To me, the PSVR is a cool thing to have, but I've only ever used it a couple times since I bought it. I bought a PS4 Pro within a week of getting a PSVR because I was hoping it would make things look a bit nicer. With the OG PS4, I was disappointed. The Pro didn't make it much better. Yes, the resolution is low, but from my experiences with it, the power of the PS4 Pro is not enough to fully utilize the resolutions of the PSVR.

When a game needs to run at 90 FPS, sacrifices need to be made, and while resolution was one of them, it wasn't the only area where cutbacks were made. There are certain visual styles that work better than others. Thumper looked alright, but a game like RE7 looked washed out and low-detail, despite still being scary as shit.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that the PSVR + PS4 Pro hardware was not quite enough to fully realize the potential of VR, and doesn't compare to the experience you would get with more high-end hardware. It was enough to tease me for what a PSVR2 could end up being, and I look forward to getting my hands (or head?) on the next installment.
