The original PSVR headset proved a pretty decent and most affordable alternative to the VR headsets of its time. Unfortunately, just like the PSVita, the EyeToy, the Playstation Move, and who knows how many other made-up-sounding MacGuffins, the Sony VR headset ended up as little more than yet another gimmick. I sure hope the second time is a charm because Sony just unveiled the ultra-sexy PSVR2, and If VR really wants to be the next big thing, there is no better way to catapult it than Sony’s ultra-successful console.

What Sony spared in color choice, it invested in Playstation’s first set of dedicated ergonomic controls as well as a superior screen that’s full of bells and whistles. Ok, not literal bells, but whistles for sure since it’s going to have an inner ventilation system in order to prevent lens fog. It all looks great, but I don’t think anyone ever doubted that the tech would be great. The elephant in the room here is what is Sony going to use this certainly expensive peripheral for?
Is it going to be yet another showcase of projects that seem full of possibilities but end up being more of a train ride than an actual game, or are Playstation fans finally going to get their first AAA VR exclusive? Let’s face it, it’s not through superior technology that Sony’s been winning every battle of the made-up console war; it’s because of the more immersive games it keeps coming up with. That shouldn’t feel like too-crazy-a-bet when the objective of VR is to offer a level of first-person immersion that’s outside the reach of regular games – regardless of how good they are.
