Re: Talking Point: Is It Officially Game Over for PSVR2?

r_p_trzy

Wow. Divisive subject much? VR's either for your or it's not. Plain and simple. It's fine if it's not. It won't be for everyone. But the people it's for don't care that it's "not for some people." On PSVR1/2 I've played well over 50 legit great games. Incredible experiences more like. Throw in the PC adapter and it added another 10 or so to the list. It's not just a novelty and the feeling I get from it never wears off. It never ceases to be amazing you are IN the game. This is Tron IRL.

This market is tough. This industry is tough. VR is niche. Honestly 50-60 awesome games on VR exceeds my expectations. It's plenty more than enough when you've also got plenty of other great flatscreen games to play too. Sure I wish more studios could be devoted to VR but I completely understand why they can't. All the more reason that makes the greats that do even more great because they are truly coming from a place of love. Frankly if you know you just know. If you don't, you don't. Both can exist.

Honestly though right now flat games just continue rehashing flat games. Graphical advances are so far along the advances feel unnoticeable. Like we're plateauing. No one dare innovates except Nintendo but even they are doing a lot of rehashing. If you're not tired of the same old same old, wonderful. If you are, VR breaks the mold for now. The next evolutionary leap in videogames is probably coming when they've figured out how to make AI take them to the next level while still maintaining their artistry. The risk though is that the artistry can get lost. Time will tell. But right now VR feels like an artist's blank canvas where something new can still be done and shared.

Propelling that VR is dying is doing one thing and one thing only and that is helping to kill VR. Instead we should be lifting it up if we support new forms of storytelling and new experiences. I hope that it lives on if only for the reason that it may be a refuge from more and more of the same old same old.

Re: PS5's First Firmware Update Is Available to Download Now

r_p_trzy

I haven't had a single problem yet with my PS5 and I've had an external SSD plugged in (type-C usb) since Nov 12. But, THEN, when it was rebooting following this firmware update, weird issues during the reboot. Ultimately got through it fine. But I think next firmware upgrade I'm going to (safely) unplug the external SSD first...

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want to Know About PS5?

r_p_trzy

If you wanted the HDMI 2.1 benefits, and you have an HDMI 2.1 TV, and an HDMI 2.1 cable, and an HDMI 2.1 benefetting videogame but you have a PSVR box between your PS5 and your TV, do you lose out on the HDMI 2.1 effects (i'm talking about playing non-VR games)? Even if you have two HDMI 2.1 cables to/from PS5<-->PSVR<-->TV. In other words, when playing non-VR games, am I going to have to reconfigure cables to leave out the PSVR box?
