Was expecting a low score from Bryan... Good surprise

Playstation should make a version of Helldivers 2 for PSVR 2/PCVR.

The more I think about it, it would actually easily work mechanically and would be epic as it gets.

It's so dumb, the fact that Sony hasn't figured out a way to make the headset an extension of the camera.

A full VR mode is clearly more ideal but just imagine flat gamers having their minds blown by the simple perspective shift, release that as a taste and then announce a full conversion is being worked on. It would get so many people talking about how cool VR is, "Dude, I'm in the game, for real, I'm in the game!"

I agree.

That game in particular would translate beautifully. Almost all the mechanics could be moved over to VR and would obviously be an amazing VR co-op expierence and the PSVR2 doesn't have many of those. It actually makes perfect sense, it wasn't even that expensive to develop in the first place.

It's a match made in heaven as far as I'm concerned.

You could combine top-down RTS elements with in-the-action third/first person stuff on the fly.

I picked up System Critical II.

Not gonna play it for a while but it seems like it'll be a cool Mega Man style throwback. It's supposed to be balls difficult. Developer loves to toss that detail out there and Quest reviews say the same.

Akka Arrh now on VR2!!!!



One of my favorite games last year - so so good.

Hope we’re getting more Llamasoft ports onto VR2 - especially Polybius.

Another game for my backlog lmao

Too scary for me, I'll pass haha. I still have a huge backlog anyway.

"Stonebrick says the PSVR 2 version uses 8K textures through Unreal Engine and eye-tracking support for foveated rendering. cyubeVR also includes official PS5 mod support. letting you "browse, download and install custom mod blocks created by the cyubeVR community" with hundreds of blocks available."

This one has caught my attention because I love the visual style. I just hope the game has plenty of depth.

Nice to hear they improved the performance and visuals (wonder how much it impacted the PSVR2).

I remember you asking about this game. Did you get it? If yes, is it any good?

Which would imply between 1.5 and 2 million sales. Not a failure at all if so.

Yep, I did. It is surprisingly good and they keep adding content. Will try the new tracks soon, but more excited about the new tournament mode (the game needs more of that!). The game isn't the sharpest, but it is damn fine in terms of resolution. Plus, the native 90hz is far superior than the terrible reprojection the game had before. If you like kart games à lá Mario Kart, this is a cool one in VR.

If this is indeed correct, I must say I'm pretty fine with it! Much, MUCH better than what we have been hearing lately (which is why I usually don't pay much attention to those kind of reports).

Genitype was just announced to release on the 23 March for PSVR2. Apparently its a metroidvania shooter with unique weapons with a 8-10 hours campaign. It initially launched on Quest and was pretty well received, and got a patch that fixed most of the gameplay issues.

Could not find any PSVR2 trailer or video, so here is the launch trailer for Quest:



Could be cool tbh.

Developer of cyubeVR has AMA on reddit and I asked what was performance gain of using dynamic foveated rendering, he replied:

Very hyuge! Hard to put a number on it, but at least 2x. Without it, cyubeVR would not have worked at all on PSVR2, it's by far the most important feature of the PSVR2!

I kinda feel like it's gotta be super easy to put a number on, no?

Just disable it and get the framerate, what, like 10fps? Sure. Then turn it back on, have it be 90fps again, and there you go. 900% improvement with FR.

Just showed the trailers to my girlfriend (she loves lego and is a junior architect) and she really liked it.

I think we are gonna spend the evening playing it :d

Psvr2 version seems to be really great!

Awesome to hear Cyube is a great game!

Never heard of this but it looks pretty good.

In the end we decided to go with 7th Guest instead of Cyube for tonight, but I am definitely interested to buy it soon (and pretty hyped to play 7th Guest!)

I'm pretty sure that it cannot be reduced to a single number like frame rate: it surely affects a balance of frame rate, resolution, and various rendering aspects.

I don't actually believe if effects rendering does it? Like outside the ETFR there's no shadows, the models are lower quality, the SSAO is off, etc. I am not aware it can do stuff like that.

That's why when you watch someone using ETFR you can see where they're looking by the clarity vs everywhere else being way lower res, at least that's the impression I got. It's not like objects suddenly vanish away or anything I don't think, I feel that would be jarring in game. So I believe it's only res?

I don't think ETFR can effect frame rate either, like the area you're looking is going to be the same framerate as the part outside as well.

So afaik I think it's only resolution. That's easy enough. If the area in the FR is say 200% native res, then that's what I'd use to compare it against, the entire game rendering at 200% native res. After all, that's going to give an identical experience, as ETFR cannot be detected in the headset itself (at least not without trying, it's definitely not seen as a negative anyway).

There's no fixed use for foveated rendering: It's up to the developer to relocate the newfound avaliable computational resources. It can be on resolution, frames, or rendering GPU operations. We had some good examples on some PSVR2 games before.
Most of times it's used just for resolution and/or frame rate, but it's apretty flexible tool. And developers can also tweak it, making it more or less "aggressive" (increasing or reducing the high quality area, and tweaking the quality of the out-of-fovea area. For example, it's quite subtle in Village, but it's very aggressive on NMS.
Resolution is just defined by a number of rendered pixels: you can choose to have that per second number in less but higher-res screenshots, or you can have more frames but with lower res screenshots (I didn't use the word "frame" to not making it confusing speaking also of frame rate).
But still, it's just a way to save general computational power. It can be used in different things. Res and frame rate are just the easiest ones to intervene on.
It's also possible to compare a full res, full rendered screenshot in terms of number of operations needed to render it, and compare it to the foveated rendered same screenshot, calculating how much less operations were done in the lower res, simpler lighted, etc. zones.
It's really a magic way to create a visual result way above the real power of the hardware itself.

7th guest is very cool after 1 hour of play (I wanted to play more but the gf had motion sickness). Could have been sharper but the graphics are really great too, and its somewhat stunning to see all these real actors appear on screen.

It's funny how I don't care about puzzle games at all for flat games, but absolutely love them in VR.

I don't think it uses foveated rendering, otherwise it would look super crisp. Too bad as it would make it looks amazing. The puzzles were way too complicated for me though and the clues weren't that helpful.

I don't care about them in flat, but in VR it's a whole different beast: the way we interact with the puzzles is far superior than in any other medium. I love it! Puzzles are way more interesting and enjoyable in VR.

Waiting for Vertigo 2 to make into such a list, as apparently its not great on PSVR2.

Visually it won't get any better. I saw the dev mentioning on X that Vertigo 2 was made on older version of unity that doesn't support foveated rendering..

I have not played the game but many dont use foveated rendering and look way sharper than Vertigo 2. My biggest issue tho is framerate, they are really a problem for me in VR, and foveated would not really help for that I guess.

Perp just decided to go cheap on the port and the optimisation is not there, it's a shame.

I am still hoping for a patch.
