Two game minimum VR showcasing by Sony. Same as the last show and the show before. It’s pitiful, at the very least, get someone who can listen to people and try and get some ports of old PSVR1 games over.
I wouldn’t get too hyped for this just yet as Survivos work can and has been weak. Plus it’s multi platform so it might not receive the attention for the PSVR2 as it would for say the Quest 3.
They have stock to get rid of and this is a cheaper alternative for PC players to buy into VR for their systems. The system would be a success if it was priced around the levels that the first one was (£200). The current one should have been marked up as a pro version for the suckers like myself to buy for the extra visual clarity.
The whole thing has been managed appallingly but that’s Sony for you when they’re not fully behind something
I would have been upset about the console exclusivity but I watched some of the beta footage from the PC build and it doesn’t really interest me anymore. I really loved the race against time to build everything before the big storm arrives in the first one but that’s not in the new one from what I read. One of the hardest platinums to achieve in my opinion, gave up trying after months of trying
The game is quite punishing for new players and I can certainly understand why some can’t click with the game. I play it daily, I enjoy the game but I can understand why my friend doesn’t want to pursue putting in the hours to get the game to click for him.
The class system is in my opinion broken. One class dominates (light class) over the other two and it still hasn’t been rectified. How can the light class have an invisibility skill along with sniping weapons and also have thermal vision options whilst the other two classes have grenade like scanners that can easily be spotted and avoided by the other team? It’s ridiculous when you can run around the Heavy class players and they can’t do anything because their turn circle is too slow to have the cross hair on the target. You have no chance as a Heavy if some light class player is running around you close up with a gun that fires out bullets faster than yours.
The newer maps since the initial buzz have been really poor. Very flat and lacking the verticality that the Monaco and Seoul maps have. The Vegas one sucked a lot of fun out of playing the game as it’s just big open rooms lacking the choices of quick escapes from fighting that Monaco has. This seasons new map is no better, it’s quite frankly dull. This spoon feeding of new maps we’re getting from studios is really having an effect on player bases because if the map is not great you’re going to quickly lose the interest of people coming back to a game after being away from it for a period of time. I miss the days of map packs when you could be guaranteed that there would be at least one map out of say four that was great. Season passes don’t offer enough, it’s incentive benefits corporate interests because it offers very little in terms of value.
That’s a very Ubisoft move. Get rid of the promising games and go all in on something that other games are doing best at. I was genuinely interested in playing this

Any PSVR2 games? I bought the Switchback Dark Pictures game and within 5 minutes of playing it I knew it was a “buyers regret” game for me. Awful but not surprising from that studio
I tried Destiny 2 and I was confused how it was basically still the same game as 1. No idea how to start proceedings for the story of 2 and the attack etc so I was basically moving around that same ground I had been over countless times in 1. Quit, uninstalled, moved on
I still believe Bungie will come good with other games
@DennisReynolds Chris Redfield and company probably going after the BSAA which has been taken over by some new variant of corrupted soldiers would be my guess. Hoping Jill will be involved and Claire makes a reappearance.
@Anke it will be coming to PlayStation regardless of any Paramount buyout. The last Indiana Jones film flopped hard and I don’t see how the Xbox management are going to be thinking “yeah, we’re going to sell bucket loads with this”. I genuinely think they’re on for a loss earner with this game, the footage so far hasn’t exactly set the hype world alight
Didn’t they release an arena shooter a few years ago that got canned? Guaranteed that this will have “influencers” claiming it’s a COD killer and then never playing it again
Got 30 more wins left to get my heavy Class trophy in The Finals completed. Currently playing HiFi Rush having struggled to garner any enthusiasm for it since buying two weeks ago. It’s starting to show signs of enjoyment.
Fired up the PSVR2 last night having finally gotten around to getting my eyes checked out and getting contact lenses. Holy cow, the clarity is so much better. Will be working on a 1000 piece jigsaw in Puzzling Places tonight and tomorrow. Wish I didn’t look like a Klingon after taking the headset off
I have such low expectations for the new game. Certainly won’t be buying until it’s dropped in price due to low sales from being broken at launch. A battle royale mode, in 2025, really EA?!?
Stone cold lost interest with this game one day and have no real desire to come back to it. It’s not to say the games bad, rather enjoyed my time, but loot hunts have a limited timespan more so when you’re having to go to the same areas time and time again to hopefully find equipment that will give you a small improvement over what you already have.
