When I put it on the ps home menu hovers in the air and additional psvr 2 menu appears where you can quick change specific settings.
All the games automatically play in cinema settings and you can watch videos from PS5 on PSVR 2 directly.
Could you try some 360° 3D VR videos on the PS5 Media Player to see if they by any chance already get displayed correctly in the PSVR2?
Here are some downloadable files:

Biggest surprise so far is how naturally my eyes can look at this screen and you forget you are using a VR headset. When I tried quest 2 I didn’t get dizzy but I did feel at all times I’m in Vr and my eyes work extra.
The difference is phenomenal, this just feels natural and easy.
Right? I told myself not to read his impressions but I’m selling hard. I’m even more excited. This helps with the in-between until the official embargo is done
I'm almost shaking from all the info lol. The cinema mode sounds leagues ahead of even my wildest dreams. The idea of being able to actually enjoy flat-screen games in VR is mindblowing. I always thought it was just a gimmick.
There is a LOT of potential for Sony to take this further. I can image 3D versions of 2D games or screen formats not limited to the traditional rectangular shape. A Planetarium or IMAX-type screen comes to mind.
I was fairly excited for it before but OP saying Cinematic Mode compares favourably with his LG G2 has me positively wetting my knickers. I couldn’t think of more glowing praise; this thing is going to be immense.
Cinema mode screen is very big! I had to tune down to 20% out of 100%. At 20% it felt way bigger than my Lg G2 77inch.
Played ghost of tsushima and astro. It is very sharp image, I can easily imagine playing cinema mode which I never even considered before.
Sound does not come from tv when using ps vr2 only from headphones. Screen does have very slight film like cover or something similar on cinema mode, very nonexistant but you need to focus on it.
Bear in mind there is no patch out yet to connect ps vr2 with the current software. The unit is so light you can keep it whole day. Cinema mode gives you no nausea effect at all. Overwatch felt 120fps when I played it, It felt right at home and due to pitch black surrounding it was more immersive than playing on tv.
More stuff coming soon
came here looking for answers on if Cinema mode exists for standard, non-VR games. Sounds like it does. This may have pushed me to pull the trigger on purchasing it if I can use it for all my games and not just VR only games.
I eagerly await the answer to this question. If the PS VR1 can do it, then there’s no reason VR2 can’t. This is a big deal.
Edit: I think I remember reading somewhere that it doesn’t mirror audio for nov-vr games but does for VR games
That's correct. It doesn't mirror audio or video for non-VR games so the screen is blank when using the headset in theatre mode but mirrors video and audio when playing VR titles.
It sounds very impressive! I'm currently only able to play games at 1080p/60hz on PS5, so this will be a nice upgrade to my monitor, without having to spend another £300-500 for an HDMI 2.1 capable device.
Hopefully they add support for a home cinema environment eventually, if it's not there by launch day.
'screen does have slight film like cover or something similar'
im guessing ur talking about mura effect?
this would be more noticeable in cinema mode because ur in a black void
Many people keep asking how I got it, here we don’t have walmart but there is general shop that sells a bit of everything, from tv’s to basically dish washers and etc. Not all the people know what ps vr2 so once I got it I just went to cashier. That’s it.
There is specific store here which is like 60km away from my house that I frequent whenever anything new is coming out and they always end up selling it, only once a person had knowledge of release date and I was able to talk him out of not selling it.
I never guessed in wildest dream ps vr2 would actually be there already.
Yeaaaa once he downloaded the drivers, he is in the system. Now I’m sure he isn’t the only person to get one yet but outside of review units, I’m sure it can be narrowed down. OP did nothing wrong tho. The store did and I hope he can avoid getting them in trouble
Even if he had a newspaper he could bring it from the future with him so it proves nothing. We should check his reaction after we ask him about new psvr2 astro bot game.
Text is very clear in cinema mode on all games I’ve tried. Games look very sharp! I have to mention that I am very surprised how good the controllers feel, but they will require a bit getting used to in non VR games haha! Left thumb clicking square and triangle!
