Surprised we don't have anything going on this topic. See if it goes anywhere, but I came here to ask for support on the Oculus/Quest.
Family got me a Quest 2 for my bday. I've been holding out for the next release and/or PSVR2, but eh, I'll take it!
Suggestions for best games to play on it?
I picked up a few accessories too:
- Strap with Battery and Carrying Case - https://www.amazon.c...
- Fat Sweaty Man Visor - https://www.amazon.c...
Any others I should be looking at?
Thanks!

@citizen_zane this is awesome news, had no idea. I have Tetris Effect on my Oculus and will definitely check this out. Thanks for the heads up!
Safe to assume a PS5 controller would work as well yeah?

Thanks for the info! Dualsense is the PS5 controller, was wondering if it works similarly

You would think so, but I have no idea. From what I have read, it sounds like some XBox controllers are easiest to connect to it.

There isn't much (or any?) PlayStation VR discussion in here but that's the only one I have access to, so just ignore this post if you don't have one.
I was browsing the PlayStation Store last night and saw a new Transformers VR game had released last week. I can't find too many reviews on YouTube from the channels I normally look to for VR reviews and there are none on Metacritic.
Anyone here played it? It looks to be exclusive to PlayStation VR and that'll limit its audience more than just being a VR game already does. I watched a few videos and I guess it's an on-rails arcade style shooter. I don't know if I want to pay $20 for it because VR games are often short as it is, and I don't know how much replay value I'd get out of it.

I honestly haven’t even turned my PSVR on since I got Quest 2 in January
But that’s mostly due to a softly annoying setup I have (while quest is wireless and perfectly free of such troubles), I do plan on going back to it soon, still have like 10 exclusives I wanna rock on there
And ill def buy PSVR 2, just wish it was fully wireless but one wire isnt too bad i guess

I haven't played much PSVR this year either, but especially in Summer I often avoid using it because of how hot you get when wearing the headset.
Despite not using it much this year I've still been buying games for it here and there during PSN sales, got probably around 20-ish games (haven't actually counted) that haven't been played a single time yet. I'll be moving next month and I hope to get more VR time in after I've settled in. My only complaint is that because I have the original PSVR, the box thingy that connects to the PS4/PS5 prevents me from being able to have HDR enabled on my TV. I don't know if they sell the Version 2 of that connector box thingy on its own (not even sure what it's called).

Yeah, I believe the v2 PSVR box did allow for HDR passthrough. But don't quote me on that, it's been awhile.
I find myself thinking about playing my Quest 2 more than I actually want to play it. I just really need to be in the right mood I guess. But I do always enjoy it. And I do keep my eye out for sales a lot.

Yeah. The version 2 one does have HDR passthrough.

Leak appears to show Meta's Quest Pro headset a month ahead of launch
An 'engineering sample' was reportedly left in a hotel room.

I'm expecting it to be pretty good...but damn expensive. Definitely going to wait and see.

I finally managed to find a review of that Transformers VR game I mentioned. Absolutely going to pass on it at $20. There are only six stages and it took the reviewer barely an hour to finish playing through them on the default difficulty.
In addition to that, the game doesn't even have Trophies. I game a lot on my Switch so I am used to playing through games without any Trophies/Achievements, but I thought those are a requirement when releasing your game on the other consoles? I don't know how they got around it.
Anyway, looking forward to new info/games for PSVR 2 tomorrow.

A look at some of the new features of PS VR2.
https://www.youtube....
Do any of the VR headsets on PC offer built-in rumble? That sounds like a feature that could either be awesome, or it's gonna take too long for devs to figure out how to use it right without causing potential headaches for the player.
I noticed RE 8 footage is included. I own Resident Evil VIII on PS4 but haven't played it yet. Now I'm just gonna wait and see if it is getting re-released on PS5 as a standalone VR game, or some kind of DLC expansion, or if the current version will get a free update that adds it. I almost expect it would be a re-release because Capcom really likes selling you their games over and over.
Either way, the first time I played RE 7 was in VR mode and after that decided I would never play it without VR, so I'm glad I waited so I can do the same for RE 8.

The Valve Index was $1k over 2 1/2 years ago when it came out. So $1500 isn't that crazy of a price if this is truly is a high-tier product. But I just don't think it is, or will sell well.
The Quest became popular because of the price and the vast game library...well, because of the price. Take away "the deal" and this new set is a big ask.

I think you’re really underestimating the whole pick up and play, standalone, wireless aspect

Having a PC makes that library as large as the Index.
