But why?
For the lauch there are already more games than what can be digested by the tiny niche of early adopters. A state of play now could only show in more depth games already announced, but they would never announce more games now. Especially the future few important ones, which have to be managed in order to announce them at critical times.
A state of play with new big games announched now would not improve initial sales significantly, but would leave important moments in the future empty.

I bought a PS5 and all it had that maps to your criteria is demon souls! In 2 years that's grown to returnal and ratchet!
On top of that, having full VR implementations of Gran Turismo and resident evil is a little different than having the same game at a higher frame rate on a flat screen. It's closer to a new game.

It's not about "getting it", it's that we've all heard the same shtick and concerns before.

Moreso what the future holds, i'm very happy with the launch window but for PS5 and VR2 we don't know much past march/april other than spiderman 2But why?

When was the last true playstation showcase? It feels like forever ago, surely they are going to have a huge one for psvr and 2023....they must have games for the first half right?

It has been announced that Sony will no more announch games too far from release, to not put burden on developers and to lessen the risk of an unannounced delay. That surely includes PSVR 2, so they will probably announce titles only when they are relatively close to release.

100 in development but how many will actually release?

You left your Xbox worshipping threads to come shit on a Playstation thread?
How original...
Horizon, GT7, Resident Evil are demos?
Indie hating also? Because they are smaller experiences, they are not worth being called full games?

It makes sense for first games to be ported games from PSVR1 or Quest.
PS5 is 2.5 years old, psvr2 dev kits have probably only been out 1 year. You can't have full 3rd party games developed from scratch for it in just 1 year. It's an opportunity for devs that released PSVR1 and Quest games to port the games with enhancements for PSVR2 , while getting familiar with the hardware at the same time and make some extra money.
You have to wait 1 or 2 more years for games that aren't just quick ports and really take advantage of the hardware.

I already edited my post and lowered my expectation to 20 of the 100 games. My plan is to wait 1 year or so anyways, if i can resist.

110, maybe a 1000. Who knows? But more than 100 are in development at this current point in time.

What people aren't hearing here is that this means that a lot of games are getting VR modes like Gran Turismo 7.
This makes a lot of sense and it's pretty easy to get to 100.
You take 10 major companies Sony + 9 and let's say Sony's making 20 VR games and the rest are making 80.
Divide the 80 by 9 and round up a bit (as they did say over) that's 9 titles a piece.
say 5 games that have VR modes and 4 games that are full VR titles.
That's not a lot, especially once you double the number of developers from 9 to 18, which brings the total number of games per dev to closer to 4.

Don't expect anything except PSVR until the Activion deal is done.

The Activision deal might be done as soon as this week. Microsoft has about two months to pull out of this deal to save 500 million dollars.
I think we will have a PlayStation showcase scheduled for May that will include Spider-Man 2, Final Fantasy 16, and TLOU Online.

Going for what? If the CMA moves to block this without remedies, it's over.
EC will probably offer remedies, but they'll be stark like divesting from COD. We're going to know a lot more by the end of the week, and things will start moving around that.

How many of those are actually just ports being made of games that have already been released for years now?
Why would ports of games not playable before on playstation (Quest games), or PSVR1 games be a bad thing?
You think everyone buying psvr2 has pcvr and PSVR1 already?

If the CMA comes out against this, it's absolutely over. You can read articles about the CMA and British courts... They aren't going to overrule the CMA, unlike the FTC they have pretty wide-sweeping powers.
Once it is clear that you aren't going to be victorious, you have to cut out early. Losing half a billion dollars when you're already struggling financially (xbox, not microsoft) over something that is done and done, makes no sense.
They'll fight it til April maybe, but they'll pull out.

It’s padding a bs pr message of “ in development “ which leads people to think NEW games.

I never for a second thought that all of the 100 games were brand new developments.
I guess I'm more realistic than most....

Hopefully at least 50% of them.
More like 80-90% will be just be ports of games u can already play on another vr device at the min, would love sony for once knock it out the park with the psvr2 but can just see a repeat of the first one a big push at the launch, then odd game every yr from sony to push the hardware otherwise games from third parties which youll get on other vr devices

How many are ports of old Quest games?

Why does it matter? content is content, many PlayStation owners wont have played these Quest games, and of the Quest games that are being made they are sometimes (most times?) enhanced over the Quest version.

Agreed. I personally think they did away with the showcase. It was never said they would continuously do them.
Of course, it would be cool to see the future of games. But the way they're announcing games and releasing them with mini dives leading up to release has been just enough. For me anyway.

Not as many as you hope, warrior.
I should start making a list of the super concerned for PSVR2.

Gun Club and Swarm would be a couple games definitely worth porting to PSVR2.
It's lame that people are shitting on arcade-like experiences for VR. Those are the best imo. When people start qualifying only "AAA", full console style games as "true games" it makes me question how much they even play or care about VR. Most "AAA" style games(outside of driving/flying sims) would be hell to play in VR for any extended period of time.

I don’t understand those complaining about quest ports tbh. What difference does it make? I reckon the percentage of PS5 owners that own/have owned a quest as well is incredibly small.
Personally, I’ve only ever played a golf game (it was great) on my brothers quest, so there are a ton of games I haven’t played. I’m sure that’s the same for most early adopters of psvr2.

It's most likely they either had a quest or a psvr one if they had anything at all. I suspect a large proportion will have never owned a VR.
That aside, I thought little upgrades to multiplatform games was justifying new consoles. This thing is a vastly from the quest and hardly even comparable to psvr one. I really doubt many of the perspective buyers had any of the thousand plus dollar headsets that are near this tier.