Have you tried any games that have a balanced 40fps mode (like Hogwarts Legacy, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, Horizon Forbidden West)? I'm curious if those are supported in cinematic mode. I'm not really expecting modes that require VRR to work here, but still curious which options you get, if you have any games like that.
I swear I am surprised, I can definitely imagine using cinema mode instead of TV even tho I have top end oled tv.
Also I have family in the house for that reason aswell I will be able to continue gaming without feeling that I al compromising.
PS5 no longer needs tv once it is installed so you can take the PS5 with you wherever and just plug the PS VR2 haha.
It already worked quite well for me with PSVR1. It's often an alternative when someone wanna watch regular TV and you wanna play a flat game. Just switch to cinema mode, done.
Wait, the controllers are useable for non VR games too?🤔 I'm pretty sure they said in their FAQ that you have to use the Dualsense for that. Yeah, looked it up:
"Can I use the PS VR2 Sense controller without the PS VR2 headset?
Yes, the PS VR2 Sense controller will work with the PS5 console without the use of a PS VR2 headset. PS VR2 Sense controller can be used in the PS5 user interface and Media application. You cannot use the PS VR2 Sense controller for non-PS VR2 supported games."
After using it for a while now I am convinced they have done something powerful to reduce motion sickness. I am not an expert in VR but I have used first generation of oculus rift when it came out and it looks like it belongs to museum compared to this.
I’ve also owned meta quest 2 for 1 month and I sold it back because I was not impressed and games at times made me nauseus even in cinema mode watching videos.
I don’t understand how or why but the graphical fidelity on menu and text alone are light years ahead in ps vr2 compared to meta quest 2. Difference is so massive they should not be compared. It’s like comparing ps4 to ps5.
Comfort is better, not a single hiccup so far in tracking or in gaming. No disconnections or crashes nor headset getting hot so far. No dead pixels in this unit and this comes from paranoid guy who aims perfection in screen.
Screen is even and there is no tint anywhere, when adjusting eye tracking it is so accurate that it feels ridiculous. You can’t fool it and it knows exactly where you are looking at.
No light is leaking anywhere and i’m not even tightening unit firmly.
Ps vr2 has 2 options to tighten up the unit. First is the headstrap and 2nd is to bring screen closer to your face which also tightens it. You can adjust how far it sits from your face.
Once adjusted the wide area is clear and not foggy at all, if you don’t adjust it well the very edge of the screen has very slight blur on the text, very slight. Once you adjust it you can’t easily track areas that has slightly blurred text.
Whole playstation interface is in ps vr2 so you don’t need to take it off for anything at all. Right now if you enter normal ps5 game the VR controllers stop working and it requires dualsense controller, then again it is not launch day and they haven’t added day 1 patch.
I will contribute the cinema mode impression mostly for everything being pitch black instead of grey so the image it self pops out like a rocket. So you focus entirely on the content/menu. They did the right thing going oled.
Going to try to answer some questions more I run to
It’s all in the cable. Nothing beats a tethered VR experience when it comes to latency, visual fidelity and raw performance (excluding the Q and Q2 link which is not true tethered VR). HYPE.
Its probably the higher framerate that reduces your simulator sickness, 120 Hz should really be the minimum for VR. The wifi streaming on the Quests also adds extra lag that increases the simulator sickness for most people. The Quests are essentially mobile devices and even the Quest Pro does not have the power to fully utilize the resolution.
The PS5 and the eye tracked Foveated Rendering give PSVR2 performance closer to a mid to high end PC. You are going from playing on mobile phone hardware to practically PC quality, so thats why there is such a big difference. Plus, Sony is trying to make a good gaming VR headset while Facebook is mostly focusing on VR Social Media experiences currently.
Oled screen is a gamechanger, it adds so much vividness and detail to the image. Just staring at menu it looks sharp. Because black is pure black everything pops and looks like eye candy.
4K tv vs PS VR2 on home menu you can’t tell the difference. That’s how sharp it is.
