Holy balls.
Village is so damn intense, lol. I definitely think RE7 was more scary in VR (so far at least) but man, I played Village for an hour just now and I am completely drained. No VR sickness or anything but the adrenaline from Lady D chasing me in the catacombs just has my body crashing. Gonna sleep like a baby tonight.
Also, I was playing Runner again and I understand how the game is meant to be played now. For $15 it is an absolute steal. Comes with the OST and some prologue anime thing, haven't checked that out. It's like Road Rash, the clown chase scene in Akira, and a shmup mixed into one.

Pretty cool how developers are using the unique tech PSVR2 offers. Guess eye tracking can offer a lot more than assisting foveated rendering.

Ya, honestly, may and June won’t see me doing much VR. End of April we get Star Wars, then zelda, D4, into FF. I definitely see VR games getting put to the wayside for a bit.
Zelda/D4 is will be easiest for me to play, because I’m a pilot and I take my Switch and gaming laptop with me everywhere. The important one I need to find time for is FF16, its the one im most excited about .

Aim assist isn’t that bad. Reprojection sucks.

Hmm will check it out later today. Curious to see if I will be able to notice any difference. The game certainly needs (much) better IQ.

I love reading the RE8 and other impressions! Glad it's working out well for you now, I'm working my way on to the 3rd lord now, of 4 then a final boss I presume. Game is so great, and even better all your items, weapon upgrades, money, food and more carry over, so you get to either do a revenge run and try to collect / upgrade everything that's left (as well as getting access to the special weapons), or try the extra-hard hardcore mode with crazier enemies etc. So the game really is good for 30 hours of gameplay or more if you want it!

Button reloads are necessary if you want to sell VR games to many people. It'd be best if they gave people a choice though.

Absolutely. Is this your first time playing it? I played through it twice but have done the first 3rd of the game probably 5 or so times. It's my favorite modern RE, I just love the pacing, combat, etc. Brilliant game.
Playing it in VR completely green would be so intense, I can't imagine, lol. Lady D had me so shook and I wasn't even scared cause I can easily avoid her. VR just causes that adrenaline rush regardless, my legs and hands were shaking and shit, lol.

Yeah, my first run through! Taking my time and it's going to be one of the best gaming experiences ever for me. Some parts are just too much for my scared self to hand so I need to stop and try again, or eventually get over it by seeing what's coming, but it was only really bad at first and at lights out for House B.

I'm playing Village for the first time ever and in VR, I decided to wait for the supposed PSVR2 version and I think it paid off! I really adore playing this game, it is so polished and well done. And like

I don't see anything wrong with the points on firewall. Even the reprojection is the tradeoff for better graphics. There's already a game called pavlov and it's great. I don't mind firewall being as different as it can.
I've been wanting to try runner. While I did buy a bunch of games in my launch frenzy but I resisted starting them all up at once.

Press a button to reload is a huge bummer in Firewall Ultra.
If it was optional I'd be fine with it, but the balance there would be hard to get just right.
If I can reload faster then the canned reload animation, I'd be shitting on everyone that had the button press.
Breachers is doing a locked reload timer when reloading; where it doesnt matter if you have chambered a round and "are ready" real fast, there is still a SET TIMER / COUNTDOWN going and needs to end before you can fire.
So you know if you have time or not too push the enemy that just spent his mag before ducking away.
Firewall Ultra Could do that in combination with the optional reload.
Granted... it would be just as annyoing as it is in Breachers... where you have done the deed and have to wait for a CLOCK too finish, and hearing people pushing you.
Eyetracking for changing gadget, grenades, secondary,etc sounds annoying and unnecessary in Firewall Ultra. Just making a gimmick out of the eyetracking imo.
Let me pull out my SIDEarm from my SIDE, rather looking "Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A and Start" For my stuff, Please!
Closing my left eye to have the weapon sight come even closer to my face sounds... Okay if it was a sniper rifle(For the rendering sake), but it turning into a laser eyes sight..? Im not sure, it will be a one of a kind and I'll have too try it / see it in action first.
Having aim assist with throwing grenades will make grenades much more leathal then they are in VR as of right now.
But looking one place and pressing a THROW BUTTON in Firewall Ultra is just as a huge bummer for me as the reload bit is.
Beeing good at tossing grenades in VR takes practice, trail and error with suicide and team killing... but SOOO satisfying getting good at it. But because of it, we dont see so much nade spam(Which is a good thing).
Again... It's a one of a kind and a first(in VR with Eyetracking) so I'll not dunk on it too hard, we will see how it plays.
It got more and more against it since I first reveal imo, and depending on the actuall price of the game and how they'll manage DLC(No payed DLC maps, please!) will be another huge factor in its success.
Which is very sad, I was hyped as hell for this game...
Pavlov seems like it will continue to be King of PSVR2 shooters.
Patch soon for increasing playercount,Push game mode(Think Battlefied Bad Company push) and crossplay will probably sement it even more.

I think there are many factors at play. The latest patch for me is nowhere near as good as this. Areas in the near to middle distance are devoid of detail until I get right up close.

Shit is intense, believe me. I was terrified, but it was absolutely amazing at the same time. I was happy the section wasn't too long - just long enough! Definitely one of the most intense and memorable gaming experiences I've had. Truly physical.
Hearing your breathing and the music intensifying subtly in the 3D pulse headset, together with the vibrations in the headset.. Yeah it sets the mood.

