Sony's Shuhei Yoshida: "I'm Sorry I Was Wrong" About PlayStation VR2

Now imagine they had rediverted all that GAAS money in to developing games for VR.

Because that's what it will require for VR to go to the next level in terms of adoption, a company to take risks and really invest in games for the platform.

Jimbo made it clear that if it's not easy money, Sony's not interested. They're pretending to be Apple, but they don't actually have an appetite for risk.

I just hope Sony continues to support continuous VR projects. It may not make them much money, or be particularly popular now, but I think it's important to have it as an option for their ecosystem. It's not a HUGE amount of resources either.

Next-gen if they are going Handheld, you could easily have something where the Handheld disconnects from the controllers (like a Switch) and attaches to the Mobile (wire free) PSVR3 headset. I think that would be a great option, with a wire able to be hooked up directly for higher fidelity play.

Do they need to sink first party resources into it? No. They can just let third parties/indies port their games to it. If VR ever takes off big, they can gradually increase first party support. I'm honestly not disappointed with their current approach, though I will say it baffles me they haven't even bothered to port Astro Bot Rescue Mission. Quite a tragedy there. That's low hanging fruit.

Ohh look OP with another negative sony post and the 5th one he's posted in like 2 days. Checking his comment history you can see he's a clear troll with an agenda.

All is forgiven, Shu. Please come back.

I miss the old guard. Tretton, House, Shu, Kaz... The new guys are all corporate hacks with no personality. Even Layden was better. Can you imagine the old Kaz gifs with Herman Hulst or Jim Ryan in his place? Meh, hardly. On the MS side, something similar is happening. Phil with his "I'm a gamer, too, bro" t-shirts is fading into the background. It was fake, but at least it was an attempt.

Now it's just suits, suits, suits as far as the eye can see. I find it sad.

It was always a gimmick. It never got proper 1st party support.
They knew what they were doing. I dont think they were ever serious. They werent even that serious with VR1. Sony just assumed the console market would be amped up on VR as it was catching fire with Quest etc... and could get by on typical PC VR games like Beat Sabers again.

Until it wireless and as easy as putting on sunglasses it will never sell to the masses. It is really cool but just get tired of the setup.

Is Shu out for blood?

Without being completely direct, kind of reads that he is trying to expose wounds. Sony's multiple wounds.

First by pointing out the shitty first party approach Sony's been doing, now this.

Good. I liked the guy working at Sony.
It was one of the best eras, the PS4 era.
Everyone else that came after is just wearing Sony's success and fucking failing miserably at carrying the proverbial torch.

The only game I wanted to buy a psvr 2 for (the Alien one) was infected by DEI.

Otherwise I’d be playing it right now and Sony and the alien game publisher would have my nice cash.
Out of curiosity, how was Alien: Rogue Incursion infected by DEI?

After getting PSVR2 this past holiday for $350, I am now a believer and it has reinvigorated my love for video games.

Doesn’t matter how good the tech is. People just don’t care about VR.

Well...I sorta disagree.

I agree people don't care about VR right now, but its because the tech isn't all the way there.

So I think it does matter how good it is. If the tech is lets say perfect, like you put on some wireless headset, no gloves or anything and its able to use some tech to scan your body and your hands are in the game, 1.1 movement, it could of course change a great deal with how people view it and of course the games matter as teams would jump on board if the tech showed deep promise.


Right now the tech just isn't there where its like 1.1 movement in real life or something, but I think that changing will change how much care about it.

Do Switch gamers have to do that thing where if you want to play online with people you got to party up on a phone or something? There was something weird about Switch online gaming which is totally different than the way PC, Xbox and PS gamers do online.

You can't use voice chat unless you download the nintendo online mobile app and you have to use the app to do party chat as well i believe. The switch online is extremely gimped and basic to put it nicely.

So that gives you an excuse to post this kind of console warrior garbage?

I looked into it at the time and found it had been compromised so I removed the PSVR2 from my basket.

Right now I can’t remember but I think there was a sweet baby writer doing lead narrative or something.

These days I don’t even take half a chance. If the game is listed on woke detector type sites, I’m hard out.

I’m sick of paying for political propaganda that targets my own demographic and hobbies for destruction.

VR is a good experience, perhaps once at a mall or event, but it is not a regular way for the average consumer to play video games.
