Moss & Moss 2 PSVR2 - Blu-ray Forum

Vincanws · 03-05-2023, 11:30 PM

Recently released on PSVR2 with improved visuals and haptic and sense controller support and I've found them a revelation. Again I didn't know what to expect but have been really impressed. If you're into 3d platformers these are a good looking chill experience with creative levels and puzzles really immersive in the headset that aren't too long. Until recently both games together were £29 / $36. They went up by $4 but still a good price.

Moss & Moss 2 PSVR2 Announcement

I played Moss on the original PSVR and very much enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to replying an improved version of the original and its sequel.

Thanks for the video above. That monotone robot AI voice I had to mute, but good to see them show a detailed video on the features.

The Moss games are two of the best things on PSVR1, and with tracking improvements for the orb to control objects separately from Quill's free movement with the controller input, is a major improvement over the often lost floating orb results of bad tracking in PSVR1.

In PSVR1, I would go to move an object, and have to make several attempts as my blue orb kept drifting away off screen since the PSVR1 separate TV camera was losing sight of the blue controller light at different angles needed to move the object to solve a puzzle for Quill to run through.

What is the best about these games, would be the ability to full control Quill at all times, to move through each frame of the adventure. Then the ability to look closely at the great detail of each section. Visually, two of the best games on PSVR1 and PSVR2 I bet. Plus for VR, there is no moving camera, so you won't get motion sickness with this game.
Then in Moss 1, the puzzles were a challenge but logical.

Moss 2, I have to finish that one as I'm having trouble with some later puzzles. They changed the logic of the puzzles by a lot, without fully explaining the new shift, so I was going by the old logic which wasn't solving a later puzzle at all.

Overall though, Moss 1 and 2 are must-play games for PSVR1 and 2.

Having to rebuy them again though, that's a damper for anyone who already invested $80+ on the first two on PSVR1. $34 for both though would be at least a better price than that for each.

Plus it's from an indie developer, so they need to make money for their efforts to adapt it for the new set up, which takes time.

Looks like the trophies are thankfully the same.

Really upset there's no upgrade path and no autopop.

Just how much better are the graphics?

Does make me kind of wish I had been disciplined enough to wait on Moss 2 but I couldn't resist.

$35 for the upgrade is one way of looking at it, rather than having to pay a full $39.99 x 2 = $80+ again for both games. But yes, if you already completed them, that's a hefty price.

Yes, I will expect much higher resolution for the distance backgrounds. In PSVR1, everything looks sharp and nice close up, but the further back you look in Moss 1 and 2, the more jagged it looks, but nothing as bad as RE7 or other games like Xing on PSVR1. So PSVR2 will hopefully eliminate most of that.

The game already looks excellent, so I'll expect a minimal graphical upgrade. Maybe more rounded edges for some objects.

For those with PSVR2 who never played the Moss games, they're fun adventure, puzzle games where you directly control the Mouse character, and with your orb, occasionally help them solve puzzles by moving objects. Quill the mouse uses her sword to battle beetles and creatures, timing her attacks as needed. Great game.

has anyone played Moss &/or Moss 2 both on PSVR and PSVR2?

Vincanws · 03-17-2023, 12:37 AM

Only PSVR2 here, but I've 100% them both now. Moss 2 was even more impressive than the first game. I really hope there are more 3d platformers as good as these that come to the platform. As far as I can tell the improvements to the PSVR1 versions are textures, resolution, and headset and controller haptic support.

I just wish I could experience what the resolution difference actually looks like lol. I don't really care about haptics.

I think Chet played both PSVR1 Moss and PSVR2 Moss, and liked it better on PSVR2. As far as improvements:

Controls more accurate. PSVR1's Orb would drift out of my grasp very often, resulting in frustration due to the limits of the camera to track the controller light bar.

This video lists new features of the games:

[Show spoiler]

Actually, I see it's listed above for the video too.