I know PSVR1 looked exactly like that video in terms of quality. Either way, you can clearly see the draw distance is incredibly improved.
Good to know. Maybe will buy it next month or the next time it's on discount.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Missed this got ported to PSVR2 the other day.
Most of the games posted of here on the Quest thread (I'm just using it as a general VR thread since Quest works on PC too and there's nothing better on Gaf) are coming to PSVR2 too.

A PSVR2 SoP would be nice. Even better, a big, juicy PSVR2 segment on the next supposed PlayStation showcase would be ace. Sony has been so silent the last few years abour everything, hopefully this means they also have great things coming for the PSVR2. I need moar (like I have free time to play anything lol)

I played Village for like 7 hours yesterday. Pretty much two 3.5 hour chunks
It's so good, and no motion sickness! It's insane, I expected a little here and there but nope, just steady gaming.
Mill Mini-Boss in Village. Probably the most intense thing in the game I've experienced so far. May not look like it but that dude was moving fast and the 3D audio, dude sounded like he was right behind me. Truly panic inducing and trying to manually reload
. You can see the shotgun shaking wildly cause of my trembling hands.
I feel like we gotta do our part to get footage out there. Haters already being negative about stuff and it's 2 months old. Gotta showcase the experience that it provides cause it really is unlike anything else. PSVR2 is ballin' outta control.

Anyone else notice that the PS5 captures/streams incredibly dark gameplay footage? I'm trying to figure out how to adjust it cause streaming PSVR2 and going back and watching it, the footage is basically unwatchable because it's so damn dark. The clip I posted up above, I had to put some filter on it in the PS5 editing software to make it so you could see what in the world was actually happening.
The TV I'm hooked up to now doesn't have HDR but I'm gonna hook it up to the one that does and adjust the HDR settings and then capture some footage to see if it changes anything.
On a somewhat related note, I feel like it's the same thing, with RE4make preview footage looking waaaaaaaaaaaay too dark. It's bizarre but if anyone knows a way to brighten it up, please let me know. Really want to present this in the best way possible, even if nobody is watching, lol.

Not sure why your recordings looks weird. I don't generally record using the PS5 itself, but an Elgato instead and the footage through that looks normal.
I might record some using the PS5 tonight to see if I notice anything.
Are your Color Range settings messed up? Although I would that that wouldn't affect the PS5 footage itself, but maybe how it's viewed on the TV or monitor.

I figured it out just now. It's the HDR settings within the PS5. I actually had it adjusted in a wonky way cause my OLED is already bright enough, so when following the on screen prompts, the image was super washed out on my TV. I adjusted it a bit and then went and checked some PS5 captured footage, it looks much better now.
However, this leaves me wondering what PSVR2 owners can do if they don't own a HDR capable TV? The HDR adjust settings within the PS5 can't be adjusted on a non-HDR TV (obviously) and they can't be adjusted within the headset itself (unless I'm wrong but the option is greyed out).
I have elgato too but it's so much easier to capture commentary with the PSVR2 mic. I have a blue yeti mic but standing up and playing Village, commentary sounds terrible. It's tough to stream VR, can't monitor shit in elgato/OBS, lol.

Yeah HDR settings can get wonky sometimes. I actually just turn HDR off most of the time.
As for recording commentary while playing VR, the best option is either those recording devices with a mic clipped to your shirt or a standalone "attachment" mic like a ModMic.

Absolutely, I need to invest in a lavalier mic at some point, especially for VR streams. If I do use elgato/obs for VR, I make myself transparent for the most part so people can at least see what I'm doing but it also blends in with the game.
HDR is wonky indeed, I'm still not completely sold on HDR but my pal
Kuranghi
clued me into why it looked so washed out and his recommendation with the settings resolved it completely. Dude is the TV guru.

I stopped messing with hdr on my tv. It's one of those cheap tcl ones. I have to mess with the settings forever to get one game looking good, and then it's probabaly not a good setting for the next game. Not only that, but it never looks anywhere near as good as a nice tv's hdr so it's not worth it.

Which TCL do you have? I have a R365 and it has good HDR overall. Just so many games implement it horribly so I get tired of messing with settings. For the price I paid, this thing has been fantastic.

I guess I'm lucky - I always feel like everything looks perfect to me on my HDTV - Samsung Q90T. It took a while to get it how I wanted, but what worked best for me was to take a half dozen movies I'm very familiar with (both animated and live action, and both in 4k HDR and regular HD), then calibrate both the HD settings and HDR settings until all the movies looked absolutely perfect to me, this was getting the black to where I wanted and I could still see details, getting the greens to pop and look like a nice green, while still keeping all the skin tones not looking like glowing pumpkins and all the blues and reds and everything else to be right too. Sometimes I'd think I had it all figured out then I flip one of the sources over to the preset Vivid or other mode and certain things would look way better (but others way worse), so I kept tweaking my profiles until everything was perfect. Now I know it's done, and never have to think about it again until I get a new TV lol.

Yeah, I find this to be an issue on all PS5 content (VR or not) if HDR is on. If I know I'll be recording, I turn the in-game brightness up and HDR off.

Nah you get XP after every floor you complete. 150xp for the first floor, 350 for the second one and 500 for the boss.
Note also that xp is only used to unlock cosmetics.
