Sony’s revenge virtual reality headset that focuses on convenience and ease of use. Ready to pack technology to add new features to make you feel amazed, just like the nickname Feel a new real
For the device contained within the box worth over twenty thousand baht. When unpacking the box, there will be a total of 5 pieces together, with the first star protagonist lying on the bottom with the glasses. PlayStation VR2 Plain white matches the PS5 console, while the other two devices placed next to each other are the PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers with a sleek, curved design. While the small box at the top will store devices such as USB charging cables and in-ear stereo headphones called this time, they come in a minimalist concept. Less equipment but full of quality
Let’s start with the PS VR2 headset first. Its appearance, size and design remain the same as the original PS VR headset. Plus, the weight when holding and wearing is similar. The PS VR2 headset, without the cable, weighs 560 grams, slightly lighter than the 600-gram first model. Up to 2000 x 2040 per eye, crystal clear 4K (but don’t expect it to be crystal clear like watching on a TV screen. Because of the integration of images from two eyes, there must be some points out of focus that look blurry) along with a vibration mechanism. Built-in microphone Including installing 4 front motion sensor cameras and 2 internal eye detection cameras to complete Therefore, there is no need to buy additional Camera accessories to hang on the TV anymore.
back to the controller PS VR2 Sense Both are lightweight, 168 grams on each side. The square triangle button position is on the left joystick. While the circle button, the cross is on the right side of the controller. Both of them have their own analog stick on the left side to control the character to walk. The right side is used to rotate the camera angle in the game. As for the L2, R2 trigger buttons, as well as the Options and Create buttons, they are all in the same positions that we are used to as when playing a regular joystick. Except, only the L1 and R1 buttons have been relocated to the grip. It matches the position of our middle finger.
The white circle that wraps around our hands Many people may think that it is for beauty. But in fact, it has many benefits, including helping to detect movement when turning the wrist. It’s a shield to protect the joy itself. and reduce impact on furniture and home appliances It also acts as a base to place the controller on level ground. Must compliment the design people that they really understand and think. In addition, the wrist strap attached to the controller can be easily rotated off or twisted back on easily. specifically Therefore, it is not suitable if you pick it up to play other games that are not made to support VR glasses, which Sony chose to cut it from the beginning. By locking all PS VR2 Sense’s cut off buttons when it detects that you’re playing a normal game. You’ll go all the way back to the title menu screen and you won’t be able to press anything other than the PS button to return to the PS5 home screen.
After completing the unboxing process The next step is to start connecting. It is recommended to first sync the PS VR2 Sense controller to the PS5 console via USB cable. And must repeat the same for both controllers. Of course, the battery of the product that has just been taken out of the box will have very little left. Before using it for the first time, we should fully charge it. Which doesn’t take much time because its battery is only 520 mAh. Charge it in a moment and it’s done. But the real problem is that it has two controllers left and right. If we use a USB cable to charge it, it will be quite messy and clutter up the console’s USB ports. Therefore, if anyone has money left over, they should invest a little more. Grab the Sony PS VR2 charging dock accessory and take it home with you. So that you don’t have to be tired and complicated later. I have warned you!
Once the controller has been synced to the console and the battery is fully charged. Next, it’s time to put on VR glasses. The method is as simple as taking the cable from the glasses and plugging it into the USB Type-C port on the front of the PS5 console. under glasses If the light turns white and there is a slight vibration Shows that our VR glasses are ready to use. In which the first setup will have a description with illustrations for us to follow through the television screen. Detailed teaching from how to put on headphones. How to pull the headband How to adjust the lens focus to scan our living room to see if there is enough space or not The recommended room size should be 2 meters wide and 2 meters long. The trick is that we try to find an open area in the room and stand there to play. You don’t have to stand in front of the sofa or in the middle of the TV screen exactly like before. Because the play zone will follow us everywhere. Plus, after setting up the device for the first time, the TV is no longer necessary to play VR.
For the first game that we try to test, it is Horizon Call of the Mountain An action-adventure game in the world of machine monsters. In which we will play the role of Ryas, the protagonist, a young prisoner who is being held in a courier. But on the way back, he was attacked by a machine, so he had to survive alone. which opened the first scene and made us cry quite wow with the scene where the protagonist sits in a boat that is cruising down a river Both sides were full of mechanical beasts. We can put our hands in the water. Point the bird, point the stick, make various hand symbols freely because the controller has a detection system. Finger Touch Detection who can know that our fingers are clutching or opening While the eye sensor will be used to look at menu selections instead of the old analog push. And because the protagonist is a hunter who specializes in climbing In the game, we will have to do a scrambling gesture, press the L2 button to switch to R2 to use each hand to hold the stone one by one, often pushing up. If it encounters an enemy, it pulls out an arrow and shoots it with its trajectory going exactly along the line of sight that we are aiming for. It is a very satisfying experience that everyone wants to try with their own eyes.
later Kayak VR: Mirage Kayaking sports game from an indie development team that was previously critically acclaimed on Steam. Because it makes you feel close to the nature of the turquoise sea, clear and beautiful, you can see crabs and fish. In addition, I also exercised my arms and grasped the two ends of the paddle, alternating left and right. In which the game is available to play in both free roam, paddle, free view and race in which we have to paddle through the checkpoint and reach the finish line faster than other paddlers The techniques for paddling are from the basic level, using the weight of the body to lean into the curve. To more advanced techniques, immersing a stick in one side to break the drift and turn the boat at speed. It’s called that if you want to be good at it, you need to spend some time practicing.
