Nu ved vi lidt mere om PlayStation 5, men der er naturligvis stadig masser af ukendte faktorer omkring Sonys next-gen-planer, deriblandt hvad vi skal forvente af en potentiel PlayStation VR-efterfølger. Sony arbejder uden tvivl på sådan et headset, men hvad ønsker udviklerne sig egentlig af sådan et?
Spørger man udvikler og studieejer Jesse Schell, så ønsker han faktisk at Sony gik i en lidt anden retning, og designede headsettet mere som Oculus Quest, der som bekendt er et separat VR-headset, der altså ikke har brug for nogen konsol eller PC for at fungere. I et interview med WCCFTech siger han følgende:
"I think it would be great. I think everyone's staring at the Oculus Quest right now and trying to figure out what to do. 'Wait a minute, do we need to do that? Do we need a wireless system? Do we need a standalone system?' In my dream world, I'll tell you what Sony would do. In my dream world, Sony would come out with a headset that's kind of like the Nintendo Switch but for VR. You can imagine a headset that is standalone like the Quest, but if you plug it into your PlayStation 5, you get more powerful games. So sort of like people using the Oculus Quest. Now, you can run games independently, or you can use Quest Link and run PC quality games through the headset. And you can have the choice of doing either one. I think Sony would be well positioned to do something like that if they care to. But I guess it remains to be seen how they'll feel about that."
Vi må afvente og se om Sony faktisk laver en "Switch for VR", eller om hvorvidt PSVR 2 benytter sig af samme basale opsætning som sin forgænger.