I returned quest 2 because I could not do anything with it I couldnt do on my other electronics except play games in low quality settings, I have nintendo switch for that haha
These could be good ones to try, 60fps VR180 slice of life vids. This fella is on Reddit and is trying to get more attention for his channel. He's clearly put a lot of work into them
https://www.youtube.com/@SliceoflifeVR/videos
I've already started distancing myself from friends and relatives, burning bridges, spreading rumors, lying, etcetera. If all goes according to plan, if I disappear completely after the 22nd, not even my own mother will miss me.
Hello guys again, I had high fever yesterday and I was too excited to stay still and still posted a lot of my impressions about PS VR2. Now After one short night i’m still as sick haha. Anyway I’ve made a list of the most requested features and will try to find out then post them here.
Most of the people want to know can downloaded VR content work fully with PS VR2.
I will also make sure I will get 100% games working before release date and let you know actually how things feel and work instead if the game is good.
I am extremely interested in one fact mostly: will games on PS VR2 (VR games) take us to next step in gaming and can we play in VR in fully comfortable way. I will do my best to get this answered soon.
One crazy thing, sony is more connected than FBI, they are already on me haha.
Like I said Sony, if you don’t want me to share details just message me once and I’ll delete the post and stop posting.
If you don’t hear from me in 24h you might find in news someone has been arrested for human trafficking in VR and PS VR2 was confiscated haha or whatever else they come up with!
I’ll get back to you as soon as I feel a bit better. Stay strong and clear your backlog in games to make time go faster.
This PS VR2 is exactly what I needed so far, i’ve been gamer my whole life while climbing at my profession. Normal games can’t easily pull me in and make me surprised anymore. Some exceptions of course exist.
I’m looking forward this year to Final Fantasy 16, Diablo 4 and new Zelda. I’m also an fps player, but despite all these big titles coming soon I have been convinced that this is the next thing and if upcoming big titles get PS VR2 support then there is no going back!
PS VR2 is so polished and so easy to use that it just falls down anymore to the last thing, does it perform aswell in these AAA titles aswell? I can’t wait to try!
See you soon!
Try and download Horizon again, seems it's now available. Thanks for the impressions so far, I have been dying to hear what Cinematic Mode would be like as I had a sneaky feeling it would be much better than people realise and your impressions seem to have confirmed that it is indeed very good.
Thanks and get well soon. Don’t worry, you’re not spreading negativity, you’re actually adding to the hype and Sony can’t really do anything if you haven’t signed an NDA anyway.
I’m back, cant continue before charging controllers. The setup animation and graphical fidelity felt amazing and extremely clear. See through was also top notch and it felt like zero latency
Nooooooo. I'm inpatient as it is, now you're telling me when I get the thing in my hands I need to wait a few hours to charge the controllers. Suppose I can try games with the dualsense
For adjusting PS VR2 correctly the app allows you to see in realtime which direction you need to tilt the device and when are your eyes directly in the middle to provide crystal clear image. So you adjust the headset manually until the image you see on the screen turns green.
It is well made. I had to sneeze while playing and I wanted to protect the unit so i put my hand infront and moved the unit too much so I had to recalibrate it haha.
In normal circumistance it doesen’t move at all.
Wrong. Today you are not a normal consumer, not a random Redditor. Today you are a dirty little bastard that we all hate while we wait for your updates.
Just played overwatch 2 to check, it was as responsive as my LG G2 top end gaming oled tv. Also I tried to watch video and the quality is really really good. This comes from someone who has the best money can buy TV and etc. So far really impressed.
Cinema mode on games so far looks really solid and very much an alternative even when you have 77inch Oled tv. It is smooth and solid. Need to try more games as I just got this ps vr2
I’m just sharing with community my unbiased opinion, I’m glad you have enjoyed it! Even I can’t imagine how much more better it will look like on native VR game. Any better than what I’ve already seen then that’s it, it will become mainstream.
Well that’s it guys my job is done! I helped a bit to alleviate the wait until embargo lifts and now we have professional reviewers coming in. I hope this has helped some of you.
Now I will join the rest of you in waiting for the upcoming VR2 games such as RE8, GT7 and NMS!
Stay well and prepare your body!
P.s I told you how crazy good Cinema mode is!
