Asking For Game Recomendation I just ordered a PSVR2
Hello guys I have recently bought a PSVR2 and it comes later today. I came on here to ask about all your opinions because I impulse bought this things without looking into it much. I already have a quest 2 and that still works fine but I was wondering if the PSVR2 is a great upgrade or not.
Sorry if this comes as repetitive for the subreddit as I'm new here. If there is any games you think I should play definitely reccomend me some, I'm giving myself about a 100 bucks of a budget and I'm leaning towards more horror and story games.
Thank you all 🙂

No Man’s Sky. It’ll blow your balls off.

u/deskbunny Jun 24 '24
This dude is not wrong. Put on smooth view (I think that’s what it’s called) clear a few hours on your day and it will blow your mind!

u/Jamiejohnson1211 Jun 24 '24
It's also insanely cheap. Buy a used PS4 copy on eBay and it comes with all the updates for free

u/deskbunny Jun 25 '24
This is the way! I honestly didn’t expect no man’s sky to be much better, but the first time I put the psvr2 on it felt like what the creators was setting out to do in 2016 make a game that looks like those 60s/70s sci fi films!

u/Uglybunny370Z Jun 25 '24
You talked me into getting this game last night. I didn’t get a chance to play it because it was late but I’m looking forward to checking it out. Hope it as good as you say. I know nothing about it.

Not games, but i'd recommend purchasing protective lenses even if you don't have any problem with your eyesight to protect the headset lenses (like the plano option from HonsVR), an extension cable that will allow the headset cable to pop out of it without damaging the console port or the end of the headset's cable if you trip over it (specs matter, i use the 1 meter option of this: https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbXVoc09DQmlqRXQ1OVprRW1FZzlKRFZPN0pmd3xBQ3Jtc0tscWFsRWRhWkxQVnBmT3pydkpWaEF3NjZfdGRubVVSZk50VkhMWnJuWHZkV25aTHZON2hTbjJ0YWdtNFBHX2lNWTdPV2N1ZWtkd05JUm92dWpPVEtMbHVSWWw0MkliN0hMZ0xZYklUZ2NrZ1JXcnB1Zw&q=https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F3TtIm8k&v=qLAqrnJj9K8), a sports bandana for high intensity games that will get you sweaty and maybe a charging base for the controllers if you find the ports to be too finicky, since you can't replace the controllers individually if you damage them.

u/Free_Raisin3908 Jun 24 '24
Thank you I will look into that

u/Background-Guard5030 Jun 24 '24
20 dollars for non prescription lenses.. take them and gone are the days of worrying about damaging the lenses. 👌

u/PanTsour Jun 24 '24
By the way, forgot to mention. For the extention cable you'll also need a cable clip to hold it in place so that the end that's plugged on the console's port won't be affected.

u/BabyYodaRedRocket Jun 24 '24
Got an Amazon link for the lenses protectors for psvr2?
3
u/PanTsour Jun 24 '24
I didn't buy them from amazon, but from the official HonsVR site. If you don't have myopia or hyperopia, the plain lens without the prescription is the "plano lens" option. Even if you're getting a prescription lens i'd advice also getting a plano pair for your less careful friends, or the ones that wear glasses. https://honsvr.com/product/psvr-2-prescription-lenses/

Red Matter 2 would be my pick.

u/Background-Guard5030 Jun 24 '24
Never tried red matter 1 but 2 is absolutely brilliantly done and probably the best choice to introduce yourself to psvr2.
Had a friend over the other day to check out vr, he was impressed by kayak and horizon but red matter 2 blew him off his socks. He started to say he never really thought vr would be worth it but red matter he had to admit that it was leaving a way bigger impression on him then he thought it would.. he only took the headset off because he was starting to sweat to much.
Other then that, no man sky, RE, pistol whip have been my favorites so far. No mans sky is a real treat!

u/ETs_ipd Jun 24 '24
Red Matter 1 is much more puzzle driven but it’s not bad. Red Matter 2 is the total package.

u/Chronotaru PSN: Chronotaru Jun 25 '24
You...haven't played 1? If you love 2, you must. Of course anyone that hasn't played either should start with 1.

u/Uglybunny370Z Jun 25 '24
Just downloaded it last night. Thanks to everyone’s comments yesterday. Looking forward to getting started..

