I like my dark gray one just fine, but if more models mean more widespread adoption I'm all for it.
I'm betting we'll hear about PSVR2 after PS5 launches. There's no way that USB-C port on the front of the PS5 ain't gonna be for PSVR2.
I really wish they'd return to proper integrated audio. The headphones on the original Rift we really high quality and having instant access to decent audio really makes a difference.
I need immersive audio in VR but I don't want to use a separate headset as it increases friction which will reduce how often I use the headset.

I would really like PSVR2 to be wireless. After Quest it'll be hard going back to something with physical wires tethering me to a box.
What do you mean friction?
I usually use earbuds with my Quest. It's convenient and you can take the unit on and off without taking the earbuds out.
The gulf between Quest games and PS5-powered PSVR2 games will be massive though
Ease of use & accessibility is critical - every piece you need to manage after the fact (even earbuds) is one more step between throwing on a set and playing.
Yeah I guess. When I'm really lazy I just use the headband audio.
That's true. But on PC aren't there really good wireless streaming options for the Vive? Something like that could work maybe.
With my Quest I have access to all the VR games that are available on my computer. PSVR library will always be extremely limited in comparison. The only "killer app" that is exclusive to PSVR for me currently is the upcoming VR update for Dreams because of the ease of access to simple dev for VR.
I really hope they step things up with PSVR on PS5, because with all the exclusive potential VR users would have an actual reason to buy PSVR in addition to their main headset.
As a Quest owner and pretty big VR user in general, I've never seen PSVR is a direct competitor to PC VR. It's not about Facebook lapping them, it's about PSVR actually offering enough content so that it's worth to buy even for big PC VR enthusiasts in addition to convincing their own player base that VR isn't a gimmick imo
Looks like a Lite version of Quest, there's no IPD slider and doesn't seems to be much different than the og quest. Maybe this is going to replace the (now deprecated) Oculus Go for a cheaper 6dof experience.

That poster leaked a couple of stuffs previously. Have a pretty much flawless track record imo. Google "walkingcat leak" and you can see bunch

Apparent Leak: HP & Valve's New WMR Headset With Side Cams, IPD Adjust, New Controllers
Prolific Microsoft leaker WalkingCat just Tweeted what seems to be images of HP & Valve’s upcoming new WMR headset and Microsoft’s new VR controllers. “WalkingCat” has a long history of accurate Microsoft leaks, revealing some of the company’s products and services in the past. In late...

Is it just me or does that new strap look even less supportive than the current one, which people already find a bit troublesome because it lets the heavy front part of the headset sag on your face/cheeks?
I think a lot of games I play, I don't need/want to be immersed in audio, the built-In audio works just fine. Beat Saber, Horror games, Tetris Effect, and the like, I use the Oculus earphones that they sold separately. They're small and fit in the case accessory spot, but sometimes I just can't be bothered.
I'm still not convinced that Sony will release a PSVR2.
Oh man this would be such a disappointment if it's the Quest 2.
Which is why I don't think it is.

Agreed. Part of what helps the current headband, is that it goes under the bump on the back of your head. This doesn't and doesn't have the extender on each side that helps get it on and off. It would have to be significantly lighter, to be more comfortable.
Its possible but it would increase the cost of the headset dramatically unless its some kind of accessory sold separately. Would be neat to have though.
I wasn't talking about anything even close to what you are, but ok. I was talking about the difference between Quest (being powered by what is basically a Samsung S8) compared to what a PS5 could offer being immense, so much so that wasting time offering a "standalone library" to run on whatever internals could be put in a PSVR headset would be pointless, from an ease of use perspective as well as in terms of dev resources.
Also, yeah sure PSVR is limited just like every console ever in existence and somehow those consoles (and PSVR) have done just fine. Not to mention... PSVR's only killer app being an update to Dreams that just released this morning? Come on
Anything that reduces the speed and ease to jump into a VR experience is something that creates friction.
Having good quality audio built into the headset without any extra wires is one of the best parts of the original Rift and I wish it would return.
Man I hope the psvr is wireless or the next valve option is, I don't really want to support FB but I can't do wired vr anymore. It ruins the experience imo.
You say this like he can't see games powered by PCs even more powerful than the PS5.
People like the mobility and freedom. It's like asking why some folks prefer to game on the Switch vs a more powerful console.
Sure, but he's not playing those PC games wirelessly. Of course people love mobility etc but you don't think that PS5 will offer experiences that can't be had on mobile devices, in terms of scope, immersion, gameplay possibilities? The SSD baseline for PS5 by itself will give PSVR2 games a huge advantage
I wont derail any further though
I think they will but it won't be for a few years. I think that's your mid-gen expensive peripheral launch rather than asking for another $300 or whatever immediately after everyone's dropped ~$500 on a new console.
Oh shit that's so pretty wtf. I want one.current Oculus Quest
new(?) Oculus Quest
Very reliable for everything Microsoft related so I'm wondering why they are leaking this.
It would be nice if this, or any Quest was ever in stock. Every time I have checked since Christmas it has been sold out.
But you can play PC games wirelessly with a Quest. I do it all the time and that's just using a method that some smart people hacked together. I would assume Sony could make it work especially considering their budget. Having PSVR2 be tethered would be a bummer.
Nice and all but I have the computer that can run a ton of games, I just need a headset that connects wirelessly to it. I hope. One day. But I'll have to see when vr2.0 actually starts coming out.
Since Oculus Link became a thing, I've been hoping that MS and Oculus would team up to put Oculus support on Series X and have Oculus port their exclusives (and allow VR third parties to port to Series X at their discretion). That would be a pretty big deal and it's something I'd definitely utilize.
Well after ps5 launch IMO, far as I know they're still fishing for worthwhile user feedback on current PSVR to be anywhere near ready to ship a sequel platform.
Ummm, when was the last time you looked into what was possible with the Quest? I've got mine set up where I can play my entire PCVR library wirelessly with >15ms of latency.
It's got a hell of a GPU in there... would make a lot of sense to power VR with it.
but does Series X have the right ports for it? USB c?
don't you do this to me!
wow, really?
that's great. nothing stopping the Quest X Series X dream then
That's a halo-ish headband which makes this a worthy upgrade in and of itself. I hope this is a bit far off, though. Not a chance that I'm throwing another $300-500 down on another HMD when I have the Series X and PS5 to pony up for later this year.
They lowered the requirement a few weeks ago, you can even use the cable that comes with it now.
Very reliable.
Looks clean and maybe a tad smaller? Other then that I'm not seeing a big difference?
From my use of the Quest, a good 5ghz Wifi network streams games just fine without much perceptible latency. I don't think having a wireless option for the PSVR2 is too crazy, and I really hope they do it.
Though what would REALLY be great is if the PS5 ends up supporting 3rd party VR headsets like the Quest, I know unlikely, but a man can dream.
You can use the current Quest wirelessly with a PC, its how I played HL:Alyx
Yeah, they should focus on expanding the userbase by pushing the price down as far as they can, then hit with an updated headset with new features focused on the living room experience.
Because they can't compete with the Quest as it stands, I've only heard positive things. Makes me tempted for the mobility but not like I'd have anywhere to take advantage in a flat!
