Who told you only official $80 cable would work? Plenty of $20-$30 cables out there working just fine.
Sony has an uphill battle to get another foothold in VR. Wireless is indeed the future. Cloud gaming for VR is already happening & happening well. Sony will be behind the times at launch.
Here's one reason Sony will never lead in home VR... refund policy. Pretty much non-existent from Sony.
Meanwhile, Quest 2 users (PCVR as well) can play any game for two hours/two weeks & then refund.
This app is fantastic. Been playing it since it showed up on SideQuest a while ago. It's now available for free on Oculus App Lab with a total of six puzzles. Atmospheric sounds are great.
It's great to have this announcement. Excellent news. But still going with a Move type controller is quite disconcerting. Hopefully that's not the case.
Does everyone still want to play VR in the dark? Having used Touch controllers for the last two years has ruined me on the Moves.
I'm very cynical, obviously.
Gran Turismo 7 being delayed until 2022 will surely mean VR support included. Hopefully.
I haven't a clue who this person is but will definitely watch a VR show.
While they were all 2D, Oculus Venues had some excellent live shows for free last year. Concerts in VR could very well be part of the future. For me, anyway.
@naruball Call it what you like. I call it honesty.
No one is getting a refund. Sony is just giving you a new opportunity to give them your money. And you will. Because you can't spend that particular money any other way.

@get2sammyb Do you know if Rezzil Player will get a demo?
Re: REZZIL PLAYER Brings Pro Sports Drills to PSVR2
Just give me C-Smash VRS.
Re: Horizon Call of the Mountain Goes Gold Two Weeks Before PSVR2 Launch
@DiscoStuUK
Got my copy four days ago. Did all the licensing & a couple races pancake style. Leave the rest for the headset only.
Headset haptics gonna blow our minds!
Re: Random: It Now Takes Devs 270 Days to Make One Gran Turismo Car
Bought it yesterday so I could license before PSVR 2 releases.
In seventeen days, seven hours & fifty eight minutes.
Re: More Physical PSVR2 Games Spotted Online
@siofwolves Haha. What?
Re: This Use of PSVR2's Eye Tracking Is Truly Terrifying
PSVR 2 is gonna blow our minds. Bet.
Fifty two days away.
Re: PSVR2 Gets The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR on Launch Day
This will be the first PSVR 2 game purchase for me. After Horizon in the bundle, of course.
I'd like every game to utilize every haptic available. I suspect this particular game will do so.
Because those headset haptics are gonna blow our minds. Bet.
Re: PSVR2 Manuals Are Being Printed Prior to Launch, Sony Massively Cuts Weight

Re: PSVR2 Is Playable at GDC and Is Already Blowing Minds
@TeapotBuddha
Nah. I'm a realist.
Re: PSVR2 Is Playable at GDC and Is Already Blowing Minds
As for AAA VR... of course Sony has big plans. I look forward to their plans coming to fruition.
But the smaller studio games that are killing it on Quest.. wireless has a lot to do with it.
A game called Nock being a prime example. A $9.99 VR sports game with a healthy multiplayer base two weeks after releasing.
It's Rocket League in VR with bow & arrows. Needs to be played to be fully appreciated.
It's up there with Sparc as one of the greatest VR sports games ever made. Already. After only two weeks in the wild.
My point? A PSVR version (or PSVR 2 version) could not & would not be as immersive & plain outright FUN while wired to the console.
So while I patiently await PSVR 2, I don't fool myself into believing a wired connection is no big deal.

@TeapotBuddha
And you can bet your ass whatever devs are doing to mitigate motion sickness will be for naught.
Re: PSVR2 Is Playable at GDC and Is Already Blowing Minds
@lolwhatno
You should want to see Sony follow Quest's business model.
Fantastic refund policy. Of which Sony has... none.
Referral credit. Again, of which Sony has.. none.
Completely free online multiplayer. 'Nuff said about that.
Sony should follow Quest's business model & then some.
Re: PSVR2 Is Playable at GDC and Is Already Blowing Minds
@Uncharted2007
Fix motion sickness?! Haha.. It doesn't work like that. If you're susceptible to motion sickness in VR, you're SOL.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Realistically Expect from PS5, PS4's Game Pass Inspired PS Plus Reboot?
All PSVR games.
How is that not a category?

