Re: Preview: Arizona Sunshine 2 Could Be the Next PSVR2 Must-Buy

Hamst88

@Gooseman42 @Art_Vandelay Don’t worry - in a month or so in the run up to Xmas, Aaron will suddenly be a believer and will no doubt do another PSVR2 top 10 games video on the pushsquare YouTube channel 🤣🤣

(Although it seems he’ll only have 2 games in his top 10 🤣🤣)

Re: Preview: Arizona Sunshine 2 Could Be the Next PSVR2 Must-Buy

“Ask anyone that has a PSVR2 and they’ll likely tell you that the tech is great, but the library is lacking.”

🤣🤣🤣 you only need to read your own comments section to see how out of touch this very cliched view is!

Apart from the 2 games you mentioned, you conveniently forgot some big hitters like red matter 2, synapse, GT7, horizon, moss 1 & 2, etc. Coming up shortly we have journey to foundation, vertigo 2, re4, bullet storm, etc. I already have an 8 game backlog as I’m not lucky enough to get to play games all day as a job.

To trot out the same predictable “there aren’t any games” trope is just lazy.
Although I do wonder whether Pushsquare do it on purpose re PSVR2 to get more comments.

I would admit though that it would be great for Sony to announce some big first party games - think we all want that

Re: Do a Barrel Roll in Project Wingman: Frontline 59 on PS5, PSVR2

Hamst88

Erm, I think PushSquare is a bit behind here. As others have said, early VR reviews have already said the developer has released this in very poor quality and to avoid this until it gets patched / the game is improved.

Bit worrying when the readers know more than the news site!! 🤣🤣

Re: Angry Birds VR: Isle of Pigs Slingshots onto PSVR2 Next Month

Hamst88

And this after the announcement that the first Red Matter is coming to PSVR2 as well. 😀

I know some people will say they should be focusing on new games (which is a fair point) but personally I’m really pleased we’re seeing more psvr1 upgrades as there are so many I never got to.

Hopefully they’ll announce some of the big boys soon - Astrobot, farpoint, hitman, Skyrim, borderlands, Star Wars squadrons, iron man, etc

Re: Pixel Ripped 1995 Delays PSVR2 Release to Next Month

Hamst88

@SgtTruth No dust on my PSVR2 (GT7 alone is ensuring that) but totally agree on really wanting a big long adventure experience now - Skyrim, Fallout, Borderlands, anything like that.

Surely PSVR2 isn’t going to be the only platform in the universe that they don’t re-release Skyrim on!! 🤣🤣🤣

Re: Firewall Ultra (PSVR2) - Flawed VR Shooter Misses the Mark

Hamst88

Ha ha - saw the sub heading of this review and knew all the Negative Nancies would be rushing out to wave their flags of cheerfulness! And yep, there they all are 🤣🤣🤣

Shame about this game - hope it gets as good a patch as No Mans Sky just got - that’s meant to beat some PCs now for clarity

Can’t win them all

Re: Mini Review: The Room VR: A Dark Matter (PSVR2) - Exquisite VR Escape Room Beckons You to the Past

Hamst88

@Amnesiac “Deathwatch squad” - love it!! 🤣🤣🤣

It’s too expensive, it’s niche, it’s a gimmick, doomed to fail, ps vita, no games, quest 1 2 3 all better, pc vr rocks, cord is awful, it ate my hamster 🐹 etc etc

Pleased to see most people just ignore those comments now. Stopped bothering me ages ago.

Although I still wonder what drives these people to flock to a psvr2 article when they clearly don’t like psvr2 (which is also fair enough). But hey, if they’re that bored…..

Re: F1 23 (PS5) - A FIFA Level Experience for F1 Fans

Hamst88

Glad this is reviewing well - but given they are only supporting pc vr and not psvr2, I’ll pass for now (that’s the problem when GT7 spoils you with amazing VR racing - you can’t go back!!! 🤣 Well, at least I can’t anyway….)

Hope everyone else fully enjoys it. 👍

Re: Preview: Alan Wake 2 Will Be an Investigative Dream

Hamst88

You’ve got me interested in this now Liam!

