It's not complete horseshit. The old controllers have more buttons on them and the new controllers have thumbsticks, so the controls for PSVR games won't map to PSVR2 hardware.

If you have a PSVR, you probably have the old controllers too.

Some games presented the Dual Shock 4 controller visually tracked in game, even if they managed to do a compatibility layer those games still relied on tracking the DS4 controller light via the camera.

But at least some devs have confirmed their psvr games will be patched to support the new version, like No Man’s Sky.

Unfortunately not everyone is like the folks who work on No Man's Sky. They have released a boatload of fixes, new content, engine updates, VR support, you name it, they keep delivering.

Their support of that game has been very impressive over the years. Launch was rocky, sure, but they recovered and kept pushing ahead.

Seems trivial then to simulate that.. still seems like a false narrative on Sony's part
