Considering how incredibly old beat saber is now….I imagine everybody has had their fill anyway?

Someone hasn't heard of the custom song community. Not to mention, the most comprehensive mod framework Vivify, which essentially allows entire asset bundles to be imported into maps released not only 5 months ago.

    I don't think custom songs are supported on the PS. I never really tried tbh but it didn't look like there was a mechanism for enabling them. It was a reason why I wanted to get my psvr2 working on my PC, though now that I'm on Linux, I'm not holding my breath on that.

    Yeah I'm just talking about the replay value of beatsaber as a whole. I think the argument about it being an old game would work for most other games, but beatsaber has some of the best replayability, even if you only consider the consistent pace of official DLC releases. As for custom maps, the past couple of days have seen almost 30 community maps uploaded per day. It's like a constant firehouse to sort through. I spend a good 20 minutes every session checking out new songs.

    I enjoyed my PSVR 2 when it was still working. It started having USB issues and now no longer communicates properly. No visible damage or physical accidents that I'm aware of. And Sony wants $275 to repair it.

    Oh man I am fairly sure that would be covered here. I have had things fixed late based on the principle that tere is an epectation of quality at a certain price point and we also have additional warrantee periods.

    Definitely if it was within thebtwo year window theybwould be paying for shipping and all.

    Really interested in vr, but also not really interested in paying more than a full ass console for it. Well, i guess consoles are getting way over priced these days, but you get what i mean.

    I was really interested in VR after trying it a bunch of times and when Microsoft did their whole partnered VR headsets thing they failed so miserably I managed to get one for like $60 brand new.

    And then I realized it works well for like an hour tech demo and playing around in short bursts but otherwise is just a TV strapped to your face, hot and sweaty and kinda uncomfortable and your eyes kinda hurt after a while and the games kinda all sucked since no one had a sense of hardware capabilities...

    It's hyper niche and isn't really for everyone but how could companies argue against a TV strapped to your face.

    Beat saber is the only game besides Gran Turismo that I ever used with VR. Both are great experiences. I only bought it for GT7 on PS5, total waste of money honestly, but it's nice that the PSVR also works on PC too so I can use it on other racing games.

    I bought a psvr2 for my ps5. It’s really impressive but has three major flaws.

    1. it’s too hot. It seals against your face with a rubber gasket and turns into a sweat machine.
    2. vr in general causes motion/simulation sickness. Takes all the fun right out of the game.
    3. there’s no games for it. Even the “good” games suck. Beat saber being the exception to the rule.

    There are some great games idk what you’re talking about.

    1 and 2 aren’t personally a problem for me I prefer the rubber gasket to the cloth on my meta headset but if you run hot I could see that being a problem.

    3 though, I’ve been really enjoying the newish Alien Game, walkabout mini golf (of course), the resident evils… I mean yeah the library is limited but in no way are the “good” games sucking. The ones I just listed ruled.

    If I ever upgrade my ancient PC I’m really looking forward to using this headset on PC.

    I've read someone is in the early stages of getting eye tracking to work with the PSVR2 on PC. I've seen clips that it works, but was still obviously needing calibration.

    And it was just on sale for like $350 IIRC, I was mega tempted to say the least.

    Yeah I picked one up the first time they were on sale about a year ago. Absolutely love it. Realized my Pc is no where near vr ready ended up buying a quest just to have more Vr. I wasn’t expecting the quality to be so different. The VR2 headset is truly amazing.

    2 big things can help your 2nd point:

    • A circle rug with noticeably different feel to it compared to the floor it's on.
    • A single floor standing fan aiming at the area (or circle rug) where you use VR.

    Both should help you maintain your orientation in the world without breaking your immersion.

    Some games are just poorly made though, and even give me motion sickness. And I basically never get motion sickness from VR in general.

    My friends that have PS VR2 recommended me to not buy it, and just get Meta Quest 3 if I want to get a VR system.

    Not a Meta fan in general so don't want to buy their product, but will look at their next revision (rumoured to be coming next year) and then decide.

    This is solely Sony‘s fault. The lack of care and support they put into their own platform is just sad.

    • Lack of innovative first party titles
    • Astro bot 2…
    • Gran Tourismos VR ui never received the love it needed

    Or meta just doesn't want to give that one good game to a competitor anymore XD

    Vr so weird to me, with every other kind of gadget there's a clear 'best' that has all the bells and whistles and a 'good enough' that has most. But with vr it seems there's no hierarchy, just a bunch of models with different and (imo) incomplete featuresets and nonsensical prices as if the tech is still brand new..
