Is Sony discontinuing PSVR 2 support?

I am amazed that they put this thing out to die. Then again, they did that with the PSVR 1 as well. What say you fellow SW friends? Are you regretting your purchase? If you don't have one, were you still planning on buying one?

I feel like maybe they should just have focused on trying to get us some first party games in 2023 instead.

No regrets here.

I didn't waste my money purchasing one.😂

I still have alot of faith in VR. But the approach of a already limited library, segmenting it up into their little fiefdoms has been poo.

Even if VR were to get no support at all, modders keep it going.

They should just add PC support for it so that it can reach a bigger audience as it is a good headset. I don't see VR growing much more than it has based on the current limitations. Unless somebody comes out with some major breakthrough, we are going to have to wait for some Matrix-like shit for full immersion.

Most people with VR headsets still prefer to play games the traditional way and the headsets end up collecting dust.

They're literally publishing an exclusive in like two weeks.

The first two tweets make good points. But including a JayRock tweet in the OP is dumb.

Dude is a card carrying cult member

@ghostofgolden: You know this thread is about PSVR2 right?🤭

Sony is **dumb**. They release what is probably the best headset on the market, the PS VR2, and don't officially support PC, rendering the thing almost useless beyond a few solid games. The PSVR 1 was a colossal piece of ass-shit. That thing....ugh. Nice design in some respects, but the tracking, software, power supply all sucked horrendously, to say the least. I did get a lot of playtime with my jarhead bros on Firewall Zero Hour, though. That was the only saving grace.

The PSVR2 is a solid headset, and there are some great games for it. But yeah, support from Sony is scant at this point. But then, Sony first party has not been great lately, in my opinion. The main reason I'm getting a PSVR2 is for the Firewall sequel, which is going to be dope as hell. But if you don't want CS:Go in VR, then dunno what to tell you.

Can't wait to hear what DF has to say about this, especially John Linneman on their next Direct Weekly. This news will upset John as he really loves PSVR2.

I said the first two tweet made good points. Including the third tweet in a thread about PSVR2 makes no sense. Folks need to learn to consider the source. Altano and McCaffrey are industry vets. JayRock has 13K followers made up of Xbox fanatics…

Again, you know this thread is about PSVR2? I know it is hard for folks like you to not talk about Xbox and talking about PSVR2 is a struggle.🤭

What news? That Ryan McCaffreys PSVR2 has dust on it?

As i said many times before it was even released, you will never get a single quality title for this thing. Its made for shitty low budget indies, and that's your $550 experience, low budget garbage that is sold on steam for $5.

Stop being so obtuse. Taking the third tweet out of the OP would make the thread something worth talking about. Putting a Xbox fanatic with a minuscule following compared to the industry vets makes no sense.

PSVR2 has no games. It has no clear future. The marketing has been non existent. There was FAR more support for their first headset. Sony put the thing out to die.

Have absolutely zero interest in the PSVR2 myself one way or the other but that’d be pretty crazy for Sony to drop support for it already. 😅

No, just curious as to what DF team has to say about it.

You should stick to words you know.🤭

Beyond that, it is clear that your obsession with Xbox and its fanatics have gotten the best of you. After all, it is the reason you are a third gen alt.🙃

Back to the thread, PSVR2 needs to be released of its PS5 constraints.

It is funny you only mentioned DF and John Linneman in your comment but the lad deflected to Ryan McCaffrey.😂

If someone made a thread about negative Xbox, newsworthy or not, using Twitter goofs as sources you would say something about it. You have in the past. But you have no issues with JayRock in a PSVR2 thread?! A guy that just received a “hold the line” Xbox coin from another Xbox goof…

And PSVR2 has been released of its constraints. Just not officially.

@kvallyx: this is the problem with vr, there isn't really a support base for it with traditional model that Playstation uses. You need people to buy the product and the games for developers to show interest in making more games.

Something like gamepass would make more sense for VR. Microsoft could bring in VR titles in to their rotation and this would create more exposure and more sales for VR systems.

The socialist approach just works better for things like VR

Oh yes, cows are rekkd. Wonder where solidbasic went

Thats because Ryan McCaffreys dusty PSVR2 is the source of this thread… “This news”… What news? Nothing has been discontinued. Only JayRock is insinuating such a thing the IGN guys are just bitching about poor support. Rightfully so…

Did you read the OP or just the title?

I wanted to argue this point, but I’m not sure I can. You may be on to something.

I hope not. But VR Manufacturers and game devs need to straighten up a bit here. It's a very niche market and locking things down further does VR no favours.

Sony should add PC support to the PSVR headset AND bring their existing VR games to the PC. It would make more sense at this stage to get more revenue from their VR games.

Likewise, PC VR devs should also look to support PSVR2. E.g. Valve should bring HL:A to the PS5 also. Sony permitting, The Index should also be up and running on the PS5 (really sony should also push to support any VR headset that can technically work with the PS5).

