I spent $650 on PlayStation VR 2 and i'm not sure why...

ah this is one of them rare occasions where I bought something from online and actually got it on the day that it was supposed to release sure I've already done a big spiel about how much of a huge fan I am of VR but I've done a bunch of VR videos in the past I've been really looking forward to getting this and apparently so has dollar because she couldn't wait to sit down as well I'm actually not too sure what to expect here because as much of a VR fan as I am I kind of just wanted to be surprised by this thing and I didn't do a ton of research into it it actually kind of snuck up on me the release kind of came out of nowhere considering psvr one didn't really do that well I don't think you would have thought they would have made a bigger push for this one I couldn't set up a camera to show the TV but I don't think I'll need it I only have two cameras and I'm using one here for this and one here for that I couldn't really set up a third one to capture the TV but I have my PlayStation here if we plug it in and there's something on the TV I'll just move this camera this video is sponsored by PayPal honey [Music] wow I I just saved a ton of money with honey ah sorry what you saved money how I want to save money I'll save money uh with honey it's the number one shopping tool in America okay how does that work oh it's just a little icon that sits at the top of my browser I I installed it in like one click and now every time I'm shopping online uh I just go to checkout and yeah it just pops up and it applies all the coupon codes it can find online applies the best one and I often save a lot of money but that today was crazy I just bought a PC and saved a couple hundred dollars okay cool I guess I'll buy it no you see that's the best thing is that it's free and it's already working on a load of sites that you're already shopping on it's three how does that even make sense that sounds too good to be true I don't know but you should try it too because we could get two of these computers go to joinhoney.com forward slash beat em ups beat emups joining.com beat em ups that's our name sure is Buddy it sure is I am ready to be blown away by this thing I'm really excited I don't really know what to expect but I have a quest too and I use it a lot and the Quest 2 is really good honestly I really do love the quest oh that'll kind of just fell out on my lap I don't know why I opened it that way here's the headset what do you think Darla you seem to be very interested first up super light this is really light one of the big advantages of having the psvr is unlike a lot of headsets like the quest too there's a lot of tech inside the headset because you can play it on its own as well as plugged into the PC this can really only be used when it's plugged into something else like the PlayStation so there's no need for too much Tech in this simplified explanation these controllers are super futuristic looking really wacky I don't dislike them you have to insert your hand into them I mean it definitely feels good something again I liked about the quest too is it can tell how you're holding the controller so if you want to point at something in VR you literally point in real life and it senses you've removed your finger and you're probably trying to point same with the thumbs up same with finger guns and I assume this is similar technology I also assume that's why we have this wrap around band the monitor the hand even more maybe I'm overthinking it and they just did a really futuristic design for the controllers I will say the only thing I'm worried about instantly off the rip having played a lot Auto VR there are certain games like after the full which I really like where when you reload a gun or you try and load a gun and then you have to pull back the hammer often when I'm trying to do those motions I end up bashing and clanging the controllers together and I can definitely see that happening with these I hope that's not the case I have a full game download here I have earbuds really suck to have to wear headphones while I play with this thing first thing off the bat that I love about this VR there's no extra pass through stupid idiot dumb box I hated that thing it was the main reason I never wanted to play psvr I couldn't leave it plugged in because there was no HDR pass through on that box so if all my other games I wanted to play if I wanted to stop playing Uncharted 4 I had to unplug the VR box and replug everything back in to get the HDR again it's like all these different hdmis and multiple ports and chords it's just one USBC it's the future baby let's go Horizon call of the mountain 46 gigs okay in the meantime while that downloads now we can plug in the headset I'll say that I usually stand when I play VR one it gives me an excuse to be active while I'm playing games and two it's more fun standing I feel more engrossed if I'm actually standing especially if it's a game with a character is standing I'm probably gonna have to sit because I've set up to sit oh my God all right I'm turning it on wait the headset vibrates I don't want you vibrating on my face I don't know if I want that okay so the PlayStation is asking to update the headset I don't know if it is doing it but I asked it to do it oh here we go get started oh connect the headphones ooey gooey that's one thing I already really don't like I'm not pleased by this even though it's VR AR glasses I took a look at recently had them all right so this slips in to the back of the headset and then you've got two little dangles I mean come on this went from looking so futuristic to looking like the Walkman I used to take to school in the 90s Walkman was cool oh sick or the on-screen guide on how to put on your VR headset I don't like this weird spongy material around the face it feels really cheap it feels like the old Virtual