Re: Playstation VR
I finally bought my first vr game after getting bored of the demo stuff. I went for sportsbar vr seems really immersive so far although the controls will take a bit of getting used to as I keep hitting low power shots by accident. Darts is rock hard so far I was struggling to hit the board lol.

Going to introduce the kids to it this weekend. Could see that being expensive on the downloads...Chirpychicken wrote:I finally bought my first vr game after getting bored of the demo stuff.

Re: Playstation VR
I didn't return Driveclub yet, as I thought I'd try to desensitise myself to the motion sickness in the demo. I don't suffer from it all that badly, I think. In fact, so far, it's looking like *all* VR gives me mild nausea, almost as soon as I put the headset on, but it doesn't get significantly worse. I'm being careful not to push it too far, but I am finding that the headset gets a bit hot and uncomfortable before I vom out anyway.
What I have noticed is that I am now able to readjust to normality much quicker - almost immediately in fact - whereas, for the first couple of days, I was feeling slightly weird for a couple of hours after playing.
I bought Bound - seems nice, although the camera angle is confusing to control.
Rush of Blood full version is pretty intense - definitely recommend the Move controllers for that.
Still not sure whether I should install or return SS Ultra VR...

I've got Rush of Blood and Driveclub still sealed and undecided.phattslagg wrote: Still not sure whether I should install or return SS Ultra VR...
Played DC again and got on better apart from when I crashed. May keep it and hope the pro takes it up a notch.
Liked the Rush of Blood demo, but not sure I really want a game full of gore/jump scares. Perhaps I'm getting old! Not keen to try the Kitchen demo after the reports. Maybe see how my 8 year old copes first...
Just bought Batman despite know it's expensive for the small amount of gameplay. It does sound cool.
Try cdkeys.com for downloads as they seem to be a few quid cheaper than the PS store for the ones they have.

Re: Playstation VR
Came across this post regarding which VR titles are apparently getting Pro support:
https://www.reddit.com/r/PSVR/comments/ ... confirmed/
I'm not getting a Pro anytime soon, but I'd like to read impressions after the Pro is out about how much VR games actually benefit after the patches.

Re: Playstation VR
I'm in a similar boat. No rush to get a Pro for traditional gaming, but will see how VR benefits. Although, as of right now, there are very few VR games where I wish they had a bit of a power boost.chub wrote:Came across this post regarding which VR titles are apparently getting Pro support:

I'm finding the smaller games in the PSVR launch to be hugely enjoyable. Before trying PSVR my dream was something epic like Skyrim VR, but now I'd much rather have something more focused like Dungeon Master/Legend of Grimrock. And I now want games in genres I'm not normally interested in like 3D platformer and light-gun.

Re: Playstation VR
I'm finally getting used to the controls in pool for sportsbarvr I have beaten easy mode on 9 ball and 8 ball just killer and 3 ball to go before moving the difficulty up.
Its well worth the money and I've not properly been online multilayer or messed much with darts, skee ball and air hockey yet.

Re: Playstation VR
Although Windlands is released today the devs have said the European pricing is incorrect (showing as £32.50 in the uk). They are contacting Sony to get it corrected so don't buy it until the price changes!
Re: Playstation VR
Ordered one for work, should be here today

Re: Playstation VR
Let the kids loose in a controlled way over the weekend. Each playing a demo or level or two then swapping over.
Both absolutely loved it and it was a joy to see their reactions. Neither suffered any side effects or nausea. I was initially very cautious with my son who is 9 in two weeks, but when all went well let him try Battlezone at the end of the session with no issues and his demo game was much longer than mine as he sucked (and you seem to be invulnerable).
Took a while to get the position right for my son, maybe his head is a bit small, but once he found the position he didn't seem to find it hard to get it back on future tries.
We 'played':
All the playroom stuff (the multiplayer bits are quite pointless, but the platformer is cool)
Ocean dive demo
Tumble VR
Battlezone demo
Headmaster demo
Job Simulator demo
Wayward Skys demo
Pixel Gear
VEV (But only a quick go as no idea what was going on)
My 13 year old daughter wanted to try some scary stuff, but that was a no go, so going to have to be careful with letting her loose on it when I'm not around (Headset is currently hidden, but she is desperate to show all her friends).

Re: Playstation VR
Purchased Pixel Gear as it was £7.19 and the review or two I could found seemed favourable. It's a pretty decent lightgun/shooting gallery game (I think it needs 1 move controller, didn't notice if there was a dual shock option). Not going to blow you away, but it's cheap, fun and doesn't end in two minutes like all the demos!
VEV has been updated for VR, it got pretty low scores non VR with comments like this should be made for VR and the developers patched it pretty much day one. My daughter had a quick go, but didn't know what to do and I had no time to try. It was £3.99 so bought on impulse.
Had a quick dip into Eve and found I'm not very good at killing things (although I didn't get killed!), I do think it's beautiful and will be fun as I get better. If there are resolution issues you really don't notice during play. It looks stunning.
Haven't tried Batman yet as it's not kid friendly and ran out of gaming time.

Re: Playstation VR
I've let the kids and a few of their friends have a go on the DK2 - on some of the demos, TxK and Minecraft. I'm not even slightly worried about it in ten minute doses.

Knew nothing about this, looks good. Does look like one that could make you sick though?
