Any idea what it should cost? It's £14.99 on steam.

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

According to this thread it will be £14.99 I was expecting it to be £20 so I'd be happy with that.

I bought Windlands (at the correct price). Basically you're like Spiderman, and have to figure out how to navigate through the levels, and collect things along the way. The graphics are quite simplistic, but consequently the game has the benefit of having a sharp image in VR.

I have to say it's intense. I remember back in Crackdown on the Xbox 360 jumping off something high and trying to land on something specific, and it was quite exhilarating. Windlands is like that all the time, except magnified because now it's in first person and VR.

The game has warnings before you start, but also has lots of options depending on your VR comfort level. I haven't played much yet, but I've spent a lot of the time going "oh shit, I'm going to die, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit..." followed by either "phew, made it" or plummeting down yet again. :lol:

So £18.99 for Windlands then.

Way overbought, but can't see me not getting it at the weekend. Always want to be spiderman....

I haven't had any motion sickness from PSVR yet, but just looking at that Windlands footage has me worried. Looks like great fun though so I might be tempted ;)

Got Windlands last night. After 20 minutes I was feeling nauseas as fuck. Really pretty, interesting game but not for the delicate.

Just to say, I haven't felt motion sickness in any other game on the VR so far.

Got it! Amazing! Is there any way to resale PS4 downloads between user accounts? Dunno if i will keep the PSVR in the long run, since it currently isn't much of a dev solution, but it would be nice to be able to play some titles and reclaim some funds after selling the licenses on.

Any word of aftermarket optics for the rift?

MS announced VR headset partners today.

I think I'm getting my VR legs, so to speak. Driveclub made me feel sick when I first played it, but I've been playing it a bit at a time, gradually getting my brain used to it. Now I can do several races in a row and feel fine. The blurry visuals in that game don't help at all though.

Oddly enough I feel fine in Windlands, as long as I use stepped turning. My brain is OK now with free movement forwards and backwards, and strafing too. I just can't handle FPS-style free turning. I gave free turning a quick go in Windlands, but after a few seconds decided 'nope' and went back to stepped turning, which feels just fine, for reasons unknown to me.

That makes me feel like your reversing up out of the tunnel with things coming up at you!
Is it supposed to be like that?

I got that a while ago when it was on sale and wasn't too impressed so had uninstalled it. This sounded like the kick it may need but I just installed the VR add-on and nothing happens. grrr

Is there an option in the settings? VEV by default wasn't in VR mode.

How much is the game?

It's dirt cheap even without the discount. £6.19
All games with both versions boot in normal vision but yes, there's usually a VR select, but there's next to no options in this game anyway. I'll press some random things and see