Coming to the final test game Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge – Enhanced Edition This is another old work that has been reworked to port to PS VR2, it will collect all the DLC content to complete. With the story of the action protagonist who has to give up the ship to the planet Batu There he meets a bartender who likes to tell us strange legends about the galaxy. And sometimes we have to play the role of the protagonist in the legend he tells. This game focuses on interacting with objects. pick up, lift up, shine put in bag Seeing something broken, you need to use tools to repair it back to normal. While the battle scenes will focus on wielding two blaster guns to shoot in exchange for enemies. Occasionally, a lightsaber might be used to slash. But as it is an old game, the graphics may look outdated and the features of the PS VR2 Sense controller may not be fully utilized, such as eye detection and finger touch. that are not used in this game
As for the Motion Sickness problem, it’s known as “VR”, and somehow it’s inevitable that dizziness is similar to car sickness when playing for a while. Although most games try to keep players facing straight to avoid traversing in circles. But there may be some situations where we need to rotate the camera. For example, in Horizon Call of the Mountain sometimes you have to climb to the side or behind buildings. If we want to climb properly, we have to move the right analog, turn the camera facing the wall. Panning of the camera that is not caused by tilting our heads in VR will confuse our brains and lead to nausea. Until now, there is still no way to eliminate and dispel these symptoms completely. But there is a relief for those who really want to play or have to live with it. The first is you should stand and play so that the body is constantly moving, it’s better to feel a little tired than to get drunk should turn on the air conditioner Or wait to play in the winter – after the rain, cool weather to reduce the temperature to make the body feel comfortable, refreshed, not tired, try not to sweat. and the last important thing is It only takes a short time to play, don’t overdo it. Theoretically, in the manual, it is written to play for 1 hour and then take a 15-minute break, but practice suggests that you should stop early and take a longer break. For example, I’m easily drunk, the limit is 30 minutes at a time, which time may be more or less depending on the individual’s physical condition. If you start feeling dizzy and uncomfortable, you should immediately take off your glasses and cover it, don’t force it, the symptoms will be worse Think of it as “wasabi”. Taste a little bit on your tongue and your virtual life will be smoother and less bitter.
“If you ask me what I’m impressed with in PS VR2, after reading this much, many people will probably guess my mind. Of course, my favorite has to be the gyro controller, which is well designed to fit any genre of VR games. Plus detecting details, accurate, finger-tighten I like it even if I want Sony to capture various sensor technologies from the glasses and move them to install on the joystick instead. And then play it through a normal TV screen like a Wii machine or maybe add an additional screen in the middle between the two joysticks, imitating the Nintendo Switch even. That said, this is not to say that the new VR glasses are not good. okay Because the glasses themselves have a lot of wow and cool technology. It’s just not the way for me. which in addition to feeling uncomfortable and dizzy every time you wear it The long hair is also an obstacle to playing as well, because it will like to close the eyes, and the slippery of the hair also allows the headset to move from the position in the game, blurred, easy to focus. Always looking for a cap to wear upside down like a b-boy, always fix the hair first. Why do you have to close the window and pull the room divider to open the air conditioner? Which furniture must be moved to have enough space? Despite how much our hearts desire to go back into the virtual world But with the fact that there are a lot of things that have to be organized here and there to be fun to play So he felt tired, discouraged, resistant, heavy wood, didn’t want to pick up glasses to wear because just thinking of what to do, it was already emotional.
As for anyone who can accept it, there is no problem, there is both physical condition and location as if he was born for VR. I can only say that PlayStation VR2 is something that you need to provide at home. Don’t worry about the price because many people complain that it’s too expensive. It’s true if you take the console as a measure. But if you compare it to the price of other VR glasses on the market With the technology that Sony has put in, we think it’s reasonable for the price of twenty thousand. Therefore, the issue of value should focus more on the games that are available to play. At present, there are still very few really fresh big games. Most of them are old port games from PC or first generation PS VR games that have been upgraded. We think this issue is more worrying than the price, because if Sony still trusts the third party camp to let indie games occupy the store like this We ourselves are often afraid that history might repeat itself just like the older glasses.”
