Re: PS Plus Owners Will Have to Pay to Upgrade The Walking Dead for PSVR2

It's a shame this was so poorly communicated, glad I bought the tourist edition when it was on sale way back when! I would still probably pay for the upgrade if I hadn't. I have already played this a heap on PSVR 1, without doubt one of the best games from last gen, but I'll definitely revisit before diving into retribution. Happy days!

It took me a couple of days to get it dialled in, but then I'm pretty sure I went through exactly the same thing with PSVR 1.

The band needs to sit much lower on the back of my head to take pressure off my nose. Once I'm there I use text as well to adjust.

It is less forgiving and less comfortable than PSVR 1, but I'm pretty happy so far.

It feels HD coming from the PSVR 1 lol, but there is definitely a way to go before we get affordable headsets with 4K image quality.

GT7 is pretty amazing, none of the games I've played have given me headaches or motion sickness at all. Only NMS was a bit disappointing for me, but still perfectly playable. I'm having a blast!

With you all the way on Skyrim, I put 124 hours into that game, absolutely loved it! I know there's zero chance of a remaster, but I would be all over it in a heartbeat if it happened.
Just gotta hope they bring the AAA titles it deserves this time.

For me it's been night and day better, no it's not as sharp as a 4k TV image, it was never going to be. It's basically 2K per eye, each with a very slightly different viewpoint to give a stereoscopic 3D image. So you're more or less seeing a 2K image, still a big jump up from PSVR 1 though. It does have mura, but it's nowhere near as pronounced as PSVR 1 either, I really have to look for it, once I'm playing I forget about it completely. Screen door effect, well I can't personally see it myself, but then I am slightly short sighted. Wearing glasses does sharpen the image up even more, but they get in the way, can't wait until they release some prescription lens options. If you are very short sighted, wearing glasses will help.

I haven't really suffered from any motion sickness at all, but then I've had 6 years of coping with PSVR 1! The only game that's given me any problems so far is No Man's Sky, it is significantly blurry compared to other titles, but even then it's only fatiguing rather than making me feel sick. It's probably not using foveated rendering yet, I really hope they can improve it.

Overall I'm really happy, it's pretty much what I was expecting. I think some people are still struggling to find the sweet spot, despite maybe thinking they have, it took me a good 2days of solid playing. The band really does need to be much lower down the back of your head than the first one. That made the biggest difference for me, taking pressure off my nose, I was surprised how much less comfortable it was at first.

Anyone feeling disappointed should realise that, despite what they feel is a poor image quality, it is actually as good as if not better than everything else out there at the moment. They aren't lying, it just unfortunate the performance you expect isn't available yet at a consumer friendly price. Hell the meta quest pro costs 2.5 times as much and certainly isn't 2.5 better. Games will decide VR2's fate, if Sony back it properly it will be a wild ride.
