Half Life Alyx for PSVR2 is now a reality

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Good, hopefully this will lead to more PSVR2 support.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Been saying this since day 0. Good shit.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Oooooh, things just got real interesting!

The more, the merrier! Bring your VR games over to PC Sony. Grow your userbase.

 

[Horseganador]

This should be from the launch, a good move by Sony to sell their VRs.

 

[Senua]

PSVR2 instantly gains a yuuge library of games

 

[//DEVIL//]

Might be worth getting the headset when that happens.

Because I tried GT7 VR and it was the best thing to happen to gaming in terms of racing. the implementation was perfect. add to that PC VR games... yeah Might be worth getting one.

with that being said. ill also wait for what VR headsets come out this year.

 

[cyberheater]

Hell has actually frozen over. I’m fucking in.

EDIT. I wonder if you’ll still need a PS5 for this. PC running PCVR content connects to PS5 and PS5 connects to headset.

[SlicedBread3]

Excellent news. Wonder if this means they've managed to bring down the production costs.

 

[ssringo]

Mine collects a lot of dust right now.

 

[SlimySnake]

I might actually get this thing now. Cant believe it took so long.

 

[skit_data]

Great decision IMO.

 

[DForce]

I thought this should've added PC support for some time. Good move.

 

[Rudius]

So glad I used my warranty to fix an issue with the lenses coating peeling of, now I'll have a nice headset for both PS5 and PC!

 

[Matt_Fox]

That's great news! It's gone from being a dead duck to a potential phoenix from the flames.

 

[onnextflix5]

Don’t think it gonna help much sales wise, looking at other pc headsets, but nice of them to add support.

 

[Bry0]

Eye tracked oled pcvr. This would make an amazing steam vr headset for the price. Even despite the not so great lenses, the dark areas in Alyx would be insane. For sim type games it would be insane too.

I’m afraid to get too excited until they give more details, but I hope this just means a driver for pc using openvr/xr

 

[Ar¢tos]

So they will manufacture a dongle for it themselves and make drivers?
That would be great.

 

[Sintoid]

Aaaand here I am ready to buy one when it will be compatible
Not only for games but also for 3D modeling

Pretty much.

Imagine MSFS in HDR VR.

Half Life Alyx for PSVR2 is now a reality

It's so damn good. There's not been a better VR experience since it's release, which is just wild to me considering it's been 4 years. Just finished up Black Mesa again yesterday, gonna start HL2: MMod today and maybe in a week or 3 I'm gonna jump back into Alyx.

 

[thief183]

Awesome!! To be fair, my quest 3 spoiled me in the semplici5y to connect it wireless, I hope they come close cause that oled is gonna get some good use

You really have a peculiar problem with your keyboard. Somehow it outputs "modeling" when you type "porn".

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Wise decision

 

[cyberheater]

The more I think about it the more I’m sure that you’d need both a PS5 and a PSVR headset for this to work with the PS5 running some sort of VR Steamlink.

Folks who think they will just buy the headset will be disappointed

 

[MDSLKTR]

Awesome, next step: Sony, oculus and valve have to sit down and make all VR games multiplatform.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Just in time for the Quest 3 new User Interface that fakes eye tracking.

 

[mejin]

They took their sweet time.

 

[Kerotan]

This is huge and the lifeline it needed. Big boost for GT7 and potential future support. Great decision.

Ooo, I was thinking there would be a driver, but maybe a ps5 version of steam link? Will be interesting to see what the solution is they come up with.

 

[lh032]

they need it tbh, the VR market share is a joke for psvr2 LOL

 

[BlvckFox]

Fucking awesome. I honestly barely use mine..this changes things.

 

[MonkeyClaw36]

Half Life Alyx for PSVR2 is now a reality

Too little, too late. it has been a reality for years and Quest 2 has almost the same resolution as PSVR2.

Foveated rendering is nice and all, but current PCVR games won't implement it I think. OLED is nice though.

I had a PSVR2 and I was underwhelmed by it. GT7 looked nice, but VERY pixelated. Guess thats down to the PS5's power.

HL Alyx looks sick on the Quest 2.

But people already on PCVR wont shell out the cash for a PSVR2 when they can get a Quest 3 for the same price, or get a Quest 2 for much less.

I have a Quest 2 and am not inticed to buy a PSVR2 again.

The price is just too high.


BUT if you own a PC and a PS5, I can see why this would be a good buy.

 

[mejin]

It's the only way to bring more support for this hardware.

Hope some devs are encouraged to bring the ports to console.

 

[SNYMA]

Good timing! when you consider Microsoft pulling the plug on WMR which makes my Samsung Odyssey+ pretty much useless now.

 

[SilentUser]

This is pretty cool! I hope VR one day really takes off, it is such an incredible medium to play games.

 

[Sintoid]

You really have a peculiar problem with your keyboard. Somehow it outputs "modeling" when you type "porn".

one of the fee times i actually intended not porn

 

[willothedog]

Don't you need a GPU with type C for DP alt mode and the market leader no longer does that?

 

[MonkeyClaw36]

The more I think about it the more I’m sure that you’d need both a PS5 and a PSVR headset for this to work with the PS5 running some sort of VR Steamlink.

Folks who think they will just buy the headset will be disappointed

Nope. Why do you think that?

It uses USB just like the Quest. It's down to the drivers and support from Sony. That's it.

Why on earth would you need a PS5 if the article clearly states PCVR support? What kind of conspiracy theorist are you?

 

[MonkeyClaw36]

Oooooh, things just got real interesting!

The more, the merrier! Bring your VR games over to PC Sony. Grow your userbase.

What, all 2 of 'em?

 

[shaddam]

Great. High resolution porn is onplayable on my PSVR1

 

[MonkeyClaw36]

Don't you need a GPU with type C for DP alt mode and the market leader no longer does that?

No. You need a free USB-C port on your mainboard for PSVR2. GPU only has to be able to render games twice. My Quest is connected to the onboard USB of my mainboard, not to the GPU.

Although my GPU has USB-C on it (Asus 4070 Super).

My Quest is connected through regular USB on a SS-USB3 port on my mainboard.

No direct connection to the GPU needed.

 

[rickybooby87]

For Quest.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

To anyone with lots of VR knowledge, should I sell my Index for a PSVR2?

 

[diffusionx]

That makes the PSVR2 a much more compelling product but I would still probably recommend the MQ3 over it.

 

[saintjules]

Half Life Alyx for PSVR2 is now a reality

What exactly is the selling point of this game? I see people keep talking about it. I check the youtube videos and it's not anything I'd go crazy for.

 

[alucard0712_rus]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT???
Thank you Sony!!
I have both Quest 3 and PSVR2 but I don't have my own...PS5 lol
Just today I was thinking to sale my PSVR2 (I bought it for GT7) and here we go!
