UK).

I unironically think Minecraft is the least likely to happen out of this list. PSVR2 version would require a native PS5 version, and Mojang hasn't even gotten a Series X version out yet. Their owners are unable to make them port the game to their console, a console which is almost 30 months old at this point. How is PSVR2 version ever gonna happen?

I‘d love to see a similar article „Flat PS4/PS5 games we want a PSVR2 mode for“. They should have relative slow camera movement and 360 degrees of scenery (which Sackboy hasn’t). Witcher 3 could fit, Control, as well as Monster Hunter World and Rise, and of cause Bloodborne.

we need that Hitman 3 VR mode

Wipeout Omega Collection missing from this list?!

Surely that's a mistake of some sort.

Krysus has the right list, sorry for the redundancy but here is mine:

Iron Man
Star Wars Squadrons
The Persistence
Astro Bot
Paper Beast
Alien Isolation (was it psvr to begin with?)
The Witness
Farpoint
Wipeout
Blood and Truth
Hitman 3
Everybody's Golf

Please and thank you!

I had the original PSVR without playing it a lot, and gave it to my nephews. I didn't like the level of graphics. I feel like PSVR2 finally is at the level where I am "okay" with the graphics and can be swept away at times.

I think the strategy at this point is to get new and old titles on the system slowly but surely. The rate at which an average gamer is able to complete a game is too slow for SONY to flood a market. The demand is there, I hope, and the rate of PSVR2 adoption is hopefully accelerated by a strong focus on delivering new+ports over time coupled with the already amazing line-up of 40-50 titles including the banger WD: S&S, RE8, GT7 (I also own Thumber, and I think this is it).

@Splat if you ever get the chance to try it, I hope it's the right game for you. There are some that immediately give me motion sickness, whereas other ones are simply a joy to play. I always suggest games like Beat Saber (or Pistol Whip) for a start. I don't know anyone who has any problems playing them. Gran Turismo on PSVR1 on the other hand was horrible, according to some friends who immediately got a migraine.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, the experience varies not only from one user to another but from game to game.

Arca's path is an odd choice. Maybe I did not give this title the attention it deserved.

Also missing:

• here they lie
• resident evil 7
• fracked + some skiing challenges
• red matter
• the room vr
• sprint vector
• vader immortal (in particular the dojo of the first one)

Though from this list I presumably only would replay here they lie, since the resolution was quite poor on ps4. But I guess it would require quite some work to increase the resolution of all the textures.

But I have to admit that I would be even more interested in VR versions of some ps4/ps5 games, since I rarely replay games.

@Simon_Fitzgerald Had to watch a trailer to make sure but yep that's the one, hopefully that game gets a PSVR2 patch.

@Splat
If it makes you feel more confident, I had motion sickness on PSVR1, and had fully expected to have to work through sickness on VR2, but actually I’ve had zero motion sickness. Might be because I’m a bit more experienced and always use snap turning but definitely no problems with sickness, even with full locomotion and no vignettes.

Headmaster was a real hidden gem of the 1sr PSVR headset.

I remember playing it on a hot day with the fan on blowing cool air at me.

I was genuinely emersed into it with the cool air making me feel like I was outside on a football pitch

Wipeout,transpose,the persistence and wanderer.....four classics two of which most people haven't played

No love for I Expect You to Die and it's sequel?

The Room VR would really sweet!

I would add Serento, Deracine (haven’t played it yet [though I done it] but it’s a From game, enough said, pushing that as an exclusive would be a good after their rep has only increased), SW: Squadrons, the Chronos games/VNs, Resi 7, Detached, Hitman 3 (how is this not on there already?), and Spice & Wolf VR.

@Simon_Fitzgerald That game really blew me away. I’m surprised it didn’t make more of a splash as it remains one of my favorite PSVR games.

Astrobot, polybius, Farpoint, VR worlds that sharks cage demo blew my mind. Love something like that but a full blow under water adventure. Would look even more amazing with PSVR 2 fidelity. Oh and Starchild remember that!!

@gaston Red Matter 2 is coming soon at least

Yes to all of this. Especially Astro Bot rescue mission and batman. Also maybe iron man vr. Wasn't that supposed to be good?
I never had the original headset so need me these ports!

Astro 100%. Part of me now is kind hoping they're not working on a VR sequel. I'm concerned it'll be another masterpiece no one will play and Asobi will get shut down. Hoping it's a full fledged ps5 game and they get the audience they deserve.

@Jaz007 Deracine good call.

