It's not out yet, and has no price or release date.
Not defending Quest 2 though, because like I said in my other post, I returned it within 24 hours. Just not really fair to compare specs in such a negative way (or claim a 'win') when one is a year old product and the other is a year in the future product. That said, fuck Facebook/Meta.
I played with the cord, it was super annoying. Excusable for a first gen device, but my next device will be wireless.
There are like a couple of really good games on all platforms (psvr/oculus/pc) and it's a pain in the ass. Oculus has a bit of an advantage with valve allowing oculus hardware to get the best of 2 worlds. People always just think HL Alyx is the only good thing on pc. If your into sims and cockpit games you have a whole lot of options to lose yourself in. I think there is a good chance this could get psvr2 ps5 update, and it could knock gt7 off the top step for best console vr sim. Yeh im pretty sure gt7 will have vr support, it's a pretty common thing in pc sims now and the genre is one of the easiest to implement.
James Sawyer Ford What do you think? Looks like all the rumored specs were true and this thing is a monster.
They are probably saving the headset form for the official unveiling with release date and price.
Yep. $400 just seems too low for what we are getting. Especially considering the 1st iteration was $400 at start.
I don't think oculus will make another wired device, and cambria could be pushing boundries like AI assisted foveated rendering and full body tracking.
They nailed every single hardware aspect that I hoped for (especially eye tracking for foveated rendering). Now the worse possible error that they could still make is selling a PSVR2 sku without controllers. That would force developers to develop the games with the minimum version in mind: regular controller. That would be the death of dedicated controls gameplay: it would only be used for optional gameplay aspects. But consoles, unlike PC (which has to keep in mind every possible configuration), have the chance to develop a gameplay for a fixed control system, and the more potentiality it has, the more complex and varied the gameplay can be.
I absolutely love my Quest 2, and for me PSVR2 is a failure before it launches. The absolute best thing about the Quest 2 is I just grab it, throw it on my head, and it auto boots and is ready to go in half a second. No turning on a TV, worrying about cables, turning on a console etc.
On point!
If PSVR2 will use the same sub pixel tech of psvr, it will have a significantly clearer and sharper image compared to Quest 2 (which still uses a common pixel form).
PSVR looked incredibly blurry, owing to its very low PPR counts. The PSVR's custom sub-pixel arrangement - including higher density toward the centre of the screen - prevents the screen-door effect, with only a minimal difference to the actual clarity of the rendered image.
Cool. This means nothing. The PSVR has foveated rendering, done in software. The edges of the image are rendered at lower resolutions, with the centre of the image rendered at a higher resolution. What everyone is curious about is eye-tracked foveated rendering. This was the original definition of foveated rendering. This technique allows the image to render the precise point on the image your eyes are looking at a higher resolution, and the other areas at a lower resolution. This provides a good performance win, while ensuring every part of the image appears crystal clear to the player. If PSVR2 had this, Sony would be trumpeting it.
Not on par, way better.
I doubt it. I bet they are using a display port ult mode to achieve higher bandwidth. It was almost a thing on pc using virtual link, but it was only ever released on 20 series non super cards. Nvidia didn’t put in on 30 series cards and amd never released a card with usb c virtual link.
Ok... how is it "way better" than the Quest 2? I already posted above the screen differences.
I didn't think it was necessary to state that PSVR2 will have an higher resolution. The point is that at the same resolution, the sub pixel setup of PSVR is clearer and sharper. It's old news and it's just the result of that tech. You can find it in every review at the time. The screen will be also an OLED, with HDR, which are both another level of quality, compared to what you can find now.
Nope.
Quest 2
You're bouncing between topics, and aren't really clarifying anything. The customised sub-pixel alignment of the PSVR screen limits the screen door effect. This is what the reviews talk about. PSVR has, for its pixel count, basically no screen door effect - an incredibly impressive piece of engineering. It doesn't magically conjure additional pixels to display additional visual information, improving clarity.
Nothing you've written here addresses my post. We don't know if PSVR2 has eye-tracked foveated rendering, but it's such a massive feature that I doubt Sony wouldn't be talking about it if they had it. We'll wait and see, but as it stands right now, they don't claim to have it.
