Re: All of a Sudden, High on Life Is Out Now on PS5, PS4

When I saw the price I said something that Justin would be proud of.
I too was expecting psvr after Trover saves the universe which was pretty good but I had to mute Justin after a while as it is just too grating.
Without VR I won't be playing this at any price

Re: VR Skater Delayed Due to PS5 Approval Issues, But 'Sony Has Been Amazing'

CaptD

No problem and it is good that PS check trophy support because I had my doubts, a game recently released called "Math World" has a trophy for playing a mini game 3 times and it was unobtainable at release. It even has the very rare and much prized counter (which should be mandatory) so quite how it was overlooked one can only guess.
NB. Math world VR has been patched so the plat is now obtainable.

Re: 18 More Games Join PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week

CaptD

Nice. Will play Sniper elite, Ascent and Snow runner with which I may or may not be singing "I like trucking" whilst I play.
Might try Ww z and Circus electrique.

Already have It Takes Two which is an awesome game.
Pretty good month imo.

Re: Xbox Had Embargoed Persona Dev's Metaphor: ReFantazio After All, as Fantasy RPG Is Confirmed for PS5, PS4

CaptD

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.
@BusyOlf Probably so Sony can't send a "look what's coming to PlayStation" tweet after the Xbox showcase.
You can imagine those Microsoft boffins at the meeting, "right how are we going to stop Sony do these tweets"...."I know we will have a 24 hour embargo".
"Oh Phil you are a genius" shouts the entire room.
Meanwhile Phil has a smug grin on his face (you know the one).

Re: What Time Is Ubisoft Forward 2023?

CaptD

Interested to see the AC VR game and hopeful it comes to PSVR2 as well as Quest. Trust it has a bit of scalability so it doesn't just look like (another) Quest port.

Would also like to see a Far Cry or Splinter Cell VR game, Sony should grease Ubisoft's palms.

Re: Random: Thought PSVR2 Was Expensive? Apple's Vision Pro Is Here to Hold Your Beer

CaptD

When the Vision Pro UI appeared I immediately thought "the Vita isn't dead, long live the Vita".
I can see this product only helping PSVR2 as people will say "We can't spend 4K (after taxes), lets settle for the Sony experience instead". (Possibly )
This product is a threat to Quest Pro if anything which probably explains the recent Meta showcase which was much more focused on games than the last one.

Re: Poll: Was This Sony's Best PlayStation Showcase Yet?

CaptD

@thefourfoldroot1 Positive, it says so right on the blog, worded as "full main story"
Free as well.

I do agree that all this "mode" talk seems unnecessary double speak and I can only think they say it to avoid the fact that it isn't 100% playable in VR (i.e. Mercenaries, possible dlc etc...).

Re: Poll: Was This Sony's Best PlayStation Showcase Yet?

CaptD

Shockingly bad especially for VR2, the only saving grace for both flat and VR was the near total absence of first party studios.
Helldivers needed a VR mode.

@thefourfoldroot1 Don't quite understand your re4 Vr mode comment, it is the whole game so similar to village Vr.
Ps. Fingers crossed the trophies aren't locked out this time.

Re: Feature: Our PlayStation Showcase Predictions

CaptD

Mainly in it for the excitement of VR, so here are my VR predictions...
Ace combat 8 announced for flat plus entirely playable in VR.
Half life Alyx, although I feel this might be a summer game fest announcement.
Wolverine if shown which I doubt will be playable in VR.
Borderlands 3 announced for VR.

And finally Skyrim updated for psvr2, okay perhaps that is being too unrealistic.

Re: Sony Says It's Too Early to Judge PSVR2's Popularity

CaptD

@tselliot This is why the only way forward for VR is what has been called hybrid games, games which are playable in flat and VR. For example Hitman 3, Dirt rally, Resident evil 7/8/4, gt7 etc..
Personally I really enjoy hybrid games and more of them will give me more faith in Sonys VR commitment, perhaps Wolverine could be hybrid or Last of Us could be modified (it has shown to work on PC with a mod).

Re: PlayStation Showcase Finally Announced for 24th May

CaptD

Nice. Mainly interested to see what they have in store for VR2, hopefully Alyx and hybrid games.
Fingers crossed for lots of "also playable in VR"

Plus it is time for a few vr1 ports, personally I think they should create a ps+ Vr collection which includes vr1 ports and make a commitment like adding one per quarter, this would bolster Vr sales...if indeed they are lacking.

Re: After Transformative Gran Turismo 7 Update, F1 23 Will Not Support PSVR2

CaptD

As we have GT7 in VR, F1 isn't such a loss but this decision is still disappointing.
I just hope the next rally game is supported on PS VR2, Dirt Rally VR was brilliant and was considerably easier for me than in flat mode. Wipeout was the same.
If there isn't support for psvr2 in the next rally game then I shall be writing to my MP.
