I love VR ports. As long as they're done well, keep 'em coming. The difference between playing RE7, for example, flat vs in VR is really notable.

This looks decent. Besides RE8 and that on-rails shooter I'm forgetting the name of that was like a sequel to Rush Of Blood, are there any notable horror games on PSVR2 yet? And has that on-rails shooter been patched up yet compared to the state it launched in?

anyone remember the name of the wilderness crafting survival game? It's not song of smoke, it was a newer one not out yet with better graphics.
EDIT: Nevermind found it by browsing past state of play, that's where I thought I saw it. Def gonna wait for this one.

Operation Wolf Returns: First Mission VR is out and it doesn't seem to be very good. Every time an on-rails VR shooter is released and ends up not being very fun, I feel like Sega and Namco are missing out on some easy money by not bringing over Time Crisis, Virtua Cop or House of the Dead to VR. They even released a House of the Dead Remake last year and were too stupid to put VR support in the PS4 version.
This reviewer ended up getting the platinum trophy in 2 hours and says even on the hard difficulty it was still too easy.

I finally saw a PSVR2 in the wild. They had one left at Walmert. Unfortunately it was the base unit and not the one that comes bundled with the Horizon game, so it was a lot easier to resist the temptation.
Are there any PSVR2 purchases you guys have made that you regret? Everyone asks for the hidden gem recommendations and stuff, but what about games you think people should avoid? Or is it still too soon for there to be many of those?

I don't have one yet and have been keeping an eye on the titles being released. It's been quiet, no?
Not a lot has caught my interest and having a Quest 2 makes the PSVR2 even less of a must-have right now. Gonna wait a year and a price drop then catch up on the games I missed.

I've been trying to keep up with new releases, I'm really just waiting for an excuse to pull the trigger and buy one. Horror games are what I'm most interested in, so I'm checking reviews on YouTube each time a new one gets released, but there aren't enough good ones yet. This might be one area where it might be smarter to look into PC VR instead, but I'll always be more of a console guy.
In the mean time I'm going through my unplayed PSVR1 games, which is likely in the range of 20-25 games at this point because I keep buying more in PSN sales. But it just sucks playing VR in summer time, so I try to keep the play sessions short.

I got the base model just because all of my systems complete with the box are original base model styles and don't include a pack in or bundle. Except systems like Wii of course, where it was standard. But thats more a collecting continuality quirk of mine.

| The world has stopped. Time is frozen. All attempts to make contact with the aliens have failed. Special Agents have been deployed to neutralize the threat once and for all. Humans call the aliens: Mannequins. Mannequin is an asymmetric multiplayer game for up to 5 players, filled with suspense, social deduction and fast, sudden action. Play as alien Mannequins and set up deadly ambushes by posing as humans frozen in time, or as human Agents and wield high tech gadgets to neutralize the Mannequins from a distance. |

Anyone play anything good on this thing recently? Or anyone start to feel like they might've bought one too soon and it hasn't been getting enough use?
I'm thinking I'll finally pick one up in early-mid January. I've been holding off because I feel like the library really isn't quite there yet to justify the price, but I'm convinced there's enough good games coming in 2024 that it might be worth it to just get it early and play the few good games already out while I wait for some of the new ones. Plus my birthday and Christmas coming up, I've made it clear I only want gift cards, so I expect that might help cover maybe $150-$200 of the cost.
What's the battery life like on the VR2 Sense controllers? I've reached the point where one of my PS Move controllers doesn't seem to hold a charge as long as the other, but since VR games are not long anyway, I've never had it die on me in the middle of a play session.

So, I haven't played as much as I wanted to, but I've enjoyed everything I've played so far (Horizon: Call of the Mountain, The Light Brigade, Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge, and Kayak). Of those, Kayak was my least favorite (although still neat), and I had the most fun with The Light Brigade. I don't personally feel like I bought it too soon. I still have 40+ games in my backlog that I bought but haven't gotten around to playing yet (just because there have been a buncn of great non-VR games out recently (Diablo IV, Baldur's Gate III, etc.). The battery life on the Sense controllers hasn't been an issue for me, but, then again, the most I've played at a time is a few hours. I haven't had them die on me yet.
In terms of stuff to play, Resident Evil 4 Remake's VR mode comes out as a free upgrade on December 8th. I'm really looking forward to that one.

I remember you mentioning The Light Brigade before. I don't know much about it but just put it in my wishlist now.
I've heard on Discord that the VR2 Sense controllers can last around 4-5 hours, but that they charge really fast, like it'll only take 15-20 minutes to recharge fully. If true, that's great and I wish the regular DualSense charged that fast because its got about the same amount of battery life.

Nice. Take my recommendation with a little bit of a grain of salt though, because I love roguelites, and The Light Brigade is one. Also, the controls take some getting used to. That being said, it's pretty addictive and has some great boss fights. The platinum was tough, but I powered through it, because even when I had a hard time with some runs, it has that "just one more time" quality to it.

Arizona Sunshine II reviews are out and it's currently at 81 on Metacritic. It seems to be less janky than the original (which was one of the most janky/buggy PSVR games I've played), but overall after watching and reading some reviews I'm not convinced I want to spend $50 on it.
The co-op mode in the campaign seems fun, but the horde mode only has one map and it's the same one from the first game, and apparently takes upwards of 30 minutes before it becomes challenging. On the plus side it makes good use of the haptics, and the campaign is approximately 7 hours long, I feel like I want to support developers that make VR games that last more than just 2 or 3 hours because that's often my biggest complaint with VR games.

If anyone is looking to add another PSVR2 game to their collection, Best Buy's deal of the day today is Gran Turismo 7 on PS5 for $30. I'm not big into racing sims, but I'm gonna be desperate for some VR games to play in a few weeks when I pick up my PSVR2, so I ordered GT7 since I know they did it right this time and made the whole game playable in VR, unlike last-gen.

Oof, as more reviews trickle in for Arizona Sunshine II the score has dropped to 75 now. Oh well. I still wanna play it though, but this is making me feel I'm right for not wanting to spend $50 on it.
Anyways, has Sony gone in-depth on what their long-term plans for PSVR2 are? Like, is it always just meant for playing games and that's it? From my understanding you can do lots more with PC VR headsets. Even on the original PlayStation VR there are apps where you could watch VR videos and 3D movies (even the adult kind if you really wanted to), and the YouTube app had the option to watch videos in 360°, but you can't do any of that in PSVR2 (yet). I wish they would address this. Of course the games are first and foremost the reason I'll be buying it in a few weeks, but at the price they're charging it'd be nice if it could do other things too. I'm hoping for something big planned in February to celebrate the first year anniversary, like maybe putting a few games on the PS+ Extra tier, that'd be nice and maybe help justify the recent price hike a little.

Ven VR Adventure released today at $20. I don't expect it to be on the same level as Astro Bot on the old PSVR, but this looks like it'll be nice to play after I get through RE 8 and RE 4. Is this the first 3D platformer on PSVR2 or are there others I should be looking at?
