This year Sony launched and shelved a (reportedly, though with several heapings of salt) $400 million game after less than two weeks, then announced a $700 upgrade to the PS5 that doesn’t come with a disc drive. Despite these fumbles, I’ve maintained that Sony’s biggest L this year was its complete lack of support for the PS VR2, a $550 headset sold to people last year without any games. Say what you want about the PS5 Pro, but at least you can play Spider-Man 2 on it. Concord customers got a full refund when the servers shut down. Do you think Sony is going to refund PS VR2 customers? No, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:but it absolutely should.
It’s e♊mbarrassing that more than a year and a half after launching the PS VR2, it still doesn’t have any games. Beyond the launch titles Horizon Call of the Mountain, Synapse, and The Dark Pictures: Switchback, the only PS VR2 exclusives are the VR versions of Resident Evil 8, Resident Evil 4 Remake, and Gran Turismo 7. Everything else you can play on the Quest: a portable VR headset that doesn’t require a $500 console, and costs $50 less than the PS VR2.
Metro Awakening Was My Most Re𒐪ligious Experience At Gamescom
We explore the subterranea🐎n maze in the new VR entry of the Metro series. This is what we found in Aw🍒akening.
When the only VR games featured in the last State of Play were Behemoth and 🎃Alien: Rogue Incursion, it seemed like Sony had already put the PS VR2 out to pasture and was just waiting to pull the trigger. This week’s State of Play featured three different VR games, which at first might seem an improvement, but it’s the same old story: multiplatform games that ar🧜e better off played elsewhere.
First up was The Midnight Walk, a surreal fantasy-adventure game from the creators of Lost in Random. I liked (but didn’t love) Lost in Random, and The Midnight Walk’s claymation style combines the grim-dark aesthetic of Tim Burton with Laika’s signature style. I love both of those things, so I’m proba꧋bly going to like this, too. If this was a PS VR2 exclusive it would definitely have moved the needle for me, but it’s also coming to PCVR via Steam, which means I can play it on my Quest 3 via Air Link very easily.
Metro Awakening also gꦏot a trailer 🔯during the showcase. It comes from Vertigo Games, the studio behind Arizona Sunshine. It looks authentically Metro and I’m excited to play it in November, but I’ll be playing it on my Quest 3 so I don’t have to stand in my living room with a giant cable 🐻connected to my PS5. If I’m going to deal with the inconvenience of the PS VR2 it needs to offer a unique or superior experience, but in all cases of multiplatform games, you’re better off with a Quest.
The recently revealed Quest 3S is✱ a budget-friendly headset capable of playing Quest 3 exclusives. At $299, it's eve♕n more reason to trade-in the PS VR2, or more likely, never buy one in the first place.
🌊Finally, Hitman 3 VR: Reloaded is coming to PS VR2 in December. It’s been out for almost a month on the Quest. It’s bad enough that the PS VR2 can’t offer any exclusives, but waiting for new games that have already launched on other platforms is just adding insult to injury.
It’s baffling that Sony has no excᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚlusives to show a year and a half after launching the PS VR2. I can’t believe we live in a world where Meta, not PlayStation, is launching an exclusive new Batman Arkham game this year. With the Meta you get Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR, Asgard’s Wrath 2, Lego Bricktales, Sniper Elite VR, and so many more exclusives, plus the benefits of a wire-free headset. With the PS VR2, you 🔥get the occasional tacked-on VR mode for a Resident Evil game, and a bunch of broken promises.
