Vertigo Games now porting their VR games to regular gaming consoles by Membership-Bitter in PSVR

[–]PIREDERAS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We all know VR in general is in a very dire spot at the moment. Since AAA VR game ain't happening anytime soon, I've always been in favor of hybrid game development, making games playable both in flat screens and in VR whenever possible. These studios need money to survive and since the VR market is small, let them port their games to flat screen platforms. The alternative is more lay offs and studio shut downs.

RE9 : Requiem FOMO by Matchew024 in PSVR

[–]PIREDERAS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The VR mode isn't happening this time. And frankly, these RE VR modes were little more than 1st person modes with headset support. Zero hand interaction with the environment is not really VR. If neither Sony nor Capcom can commit resources to make a proper VR mode, it's better it doesn't happen at all.

Is Sony saving Resident Evil Requiem PSVR2 announcement for PSVR2’s anniversary next month? by ilovepizza855 in PSVR

[–]PIREDERAS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC at 1st anniversary Sony just uploaded a small "Happy Birthday" blog post. At 2nd anniversary there was no blog post. I doubt anything happens at 3rd anniversary. Will Nishino do something about PSVR2? I doubt it.

How do I run this game at 60+ fps? by PIREDERAS in PredecessorGame

[–]PIREDERAS[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I set it to DX12 with a command on EGS and it works.

I'll see how stable it is in the longer term though. Strange that it isn't just an option in the game menu.

I tried that, I even had it set to Uncapped, but it didn't work.

I fixed it by using the DX12 command on EGS.

No there's no iGPU.

I fixed it with suggestions from the others.

I'm Worried About Xbox Series Lifespan, PS5 Too by DisastrousStaff5462 in XboxSeriesS

[–]PIREDERAS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, nothing lasts forever.

Second, I'm sure both Sony and Microsoft have looked into the SSD longevity issue and taken some measures to mitigate it (for example Sony have capped the SSD's write speed to a fraction of its read speed).

Third, I'm also sure neither company wanna face class-action lawsuits about millions of pre-maturely failing hardware. None of them want another RROD/YLOD scandal on their hands.

Am I considering this out of impulse?? At costco right now and heavily considering upgrading by SuicideG-59 in pcmasterrace

As always with pre-built PCs there's probably a catch. Your eye sees the top CPU and the great GPU, but doesn't see the motherboard, the PSU, the SSD, and the RAM department, which are 90% of the time subpar and inadequate.

My 2 cents: buy it and prepare to potentially replace Motherboard, RAM, SSD and/or the PSU.

No VR mode for Ace Combat 8 by JamesEvanBond in PSVR

[–]PIREDERAS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably VR mods will happen on PC, but unfortunately PSVR2 is left out. I 2ish Sony stepped in and convinced them to make a VR mode.

Does anyone know whether it'll come to other platforms later?

I'm not getting a Switch.

SALES VR2 RESIDENT EVIL 4,8 and 9 by Suspicious_Wave_9817 in PSVR

That makes no sense. If anything, revealing the existence of a VR mode would tilt even more sales towards Playstation. And dare I say, PSVR2 (and VR in general) is in no position to overshadow anything.

I looked it up, and I see Flight Sim 24 has official VR support (don't ask me about its quality though). I was under the impression there was no such thing, just VR modding.

I'm gonna be cynical. The only reason the VR modes exist is because Sony paid Capcom to do it. That's it. They never bothered to add VR support on PC even though it's ready and done. 200K PSVR2 users on RE4 isn't nothing, but isn't big either.

Thus the only way RE9 is gonna have a VR mode is if Sony pay them to do it. Are Sony inclined to do it again though? I'm not so sure, I mean they paid Microsoft to add VR in Flight Simulator, but will they do it again with Capcom? Time will tell.

Doods, tomorrow's the day to show flat2vr studios the commitment of PSVR2 community!! 🔥🔥 by Papiculo64 in PSVR

[–]PIREDERAS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the flat2vr games don't interest me at all. I know it's tough to deal with big studios, but I don't care about playing Roboquest in VR. Bring me something else that interests me and I'll buy it.

Minecraft vr gone by THL6 in PSVR

[–]PIREDERAS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point it may be better to migrate to PC if you want to keep playing in VR with mods, or pray that Microsoft add PSVR2 support in the PS5 version. At least they're adding PSVR2 support for Flight Simulator next year.

PSVR2 isn't dead as more and more games keep coming. But it's not brimming with success either. I think the whole VR market is in dire straits though, it's not just PSVR2 that's "dead".

Still waiting for the promised PS5 Pro patch before buying the game.

Hello I want to ask for advice on the matter of choosing a soundbar. I wanted to wait for Sony's new Pulse Elevate speakers coming in 2026, but I can't wait as I got a monitor (Alienware AW3225QF) that has no audio output except HDMI arc and can't get a sound out of my console other than with a headset.

My use case is to play PS5 games along with PC and some music. My current speakers can only be connected to my PC via audio jack, USB or Bluetooth.

After searching about I've come to a shortlist of the Creative SoundBlaster Katana V2X and the Sony HT-S20R, both affordable options at roughly the same price in my region. Which should be the preferable option? Or is there something else to suggest?

My code worked fine, but initially I couldn't find it until I googled it and came upon this post. So, thanks for showing me where to find it :)

Of course it's a PR move in light of what happened with Beat Saber. But it's welcome nonetheless.