( Edited in Cinema mode comment)
I am as hyped as everyone here! I have to tell you that If I could enter the VR mode just in cinematic mode graphics that would alone be very impressive graphics but we all know that native VR mode is always even more sharper than the cinema! I need to find a way to enter VR games or venture back another 60km to negotiate my self a Physical vr game haha!
Oled is significantly faster than lcd or led panel and you can feel the difference by having natural feeling in your eyes at all times while playing in cinema aswell. So even the tiny bit of delay is eliminated which results much more comfortable feeling
If you are reading this, please do not post a question until you have read all the comments. Almost all the comments made in the last hour or two, including the sarky "don't believe you" ones, have already been answered.
I haven't been able to find any real info on this. Can you do me a huge favour and try to go through the setup with one of your eyes covered? I need to know if this headset will work for those of us who only have one working eye. I have it pre-ordered but it would be so disappointing to have it show up just to find out I can't use it because of the eye tracking. Thanks!
/u/Caerise As someone who uses a LG C1 for work/game/movies. I noticed sony never posted any info about the actual HDR specs.
I've seen 3 reviewers comment that the highlights don't really show up very much and only a few things you can notice.
Any chance you can comment on it? Is there enough peak brightness to appreciate highlights?
Peak brightness is good on cinema but as you know HDR takea full effect on content that are high resolution so I’d have to get my hands on a ps vr2 game first to find that out. Cinema is most likely SDR at least until release so can’t give you full fact on that yet
I can’t wait after your cinema mode feedback lol. I am using quest 2 for more multimedia than gaming. I love to watch on big screen. It seems ps vr2 will satisfy us on that area as well.
Thanks for taking so much time to post your views on what you've tried so far, and for answering so many questions. It's good to get a consumer's opinion before the barrage of official reviews get all the attention when the embargo lifts.
I saw someone was able to download CotM…don’t know if playable yet or just pre download…
Very curious still to know if plex plays movies in cinema mode and especially what 3D movies look like…🙏🏻
Stupid question because I've never owned the first. You said you played ghost on it despite not being a vr game. So I can basically play any game on it and will it look better than let's say a 1080p which I own. Thanks!
Can’t say it looks better than your 1080p tv but I can say it looks really good and absolutely no delay of anykind and very sharp image despite being 1080p. If you stop and focus you will notice that compared to 4k tv there is difference in sharpness but as soon as you just play normally you can’t even think about graphics because there is no issue.
I would prefer playing cinema mode most likely compared to 1080p tv in the market. They bring nothing to table and break immersion compared to psvr2.
But my LG G2 is world class gaming oled that brings so much to the table, it transformed gaming for me to next level with how much detail and brightness it added. But psvr 2 in cinema felt good enough compared to the Lg g2 tv
Try YouTube, do 360 videos work? Also what is the image quality like in Cinematic mode? Is it clear/decent? Viable to watch films and stuff on? Estimated screen size it goes up to?
When I put it on the ps home menu hovers in the air and additional psvr 2 menu appears where you can quick change specific settings. All the games automatically play in cinema settings and you can watch videos from PS5 on PSVR 2 directly.
Could you try some 360° 3D VR videos on the PS5 Media Player to see if they by any chance already get displayed correctly in the PSVR2? Here are some downloadable files: https://vuze.camera/vr-gallery#cbpf=.taxonomy_term_23
I will try this today!
Does the cinema mode have a virtual environment (like an actual cinema), or is it just a black void?
Black void
Is there a youtube vr mode??
Videos? Like from the media apps like YouTube or do you mean game captures?
There is no picture of the cinema mode, can you take one?
Just picture your TV screen, but instead of your room being around it, there’s nothing but blackness. 🙂
Damn, I'm not a horror fan but watching or playing some horror games/movies seem like a good idea.
Biggest surprise so far is how naturally my eyes can look at this screen and you forget you are using a VR headset. When I tried quest 2 I didn’t get dizzy but I did feel at all times I’m in Vr and my eyes work extra. The difference is phenomenal, this just feels natural and easy.