Hopefully might mean Alan Wake 1 is included in ps plus essential in run up to October.

As per comment above though, I’d much prefer it on a disc (nothing against the digital only people but I just like collecting my games)

Re: Monochrome PSVR2 FPS Synapse Sounds Like a Roguelite to Add to Your Wishlist

Hamst88

All the hands on previews that hit yesterday on YouTube, etc have been really singing the praises of this game big time - it’s definitely now gone up considerably on my want list.

Everyone from euro gamer, gamer tag, psvr2 without parole and even PSU put up glowing previews yesterday. Fingers crossed on this one!

Ps I’m guessing pushsquare didn’t get sent the preview?

Re: Feature: PSVR2 Three Months Later - The Good, The Bad, and The Worrying

Hamst88

Great to hear the views of all the Pushsquare team rather than one individual 👍

Aaron - how on earth have you found time to finish all the current VR games??? I’ve already got a backlog. Please could you share your negotiation tactics with other half / wife as I clearly have a lot to learn! 😜

Liam - Dead in the water after 3 months? Really? (Cue Monty Python singing Always Look On The Bright Side of Life…..😜) No offence but I think that’s an incredibly negative take - but hey, good to have a range of views I guess.

Sammy / Stephen - Spot on in my opinion! Couldn’t agree more. Am reasonably optimistic about the PSVR2 launch to date (some people expecting waaayyyy too much).

But also agree there are definitely some worries:-
1) No roadmap / lack of Sony first party announcements
2) Fewer PSVR1 conversions than expected (this has got to be an easy win???)
3) Couple of recent disappointments haven’t helped - showcase and F1 23 specifically

There will always be PSVR2 haters or Quest is Better proposers but if we get a few big announcements in next few months then all will be good with the world and hopefully we can stop having this debate 😊

Re: PSVR2 Sales at 600,000 Six Weeks After Launch, Sony Confirms

Hamst88

Personally I think that’s a pretty good start in terms of sales given the “soft launch” nature.

Wonder how many of those media sites that were desperately quick to repeat the Bloomberg negative article will also repeat this more positive one…….

And I’m sure Bloomberg itself will be issuing an apology any time now 🤣🤣

Re: PlayStation Showcase Finally Announced for 24th May

Hamst88

Great news!! Very exciting that they are focusing on ps5 and psvr2!

Hoping for some great announcements for psvr2 (please any of hitman 3, astrobot, farpoint, Star Wars squadrons, iron man, half life Alyx, Skyrim, blood and truth - ah, stuff it, all of them please Sony! 🤣)

Re: Best PSVR Games We Want Upgraded for PSVR2

Hamst88

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

Re: Mini Review: The Last Worker (PSVR2) - VR Doesn't Save the First-Person Order Picker

Hamst88

@GrimReaper “seemingly almost all have review scores from 3 to 7” - hmmm, think you may need to count again / try harder.
Push Square has already given 12 psvr2 games scores of between 8 and 10 - search for their all psvr2 review scores article

https://www.pushsquare.com/guides/all-psvr2-games-reviews

Was a bit worried about this one though it has to be said - can’t all be great though

Re: Best PSVR2 Games

Hamst88

Really interesting list - thanks for compiling. Surprised horizon is so low on the list and would have bet my house that GT7 would be top!!

Re: Poll: We Want You to Rate Your Favourite PSVR2 Games

Hamst88

@naruball yes! I was getting the same thing on every lap of gt7 - it was driving me crazy!!! I have a white living room and the tv is in the corner - both things are rumoured to cause problems.

After lots of digging in various sites, I did the following things and it’s pretty much sorted now;-
1) under system / accessories / psvr2 I did the tracking camera calibration
2) under same settings I turned on tracking support (at bottom of screen under other) - that’s what puts the border round your tv
3) I put my lights on full and even got brighter light bulbs - I think my old ones were too dim as it’s a big living room.
4) when I rescanned my play space, I took a loooong time to look at every nook and cranny as think I was too quick previously

I suspect 2 and 3 were the game changers but thought I’d list them all as what do I know!!! It’s soooo much better now. Hope it works for you.
