Re: F1 23 PSVR 2

Owners of both PC's with VR and PS5 PSVR 2 would much prefer to play F1 2023 on the PSVR 2.  The average PC VR user doesn't have such advanced VR headset features that the PSVR 2 does including 4K OLED displays foveated rendering, eye tracking 90HZ at 110 FoV and so much more.  



I would purchase this F1 2023 game only if it becomes available on the PSVR 2.  I already have most PC VR titles and don't play them anymore since Gran Turismo 7 came out on PS5's PSVR 2.  For the majority of gamers that don't have access to high PC or VR specs the low cost and high quality PSVR 2 units is the way to go for hyper realistic car racing on a lower budget.  



Sure you can spend $20K on a superior PC rig but even a more basic port of F1 2023 onto a PS5 PSVR 2 with reduced textures or what ever elements would need to be reduced to function on the PSVR 2 therefore Sony's version would still hold up pretty well to such expensive gear. 



A solution can be found to successfully from AE directly or a third party developer on a licensing deal even to port this onto the PSVR 2 so why wouldn't EA do it at launch or eventually by releasing a software update? You don't like earning extra revenues from folks like me or something? 



If I'm firing up my PC to try VR sim racing then I much prefer the many other alternatives such as Assetto Corsa, iRacing and so many others that take full advantage of the more advanced PC specs to constantly recalculate minute details such as hyper realistic tire and other component ware etc. 



But EA's F1 lends itself to be played on consoles and especially on PSVR 2!  Maybe a couple EA developers can try it out to see what I mean.  F1 2023 on PS5 PSVR 2 is the perfect match! Please launch this PS5 title in a big way and include PSVR 2 functionality.  PSVR 2 gamers like myself will purchase it immediately once that happens.

    I'm getting the impression that PC VR support is going to still be patchy in F123 and this is the reason it's not coming to PSVR2. So much for the two year development cycle.

    Maybe the game engine can't cope well with VR who knows. I guess we will wait and see but there's not much talk about VR on YouTube about it when there are a handful of videos discussing the improved handling model. It all seems a bit fishy.

    Handling model is more important to gamers.  Even the most popular off YouTubers with high end sim rigs are still not using VR.. why isn’t Super GT using PSVR2… He has it… but he still prefers not to use it.  

    VR is still very Niche.  And as I’ve said before.  It’s been around for decades but still hasn’t gained traction.  It only appeals to the likes of you few guys.  

    Not fishy at all.

    @ScarDuck14 That’s nog realy treu, a lot of youtubers (kie25, rory, casual racing gamer) they all use vr just not on stream cause they can’t interact with the chat in vr.

    But i think the point is not wheter F1 supports vr or not the point is why only on one platform

    @ha6hk3w77mwj Cause it’s still niche.

    But like another poster said you need to post your petition in other places. 60ish signatures after a week isn’t going to get anyone’s attention

    Look I think the possibilities for VR are more than I can imagine. But still it’s not for me.

    I’ve put in thousands upon thousands of hours into this franchise and quite happy with my humble tv.

    Playing games for most Is a casual social thing. Really hard to interact (your words) with your mates sitting next to you when you have a vr set on

    @coopa300Which is part off the problem for VR. As I hate being social you would think I’d be loving the VR being wrapped up in my own little world. I have plenty off disposable cash But it’s one step too far for me.

    @ScarDuck14 Whilst I appreciate your point of view there are certain parts of the game I couldn't care less about either such as multiplayer. I however realise that for many people that's the main reason they buy the game so expect it to be in there to cater to everyone and so should PVR2 support. I would hazard a guess VR support on console would be a far bigger feature than F1 world or whatever its called that nobody cares about.

    For many people being in VR and feeling like you are there is their most sought after feature probably after the gameplay being solid. Lots of people have dreamed of the moment they can race F1 cars in VR since gaming was in its infancy and we finally get the tech to do it and they whimp out. The amazing feedback with GT7 VR just goes to show the appetite is stronger in mainstream gaming than the petition or forums here would have you believe where only a few people would bother to look it up.

    Basically its a feature they can't nickle and dime the customer with but failed to realise in their short-sightedness it would have attracted tens of thousands of new players all coughing up £60 to give it a go like they did with gran turismo.

    Let's see what F1 World is actually like. This has nothing to do with VR but saying that nobody cares about this seems a huge stretch to me, and personally I'm interested to try this. It's nothing like F1 Life where this was far more true.

    @ha6hk3w77mwj Yes they will because you can’t play multiplayer without going through F1 world..

    F1 world is not F1 life or anything like it

    @ScarDuck14 People who play online only care about driving F1 cars against eachother you want to call that F1 world, fine but all the crap around just race online they don’t care about. Same goes for all the F1 life features and the hyper cars

    @ha6hk3w77mwj I didn’t call it anything. Considering multiplayer is a significant part of the player base they should get decent features which are included in F1 world.

    Also I like to point out I’ve played over 2500 hours across the last 3 games. Not a single minute have I played online.

    @ScarDuck14 Neither have i, F1 is my most played game sinds 2010 exept for F1’22 wich i played only for 40 hours in total (that game sucks) players who play online (i do in gt7) only care about competition

    @ha6hk3w77mwj I think As we are older and wiser👍😁. We know we have nothing to prove so don’t need to validate ourselves😁

    Not to mention if your like me. The thought off being beaten by a 12 year old is to much.. 😂

    @ScarDuck14 That’s a fact, problem if you get older and get a family you don’t have the time to put in a game like these kids have

    Bear in mind F1 World isn't only a multiplayer feature. I think the expectation is that everyone will be playing it.

    Definitely for stuff like ranked multiplayer. For the sake of league racing I really hope there is still a way to play a traditional equal car lobby though which would have nothing to do with the F1 World upgrade system. I'll be honest I can't actually see this being obviously available in the last 'deep dive' video though. It had better be there! If everyone is forced to use the in-game league option (which is a menu option outside of F1 World) there are likely to be a lot of very unhappy players...

    @Ultrasonic_77 At the end of the day, i don’t realy care about F1’23 without psvr🤷🏻 i won’t buy it anyways. I also havn’t looked at any of the deep dives and i don’t realy follow what kind of features is has. So i wouldn’t know much about it. Without seeing or playing it this is allready my most dissapointed F1 game ever

    @ha6hk3w77mwj But at the same time it’s probably the best F1 game when it comes to gameplay.

    take 4 minutes to watch the deep dive.

    @ha6hk3w77mwj Don't expect VR for ALL platforms without a new gaming engine as I dont believe this engine can handle it.

    @ScarDuck14 It might be the best in terms of gameplay, but i don’t enjoy playing racegames on a flat screen after GT7 vr. I’m not going to look at a deep dive because it would make me just think what if……

    I like F1 but not supporting PSVR2 is a show stopper for me. On PC you can use tripple screens, on PS5 you can not. So PSVR2 is the only way to go to get a realistic experience. GT7 in VR is so much more realistic, I can not go back to flat, too. I'll skip F1 until PSVR2 is supported, then I'll come back. I hope that will happen soon, but I don't think so. That would be a pity.
