@Critonic 100%. That was my gripe too - the older PSVR games were on Extra, and it's BS that PSVR2 owners should stump up for Premium for them given they've already outlaid so much for the headset itself.

Would be nice if they started adding some to Extra now but won't hold my breath. Not too fussed though, at last count I have about 70 or so PSVR2 games so eating good as it is with more on the way. Can't wait for Roboquest later this week!

@KeldorTheCursed seriously unreal update from them to get PSSR to work in VR!

@Max_the_German Yeah Pavlov for example is next level, this is nowhere near on that scale. I haven't used a sniper rifle yet though so not sure how painful loading the next bolt will be for you.

Either way this is such an epic game in VR. Hybrid flat/VR ports are the way forward.

@Max_the_German No button press reload but the mechanism is in-between button press and simulation so it's a pretty good compromise.

1st and foremost it's a stealth game, you're usually overwhelmed in straight gunfights and a button press reload is unlikely to save you.

@xDD90x as Flobbots said, there is a VR mod for Alien Isolation on PC, called MotherVR. 1000% the best way to experience that game.

BYO brown underwear.

@ItsAlwaysSunnyyy Robocop Rogue City is playable in VR on PC via the UEVR inector. Just need a pretty beefy system from what i understand.

Weak take from Pushsquare here. These games are 5+ years old and not available on Playstation.

Adding to that they're somewhat buried on Meta's poorly designed oculus PCVR store to begin with (not available via Steam), so to claim that their temporary disappearance is damning on the state of VR is scraping the bottom of the barrel in search of something to write about.

I for one, was aware they were unavailable and as others have said above this has happened before, so not something to get worked up about let alone draft an article seemingly with no better purpose than crapping on VR for some reason.

The "VR/PSVR2 is dead" line is weak and uninformed. Sony mightn't be pumping out 1st party games (nor are they for the PS5 in case that's lost on the author) but there is a constant stream of games coming out for the system. Be better.

@Gooseman42 Just checked Paradise Decay's video on it and I'll be getting involved for sure! Been looking both for something else to use my wheel setup and something with traffic on the roads.

@Nakatomi_Uk I think it'll remain a high end extra for a while, although the price of good hardware is coming down. Just like the PS5 Pro there is a market for lower volume higher end tech.

No one's kidding themselves that VR is going to take over mainstream gaming or get large scale investment outside Meta any time soon, but the experience is awesome and was a good point of difference for Sony vs competitors (while xbox existed).

Powerwash simulator isn't exactly a system seller either so not really reflective of the wider space.

@breakneck great to have confirmation you reckon? It's not failed tech for most games if it's not an option for most games. The investment for GT7 was without doubt worth it as anyone who's played it on the VR2 will attest to.

Just because you don't have interest in something personally doesn't make it unworthy of investment.

Perhaps some of that Concord money would have been better 'invested' in a well known Sony IP coming to the VR space to drag in those like yourself who're yet to understand its potential.

Madison should be on this list

4 is seriously harsh. Even with the criticisms levelled anything less than a 6 is unwarranted

For any new buyers, Without Parole on youtube just did a vid with 50 essential games for the PSVR2 and their list is spot on.

So many great titles and that list can help you prioritise which ones to look at first.

No idea why anyone even bothers to read articles put out by Takashi Mochizuki. He's spun no much verified garbage that it seems anything he writes is speculative at best.

Not sure why anyone would opt for the quest version unless it's cheaper. The OLED and advanced haptics/headset haptics rock

Ah, did I miss something or is there no mention above of the PSVR2 content?
Hitman, midnight walk and Metro aren't mentioned here.

Either way pretty solid for a SoP in general

The PS6 will cost at least this, but i reckon it'll be $700.

People seem to ignore that gaming has actually been getting cheaper vs inflation for the last 2 decades, which isn't sustainable.

UEVR injector for the win!

Pack of babies throwing their toys out of the cot again

Bring back smash court tennis!

@__jamiie it's a disingenuous argument. The PSVR2 didn't cost you that much, a PS5 and the VR2 did.