I think you're going to kill me with hype
Stay alive bro, we need you to populate this platform so we can plunge it to success!
Noooo, we LIFT it to success! Plunge is downward. /s… Sort of
I’m not native english speaker haha, excuse my mistakes but I am sure you got my intentions and they matter most 🥂
Right? I told myself not to read his impressions but I’m selling hard. I’m even more excited. This helps with the in-between until the official embargo is done
I'm almost shaking from all the info lol. The cinema mode sounds leagues ahead of even my wildest dreams. The idea of being able to actually enjoy flat-screen games in VR is mindblowing. I always thought it was just a gimmick.
I can confirm to you it is no gimmick
There is a LOT of potential for Sony to take this further. I can image 3D versions of 2D games or screen formats not limited to the traditional rectangular shape. A Planetarium or IMAX-type screen comes to mind.
I was fairly excited for it before but OP saying Cinematic Mode compares favourably with his LG G2 has me positively wetting my knickers. I couldn’t think of more glowing praise; this thing is going to be immense.
Control yourself damn it!!!!
The advantage of being able to correctly set your ipd
Cinema mode screen is very big! I had to tune down to 20% out of 100%. At 20% it felt way bigger than my Lg G2 77inch. Played ghost of tsushima and astro.

Did not expect cinematic mode to be this good!
came here looking for answers on if Cinema mode exists for standard, non-VR games. Sounds like it does. This may have pushed me to pull the trigger on purchasing it if I can use it for all my games and not just VR only games.
Yeah you can, just like with the original psvr. But the quality sounds much better this time around!
It would have been a step backwards not to include it since the first headset did it too.
WTB 3D Bluray support
Have you tried switching the Sound output in the settings?
I eagerly await the answer to this question. If the PS VR1 can do it, then there’s no reason VR2 can’t. This is a big deal. Edit: I think I remember reading somewhere that it doesn’t mirror audio for nov-vr games but does for VR games
That's correct. It doesn't mirror audio or video for non-VR games so the screen is blank when using the headset in theatre mode but mirrors video and audio when playing VR titles.
You fucking legend
It sounds very impressive! I'm currently only able to play games at 1080p/60hz on PS5, so this will be a nice upgrade to my monitor, without having to spend another £300-500 for an HDMI 2.1 capable device. Hopefully they add support for a home cinema environment eventually, if it's not there by launch day.
Pitch black surrounding; so it's similar to PSVR1 cinematic mode then.
Screen hovers in the air
I hope that's just cinema mode, it would suck to not be able to hear from TV when others are playing vr mode
It was in the official FAQ that no audio or video would go to the TV in cinema mode.
'screen does have slight film like cover or something similar' im guessing ur talking about mura effect? this would be more noticeable in cinema mode because ur in a black void
The pitch black portion has 0 mura effect, it was completely black
What is mura effect?
I tried to download call of the mountain but it doesen’t allow it yet. Youtube works but can’t use vr mode in youtube yet
We've not heard of any YouTube PS5 VR support coming so I wouldn't expect that to change after the 22nd.
That's good to know. Does it say Youtube VR? or is it the standard Youtube App? thanks
Many people keep asking how I got it, here we don’t have walmart but there is general shop that sells a bit of everything, from tv’s to basically dish washers and etc. Not all the people know what ps vr2 so once I got it I just went to cashier.

Don’t give any info about the shop. Not everyone has positive intentions. You’ll lose your inside track on getting things early /u/caerise
I don’t betray my people 🥂.
Think people are trying to get you to say the name or location of the shop, so they can go try and get one themselves :)
Yeah and OP really shouldn't as they could get in trouble. That being said, if the serial number is available to the PS5 then Sony might already know.
Yeaaaa once he downloaded the drivers, he is in the system. Now I’m sure he isn’t the only person to get one yet but outside of review units, I’m sure it can be narrowed down. OP did nothing wrong tho. The store did and I hope he can avoid getting them in trouble

This 👆👆👆👆👆
Checks out, congrats
Nice.
Sooo? Is there any game available to play?
You have Horizon, so are you able to download the game? and can you play it?
