PS Showcase Oct confirmed.

Looks cool, can't wait!

Anyone think we'll eventually have gloves for VR, so you have full natural motion of all your fingers and hands, with haptics applied throughout?

All fashion is cyclical.

 

[Arun1910]

Looks really interesting but I've never bought into this as I've always felt it was gimmicky with not a lot of game support (for PSVR 1)

 

[Sosokrates]

But how much it cost Sony?

 

[consoul]

Shit's about to get real.

Drop the date already.

You don't need gloves to track the fingers. And BTW PSVR2 controllers already track the fingers.

You don't need gloves. Infrared can track your fingers

On topic
Man I've being waiting for this for 6 years

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Quest 2 is currently $399 at retail….we guessing $499 MSRP with Horizon Pirate Trainer as a pack in?

 

[Zekra Dezivad]

But how much it cost Sony?

Everything

 

[SLB1904]

Firewall looks so good. If that thing is launch title dear lord help me. It should be on PC for that cross play goodness. But oh well

 

[jaysius]

This looks far more competent than the PSVR 1, it's not going to be cheap though, probably $500-$600 USD.

500 would be sweet spot. Less than that I'll buy 2

Sony said they plan to make more games compatible on flat screen and VR, but if you're just looking for AAA games with a VR mode slapped on, you'll probably never be satisfied.
The best games I've played in VR have been the $30-50 games specifically built for VR. It's more of an extension to AAA gaming, like playing indies.

 

[vodka-bull]

Wow, i'm impressed, but I doubt it's gonna sell for less than 600. But whatever, I'm willing to pay the price for the new generation of VR.

 

[Kilau]

I bitch about the PSVR1 ports but I'm still buying this thing day one.

 

[Punished Miku]

It is a bit gimmicky. But sometimes it's fun to embrace the gimmick, because it's actually a new experience.

As it stands now, VR is always going to be a little bit limited by fatigue, nausea, current tech. But what's there is more than worth it to jump in and experience as a small supplement to your normal gaming. Personally, that's why I went with Quest 2 since it's a standalone option for cheap to be able to experience the gimmick in full. PSVR2 will be extremely cool, but the big question remains - price of the system and price of the games.

I would expect VR to be something you play for 30 minutes, not hours of AAA gaming. Some people can do that, but after 9 months I never felt comfortable with playing it that long. Short sessions, short games are still a great experience.

 

[AJUMP23]

$500!

Looks great

[R6Rider]

I want it.

 

[Liamario]

No Half Life: Alyx, no sale.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Agreed. Would be a major mistake if not, especially if they plan to bring GT7 to the PC eventually.

 

[Slothbeing1209]

This'll be my first VR. Hopefully it can work on pc at some point.

 

[RavageX]

I would expect all of GT7 to work, but know what i really want? Something a like Test Drive Unlimited/Forza Horizon/Hot Pursuit.

Test drive Unlimited 2 you could walk around dealerships, actually look at the cars, use the windows(test drive). It had houses and clothes you could buy too. It ended with a casino addon that was 50/50. Forza is similar but has gotten a bit too...silly? I dont know exactly.

I would want a game where they just dont GIVE you cars all the damn time. Where I dont have to only race in order to drive. I can cruise around.

Test Drive and the earlier Horizons I really liked just driving with a few friends online. Heading to a spot, maybe racing to see who gets there first...maybe not. Checking out someone elses car/house. Finding several abandoned barn finds in order to get a car and PAY to get it fixed. (Not real money)

And I would like cop chases to be possible. Throw in a little illegal racing.

Draugoth trying to steal ibizapocholo lunch money...interesting.

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

$400 or more sounds insane to me.

You realize the Oculus is a standalone console with everything (the cpu, gpu, the storage, the shop) fully inside the headset? To sell just a VR headset that uses the console for all its heavy lifting--even if it's a very nice headset--is crazy at that price. I already have a PS5, but I still can't take it seriously to spend the same price as the console all over again just for a headset.

I'd say $299 or under is where they can be taken seriously with this. Otherwise the console+headset price is just too high for this to have any impact at all on the broader market exposure of virtual reality.

Oh come on! We don't even have a release date yet!

[Trogdor1123]

i really want to try no man’s sky in psvr. It will be awesome.

Why? It’s a valid point. This has no wifi, no processor, I’m the ps5 does most of the work I think. 299 is probably low, especially with current Sony, but 399 is what I’m thinking too.

I asked this in a thread a while back that see what the biggest cost is in a headset and it seems like no one knows. Where does most of the cost come from?

 

[SLB1904]

Agreed. Would be a major mistake if not, especially if they plan to bring GT7 to the PC eventually.

Would be nice if we could scan the steering wheel position.

It's not a valid point, and we've beaten this horse so many times before. Oculus went and raised their price $100, and the tech inside the unit pales compared to this one. Especially the less than stellar cell phone processing. You want to play PS2 era looking shit, no? Well then you do what most enthusiasts do with the cheap headset, and plug it into the PC to let your PC process better graphics. And the streaming to the headset with artifacts and latency, yes, it does have its issues.

Shitting on this thing, is the same as shitting on the Vive or the Index, yet nobody brings them up in the "needing a box to process" equation. Especially with their hefty price tags.

In the end, Oculus doesn't work on the PlayStation, so... its irrelevant to the conversation.

 

[R6Rider]

Better yet, be able to take the headset into your real car and scan that. Boom.

Only half joking.

 

[dorkimoe]

ive never used any vr headset, this will be my first. Just hoping its not impossible to get (it will be)

Almost all headsets are not standalone like the Quest and almost all of them were far more expensive than the Quest.

Just kind of shows you how much of a loss they were willing to take to push it.

 

[tommib]

Looks lush but bring Alyx to it, PLEASE!

599 USD, you heard it here first.

If it's 599.98, then I'm calling you out.

 

[Mephisto40]

The PSVR has a big catalogue of great games, I've got about 30 installed on my PS4 that are worth playing, to say it wasn't supported is just wrong tbh

I don’t agree or disagree as we still don’t know what costs what in this things. I’m sure some do but I certainly don’t and you seem to know so please let me know, I’d really appreciate it.

The tech may pale (it does) but there is also less of it so it might counter it. Again, we need the numbers.

I’m going to assume Sony won’t sell it for a loss either haha

Are they all sold at a loss?

I am guessing $499 based on the tech inside. Would be pleasantly surprised with $399 though.

 

[danklord]

I hope there's a fishing game so I can feel a new real eel with zeal, would have a lot of appeal.

 

[Dick Jones]

Just say the price and date so I can throw a deposit down with Gamestop.

Still believe it releases same day as REmake 4

 

[Punished Miku]

No idea honestly. I just see the price tags and they're almost all higher than Quest 2.

 

[R6Rider]

Yeah, everything seems to be pointing to March.
