The EGMR journalist who wants Destiny to fail wants No Man's Sky to succeed, and he's done a follow-up article to detail exactly why.
Quote: "The thing is, there is a game that I hold in the highest esteem, that is an almost direct comparison to Destiny and yet I consider it to be superior in almost every possible way. And I thought it would be a cool idea (if only just to have a tongue-in-cheek shot at the hundreds of commenting readers who now wish me dead) to list those out in a separate column piece. Specifically, this one. Here, today. "
Orbital update drops today, also bringing with it engine improvements and UI refresh.
The support they've given this game only makes me more interested in their next game.
If you're looking for 'must have' PSVR 2 games then look no further. These are the 10 titles every PSVR 2 owner should have in their library.
If you're wanting more PSVR 2 support, you should probably buy all of these games.
Speak with your wallet!
Bit rich to have to buy games you don't want because you want Sony to support the expensive headset they sold us which cost as much as the console it runs on beyond paying third partys to support it.
Seriously in terms of first party we have horizon on day 1 and a gt 7 vr mode.
They seemingly have made little effort to support it beyond paying Capcom to make re games in VR or a second party studio to make firewall which was mismanaged.
I'm a day 1 psvr2 user and the only thing I'm excited for right now is PC support.
I commented recently this bespoke VR game development model we have right now clearly doesn't work
On the one hand I feel like there's been plenty of smaller non-AAA games to play and occupy me as a supplement to my flat screen gaming.
But I agree that Sony has done nothing to elevate this beyond the niche it's in and into the mainstream where it would be economical to create AAA games for it.
Most of these games are worth owning for most people; I own all but 2 of them in fact. So I agree with kevco33. I think you're crazy if you downplay this list quite frankly. Sony can't keep funding software if people don't buy any of it, the ball is squarely in OUR court.
Sony has spent a lot on 3rd party stuff this gen like RE.
Saving up for the headset is my first hurdle. Let alone buying games I don't want lol
People downvoting you for not having enough finances...what a world we live in, haha
@mudako
They feel affronted at the very thought that I don't plunk down 500 immediately lol I have a little over 900 games in my backlog I've been buying games instead of hardware ever since I got my PC and ps5. I just don't know if vr is really for me honestly. Every time I have a couple hundred allocated to video games it makes more sense to buy a bunch of flat games instead of vr ones
I have 9 out of these 10 games. I try to buy all the VR games I like to support the advancement of VR!
I spoke with my wallet after watching the first headset get weak support. Easy pass until Sony earns my money. Feel bad for those who parted with 500 bucks, falling for the hype that Sony was actually gonna support this thing.
I'm trying to decide if it's worth holding onto my psvr 2. I enjoy what it has currently, but it seems unlikely to get anything else. Might be better off just waiting for something with more support if that ever comes.
As a fellow psvr2 owner the question seemingly comes down to do you own a PC.
I think I'm all in I have a habit to hold onto my systems anyhow I still have my psvr1 to hell I still have my NES.
But while it's still worth something yeah you could sell it and if Sony turns the ship around you should be able to buy another one for less than you soldmit for I feel like we won't see any fix for the headset for the next 2 years rumours show that Sony has no current first party VR games in active development after they closed London studios
The whole psvr2 situation has left me feeling a little burnt on PlayStation as a whole to be honest. The first psvr felt experimental but it was supported far more than this superior headset
GT7 surprised me, because I hate racing games, but i poured 100 hours into it way too quickly.
I’m looking forward to the Metro VR game this year, and I hope that WW2 dogfighter game releases eventually.
I have most of them 😅
Waiting for a sale on Synapse and Arizona Sunshine 2.....also Metro coming this year looks great.
HelloGames:

This is the best time for players old and new to come together and explore the universe.
Everyone does, its a promising looking game
First of all, everyone does. I don't share the impression that game journalists are as negative as this article would have it. To me, it seems many of them (though, definitely not all) will hype pretty much anything.
Also, for most of the text I felt like the comparison between Destiny and No Man's Sky was pretty pointless. Even though they're both games set in sci-fi universes, No Man's Sky is conceptually more similar to Minecraft than to Destiny. But, the Star Trek - Star Wars analogy in the middle of the text was really clever. So in retrospect, I see where the author is coming from.
I want it to succeed for the mere purpose of a PC port. It's looking to be a great game and it shouldn't be bound to one console. Hopefully those images of Hello Game's whiteboards are true and they're currently working on that PC port.
I'll be honest, I'm a lot less enthused for a PC "port". Not that it had to be exclusive to the PC, or any other platform, but it might have benefited from an audience already primed for this sort of game.
I don't begrudge them for making it a timed exclusive to PS4 and I certainly hope PS4 gamers reward their efforts, but I'm not that excited about a "port" of this game.
Everyone wants this one of a kind game to succeed except indie hating, douche bag, fan boys.
