All i want to know is what will it do for my PSVR? I'll pay for it the second I get official confirmation that my games will like shaper. |
So far there's very little info on psvr upgrades, but there is this
And there will be boosts for VR games too, with hardware multi-res support that should improve performance on second-gen PSVR titles. Second-gen PSVR titles will be able to leverage bespoke multi-resolution technology that allows the 'edges' of the view here to be rendered at a lower resolution. There'll be a big boost to performance with no noticeable impact to image quality in the HMD.
Since the image in the headset is warped due to how the lenses work, a lot of the pixels rendered near the borders will never be visible in the final image.
PS4 pro gets hardware support to save rendering the wasted space, which means it can already increase the overall perceived resolution by bumping it up in the center for the same cost. And then you still get the 1.3x CPU increase and 2.3x GPU. Supersampling will help out psvr a lot too.

I'm optimistic but torn. I don't want to preorder and spend $400 for benefits I don't really care about (TV resolution.) but I also don't want to miss out on launch day and be unable to find a console if it does boost performance--or even does away with some of those PSVR connection cables!
I think I'm going to go ahead and bite the bullet, though. I've already cleared a spot in my living room for my older PS4 so I can put the Pro in my game room. I'm just lying to myself when I say I won't buy one. I know me too well!
