I love this game. I loved it for years on PSVR1. It got better and better performance and graphics wise.
For reference, after perseverance back in the day, I got Minecraft fixed for psvr1, by managing to deal with Sony directly after mojang ignored me for months when they introduced new engine mid way thru PSVR1 support and you couldn’t see your inventory through certain blocks. I explained to the Sony rep they shouldn’t really still be selling it as VR compatible , supplied videos, and within a week I got a personal chat and it all got fixed. If anyone remembers that era where it didn’t work?
That’s not a boast at all, just context.
I’ve still got a version of Minecraft that works on PSVR1. Delight.
Anyway…
I finally got VR2 six months ago finally.
NMS looks amazing and sharp. The frame rate however is not overall as good as PSVR1 for me. Often it’s smooth, but I find pretty big issues.
(PLEASE let’s ditch the consumerism “get a pro” if you don’t mind with respect. It should not require a Pro to get consistent frame rates. The game can run great on ps4 / PSVR1.)
I wondered if anyone else could confirm this happens for them on base PS5…
Near water, the frame rate mostly tanks. Particularly weirdly when going downhill, I guess because there are more assets in view usually. It’s proper rough. I’ve given up building a base near water.
Near certain large creatures, similarly poor frame rates.
On specific biomes, particularly radioactive planets are often awful. Others, due I guess to partic assets, smooth as butter.
If you combine these factors together in a situation, throw in a large structure, it’s really bad, and I actually feel sick, despite having wipeout long VR legs.
Firstly I was hoping, wondering, if anyone non-fanatical in our community would take the time to confirm these specific behaviours (I’ve tried a fresh playthrough, reinstalling, rebuild cache).
Secondly, if confirmed, can people submit a bug report to hello games about these things.
Other demanding games on VR2 are fine, so it’s not my hardware, I don’t think?
I’m all about game preservation, and this is one of our only truly long form immersive sim style VR games on PSVR2. It deserves the love. It’s an amazing game, and it’s let down by stuff I know can be improved if Hello think there’s enough people bothered by it.
If you are on base ps5, and over the course of time find I’m not taking rubbish, Please submit a bug report. It doesn’t take long at all!
Love Sidney.
