The problem for PSVR2 is that the first one didn't really have any must-play games and the 2nd one's only game of note at launch is Horizon which is notorious for always releasing at the same time as some other action RPG that the mass market goes nuts for (Zelda and that Dark Souls game written by the Game of Thrones guy). It also doesn't help that there's no backward compatibility with PSVR1 games (that would allow devs to easily make cross-gen games and take advantage of the last gen VR install base), that the price is so high or that PS5s still aren't easy to buy. This feels like it could be another PSVR1 or PS Vita where Sony gets bored with it after it doesn't sell huge immediately and gives up.
Even as somebody whose game of the year for this year is Horizon 2, I'm unsure about paying $600 for a Horizon spinoff coming out at the same time as the Harry Potter RPG. I expect it to be sitting on the shelf for MSRP at your local Walmart, Target, GameStop or Best Buy on launch day and basically every day afterwards. The fact that I'm unsure whether or not I'll even bother preordering it or just wait until I'm ready to play Horizon is not a good sign.
- vlunkr 4y agoIt's an odd coincidence that Horizon Call of the Mountain is the flagship game for PSVR2 and Horizon Worlds is the game Meta is pushing for Oculus. Probably not great for Sony.
