news hardware PSVR 2: A developer spellbound after trying out the new virtual reality system
While there’s no release date yet, the PSVR 2 headset was still tried out by a few developers during the Game Developers Conference…some of whom expressed their feelings about it.
Summary
- First return
- Modern equipment
First return
This week took place Game Developers Conference (or GDC), an event for developers where several events are organized: conferences, demos, announcements… you will find everything there. For example, if this was the opportunity for Microsoft to announce the creation of its own division cloud gamingSony also seems to be pushing its chess pieces when it comes to technology. At least, we can believe so after Chet Faliszek’s recent tweet. The latter is co-founder of StrayBombay, a studio known for developing one of the spiritual heirs to Left 4 Dead: The Anacrusis. Present at GDC, he spoke about the sensations after trying the PSVR 2
Had one of those VR moments today in the new PSVR2 hmd…

Sooooo good… thanks @yosp and @GregRicey for the demo and the chat.

I had a VR moment today playing PSVR2… Do you see those moments when you go back to the real world and everything looks different? It was sooo good.
Modern equipment
An enthusiastic return, likely due to component improvements to Sony’s new virtual reality system. We’ve known her since the beginning of the year, it was on the occasion of the consumer electronics show by 2022 that PSVR 2 has been made official. Inside the device are panels that offer 4K HDR, a refresh rate between 90 and 120 Hz, while the field of view has been expanded to 110 degrees.
However, two big questions remain about Sony’s next virtual reality headset: its still-unknown price and its compatibility with the first PSVR games of the name. However, the game’s catalog should not be empty: an original experience Horizon: Call of the Mountain has been announced, while the sequel to Moss is also set to arrive on the PSVR2.
