gq PlayStation’s Jim Ryan: ‘We’re making a completely new VR format for PS5’

[ENTERPRISE]

Quote

All right, PlayStation VR 2. The second PlayStation VR. What are we calling it at the moment?

 

We’re not calling it anything at the moment.

 

So the obvious question is what’s changed from the first headset?

 

So this will be a completely new VR format for PS5. PlayStation has considered VR as a strategic opportunity and a big innovation story. We think there are two themes that you’re going to see: us capturing the technological progress that has taken place since the present VR system came to market and a considerable amount of lessons learned. Because the present system was our first one. [Changes will be] things like moving to a very easy single-cord setup with this one and many other similar learnings. Dev kits are about to go out.

I still almost want to buy a PS4 to try out the VR missions on Ace Combat 7 (which I played main game of on a PC).

Oh yea that would be very cool. I also played that game.

 

Anyone know if there are any decent budget VR kits for pc yet?

Define "budget"

(sigh) It would be nice if they actually made more PS5's for consumers to purchase before they worried about making a new VR format for the few that are in the public's hands.... OR at least found a way to block the bots from their site when they DO list a new batch for sale.
