Like the old motion cameras from the previous PS3/X360 era, I felt it was a fad. And while it seems they made several genuinely good games for the format, it appears it has been flooded once again with mediocre titles. Link to post Share on other sites

And while it seems they made several genuinely good games for the format, it appears it has been flooded once again with mediocre titles. I bought a V2 Helmet and to be honest I have rarely used it, mainly because it always seem to sweat up inside and the resolution has been too low on most games, Wipeout Omega pack excepting. I agree about the VR games over all, a lot of so so titles, and what there are are usually short. TBH Sony bringing out a new development pack for it isn't going to help matters, it's just another expense for any studio that might consider making a VR game, and train a few staff to work solely on it. There is already a compatibility problem with the PS5 using the current VR helmet, you need a adapter. I got a Email from Sony on the 8th of Dec 2020 asking my to supply my VR helmet serial number to claim a adapter [They said the adapter will not be available for sale], I've had several emails since saying there is manufacturing delays, the last email said to expect it in around 8 weeks time, which would now make it around mid April.
