PC or PSVR2? - Which is the best platform to play No Man's Sky in VR?

Thanks for this comprehensive comparison.

I've never been able to run reprojection on my Quest 2 without hitches and stutters in any game for some reason. They make the artifacts even more noticeable and distracting. I ended up setting VD to run at plain 60 fps and I get a more consistent experience in my games while also letting me crank up the graphics a bit more.

fortunately for me i have never noticed much reprojection on pc, but i notice it frequently on psvr2. it was a shock to see it so much since i wasn't used to noticing it. I remember thinking ah this is what they're always talking about on recentered. I've also never got sick on pc or quest, but i have felt a little nauseous several times in hubris on psvr2.

Have you tried setting the process priority to High for NMS in the Windows task manager? I find this helps with consistency in PCVR games

great video man! yeah consistency on PCVR still seems to be problem. I personally run it (on a 3090 with a Qpro via VD) on godlike, with all the AA options turned off, and at native 72hz. Looks super crisp, and really improves the sense of depth. worth people trying it out like that - but I'm going to go try running it at 120 with SS on after watching this, cheers!

Ive stopped playing nms altogether due to lousy vr performance on my pc 3080ti 10900k

Wow.. You have an Amstrad cpc 464... that was my very first gaming setup... with colour screen monitor,which was the style at the time 😄

I have a PC with basically the same components as you, and NMS runs at a super stable 72 fps, apart from the usual stutter when leaving atmosphere. With a mix of details between standard and enhanced except textures on high, GTAO on off (in VR it doesn't make much difference and is very heavy) DLSS on quality. Obviously VD set to godlike. I haven't tried the PSVR2 version yet, but I don't think it can be that sharp even with foveated rendering, but even if it were, a constant 72 fps is certainly better than 60 reprojected. Although I must say that VD's spacewarp has improved a lot (I'm seeing it in Microsoft Flight Simulator)

it would be fun if they could give us games that work ...

ohh Amstrad CPC 464, that was my 1st computer. Havn't seen one in a long time. Nice Vid, how do you feel about the negativity towards PSVR2 and the IGN article. I think no man sky is awesome on PSVR2 , no Faff, i've always had frame drops on PCVR originally with RTX2080, then RTX4070.

thank you for the video i have both psvr2 and quest 3 and mainly play no mans sky on psvr to for the reason you explained but i have a 6900xt ang it runs rubbish most vr titles my old 1080ti runs no mans sky better in vr than my amd 6900xt

Quest 3 compression artifacts ruin NMS for me. The night sky does not look good on Q3. I have ordered a Bigscreen Beyond because I need OLED on PC. After playing PSVR 2 I know OLED is an absolute must for VR.

Zuckerberg needs to keep checking that you are being a good little communist, get yourself a non fakebook headset!

Psvr2 version looks better

PSVR2 becoming compatible with PC is going to be huge for PCVR

Just to play no mans sky? 100% psvr 2 no question

Is that an Amstrad CPC464 in the background? I had the CPC6128 back in the day, Legendary stuff!!
