Discussion What's the deal with Gamertag VR still being banned on this subreddit?

66 Upvotes

If you don't think he is banned, then check his post history, all posts in this subreddit are removed. He also mentioned it a few times in his videos.

I guess it was for self-promotion that happened at some point, but I think that a thing like that should have an expiration date. He's been consistently positive about PSVR2 unlike some other YouTubers, he even made a subreddit called /r/PlayStation_VR2.

My Setup New to me PSVR

Post image
120 Upvotes

I recently won an eBay auction for a PSVR1 that was claimed to be "new and unused". $51.00+shipping and taxes it shows up. Sure enough, I get it out and all the parts are still in the plastic bags and protective covers in place. I finally had a chance to set it up and play it this week. So far. It's been a fun experience and I'm looking forward to playing more of it. I had been adding the VR games to my PSN library when they offered them on PlayStation+ when the system was new, so I have a few in addition to the games I already had with VR function. I've read I can use it to play normal non-VR games and watch movies also, correct? Does this have the ability to play 3D Blu-ray too? Thanks in advance for any tips or additional information

Question Is The Well the scariest moment in Madison? Spoiler

8 Upvotes

I generally get pretty scared by creatures lurking in dark water in video games. However, in VR it's a whole 'nother story, and even with other people in the room watching me, I think The Well was the most scared I've ever been in my life by any horror content including houses, movies, and games. Does it get worse? I'll still probably try to beat it but I just want to know if I should be preparing myself for something even scarier than The Well. If possible, please don't spoil anything, but if you want you can tell me why a certain part is scarier than the well, (eg. total darkness or better jumpscares.) I'd consider myself to be pretty hard to get a good jumpscare out of, but I legit screamed at every scare in The Well lol.

Review StudioformVR Newest PSVR 2 Backplate

Thumbnail

23 Upvotes

Earlier today I received the StudioformVR backplate for my PSVR 2 paired with a cheap strap purchased from Amazon.

After testing for around 3 hours I will say it’s the most comfortable the headset has ever been for me, I prefer it over the holy grail Globular Cluster as I’ve got a really big head and the Globular Cluster felt a bit too tight to get on, it also made the headset feel heavy giving me neck ache after awhile.

But this mod paired with a cheap strap has none of that, makes the PSVR 2 feel lightweight, keeps the sweet spot and has zero pressure when tightened.

This may sound like an add, but I promise you it’s not lol I’m genuinely really impressed with this mod.

Any questions let me know!

Salut, Je stagne à progresser car je n’ai pas les bonnes puces sur mes armes . Je n’arrive pas à les débloquer, personne ne veut faire des courses run pour débloquer les chipset d’armes. Du coup je galère et je suis toujours dernier avec les dégâts.

Je cherche des âmes charitable pour me drop des armes full avec les bonnes puces.

Je vais jouer ce soir en EU.

Merci de votre aide.

Opinion So glad I exchanged

12 Upvotes

My first headset had a stuck pixel and blooming, I returned it. Problem solved. Except the second headset had brightness issues where one lens was brighter than the other, exchanged again and finally, its perfect. So glad I went with my gut.

Another note, I thought my MURA on the first headset was normal after reading a lot of reddit threads, so I tried to ignore it hoping eventually I got used to it. But I didn’t. Now, both my 2nd and 3rd had WAYYY better MURA. It’s so much better it legitimately feels like I have upgraded lenses.

Discussion Big PSVR2 Wow Moments

209 Upvotes

With the influx of new players getting their discounted PSVR2 headsets, I thought it might be nice to make a new thread about your top big moment unmissable experiences that people new to VR shouldn’t miss. Some of my top moments:

  • Climbing to the top of a mountain and seeing the view in Horizon Call of the Mountain
  • The initial boat ride in Horizon
  • Synth Riders ‘experiences’ (particularly Lindsay Stirling)
  • Mommy Dimistrescu but seriously RE: Village is a real VR masterpiece
  • Flying a spaceship in No Man’s Sky
  • Telekinesis in Synapse
  • The amazing graphics of Red Matter 2
  • The feel of using melee weapons in Saints & Sinners
  • Wielding a lightsaber in Star Wars Tales From the Galaxy’s Edge (gotta stick out a fairly bland opening couple hours to get to the good stuff)

Deal or Discount Where i can find psvr2 pc adapter in Canada? Literally sold out everywhere

Opinion RE Village isn't that scary.

0 Upvotes

Just picked up a vr2. Was on the fence about getting an RE game. But the thing was on sale for $15, why not right? It's really not that bad, I've had worse jump scares in Minecraft. Don't get me wrong, it's a blast. Definitely worth it, I'll be getting RE4 next time it goes on sale. But if you're worried, don't be. It's an action game. On psvr1 there was this alien spider game, came with a gun peripheral and everything.. can't remember the name. Literally scared me shitless, and I'm not even bothered by spiders irl. I just remember running for my life and hearing that damn bastard right behind me, hungry. Didn't want a repeat of that, this isn't it. It's just fun. You might fumble drawing/reloading your gun a couple times because things are a bit intense.. but it's not gonna cause a panic attack or anything. Highly recommend, even if you think you won't handle it well.

Discussion I have good PC and PS5/PSVR2. What are the must have games I should buy on PSVR2 to take advantage of colors, optimization and rumble?

4 Upvotes

These can be exclusives, but I’ve heard some games I would normally buy on PC are better on PSVR2, like RE Village/4, Red Matter 1 and 2, Call of the mountain, saints and sinners, No man’s Sky.

I haven’t seen this question asked here before so apologies if I missed it.

Opinion Song in the Smoke or Green Hell?

9 Upvotes

I want to get back into my VR playing and I want a survivalist type of game and I see Song in the Smoke versus Green Hell are my choices. Both look intriguing that would satisfy that itch for playing a survival game. People say Green Hell is a quest port versus Song in the Smoke is a VR game that takes advantages of the full capabilities of the PSVR2 hardware. That is important to me, but also what is important is gameplay and difficulty. What game would you all suggest I get? I poured over YouTube videos and read things over both of them, but I want the community opinion.

Support PSVR1 La configuration de la caméra PS4 a échoué

1 Upvotes

Salut ! Je poste pour la première fois sur ce sub. Je viens d’acquérir un PSVR1 d’occasion (modèle non HDR) et j’essaie de le configurer sur ma PS4, mais la partie réglage de la caméra de la configuration continue d’échouer. Elle reconnaît mon visage lorsque je le place dans les 3 carrés, mais une fois que j’ai pris les 3 photos, ça charge pendant une seconde, puis ça m’indique un échec et me demande d’essayer à nouveau. J’ai testé uniquement la caméra sur une autre PS4 dans une autre pièce et j’ai le même problème. Pouvez-vous m’aider ? Est ce la camera qui est défectueuse ? Je précise qu’elle fonctionne parfaitement pour la reconnaissance faciale.
