Sony announced a first title for their new VR headset and it is unsurpringly set in the Horizon universe. Horizon Call of the Mountain doesn't have any release date yet of course, but it will undoubtedly make the most of the new features of PS VR2. All the info can be found here but in a nutshell, the device will offer a 110-degree field of view, 4K and HDR support, OLED display with a 2000x2040 resolution per eye and eye-tracking among other things.

While the PlayStation 5 is very powerful and has a very fast SSD, I wonder how much of an impact being 4K will have on the visual quality of most games, given VR requires 90fps-120fps to avoid people feeling sick, if I'm not mistaken.
Still glad that Sony is sticking with VR, since neither Microsoft or Nintendo seem to be interested in it. This raises the chances that VR will end up being a permanent mainstay in gaming, which hopefully will drive interest, the technology and lower the price of entry further.
At the moment, the VR experience is very expensive - even more so if one goes for the best setups and headsets. Anyway, here's hoping it gets more and more successful so one day it's widely accessible to most people.
Not a good look for brand new tech.