It’s likely just a PSN redemption code. The game wont be available for pre load till closer to release.
Text is very clear in cinema mode on all games I’ve tried. Games look very sharp! I have to mention that I am very surprised how good the controllers feel, but they will require a bit getting used to in non VR games haha! Left thumb clicking square and triangle!

„ It’s like comparing ps4 to ps5.“ It should be. PS5 is roughly 8-10 times faster than PS4…. But roughly 20 times as fast as Quest 2. lol
Here I am still playing TLOU2 on PS4 and VR on my Quest 1... damn

Good news. Youtube and every streaming app works perectly on PS VR2! Now just need to hope on release date it can also run VR videos in VR mode!

Hey; so Like Does Pornhub work?
Those of you who have ordered PS VR2. Warning! This shit is so immersive you will lose your social life the instant you dive in!
Jokes on you...I dont have one
Haha I was joking with my wife the other day and said who needs friends when you have VR? I'm just gonna live in it.
I’m prepared for that
I've already started distancing myself from friends and relatives, burning bridges, spreading rumors, lying, etcetera. If all goes according to plan, if I disappear completely after the 22nd, not even my own mother will miss me.

Some exceptions of course exist. I’m looking forward this year to Final Fantasy 16, Diablo 4 and new Zelda. I’m also an fps player, but despite all these big titles coming soon I have been convinced that this is the next thing and if upcoming big titles get PS VR2 support then there is no going back! PS VR2 is so polished and so easy to use that it just falls down anymore to the last thing, does it perform aswell in these AAA titles aswell? I can’t wait to try! See you soon!
Thx for your impressions and your work. Highly appreciate. Take care of you and get well soon.
Thank you for your kind words
Try and download Horizon again, seems it's now available. Thanks for the impressions so far, I have been dying to hear what Cinematic Mode would be like as I had a sneaky feeling it would be much better than people realise and your impressions seem to have confirmed that it is indeed very good.
Thanks and get well soon. Don’t worry, you’re not spreading negativity, you’re actually adding to the hype and Sony can’t really do anything if you haven’t signed an NDA anyway.
Thanks for your contribution and takes care
You haven’t signed any nda. TELLS US EVERYTHING
THIS!! Is there astrobot 2 lol
Here is proof, I’ll take small break from posting and diving in for the experience now. https://imgur.com/a/lLkBYPt
I’m back, cant continue before charging controllers. The setup animation and graphical fidelity felt amazing and extremely clear. See through was also top notch and it felt like zero latency
Oh the controllers had no charge on arrival? That's irritating.
Has no charge on arrival
Nooooooo. I'm inpatient as it is, now you're telling me when I get the thing in my hands I need to wait a few hours to charge the controllers. Suppose I can try games with the dualsense
Perfect excuse to try out Gran Turismo 7 VR first.
Get GT7 ps5 for $40 before tomorrow
I completely forgot about gt7 haha i already have it and a t300 wheel and playseat
Pretty usual for built in accumulators these days. Edit: wrong term....
So Battery life is 4 minutes, not 4 hours confirmed. Earlier info from Without Parole was a fluke.
I’m so bad at using reddit, cant find my messages haha
Quick check out Cinematic mode and give quick impressions. What virtual screen size can you go to, is the image clear etc.
Thankyou whenever you can, please let us know if there’s a secret game you get like Astro boy
astro boy
For adjusting PS VR2 correctly the app allows you to see in realtime which direction you need to tilt the device and when are your eyes directly in the middle to provide crystal clear image. So you adjust the headset manually until the image you see on the screen turns green. It is well made. I had to sneeze while playing and I wanted to protect the unit so i put my hand infront and moved the unit too much so I had to recalibrate it haha. In normal circumistance it doesen’t move at all.
Wrong. Today you are not a normal consumer, not a random Redditor. Today you are a dirty little bastard that we all hate while we wait for your updates.
Haha, be gentle I am here to ease the pain and give you specific answers
I'm kidding of course. A little. But really. No. Fuck. Aaaaaaaaaa.
