Well I know that I played several non VR games using PSVR on PS4 =p

Very cool. However while my laptop says VR Ready, I doubt it will run it at anything above barf level :)

Yes that can be done on PC too. But this isnt the same thing, this makes the game into VR, Not the same as playing the game on a big VR screen.

Playing non VR games using PSVR is just the same as using the PSVR screen as pseudo large screen TV to watch movies on, it's just using the screen as a display instead of a TV.

This mod is different than that while it doesn't replace Aloy it does attach an adjustable  camera to her that then displays the world in a first person VR viewpoint as you move through that world, sure it has it's limitations compared to a native VR game but for what it is and does it's pretty cool.

Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

I hope PSVR 2 becomes a success and Sony remasters a bunch of ps4 games for PSVR 2. The last of us 2 with floating 3rd person camera or first person added, God of War, imagine slinging through the city in VR in Spiderman. Sony already started with a TLG teaser in VR, would it be possible they continued with that for PSVR2 :)

Thanks for the explanation.

Perhaps this can get Sony to make a VR version of the original and even the new one, since they are making a PSVR2 exclusive this may make sense. Dunno how good the implementation will be though (and yes on PS4 limited resources it may not look very good)

Id imagine if a modder can do it this well on PC that Sony having access to the game code they would be able to do an even better job. I think if Sony ported most of their PS4 games to VR like SvennoJ said it would really boost sales. Not every game needs to use the motion controllers just like with Resi 7 and many other PSVR titles the controller would be good for most of them games. And modders have done great work with non VR titles converting them into VR on PC so id imagine like i said Sony having access to the code they would be able to do an even better job. Hell look at what modders have done with Resi 2 remake vr mod, they even added motion controllers for VR to that game.

Yes, a team working on how to implement VR to most games would improve the appeal a lot. Perhaps they are looking at it for PSVR2.