VR in general needs to be more accessible (so cheaper headsets) while also pushing the state of the art in more expensive headsets. It also, as a market, needs more content to justify the outlay.

VR is an amazing way to experience some games but the business side of it is making a mess of it at the moment.

TC has already admitted that he thinks VR is a gimmick and he also doesn’t own a PSVR 2. I wonder why he isn’t posting articles from Eurogamer about all the great coming to PSVR 2? it’s because he doesn’t actually have interest in it 🤣 there is nothing that has been any different since the system was marketed.

@ghostofgolden: why can't you argue it? This socialist approach is very common with government funding for building roads, train tracks, internet, water, electricity, military, space tech and so on.

MS can be the government and support the VR. There also needs to be more cross support for pc and Xbox. I read about meta making some kind of agreement with Xbox to bring VR, but that was last year and no new information since then.

Nope! That is something you will do. You are the one that actively follows fanatics on twitter, youtube and Resetera.

When I stated PSVR2 has not been released from its constraints it is clear to everyone but you (because you want to argue) that I am referring to officially.

And none of that changes the fact that you started to whine about Ryan McCaffrey when the person you were responding to never mentioned him.😂

So, are you done with me making you look dumb for the nth time?🙃

^the irony is real here folks :)

Hope these make up for the "JAY" tweets. Sorry @ghostofgolden

@kvallyx: Yes! use those instead of JayRock!

Instead of crying about TC you could have posted the games you are talking about.🤭

Not sure why so many on here are so against VR. It's a great medium to use in addition to traditional gaming. I was just playing Roblox on my quest 2 which was really cool. Anyone still playing racing games on a flat screen is really missing out. I can't even go back to that after playing in VR, it feels so fake. PSVR 2 came out like 3 months ago. Not sure what everyone is expecting.

Also, 156 games are confirmed for PSVR 2 already.

He responded to the OP, who didn’t post any news. 2 opinion tweets regarding the state of PSVR2. And 1 tweet from JayRock. I wasn’t whining about McCaffrey. I was asking, ”what news?” Because the only fact in any of those tweets was that McCaffreys PSVR2 was dusty…

@joshrmeyer: "PSVR 2 came out like 3 months ago. "

There seems to be no buzz around it since it's release. That's a red flag.

Sony should've had invested that money into building a proper successor to PSP/Vita than waste it on PSVR2

Instead they halfassed the PSVR2 marketing and software support and are doing an even more halfassed approach to a handheld with their streaming only handheld.

I will never understand the PlayStation hype or how they are doing so well…

your right!

I know deep down inside you believe you are making a good counter argument when none was made but it is sad to say that you are not. Stop grasping at straws and saying silly stuff. Nothing you stated addresses my comment or the comment you responded to. You just made a nonsensical rant from a knee jerk reaction. Time to take a break from the forums.😞

Not gonna happen unless Sony supports OpenXR on PSVR and PSVR2. Sony themselves are to blame for going with their proprietary standard when the rest of the industry all adopted OpenXR.

Where are the first party games? Sony didn't support the first one with first party games and the same goes for this version.

It would make sooooooo much more sense to hedge their VR strategy on PC than hedging their exclusive games on PC with ports year later ie A Rift Apart coming out recently.

Virtual Boy all over again

PC!

@joshrmeyer: Out of those 156 games how many are being made by Sony's first party studios?

Yep, GT7 VR is a totally different experience and has been highly regarded, even by the media. Oh look, it’s a first party game! Also, Horizon Call of the Mountain was a from the ground up first party game.

The third party support is also excellent with RE8 Village being totally immersive, and RE 4 Remake VR on the way. Exclusives like CR Smash, Synaspe, and Firewall Ultra. But, but, this doesn’t fulfill the doomsday narrative that the people who don’t have the system want to spread!

@SolidGame_basic: Yeah, the third party support is decent, admittedly. For me though, Firewall alone is worth the price of admission. It's one of my most anticipated games in a long time. I put an absurd amount of hours into the first Firewall. I expect to put 500+ hours into the sequel.

@SolidGame_basic: A mode for GT7 and a Horizon game that is 8hrs short 🤣

What other first party games does Sony have in the pipeline solid?

You will most likely avoid this post because it doesn't fit with your narrative.

@last_lap: Does it matter? My guess is more than MS released this year. How many first party games has MS released exclusively for the Series consoles? None that I can think of. Yet you don't say they stopped supporting the consoles. Sony has a ton of support from third parties. I don't expect them to invest a lot of resources for a device that's sold a fraction of what PS5 has. I'm happy with ports from Meta and other PC VRs. And as a racing fan yourself, you really should try a racing setup with wheel and pedals and VR. I hated racing games until GT7 with this setup. Between a PS5, PSVR 2, Logitech g29 wheel with pedals and shifter and a cage to mount it on, I dropped at least $1500. But well worth it. That's how good it is.

Sucks b/c by all accounts it was a great piece of hardware at a pretty reasonable price (relative to what's out there), it just doesn't have a lot of content which is too bad.