u/bh-alienux Jun 24 '24
Check out both Resident Evil games (4 Remake and 8)
If you like puzzle games, check out Red Matter 1 & 2, and 7th Guest.

u/Qwertyui606 Jun 24 '24
If you have ps plus premium, there are six games included for vr2. This Includs my favorite VR games, the walking dead saints and sinners 1 and 2.

u/Papiculo64 Jun 24 '24 edited Jun 24 '24
Yes, if you played Quest 2 on autonome it's a huge upgrade.
Since you like horror, RE4 and 8 are masterpieces and absolute must play, but there are many other games like Propagation or OVRDARK that are really good too, or Saints & Sinners 1&2 that are less horror but with great gameplay and graphics. But the one I'd recommend the most if you really want to experience horror (terror might be more accurate xD ) is Madison VR. I started the game 3 days ago (in hard mode so puzzles are more difficult) and am at 47% of completion, but I can already say for sure that this game is a masterpiece in its genre. The ambiance and story-telling are excellent and yeah, it's scary af, and I'm not impressed easily!
Anyway, welcome to the family and have a lot of fun! :)

u/mgd09292007 Jun 24 '24
Village, RE4 and GT7 worth the price of the headset alone. You will have never experienced anything in gaming quite like the immersion you get from those 3 titles. Anything else is s bonus. There is not a very expansive library of AAA games unfortunately which has been disappointing, but I got the PSVR2 to fill the void in VR of high end graphics that I was missing with my Quest 1 and 3.

u/potatochief Jun 25 '24
Gt7. Only reason I bought it. Get a playseat challenge and a t300 and you'll be in heaven
3
u/PabLink1127 Jun 24 '24
Get the Globular Cluster headset mod for comfort. If you never played Walkabout Minigolf and Puzzling Places.. that. It would help to list what games you’ve played on Quest 2

u/sexyagentdingdong Jun 24 '24
If you don't mind rhythm based games. I try Thumper. The game is maybe $10-20

u/bandwagonnetsfan Jun 24 '24
Gran Turismo 7 and RE8 are a must have, then you can work your way through other games

u/GervaGervasios Jun 24 '24
Welcome to the family son. Well, since you already have a quest 2, it's not much of a difference. You can expect games that look closer to PCVR. Since you a seasoned VR you can jump into the big guns like. Both Resident Evils 4 and Village, GT7, no man Sky, Call of the Mountain, Synapse. There is also good games like switchback, Madson Vr, Legendary Tales. The rest of the games are quest ports. Oh, stay away from Firewall ultra that game is dead. One more thing psvr1 games don't work on Psvr2 games.
If you are interested, some games are crossplay with the quest and Pc like Demeo, Arizona Sunshine 2, walkabout minigolf but you have to buy both versions quest and psvr2.
Also, I becareful with the controllers Sony doesn't sell them separately.

u/sjames1980 Jun 24 '24
If you want to see some really sharp graphics, red matter 2, if you want to shit your pants, Madison.

u/Pale-Philosophy-2896 Jun 24 '24
I recommend resiee t evil 4 and 8 gt red matter 1&2 saint sinners , and online pavlov alvo breachers

u/sjdando Jun 25 '24
Good gut call I reckon. Resident Evil Village. More horror than #4 and most of the cut scenes are in VR also.

u/Thick-Pie9485 Jun 25 '24
RE4 will defo fit your bill. Arizona sunshine if ya wanna deal with zombies and have a giggle If on a small budget I recommend no man sky, no a horror game but if you only buy 1 game this will fill HUNDREDS of hours.

u/DarkSharkBark Jun 25 '24
Re village is suprisngly cheap 20-30. But then again I come from nintendo 🤣😅

u/cusman78 Jun 24 '24
For $18 out of the $100 you have for games, get 1 Month Subscription of PS+ Premium to play all of the following:
For the rest, I recommend getting the games you are most interested in and for horror & story your picks should be from:
- MADiSON VR
- Propagation: Paradise Hotel
- Very Bad Dreams
- OVRDARK
- Resident Evil Village
Welcome to the Family!

