I've not been inclined so much to buy any more of the launch titles. The only thing I wanted to see more of was the shark one on the vr worlds, but not for £30.
I've high hopes on Robinson - released next week. It just got a new trailer that doesn't show much considering what footage is already out.

Yes, would love to see the shark attack, but not paying the price of VR Worlds for what is essentially a couple of demos. Pretty sure you'll be able to pick it up cheap soon or it will come to PS+ eventually.

Robinson looks nice, I doubt the graphics will look quite so good in the headset as the gameplay I've just found. Maybe on a Pro?



And some more reading on the subject:

Despite the controller the guy holds in the video which looks like a move controller, apparently the game will not support the move at launch.

It is enhanced for the Pro, has a premium price (£50 on Amazon) and is expected to be 3 to 5 hours long...

Wha??! While I'm all for shorter games (I'm begrudgingly started Dark Souls III this week and am feeling a pang of regret), 4 hours for £50 is not cool. Especially as it's only $40 for amazon.com. I reckon I'll wait it out and get Tomb Raider instead.

.. it just made me smile :mrgreen: ... "more than me ?" I don't think so yet .. heck knows how much time I spent in .. one year ? ... :mrgreen:

[edit] - SORRY, MY BAD, I read it as "too much TIME on VR already| .

I can understand, VR is expensive and you certainly spent ( in SW at least ) surely more then me.

Sadly not enough time in VR! I doubt few can beat your time in other worlds...

Just went to cancel my Pro and Amazon seem to want to charge me £332 instead of £350. That's made me pause on cancelling it, but still should!

As the new macbook is off my list, I'm tempted to do the GAME trade-in on the ps4. 175 for your old ps4 plus you gotta give up 5 games. I'm not sure I have 5 I want to get rid of but a dig through a bargain bin will make that easier.

I've had to restrain myself from spending so far I have only bought windlands and sportsbar (I already had hyper void which was a bonus).

Next games on my radar are holoball and moto racer 4

According to reddit the game volume which is vr compatible is on sale to ps plus members for £3.54 in the uk it's got to be worth a go at that price!

I wasn't planning to get Volume, but at that price I might give it a go too!

Like the look of that. I'm in. (Non sale price £14.99)

Cool, looks like it includes a Vita (and PS3) version too. Might be more a Vita game long term.

Oddly that and Hyper Void aren't in the VR list, but things like VEV that added support is.

Plugged the PSVR into my linux pc and can enable VR mode over usb.

Display out from a raspberry pi works too. Didn't test usb control from the pi but I'm sure that'll work too.

Couldn't get cinematic mode working, but VR is the important thing anyway.

List of games getting a Pro patch day one and it includes a few VR games. Very curious to see what difference it makes.