Boy actually so you're on the other side plugging in the very gross earbuds they are very uncomfortable my ears are clean but it feels like they're pushing wax back in my ears to make sure you can see the screen clearly adjust the lens distance so your eyes are positioned in the middle of the lenses oh actually that's kind of sick I just adjusted with this dial up top and it even recognized that my eyes were in the right place it makes me feel really confident that I have it set as good as I can whoa that's trippy okay all right that's pretty cool so again The Quest 2 does do this feature where you have passed through see-through but this one's way better actually I can really see everything really clear it's nice you know if you feel like someone's in the room you don't have to take your headset off to look around something I've been excited about is just new features of VR and the ways they make it more convenient I'm having a hard time putting these on right now aren't I all the buttons feel nice I like that I have this tutorial floating in my room right now that's a really cool futuristic touch and not sure if the room wasn't black and white but still PlayStation VR tracks movement of your eyes oh I like that that might actually make a lot of things less motion sicknessy okay this is trippy because I know it's following my eyes and that kind of freaks me out a little bit I'm trying not to move my head I assume that's part of it eye tracking adjuster Try It Out by looking at the surrounding dots to see how yo that's sick though I'm just looking at the dots and the timing when I look at them see this is the kind of tech I get really excited about left right left right left right okay so it's gonna scan my area now oh my God the way that it's like vector placing my room is really interesting I can't keep these things in my ears batteries too low all right that sucks okay so far pretty impressed by a lot of stuff I am going to quickly put some charge in these maybe uh come back in like 30 minutes and we'll keep going okay I have my kombucha and I even made lunch I made a burger it's been about 45 minutes I'm hoping that's enough to play I even went ahead and plugged in the gameplay to be recorded too let's go I am very excited I'm gonna say it one more time and leave it there awful audio just awful I love this head tracking oh it's not even head tracking it's my eyes again I'm just looking at him so wild I'm gonna try smooth rotation usually that makes me motion sick but I want to see if I can do it oh that's very pretty Georgia oh look at my hands see what I was saying finger guns and then if I put my thumbs even I've just touch them lightly literally it's so light I'm not clicking them or anything it just knows what my hands are doing I can do peace the headset just rumbled as that went by that's actually sick I didn't think I was gonna like that but that felt really uh organic the rubber piece around this headset is not comfortable kind of hurting my face oh can I touch that I can I don't know why that made me happy I would help if I could I hello good night oh I can't okay that was actually kind of cool I'm not dying for a shadow no my Broken Arrow oh do I swim oh I actually do swim [Music] I just hit the microphone moving forward hold wait what oh no no no no no no I don't want this no this is not how I move in this game no no no no no no why would anybody play like that there we go I've got to get off this duck nope that's gonna make me vomit yep that's fine much faster too I don't know why they made it so slow to rotate you know I do like vo this is a lot of the reasons why people don't really mess with it oh God and I tried to readjust it on my head and I pulled the earplugs out like I'm complaining a lot but this is it man this is the VR experience all right audio is going to be horrible because I keep pushing it further and further away but God damn yeah if you've never played a VR game before the visuals alone in this are gonna blow you away I feel like you're gonna be very surprised at how far Graphics of common VR in the last few years all right this is this this this is why I've been excited [Music] am I waiting for this to end what's happening I'll reach over left shoulder what sorry what's behind me what ah okay that's pretty accurate yeah it feels so accurate I wonder if they're actually using my eye tracking to tell what I'm trying to look at I'm not this accurate in VR games usually no man come on I actually feel like I can aim in this this is one of the first times in VR I felt actually capable of aiming that's cool it's nice level design it's not just generic platforming this is actually making me feel really uncomfortable I'm like over a ravine I feel like I need to go slow because I do not want to mess up we're going to play heads or tails we're gonna play we're gonna play plate flip that lands on this side it's Tails this side is heads waste your bets now all right oh you could burn myself oh I'm actually taking damage wait hold on hold on we will we will rock you oh got my hand stuck can I one-handed climb huh oh oh my God that was like in the video games but I did it for real my heart actually skipped a beat there I thought I was falling hello Big Boy dinner time [Music] anyone out here oh I'm yelling I couldn't tell because the audio's so bad it sounded like it was coming from down there hello little guy what's your name my name is Bob hello Bob oh I didn't mean to grab you there buddy sorry you dumb dumb idiot well well that was Bob everybody [Music] there's a lot of music in this [Music] oh my God there's a lot of nice little um things to do and play with in this game beautiful highlighted path oh no okay so this game's more of like a tech demo than an actual game I guess like crafting pots I think I'm gonna call it there for the initial VR experience I don't think there's real I think I hit