Rorschach Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I wonder if they might go back on the decision, seems plenty of people are upset. I feel like a lot of games would work just fine with the new controllers, even though they are very different, because many VR titles offer quite simple levels of interactivity. I don't see how the change in tracking tech would be a dealbreaker either, surely games were abstracted enough away from the detail of how it worked that a shim could be put in place? Maybe some games literally wouldn't be playable without creating a version specifically for the new hardware. But that doesn't stop them from whitelisting all the other games. There aren't that many to go through and test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the tracking tech is too different (debatable) they could still let you run the old games if you kept the camera The PSVR headset has lights on the front for tracking. PSVR 2 doesn’t, so keeping the camera wouldn’t be much use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strafe Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I know that Firewall Zero Hour is getting a PSVR2 upgrade. No idea if that will be free or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesnwmn Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Tracking tech too different 🤣 Must be a nightmare for every VR dev having to code sensor level tracking for each platform out there. Surely almost everything is using an API to give them positional information and there's no reason for this not to provide a compatibility layer for that. Warning that some games might suffer a few issues would be fine but this is just such a slap in the face for their fans. Of course I'm sure offering support would cost Sony money but it's so "them". See an opportunity to make a joke or your own "for the players" tag line and take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vemsie Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 It sounds awesome. And as I don't want to give Facebook any money, I've decided to put all my VR-eggs in this basket, no matter the price. Just announce Alyx and Astro Bot: Rescue Mission 2 already. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK-1601 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I'm a big PSVR1 evangelist and I don't care at all that PSVR2 isn't backward compatible. It's pretty obvious even from what we've seen so far that it's a massive leap forward on all fronts (it's a much bigger jump than pancake PS4 > PS5), and they're going to be pushing it harder from the outset. Everything that stands up in the PSVR1 library (which isn't much if we're being honest) will get ported quickly (and I expect Sony will be incentivising devs to do this). As long as we get a 4K version of Paper Beast I'm happy. If we finally get a space combat sim that doesn't look like a Thunderbirds episode running on a PS1 so much the better. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, this is Bethesda we're talking about. If they think they can get money from it, they will. I'd be tempted to do go through it all again despite having it in VR on PC.

Yeah - be nice if they could sort it out and do a Skyrim enhanced (something I think we'll see a lot of early doors). If Sony coughed up for it getting done, it's cash for them and they're not competing in the space anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferine Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 The 'source' of that rumour seems like a whole lot of nothing. It's especially dubious given it's framed as Sony buying the publishing rights, which doesn't make any sense. That said, I do think Alyx will come to PSVR2 as it's a sensible move for all involved. The only reason I wouldn't consider it a sure thing is because it's Valve, who will leave money on the table if they feel like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
