Initially, I had some reservations regarding the new virtual reality headset. Its high price tag ($869) and requirement for a PlayStation 5 gave the impression that it would be difficult for it to compete with rival virtual reality headsets such as the Pico 4. But after giving it a shot myself in the form of a demonstration at Sony's local office, my opinion shifted. I was astounded by how high-quality the OLED display was, as well as by how immersive the haptic feedback was, and how futuristic the eye-tracking technology seemed.
In comparison to the first iteration of PS VR, the controllers featured a number of notable advancements including doing away with the chunky PS VR headset connection adapter and the need for a separate AC adapter. I had the opportunity to play the launch title Horizon: Call of the Mountain for more than half an hour, and it was a fantastic adventure during the entire time. Here are my highlights.
When I put on the PS VR2 headset, one of the first things that stood out to me was how incredible the visual fidelity was. The optics were transparent and had a broad field of view. Additionally, the high dynamic range OLED display offered contrast that was unparalleled. LCD headsets aren't quite able to match the level of darkness that OLED can achieve, which gave me the impression that I was completely immersed in darkness. The field of view on the original PSVR was substantially narrower and made the experience less immersive.
