--- Quote from: fallacy on February 25, 2023, 01:05:12 pm ---Well the PSVR 2 is out and it sounds like it is pretty great. Dammit this is like the worst case scenario for me, I don't want to invest in another walled garden. --- End quote --- I wouldn't hold my breath on the eye-tracked foveated rendering, but it's already being disassembled by the hackers with talk of reverse engineering it. I'd be surprised if there wasn't some limited PC functionality within a year. Sony may also come to their senses at some point. At they scale they produce things, it would be hard to sell me on the idea that they lose money at the price these are being offered at. And the more they sell, the quicker they get a return on their tooling and setup investment, and the quicker they can start dropping the price to bring more PS5 owners into the VR fold. When Sony was asked about potential PC compatibility, the answer was supposedly a vague "PSVR2 was made for the Playstation5", which doesn't exactly sound like a "never gonna happen". I guess we will see eventually. |

There is no way in hell they will support the PC; hell in a few years they might drop it and barely even support it on the playstation. PC Hacks never work very well and it would just be more frustrating than its worth. |

Crystal balls only seem to sometimes work in retrospect ;) |

To support the PC is to support the platform and have it work with Steam. There would be ongoing support to work with the games between the motion controllers and the haptic feedback, to officially state they support the PC so they can do what… Lose tons of money by having people take their PSVR off the Walled Garden Playstation and move it to the PC permanently? They have already developed their own eco system and have a player base for it, thats where it will stay. |

Honestly, the only real standout items from the PSVR2 are those nice displays, eye-tracked foveated rendering (which becomes less useful as GPU/Sytem power increases) and some extra haptics. If they can get the first one and the last one working, along with the tracking obviously, they would have most of what matters for PC users. This boils down to decoding the USB data stream, a graphic driver, and making it look like any other headset to Steam. All of which has been done in the past for the PSVR1. It will take time, but it will happen in one shape or form. |
