Sony one Ian Higton.
Look, here’s the deal.
Chances are, previous PSVR owners will make up the majority of people who have pre-ordered the PSVR2.
This process is incredibly simple and streamlined compared to the initial setup of the original PSVR.
It’s as easy as that.
It’s just a really nice touch that adds a bit of Astrobot-style charm to the proceedings.
There’s no such calibration necessary for the Sense Controllers.
Just press the PS button to pair them once the headset is on and calibrated and you’re done.
It really is that streamlined.
The controversial PSVR2 to PS5 cable really isn’t much of a bother either.
The best way to experience audio is still with a separate pair of wireless headphones, mind.
The views from the tops of the peaks in Horizon Call of the Mountain demonstrate this point perfectly.
I can’t stress enough how good its visuals look compared to anything the PSVR could manage.
Where the headset is lacking, though, is with field of view.
Again though, it’s something you’ll only see really when you’re looking for it.
Once I was fully immersed in a game, I totally forgot they were there.
Like the DuelSense controller’s haptics it varies from game to game.
The Sense Controllers have haptics too and it’s a similar situation.
No Astrobot, noHalf-Life: Alyx.
Hell, there isn’t even a PlayStation Worlds style demo disc included in this one.
Which is a shame, because I’m in love with the hardware itself.
Read my fullHorizon Call of the Mountain reviewhere.
Jurassic World Aftermath Collection- Starts off painfully slowly before becoming something akin to an Alien Isolation-lite.
The storybook world that you and your mousey-pal Quill inhabit looks freaking gorgeous through the PSVR2.
Kayak VR: Mirage- Probably one of the most realistic-looking VR games I’ve ever played.
The graphics really aren’t up to much and I honestly didn’t notice any haptics happening.
By which I mean, boring and a bit of a chore to play.