Ace Combat
Star wars squadrons
RE7 (although I chickened out after 20 minutes)
Superhot
Wipeout

Hoping Ace Combat 8 when it arrives is full VR this time, AC7 vr missions were spectacular.

I don't think it's going to happen but they need to upgrade star wars squadrons for PSVR2. Would be the biggest win

@Futureshark I also only played maybe the first hour of re7 before I chickened out. But, recently I finished it. And one has to say, that it is one of the best psvr games despite it shortcomings (ds4 only). Same with Re8 on psvr2 (I haven't finished it yet, so I only have a very limited idea of the game. But one section was so awesome that I immediately replayed it a few times). One should not finish games one does not enjoym but re7 (and re8) are really good vr games. There are few of similar production value.

@maybemaybemaybe Yes, that was very good news. I don't know whether red matter 1 and 2 are linked in any way (presumably not in a meaningful way). But it is still a shame if new people directly start with red matter 2 or skip it entirely because they haven't played the first one.

I do wish Sony would confirm whether Asobi are working on Astro 2 in VR or just a pancake flat game. Heck we dont even know what they're working on at all. Could be Knack 3

Totally agree with the sentiment of this article but some of the listed games seem a bit random - arca’s path??? Really??? And I personally thought The Lost Bear was rubbish (despite getting it half price)!

As others have said, some rather obvious gaps in this list - farpoint, hitman 3, iron man and Star Wars squadrons to name the stand out ones

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, as much as I would love an Astro Bot Rescue Mission PSVR 2 upgrade I just don’t see it happening. That game pretty much requires the DualShock 4 controller as the light bar tracking was utilized in a way that I just don’t believe could be well replicated using the ps5 controllers accelerometer. At best we could see a new Astro Bot game on PSVR 2

@Splat Well if you really get in the DIY spirit:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-V_deV-xreg&ab_channel=R.U.H.

Many of the games I see people suggesting, I've played on multiple VR systems already. Which kind of says something about the issue with VR.

That said, due to its almost unlimited replay-ability, I think Skyrim is an essential conversion and worth signing a blank cheque for a developer to convert it for them.

Rather that, than playing Beat Saber AGAIN, or Super Hot AGAIN. I think I'm done with those now.

Granted there may be people who never played those titles. But I think that ignores the fact that most people dropping $600 on a PS VR2, are VR enthusiasts who I'd guarantee have played those titles already.

I suspect it will be many years before PS VR2 becomes "Johnny's first VR headset".

Only other title would be Blood and Truth, as I suspect many of us had ditched our PSVR's by the time that released.

Fair choices. I myself want Red Steel 2 in VR. come on Ubisoft. Or Coded Arms come on Konami.

@Splat ive just sold my VR2 for that reason mainly. The majority of games i felt fine playing. GT7, drums rock, air guitar, Pistol whip, moss but others i could only do 10 minutes on, even with motion sickness settings adjusted like Walking dead and Kayak. Good bit of kit but as i game in my living room with my family around it just doesnt suit my social gaming style.

#1: Playroom VR. My kids absolutely loved this on PSVR1. It was a free download, but was perfect for groups of kids playing multiplayer on a single system.

#2: Persistence. There is a PS5 remaster, but no PVR2 remaster/port. IMO, this was better than Firesprite's newer Call of the Mountain.

Also: Most of the picks on the list weren't good enough to justify a port/remaster/sequel. Battlezone? I doubt large numbers of players really played that for more than a few hours.

@SirRealDeal Yes Wipeout should be on this list. Wipeout would be a better choice than almost all the games on this list.

@Splat I was in the same boat as you, as I'm super prone to motion sickness. To give you an idea, I downright don't play first-person-shooters as I get nauseated withing minutes of playing them. Any of them. Heck, sometimes I can barely sustain sessions of games in third person. It's that bad.

But I've always had a massive interest in VR and, with PSVR2, I decided to take the plunge. And I couldn't be happier. Yes, some games are a no go for now, especially ones that involve acceleration.

But I have no issues with games that are either stationary or have constant movement, such as Moss, Tetris, Thumper, Pistol Whip, Job Simulator, Puzzling Places, C-Smash, Drums Rock (the most fun I've had with a game in years) and many others.

I'm still trying to build my "VR legs" so I can graduate to games that have full locomotion. I've tried Horizon and RE8 and, even if I can't play them for very long yet, I can definitely feel improvement day after day. My final goal is GT7, but I'll take my sweet time as it will be totally worth it.
