Request for PS VR2 support for EA SPORTS WRC

Apparently from the codemasters discord, the info about it, is. That Sony and playstation haven't said that they want psvr2 support in the game.

So they don't plan on doing it..

I guess codemasters and EA, only want to squeeze money out of playstation if they're going to make it psvr2 compatible. They clearly have no other interest than to make max amount of profit, with the bare minimum of work.

Sadly the psvr2 owners seem to be way to stupid in general, to understand that they have to make their voices heard. Otherwise playstation will never know what the psvr2 players want.

And they will just continue releasing random "VR only" games.

I could be reading too much in between the lines here, but given Unreal Engine 5 was only released last year, the platform for WRC 23, then PSVR2 was only released earlier this year, then the delayed WRC release…I’m guessing they’re a little behind on development to start with to be able to squeeze in the work on PSVR2 for what otherwise would be a small number of users in comparison. If WRC is to be the yearly release like F1 then it’s likely we won’t see any VR2 support until atleast 24 onwards, rest assured they’ll be milking us as much as they can, it’s a business that exist to make money for share holders, think F1, no major innovation there since as far as I can remember maybe F1 2018… even further back. They’ll sell you WRC 23 because you can’t wait, it’d be loaded with issues and bugs, which they’ll fix and slap on a few more updates and on-sell as 24 the following year and so it goes the milking cycle. Or WRC could turn into that great evolving classic like the Gran Turismo series where the developers keeps building on it for a number of years staying loyal to their fans, time will tell.

Wow.  I don’t think that was said at all on the Discord channel or I think you may have misquoted it.

The only statement from a Codies marketing guy, PJ, which is clear it’s his own conjecture, states:

if the game comes out on PS and runs 100% smoothly, and the PCVR version runs 100% smoothly, maybe Codemasters will have more confidence to explore PSVR2.

That’s all that’s been said.  There is a bit more conjecture from him about moving to a new engine (Unreal from Ego) that might impact that decision but I can’t see how this is a problem.

Hey folks,

we don't have any further information on VR support currently, but I'm chasing this up and will let you know when we announce anything!

I’m a race car driver and you cannot posibly imagine how I looked forward to new and better WRC with VR Support on PS5 

Dirt Rally one is my most favorite game because I can play it in VR on PlayStation and not having VR for PS5 is a real bummer ☹️

Make PSVR2 version for us playing on PlayStation… pleeease 

Yep, here’s another PSVR2 owner who loves driving games. I’d buy it even if I knew it was in the pipeline but hearing ‘exclusive PC VR’ makes me want to save my money and wait for a driving game that does come to PSVR2. 

I wish Sony could work with developers to get this for a future update as they’ll then be able to sell more headsets and justify the high price. 

Wrc will be a game id play all the time if it had psvr2 compatability!  

Thanks for your response in this, appreciated.

If WRC23 is impossible, just implement PSVR2 support in WRC24 and let us know

I was very, very disappointed to hear that there was NOT going to be PSVR2 support for the new WRC 2023;

The game looks very good but after playing GT7 with the PSVR2v headset from launch I can't understand why WRC 2023 will not receive VR support on the PS5; race/rally games are so much better when played in VR; not seeing your livingroom but being really seated in the car is a mindblowing experience. So I'm still hoping that both Codemasters/EA will change their mind and implement PSVR2 support for this wonderful rally title coming early november.

There's also a PSVR2 WRC 2023 support topic on Reddit, perhaps anyone would like to contribute too;

This would be a day 1 purchase for me  if it was released with PSVR2 support and unfortunately won’t be purchasing unless it gets it.

This is also the first year I’ve held off buying F1 (2023) as there’s no going back to flat screen after the 500+ hrs of immersion I’ve had in VR with GT7.

I would love for both WRC and F1 2023 top be supported, as would purchase both immediately!