my mic at some point while I was playing overall it's a fantastic VR headset the aim with the controllers was what was impressing me the most I've never felt like my aim was so perfect and I think a lot of that goes into the eye tracking but maybe also the gyro just better Tech than what I've used before couple of gripes the biggest one is these crappy earbuds I wish that there was on board sound it's such a small thing but it adds so much that onboard sound like with the Quest 2 is so nice and the audio quality is way better than these tiny little uncomfortable earbuds that kept falling out it's not the most comfortable headset it's definitely gonna take some getting used to the vision was super clear I really do like that not blurry at all I'll have my editor put up the specs of this headset right here but I know they're really good as far as the frame rates you can get out of these things the resolution the hurts all of those things being larger better bigger numbers these days is what's helping not film motion sick at all other than when I put on the Free Motion setting in this Horizon game but that's always per game I don't know if they're trying to make it slow thinking that helps but it doesn't help me at all so it's easier just putting on that snap feature controllers are nice really easy to set up and use so much better than the last VR unit all of that's fantastic if I was to review Horizon itself quickly based on the half an hour that I just played I really hope it opens up a little bit because right now it is a classic VR demo adjacent experience very on Rails very linear and then when that battle put me on a line and I could only move around in a circle that's when I instantly got slapped with the demo stick of just oh okay I'm beta testing something here so I hope there's some really cool experiences on the way to psvr2 some really cool exclusives but yeah for now I'll leave it there okay initially I was gonna leave my video there have it be kind of a first impression however I started thinking more and more about 600 and it started to not sit right with me to not at least experience some more of what this had to offer before I put my video out so the entire day it's like midnight right now I've just been playing VR and I gotta say it is a really good VR headset but it's very expensive and the audio is inexcusable I've had to plug in my hyperx headset into here and I'm glad I can at least do that I don't understand why not having onboard audio wasn't at least an option for 600 The Quest 2 is 300 well it was they actually increased the price to 400 but still 200 less and it has a feature this doesn't have when I sat down a strap on into all of this I felt like I was partaking in some kind of bondage Kink that I was not prepared for so that is a nightmare and there's the last thing I'll say about it the controllers no complaints other than they die so stupidly quick and then once they say they're low you have to go and charge them up in fact this right one is on charge right now for that very reason and since it only came with one charge cord I guess I'll charge the other one later it is USBC though so I can't just get another charge cord I'm being dramatic there but I wish I'd given me two chords or some kind of charging dock the biggest thing I want to add is I found out while recording my podcast on the weekend that the screen in here is actually an OLED screen and the resolution is a little better than the quest 2. that impressed me a lot and it explains why it is so clear and clean inside the headset I played some after the fall today which is an amazing left for dead Style game and it does look better in here than when I played on The Quest 2 even plugged into my beefy PC if you've ever gone from a switch to a switch OLED you know how much better that is and I think that's where your extra 200 something dollars is going into this thing over getting a quest it does look nice the colors do pop it is very clear I'm also finding aiming still so much easier using this headset and I think it has something to do with the eye tracking or maybe just the motion and the gyro whatever goes into this is just bad attack than what I've played with before and VR is just getting better my only other complaint after a day of playing is there's a bit of plastic that loops around the cord and this little bit of plastic sits right here on my forehead and it rubs and it's hard and it hurts quickly I played a few games today no man's sky is fantastic it had a Fidelity upgrade for the PlayStation VR2 and it does look really good and it plays really good when I play on my PC it stutters a lot for some reason which can make me feel motion sick the optimization here with these games even in that after the full game no stuttering it played so smooth Bob and I also tried this game called demio it's like a Dungeons and dragon style tabletop game that you kind of hover over but it's sick oh and I even tried that kayaking game someone said that was fun and that game is gorgeous I actually recommend that one I think this is overpriced I think for six hundred dollars this shouldn't look and feel so cheap it shouldn't hurt my head as much as it does it shouldn't have so much cheap rubber in it it should have audio built in so I don't have to wear headphones there's a lot I feel like this should have but everything it does have it's pretty good and if you already have a PlayStation and you want to play VR all up I guess this is an affordable way to do it I mean you look at doing this on anything else and you're gonna need the PC to run the VR games and if you want to run them as well as the PlayStation does you only need a pretty good PC so this is an affordable way to play some of the best VR games buy it or don't I really don't mind but I might make some more VR videos in the future I don't know why I went so Australian then oopsie bye
