my ranking for PS home consoles:

PS1 - 9/10

PS2 - 8.5/10

PS3 - 9.5/10

PS4 - 8.5/10

PS5 - 5/10

I've got PS4 and PS5 titles, all with far better to nearly no Load Times. Like the tech, games run great, has my new favorite controller, I like that its upgradable (have a PS5 Pro with an additional 2TB SSD installed) and that PSSR and FSR 4 are gonna be implemented without a hardware upgrade.

I'm current sucked in to Hitman WoA, 115 hours spend on it already. 

Upcoming games I'm certainly getting is Aces of Thunder (Ace Combat), Thief: Legacy of Shadows, Cave Crave (July 10th spelunking), Low-Fi (Cyberpunk), Dreams of Another (Q-games from the Pixeljunk series)

Games I have sitting in my backlog to play: The Midnight Walk, Epyka, Arizona Sunshine 2, Wall Town Wonders, Into the radius, System Critical 2, Wanderer Fragments of Fate, Alien: Rogue incursion, Behemoth, Metro Awakening, The Room VR, Hubris, (Another) Fisherman's Tale.

Still want to go back to and finish Madison VR, Propagation Paradise Hotel (Silent Hill 1 clone), Paper Beast, Red Matter 2. Max Mustard, Ven VR.

Plus there are always more puzzles for Puzzling Places, more fun in GT7, more fun with Synthriders.


Yeah most are smaller titles, also cheaper. Aces of Thunder and Thief should have a lot of content. 

There are other larger games like Arken Age but that's not my cup of tea. I would try it if I had more time but sword fighting in VR isn't all that great imo. (Behemoth has it as well but I want to play that for the SotC boss fights)

Racing is indeed far easier in VR. If they don't complicate things that is. I just bought VRider SBK, that still needs some polish. Main issue is you have to hold your arms out pretending you're holding handle bars and lean to steer. Just let me use an analog stick like Exocars and GT7 :) (Got some tips for VRider to put your elbows on your thighs and race like that leaning forward...)

Yet judging braking distances feels natural in VR, as well as your peripheral vision giving you information on how the car is positioned in turns, distance to the side, closing rate to the walls / edges and so on.

Everything is easier actually, throwing is the best example. Shooting, platforming (judging distances), awareness of your surroundings, not getting lost, making a mental map. 

But you have to be content with DVD quality visuals. The resolution isn't there yet, nor the power. To get the same fidelity as on a 4K TV you need 8K per eye, we're at 2K per eye now.

Here is a fun fact: 

I don't have a PS5, but I own a PSVR2 + a Logitech G923. They've been collecting dust since early 2023.

VR in RE8 and GT7 is a near transcendental experience, provided it doesn't make you feel sick and you're okay with more plastic junk cluttering your room. It did easily make me sick, and I'm something of a minimalistic clean freak. But I'll try it again the future.

I think it's safe to say that PSVR2 underperformed relative to PSVR1, but I don't regret buying mine, as the time will come when I put more hours into it. And the little that I experienced did leave me mind blown (and nauseatic T_T).

If I had got a PS4 last gen I would probably rank the PS5 lower. But since I hade pretty much a whole generation of games to play I don't notice the lack of new releases as much.
I like the controller a lot more than any other controller from Sony. I like the menu more than the one found on PS3.
I'm conflicted about the physical appearance. I think no console really look good, but many come in smaller black units easier to hide, while this tall thick boy just demands the room.

Not highly enough to buy one, which is a first for me since the PS1.