The target audience for the VR2 are those who already have a PS5, that's your baseline. From there both are essentially the same price and to suggest you're paying the whole 1200 for the VR2 is wilful ignorance.

@__jamiie But they're essentially the same price? Or are you arguing that PS5 is needed? Cause if you're on here then chances are you already have one, no?

I think there's a bit of detail missing from the article. While the PSVR2 haptics won't be functional the controller rumble will still be. A shame but the reality is that none of the PCVR games utilise the headset feature so it's moot.

Likewise about HDR - it's still utilising OLED panels so the blacks will be true blacks and the colours will still look less washed out as a result.

Most of the things missing aren't used by any other games at present. This is still a great option where, if comparing to it's most direct competitor the Quest 3, you're looking at a tradeoff of either standalone use/pankcake lenses vs functionality with PS5/PSVR2 games and OLED.

The PSVR2 versions of games are generally the best versions and their exclusives are still absolute bangers, so it's a decent value proposition for any PS5 owners on the fence about whether they want to try VR and those fortunate enough to have a PS5 and gaming PC. Nearly all the best games (and mods) will be available via PSVR2 now which is a win.

As a PSVR2 user I've bought about 20 more games in the past year than any year before that

@RBMango Same here. Their reddit page used to be really fun, now it's 98% complaints about one thing or another, even complaints about complaints. It's no longer an enjoyable component of the HD2 community which is a damn shame as that's part of what's fueled it's popularity.

The bipolarity of their fanatacism is over the top and a real turnoff. Thankfully the game and online playerbase is still awesome (despite what some of the posts would have you eblieve)

@ShogunRok you read my kind with that first comment haha. Maybe 4 tears running down the cape.

I think they're just going to have to incentivise the PSN account side of things. Actually hoping they do and make it something that'd annoy the whiners to miss out on.

I'm happy that Sony will listen if enough people are loud enough (how vocal do we need to be to get a PSVR2 roadmap?) but this was a massive overreaction for something players were warned about from the start then started acting like they were blindsided.

The toxicity around the issue (or any balance changes Arrowhead make that inconvenience them for that matter) is unwarranted.

Reflective of the childish overreaction by most. There was a real issue with those outside of PSN serviced countries potentially not being able to play but the real backlash was by those mildly inconvenienced and then acting outraged that their data could be scraped. Absolute babies about it.

I'm loving the regular war effort coverage

This guy seems to underestimate how much demand there is for apples to taste like bacon

Hell yes it's amazing in the PSVR2

I knew it would have been Takashi "reporting" this before I'd even seen his name in the article. His often baseless clickbait should have had his contract with Bloomberg ended by now.

Seems to be crashing more eon PS5 these past couple of days unfortunately

@RBMango apparently it's been nerfed a little more than is ideal. Hopefully they'll rebuff it a bit

@Pat84 I'm praying to the Capgods that you're right on both fronts

Fully addicted with no signs of slowing down and have barely touched any of the automaton missions yet

@Flashfordy2000 absolutely. Can play with randoms with or without voice chat too as you can use other means of communication. This game is sick

I would bail from the squad immediately, the pressure associated with extraction of limited resources is a massive part of the appeal and camaraderie with this game

Reallllllly hoping a new Ace Combat in VR didn't get turfed

Can confirm, is awesome in giant screen cinema mode on PSVR2

@2here2there Seems you didn't read the first paragraph

@get2sammyb any chance this list could be updated with the games mentioned above in the comments? Your list is super thin compared to what's actually been announced.

@Styledvinny79 that would be an epic win

VR would be amazing for this one

The original Burnout was the most intense game I've ever played. High stakes and super unforgiving with maximum adrenaline. The others are fantastic and built on the formula but I always appreciated how savage that game was.

Metro Awakening (VR title) allegedly....

Bring back Smash Court Tennis, still the GOAT

@thefourfoldroot1 100% this. All of the hybrid games (incl RE4) I've held off playing until I could play in VR due to the superior immersion.

Being able to play in VR is transformative and brings the promised land of AAA quality to the headset as the financial prospects of a studio aren't limited to only VR sales.

Stoked to see a VR game get more than 7/10 on PS, must be epic!