Quest 2 is a PCVR headset as well. One cord.
What Sony VR has going for it are exclusives.

Did you buy a Quest 2? Unfortunately this will not come to original Quest.
Re: The Impsider Is Media Molecule's Digital Magazine for All Things Dreams

Ah. I was unaware. Thanks for that information.
Re: The Impsider Is Media Molecule's Digital Magazine for All Things Dreams
@Ogbert
The main requirement to receive that free camera adapter is ownership of PSVR.
The PSVR serial number must be included in the request for camera adapter.
Did they change that requirement?
Re: Sony Must Communicate Its Plans for PS3, PS Vita, and PSP
Why not do an article about how you don't own any digital game you've bought?
You're paying for a licence to play. A licence that can be rescinded at any time.
How do people not know that?
Re: Soapbox: PSVR's Crap Load of Cables Has Put Me Off
I'm not bothered because my PSVR is second model & it's always set up. But I see where you're coming from.
One of the main reasons Quest has taken VR industry by storm. I suspect.

If you're into jigsaw puzzles this is a must buy.
Re: Evil Inside Sure Does Look Like P.T.
Thanks for the prologue info. I did not know that.
On an entirely unrelated note.. where's the new PSVR games coverage? Surely I didn't miss it.
Re: Soapbox: Man, Remember Black?
I loved playing this game.

Re: Job Listings Renew Speculation Regarding Virtual Reality Horizon Spin-Off
@theMEGAniggle Yes indeed.
VR industry is moving forward with a quickness. Sony need not be left behind.
Re: Job Listings Renew Speculation Regarding Virtual Reality Horizon Spin-Off
@daddycool197 Of course. Most definitely. The questions are... when? At what price point?
Beyond those two questions.. PSVR 2 will need wireless capabilities to compete.
When plugged into PS5 it will need to be as close to PCVR as possible but also be able to play lesser games wirelessly.
I lean towards Sony doing what they need to do to make that happen. But I also lean towards Sony being much too late to wireless VR.
Re: Job Listings Renew Speculation Regarding Virtual Reality Horizon Spin-Off
@theMEGAniggle I suspect 2022 will be much too late.
Re: Job Listings Renew Speculation Regarding Virtual Reality Horizon Spin-Off
@daddycool197 If you don't know what difference it'd make.. you're not paying attention to the VR industry.
Hopefully, Sony is paying attention.
Re: Job Listings Renew Speculation Regarding Virtual Reality Horizon Spin-Off
I'm afraid PSVR 2 will come too late & Oculus will be ruling VR even more.
I want to be wrong.
Re: Catch Popstar Madison Beer Perform in PSVR Soon

Re: PS2-Style PS5 Consoles Withdrawn From Sale After Company Receives 'Credible Threats'

You're probably correct.
If you visited their website on your computer.. scan it now. Their site is full of malware.
This company is a scam.

Never mind. I understand what you're meaning there.
I was thinking of other headsets.
Re: Game of the Year: Best PSVR Game of 2020
Haha. What?
Star Wars: Squadrons. Easily the best PSVR game of 2020.
Re: Sony Reportedly Refunding Purchases of Maneater on PS5 Following PS Plus Announcement

Re: Sony Reportedly Refunding Purchases of Maneater on PS5 Following PS Plus Announcement
Ah but here's the thing.. the refund is an illusion.
Sony will get that money back from you. That's why the 'refund' appears in your Sony 'wallet.' Regardless of how you paid.

Re: PSVR FPS Firewall Zero Hour Boosts Visual Fidelity on PS5
First Contact Entertainment has been fantastic for Lobby Simulators in VR.
Solaris is almost as good as Firewall in that respect.
