I BOUGHT THE PS5 AND A PSVR 2

This is gonna be such an upgrade over using the quest 2

-110 FOV as opposed to the Quest 2’s 90 FOV

-I would be able to play pcvr level experienced without going through all the fiddling that I have to do with pcvr (I’m always having issues)

-Foveated rendering

-Eye tracking (it’s what allows for the foveated rendering, so of course it has it)

-Full control over your ipd, as opposed to the 3 ipd settings on the quest (6 if you put the lenses between them)

-Way better controllers, with the Ps5’s adaptive triggers and haptic feedback built into them

-OLED Displays for a higher contrast expereince (though this comes with a downside, the picture can be grainy at times. I’m good at filtering that kinda stuff out of my vision, and there are tricks to reduce it, besides, it’s a worthy trade off)

-I think higher resolution than the Quest 3 (even if not, it still looks a lot better anyways due to the things I mentioned above)

-I get a ps5 too lol, meaning I can play the upcoming spiderman game, while doing so on a giant cinematic screen in vr

-Other stuff I didn’t mention

The only downside is the wire. But I really don’t care if it means I get a high fidelity vr experience with no hiccups (looking at you, airlink)

Y’know, I’ve been thinking about it

I might buy the PSVR2 and a PS5 instead of the Quest 3. Everything is just vastly superior in almost every way. And I almost have enough, $940 dollars with that number increasing by $10 every week.

The total for both the headset and console is $950 (plus taxes), I am very close to having enough, one more week. (I receive the $10 on Sunday, as it’s for taking out the garbage every Sunday)

The ps5 is going to run way better than my pc would, and it’s getting pcvr releases at a high frequency, so the PSVR 2 is probably the better choice instead of Meta Quest 3 + Airlink, especially since airlink has been pretty finicky lately.

In fact, I have made up my mind. Ps5 digital edition + PSVR 2

Also I get a ps5 so that’s cool too lol

Edit: It with taxes would be around $60 more. That means 7 weeks until I can afford it

Holy fuck it’s here, it came early.
I think it’s so it doesn’t get overshadowed by Apple unveiling it’s vr headset

I love it. Apparently the passthrough is going to be so good you could read text with the headset on, and it’s depth sensor is going to allow for so much better ar capabilities. All in full color, too.

And don’t get me started on that headset size. It’s so fucking tiny, and I love it!

Not to mention the fact that it’s going to have better resolution than the quest 2, pancake lenses, way more power, but one thing befuddles me. Those controllers.

No one knows how they track, besides the person who got to use it hands on who released limited info on it. They don’t use cameras imbedded in the controllers, or tracking rings, or lighthouse tracking or an external camera (obviously). It’s something new entirely. I’m not worried about its quality, obviously meta wouldn’t use a different tracking method if it was worse than before. No, I’m just curious on how they work, and I’m giddy to find out. My guess though is that they are still using inside out tracking, but they put the IR LEDS in the controller rather than in a ring. In which case I will be slightly disappointed, as new tracking technology would be very exciting, however this is still an improvement. Also I think the controllers are going to have better haptics than the old ones, but it’s not confirmed, they just listed it as a feature in the announcement trailer, and my guess is that if they’re announcing it and putting the spotlight on it in such a way, it’s improved.

Yeah so basically better resolution, better passthrough and AR due to superior, color, clear cameras and a depth sensor, more power, things are going to be clearer in the headset (don’t know if that goes along with better resolution, or if they did something to make things clearer), a native 120hz refresh rate, a slimmer, sleeker headset, pancake lenses, most likely a better ipd adjuster (in the leaks it showed it, and in the announcement trailer the lenses moved, smoothly, hinting at full ipd control like the quest 1), most likely better controllers (with no tracking rings, meaning they’re less likely to get in each other’s way and are more compact, just sad that you can’t stand them up anymore, lol), and hopefully the better cameras and depth sensor mean improved hand tracking

For $500, this is a steal. Definitely preordering day 1.

To anyone with a PCVR (Only PCVR, sorry standalone users, not out on there yet) headset

Do yourself a favor and get Swords of Gurrah. Hands down the best online sword fighting game I’ve ever played. (Well, also the only one, lol).

The way it works is that when your blade hits the opponent’s blade (and the opponent, but it does damage when you hit them), both theirs and the opponent’s blade breaks. But, if you harden it and hit their blade, theirs breaks and your stays in tact. If your blades are both hard and hit each other, nothing happens. You cannot damage the opponent when your blade is hard, only their blade. Not all blades can harden, and have other mechanics. Such as the katana having a sheathe that you could use, and the pole arms just being super long ( hardening would be op on the polearms lol)

Great game, and fantastic developer too. Go support them and buy the game if you can and have the means to play it, you won’t regret it. The one on ARMGDDN is outdated and therefore has NO lobbies, so don’t get it from there. It’s on steam for $15, worth every penny. Even if I didn’t pay for it and received it for free from the dev, still worth every nonexistent penny.

I’m gonna play Half Life: Alyx now that I fixed my airlink issue

I heard it’s extremely good, so this should be fun.

Hopefully it’s on ARMGDDN browser though, as I don’t want to have to find it somewhere else, and it’s $60 on steam which I do not feel like paying

Trying to download blade and sorcery but the download keeps failing for whatever reason int the oculus app

Might have to pirate an app I already own just to bypass downloading on their stupid app, and then run it through said stupid app to play it

I should’ve bought it on steam, much more reliable than the oculus app