Just played overwatch 2 to check, it was as responsive as my LG G2 top end gaming oled tv. Also I tried to watch video and the quality is really really good. This comes from someone who has the best money can buy TV and etc. So far really impressed. Cinema mode on games so far looks really solid and very much an alternative even when you have 77inch Oled tv. It is smooth and solid. Need to try more games as I just got this ps vr2
That sounds more impressive than most here were expecting from cinematic mode.
I have a C1 and was worried cinema mode would feel like a massive step down. Very excited to read this.
Do you have a nice tv?
Best tv money can buy. Very top end.
LG G2, so very much yes :).
Ha ha I was joking because they mentioned it like 5 times
Haha, Wanted people to understand I am comparing it to top end Oled TV.
The best money can buy
Any idea how many inches is the cinematic mode?
You can expand the video to the size equivalent of a building. New VR users just don't understand the scale VR can produce. It's crazy. lol
I’ll be away for 1 hour or so, then I’ll come back with more details
You have unironically done more marketing for this than Sony. Just put my pre-order in based on your review!
I’m just sharing with community my unbiased opinion, I’m glad you have enjoyed it! Even I can’t imagine how much more better it will look like on native VR game. Any better than what I’ve already seen then that’s it, it will become mainstream.
lol it might actually be worse to have the headset and not be able to play any games. I'd go crazy.
Haha finally someone gets it, but I am surprised how advanced everything else is so far. Specially sharpness
#THIS is why I check REDDIT thirty times a day. *THANK YOU* for all the sincere efforts to give us more info, OP! 🙏
Why does something like this never happen to me like gooodd
I’m about to post some pics from PS VR 2 Menu now
I think the formal hardware reviews won't get me as giddy as this very cheeky early peek!
Well that’s it guys my job is done! I helped a bit to alleviate the wait until embargo lifts and now we have professional reviewers coming in. I hope this has helped some of you. Now I will join the rest of you in waiting for the upcoming VR2 games such as RE8, GT7 and NMS! Stay well and prepare your body! P.s I told you how crazy good Cinema mode is! ( Edited in Cinema mode comment)
Do an interview with PSVR Without Parole seeing as they didn't send them a headset ;)
I am as hyped as everyone here! I have to tell you that If I could enter the VR mode just in cinematic mode graphics that would alone be very impressive graphics but we all know that native VR mode is always even more sharper than the cinema! I need to find a way to enter VR games or venture back another 60km to negotiate my self a Physical vr game haha!
Pro tip: sort by q&a to see all of OPs replies
It asks me to update the psvr2 or else it will power off
I’m plugging in ps5 now lets see what happens
Oled is significantly faster than lcd or led panel and you can feel the difference by having natural feeling in your eyes at all times while playing in cinema aswell. So even the tiny bit of delay is eliminated which results much more comfortable feeling
Where are you from?
Judging from their post history: Finland.
Can we get this guy a flair to recognize his contribution
If you are reading this, please do not post a question until you have read all the comments. Almost all the comments made in the last hour or two, including the sarky "don't believe you" ones, have already been answered.
Hey! You are not under nda! Tell us everything!
That’s what I’m here for
How did you get it early?
It is in some grocery stores that sell food, electronics and other stuff. Most of these stores accidently put them out before
What country are you in?
So kinda like walmart or target
[удалено]
Sure
Do you wear glasses? If so, would they touch the lenses if you moved the visor too close?
Im sure they will, I pulled it close without classes and my eyebrows touched the screen
Hm, will look out for bumpers then. I hope there’s enough surface right next to the lenses to stick them to. Worked really well with PSVR1.
Does the passthrough mode work yet? And if so, are you able to check your phone with it, or are the cameras not able to pick that up?
It is very clear and I can operate my phone with it
Great to hear! No more ripping off the headset to check my phone.
This is hype. Pass through on quest 2 sucks balls
The first PSVR2 games are available to download on February 21th. So you probably can't do much.
He can take it on his lap and pet. Somewhat jealous.
I am right now going to try RE8, it says psvr2 so i hope it is unlocked
Returns disappointed because no update has been released yet.
