PS Camera Adaptor for PS5 Included with New Japanese PSVR Bundles

I've recently got an Oculus Quest 2 and sold my PSVR. Was planning to keep for using with the PS5 hoping for better graphics but the tracking and resolution is not so good... Coming back with PSVR2. Anyway is a good VR solution.

Cool, just let me know how to get my free one please. Ideally by release day.

I get regular VR emails from Sony but I've received zero communication regarding playing VR on PS5, lazy

Oof, how much is this going to cost me? 😬

Im keen to get this ordered and sorted

@Wormold
Please no emails, Sony just don’t seem to know mine exists!

Yep, they need to let us know how to get the adaptor, waiting until we get our PS5 isn’t ideal. Where I live, unless it’s couriered to me, I won’t get it for ages.

How about Astro Bot 2?

I'd love to play more PSVR, but so many games either require the incredibly elusive Move controllers, or the pointer, both are expensive and hard to find. I really hope PSVR 2 comes with solid controllers out of the box that don't require any other peripherals.

Is VR even a thing still? I thought it was like a complete failure...

They should just ship it with the ps5

@SoulCal4lyfe
No, it’s not mainstream, but there are millions of users so the market is stable. As more people see how superior VR is in certain genres (platformers, racing, flight, horror, etc) it will grow more. Especially once it’s less dorky looking so the insecure can play without feeling, well, dorky.

@thefourfoldroot
Yeah I kinda wanna know too, being a day one PSVR supporter (and will inevitable be a day onr PSVR2 supporter when it happens)
It better not be something ridiculous like receipt.......(mine long been binned lol)
Hopefully it will work off trophies or something

Rather than go through the trouble of hooking up all this old equipment to the PS5, then fitting an adapter to the camera while still needing to use those stupid PS3 wands, I'd rather just hold out for the new headset. But that's just me.

@Burntbreadman
Well, given they are free snd not useful for anything else, it’s not like they’ll have a value for scalpers. So just email in and pay postage should be enough without any proof at all I think...

@Wormold be nice if sony just emailed everyone anyway for future reference if anyone decided to buy one to.

I’ll bet you’ll have to provide proof of psvr purchase to get it

@Octane Is Astrobot 2 the new Knack 3? 😁

@thefourfoldroot Exactly. I'm still an avid PSVR user, games with an optional VR mode are often way more enjoyable then the flat counterpart for me. It's a huge dissapointment to play stuff like RE7, No Man's Sky or Wipeout Omega on a tv set again. Hell, as far as i'm concerned almost everything is more immersive, impressive and exciting in VR. It's definitely not for everyone, it has it's own hurdles and growing pains still, but i see it as the only way forward in the evolution of computergames. Flat gaming is running out if ideas fast if u ask me..

... we'll all need it ready for RE Village!

@thefourfoldroot
Same. Everytime people made a post about some psn discount promotion, ive never gotten one in the email that were supposedly given out. Ive been subscribed to newsletters and promotions for 15+ years but it always seems to skip my email for the good stuff.

Psvr has too many wires and my room isnt big enough to not look like a mess. I hear oculus quest is wireless... why cant sony make that for psvr 2? Id totally jump on that if it had no wires mess and better 360 tracking with controllers like htc vive. The move controllers are really bad.

@BansheeNorn
Indeed the move controllers are bad. As the new camera cannot be used with the existing PSVR2, and the controller has no light to track, I’m presuming the v2 will have inside out tracking, which is generally more accurate than a single external camera.

And Sony could make a more expensive headset that doesn’t need to be connected to the ps5, but it would be far less powerful as a result, as well as more expensive. I don’t think they’d go that way.

I never had a problem with having one wire from console to headset, but then I have been playing games since long before wireless controllers where a thing, so I’m used to it.

@BansheeNorn If you set everything up so your VR processor unit is by the PS4 console, you literally have just one wire to 'deal' with. It's extremely practical and pretty tidy. I just assumed that was what everyone did, but that's how I do it.

@thefourfoldroot Good point, I didn't think of that. People have grown up in the age of no wires, such that even for some, to use a charging cable for a phone is some kind of horror. It then follows, that some people might have a problem even with the single wire that comes from the processor unit to the headset. Funny the things we take for granted! Maybe the Playstation design team should have made all the wires that connect to the console extremely short, so that it was obvious (and only possibly) to place the processor unit next to the console, the benefit being that the set up looks like it uses less wires for the modern generation (or those who have difficulty with simple 'problem solving'). It all comes down to marketing after all, and the best solutions literally need to be "fool-proof".

@Octane What did you mean by pointer, other than the Moves you mentioned? Many games use the DS4, personally I prefer that method (it was excellent for Skyrim, RE7, Wipeout etc), but you're right the Move Controllers need an update. Thankfully, about 90 percent of games don't require them though, and the spatial tracking with the DS4 is the same.

@JayShaw The gun controller used for Farpoint and a couple of other games.

Yeah, too bad games like Skyrim use teleportation. I really hate that, I'd rather have direct movement.

@Octane FYI, there are options for direct movement with the move controllers (you can press the Move button go forwards and tilt the wands to turn, or just use the Move button to go forwards and use the other buttons to turn left/right). You can also have full directional control with the DS4 analogue sticks (my preferred option). It's so much better than teleportation.
