1. Okay

2. The tone. Of keyboard of your s great gune

3. Why are headlines like "Is virtual reality the future of gaming?" still a thing? VR has been a legit part of gaming for years now. It's not a console killer or a PC killer but it's also not "Just for experiences" either. It's a legit part of gaming that has joined the gaming space in a real gaming way.

   We really should stop with headlines like this. Is it a matter of "Is VR finally good now?"… no because VR has been good with real games often with crossplay with non-VR for years now. Is it "The future of gaming?"… It's not going to replace anything (just like how Consoles and PC and mobile and handheld haven't replaced anything either) so… this headline just… doesn't help.

4. PSVR2 is amazing.

5. Future of the Slave entertainment !

6. Vr is the future but it won't replace traditional gaming I think it will just run alongside it for a long time.

7. why stop at smartphones, now bbc gets up close to your eyes so you can't watch anything else except bbc

8. I want a zombie simulation so badly

9. Resi Village VR is so much better. Should have played that instead.

10. its a gimmick, like a 3d tv

11. Yea it’s the future for sure

12. FOH!!!!

13. I think the PSVR2 is pretty damn good. I've been into VR for 6 years, on PC, I've had 5 headsets. The PSVR2 is half the price of PC VR headsets, and has features they don't have, with eye tracking, foveated rendering and haptics. Visually it is almost as good as top level PC VR headsets and better than any of the older ones. Screen door affect is minimal, there is a bit of a film grain affect because of the OLED screens, but it is not that much of a problem. It also has a massive IPD range, going up to 75mm, which not many headset cover.

14. Nope, future problems are coming from this and it will be heavily regulated.

15. It is sad to have still cables in year 2023

16. Who cares what they are doing, it doesn't actually matter what these brain dead people do with their pointless lives

17. VR is only going to be use for porn.

18. Nope, expensive toy.

19. VR 24/7 would be fantastic, then I would not need to interact with Africans and Asians on a daily basis.

20. I returned my PSVR2, too expensive, too blurry and too nausea provoking. Maybe I'm not the ideal consumer for this technology.

21. Short answer: no. Just no.
    It's a fad that'll pass, like a bad smell

22. Long live PlayStation… PlayStation is better and far superior then any other game system ever created.

23. No, probably not

24. its PART OF the future of gaming

25. No it's fuktable makes me feel sick and dizzy …Not for me .

26. Gözünü kapayan, kendine gündüzü gece yapar…

27. They've been asking this for 15 years, and the answer is still "barely"

28. I used to freelance for a silicon valley vr startup. It is difficult to explain to people how amazing vr can be.

29. Bro I don’t know about the haptics on your PlayStation VR 2 but for me spectacular especially when your shooting a Shotgun in Resident Evil Village and your head vibrates as well as the controllers and no other headset has a vibration motor in the headset and it really adds to the immersion like when you crash in GT 7 and if your going to review something review it properly

30. VR will never be mainstream with gear on the head and face- just like 3D with forced chunky expensive glasses.

31. quest 2 is amazing

32. When you have have a robot girl like mine you will likely not be able to tell the difference

33. Best thing about PSVR2 is the price. Such excellent value and far cheaper than a roughly equivalent PC-based VR setup.

34. Overpriced junk.

35. VR is great. It needs to be used for more than it currently is. If I ever gather the resources I want to build VR experiences that take a professional amount of talent to play and are made for streaming. You could make something like the Clone Wars tv show but streamed live with VR actors.

36. I am still fan of the real thing. Flying an airplane, sailing a boat and having sex… in the real world. It must be my age, I guess hehe.

37. No
    It isn’t

38. Thought that was Ricky from LLF

39. The tether doesn’t bother me for the extra power this thing has. And console gaming is far more accessible to many

40. It’s still cheaper then a decent PCVR setup from scratch and far less headache

41. Yes. I am really loving mine. And the weight of the headset is unbelievably nice

42. I dont understand how the one "negative" can be pitched as so. I mean every man and his donkey knows to get an equivalent setup anywhere else other than PSVR2 costs MUCH more. I mean this is just fact. So annoying, really do expect better coverage than this.

43. horizon zero dawn was one of the most boring games I've ever played

44. “A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude.” Aldous Huxley, Brave New World….

45. BBC News only upload 1080p videos when they are ads.

46. So far I am loving it hopefully there will be a wireless headset just as powerful as the playstation vr 2 one day I do believe in vr we can only hope for a Xbox vr headset.

47. 550$ psVr2 plus 500$ ps5 and 70$ one game

48. The now cheaper military aspects will be exploited.
    The arms industry will be the first third party developer.