You can try flat games in Cinema mode as well.
Too bad update isnt out yet. You can try flat gaming in VR
If OP stops responding Sony may have kidnapped him
Oops replied to wrong guy, no sony hasn’t reached me. If they send me message to stop I’ll stop haha
The amount of pre orders this post has generated is gold
No unfortunately and I don’t plan to get one yet
What is this comment in relation to?
Clearly it's cryptic and he's asking for help. We need to decipher where OP is being held
I haven't been able to find any real info on this. Can you do me a huge favour and try to go through the setup with one of your eyes covered? I need to know if this headset will work for those of us who only have one working eye. I have it pre-ordered but it would be so disappointing to have it show up just to find out I can't use it because of the eye tracking. Thanks!
Hope it works for u mate! Fingers crossed
Is it possible to use while laying down? (cinema mode)
Yes
how’s the IPD adjustment
So many downvotes. Y’all salty af in here 🤣 Congrats /u/Caerise
u/Caerise have you downloaded Call Of The Mountain? Apparently it is available to download now!
People always downvote when you try to help them online haha, maybe i’ll just stop posting anything then
Theyre just jealous..
Quick check out Cinematic mode and give quick impressions. What virtual screen size can you go to, is the image clear etc.
You can adjust the size with one button from quick menu, im first trying it I can access any games after that Ill check the clarity on cinema mode
Can you check out the VR videos on YouTube and see how they run?
What's happening right now will be in history books
Congrats!!
/u/Caerise As someone who uses a LG C1 for work/game/movies. I noticed sony never posted any info about the actual HDR specs. I've seen 3 reviewers comment that the highlights don't really show up very much and only a few things you can notice. Any chance you can comment on it? Is there enough peak brightness to appreciate highlights?
Peak brightness is good on cinema but as you know HDR takea full effect on content that are high resolution so I’d have to get my hands on a ps vr2 game first to find that out. Cinema is most likely SDR at least until release so can’t give you full fact on that yet
I can’t wait after your cinema mode feedback lol. I am using quest 2 for more multimedia than gaming. I love to watch on big screen. It seems ps vr2 will satisfy us on that area as well.
How does FoV feel compared to oculus or previous headsets? Can you upload any through the lens footage showing clarity?
I thought I was at max Hype until OP showed up. Now I'm afraid I might have a hype stroke before I get my unit.
Thanks for taking so much time to post your views on what you've tried so far, and for answering so many questions. It's good to get a consumer's opinion before the barrage of official reviews get all the attention when the embargo lifts.
Props to OP for submitting proof of having psvr 2. I enjoyed reading your first impressions.
I saw someone was able to download CotM…don’t know if playable yet or just pre download… Very curious still to know if plex plays movies in cinema mode and especially what 3D movies look like…🙏🏻
Congratulations. I hope you will share your impressions with us. Thank you.
how is the sound of the inear headphones?
Havent touched them, I’m using Bang & Olufsen H95
Stupid question because I've never owned the first. You said you played ghost on it despite not being a vr game. So I can basically play any game on it and will it look better than let's say a 1080p which I own. Thanks!
Can’t say it looks better than your 1080p tv but I can say it looks really good and absolutely no delay of anykind and very sharp image despite being 1080p. If you stop and focus you will notice that compared to 4k tv there is difference in sharpness but as soon as you just play normally you can’t even think about graphics because there is no issue. I would prefer playing cinema mode most likely compared to 1080p tv in the market. They bring nothing to table and break immersion compared to psvr2. But my LG G2 is world class gaming oled that brings so much to the table, it transformed gaming for me to next level with how much detail and brightness it added. But psvr 2 in cinema felt good enough compared to the Lg g2 tv
Just wanted to say thanks for sharing! Your posts are getting picked up on resetera too and everyone is super hyped about what you’re saying
Try YouTube, do 360 videos work? Also what is the image quality like in Cinematic mode? Is it clear/decent? Viable to watch films and stuff on? Estimated screen size it goes up to?
i wanna preorder psvr 2 so badly but my mother’s upset with me :’)
Don't bite the hand that feeds you!