u/rsplatpc Jun 24 '24
I personally have been disappointed.
I already played all the games that were cross compatible.
Horizon was neat, but got boring.
GT7 is amazing and the ONE game I still play.
If I NEVER owned a Quest, and never played any of the games that are on both, I'd find it worth it.
But since I have, and other than GT7 and Resident Evil, nothing stands out, nothing planned, etc, and it's expensive.

u/amusedt Jun 26 '24 edited Jun 26 '24
None of these are on Quest: RE8, RE4, No Man's Sky, GT7, Horizon, Legendary Tales, Synapse, Arken Age (coming), Aces of Thunder (coming). + some others already released that aren't great (Firewall, etc)
And any new multi-platform games that come out are going to be better on psvr2. They always are

Vegas Infinite is free and a super fun social game.

u/spootieho Jun 24 '24
Vegas Infinite is way way way better on the Quest though, and he has that. (more skins, more toys, more game modes, more players, more rooms, and even mixed reality)
But since it's free, get it on the PSVR2. It's fun on the PSVR2 as well.

Look into a comfortable head add on, I found the unit didn't suits my head put of the box.
If you get motion sickness I found a fan helps.
For Story games i would say Red matter,Call of the mountain. No man sky, might be able to find a cheap ps4 copy, has free ps5 upgrade and vr.
I don't know horror well but heard good things about Madison and RE4.

u/deskbunny Jun 24 '24
Dig deep into the menu on the ps5 and there is an option that will show tou all the games that have demos as well. Crossfire I absolutely love!

u/Megapsychotron Jun 24 '24
In addition to the great games already mentioned, I really need to recommend Moss Book 1 and 2. Charming games, looks like a diorama.

Perfect timing to get a psVR2. Sony just added some great games to Psplus for psvr2. Both walking dead games are free if you got PlayStation premium

Red Matter 2 is a perfect Vr game in my opinion. Perfect mix of puzzle and action! Amazing graphics. The story is top notch withakiller ending. Also Moss Book 1 + 2 are utterly charming and a great action adventure games! Highly recommended!

Oh and I'd recommend Before your Eyes... Might still be on sale. Great story and does innovative eye tracking that the quest can't

I also have the psvr2 and quest. The psvr2 is such a better upgrade and I recommend both Resident Evil Village, 4, and Madison. These look stunning and damn near realistic when playing. Congrats!

u/stealthyninjamonkeys Jun 28 '24
I personally love mine! The controller battery life is terrible but it's fantastic otherwise. Epic Roller Coasters has been my thing lately but Kayak Tour, Beat Saber, Horizon Zero Dawn and Galaxy's Edge have all been hours of fun. Not to mention No Mans Sky, which might look and feel the best in my opinion.

u/DarkSharkBark Jun 28 '24

Just like others said before me, resident evil 4, resident evil village, no man's sky (it becomes freaking scary when you pop an egg and tall aliens in vr come at you), Paradise Hotel and ofcourse Madison VR...
Enjoy and welcome to the vr family:)

So I did the same thing as a Quest 2 owner a couple weeks ago. Plus is the headset is very comfortable, easy to get on and off. Controllers recharge via USB. Haptics are also pretty cool. Minus-- PlayStation store is terrible for surfacing VR games... no way to filter them. PSVR1 games are not PSVR2 compatible.No VR video apps for PS5. Looking forward to the PC adapter to fix some of these problems

The PSVR2 is not an upgrade to the Quest2 just a sidegrade. They have simlar lenses and similar resolution, but both have their advantages and disadvantages compared to the other. You should play RE4 on PSVR2, that's an awesome game.

u/H8threeH8three Jun 24 '24
Sony hasn’t really supported the headset and is supposedly ending the life-cycle for psvr2 within the next year. Not to mention they have only ever made 1-2 games for it themselves. No backwards compatibility and devs of PSVR1 games have very little incentive to make ports considering the cost vs the fact that PSVR2 has a very small player-base. Devs have gone on record stating that they cannot feasibly justify the cost to port when there would be such little return on their investment. I’d say return it if it’s not too late. Get a Quest 3 or even 2. Biggest gaming mistake I ever made. There are like 4-5 games worth your time. What a rip.

u/BartLeeC PS5 Pro / PS VR2 Jun 25 '24
The headset has averaged 12-13 new games per month since launch and it is not slowing down. Has over 200 games currently and some great games coming soon.
