Just a few weeks to ago till this launches on the 22nd Feb. Anyone got a pre-order in? I went for the one without Horizon as I think I will get a few other games and wait for the price drop on that and pick after individually. Thinking of picking up Resident Evil Village which has an PSVR update and No Mans Sky for day 1?

Hope this is real step up as PSVR was a bit clunky with all the cables but a good introduction to VR console provision.

I have a preorder in and I can’t wait to play Gran Turismo 7.

I remember trying out a pre release version of the oculus rift about 8-9 years ago which was running a flight simulator. The sense of depth perception and sensation of being inside the plane rather than watching on a flat screen was incredible. Everything appeared life sized which was amazing.

Although the graphics and resolution weren’t groundbreaking, the immersion was. Since then I have longed for a VR racing experience and the thought of driving the Nordschleife or Le Mans in VR makes me giddy like a child! (I’m 39!)

Lol gaming has no age limit! I am of the same age smile Gran Turismo will also be very good! On your point I would love a good flight simulator on this too. Ghostbusters VR also coming later in the year!

Pre-ordered the second the words "full VR support" were elaborated on for GT7.

Have an Oculus Rift S that has seen a good amount of use on Assetto Corsa, the level of immersion is matrix-esque, in so far as you can't be told what it's like, you have to see it for yourself hehe The best I can describe it is you just are in the car. It doesn't "look just like you're in the car", you are in it, and your brain just accepts that immediately.

Can't wait.

Pavlov is another launch title I'm looking forward to, I dabbled a bit on the PC, it's just a first person shooter, but if you can get your head around the motion and not feeling sick, it's immensely satisfying.

I randomly developed a strong fear of heights over the years, VR was a great tool to largely fix that, as you can just force yourself to be exposed to ludicrous heights etc. and get used to it without having to leave your house hehe

Might need to look at Pavlov for day 1 as would like a good shooter. Set a £100 budget for games considering the headset is £530 off the bat its a lot of cash already!

Thanks for that - i will get some cards from shopto. That Kayak experience thing looks like worth a dabble too. Its a shame there is no PSVR Worlds type disc provided this time. Wonder if there will be some other demos to download to showcase?

As soon as I saw GT7 support I took the plunge, this should be good to go with the Playseat and wheel!

Yep, I'm another who ordered the PS VR2 without Horizon, (although it looks like an awesome showcase for the new headset/controllers) and I would like to try it out, having played a bit of the normal Horizon games I really didn't gel with anything about them and its just not something i'd currently want to spend £40-50 on, not when there are so many of the existing library of PS5 games or PSVR1 games I already own and enjoy that are getting updates and I'll be able to jump right back into, as well as several other new titles on day1.

Hopefully more compatibility updates for PSVR1 titles get announced along the way, and whilst i'd love a new Astrobot, I'd also happily play through the first game again in higher fidelity...its just that good!

I've specifically held off playing RE Village until it was available in VR so thats going to be my goto launch title, along with GT7 and possibly something chilled/fun like that Kayaking game.

Hopefully we get another set of PS VR demos like the original had or something like VR worlds again that may also showcase some of the new features. Loads of family a friends loved the underwater Shark cage as a first VR experience.

Great minds mate - it would be madness not for them do some demos that run straight away for the novelty standpoint. The shark dive was awesome! I am going to keep an eye on Horizon for a price drop. Will PSVR1 games work? I hadn't thought of that. I just realised I have some in my library!

There's several announced already for launch window, certainly of ones I already own such as Job Simulator, Vacation Simulator, Pistol Whip, No Mans Sky, Moss Book1, Thumper, Walking Dead S&S pt1, Rez Infinite, Tetris Effect...these are either free PS5/PSVR2 updates or modest paid upgrade according to the devs. And theres more titles that may or may not make launch window (as in first month or so) but defintely a big list of pre existing or new titles on the way.

Just a heads up that RE Village is currently half price on PS store at the moment. I picked that up and I think I’ll also get GT7 which is also discounted but can be had a little cheaper on Amazon.

It does look rather good, just a shame it is so expensive (although I can see why).

Preordered today after dithering over it for ages. Looking forward to GT7 with my Fanatec wheel and playseat. Going to have to get back into GT7 as I’ve been playing F1 with the McLaren 650s wheel I got for Christmas!

Would be interested in FPS recommendations as I assume COD won’t be forthcoming on VR any time soon..

The licences barely feature, once you get to A I think you don't need any of the others, and getting all bronze on them as a minimum would be easy. It's the Cafe Menu ste that you'll have to deal with and grind through. You can do the circuit experiences (some are hard) to earn good money quickly and the various missions etc. but you won't be getting "the best cars" any time soon, it's a game for grinding, some of the most interesting cars you need an invitation to even buy, which is randomly awarded extremely rarely, and others are in the Legendary Cars Dealership, which is on a not quite random rotation of about 3months or so, so even if you had the money, you wouldn't be able to buy lots of the cars hehe

Pavlov is a launch title. That'll keep you occupied, assuming you've already got your VR legs, otherwise you'll be feeling sick instantaneously until you get used to it.
