I would like to buy / try it using Best Buy as I'm a total Tech member thus get 60 days on my electronics to return then. Never ever even having a VP unit on my head I don't know just how well I will like it. I have searched a few times and havone ONLY seren this for sale on PSwebsite? Yep it’s weirdly only on their website! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 I haven't had a ton of time to play since I got it, but I did put some more time in today and did a better with the dizziness. When I first started I could feel it if I looked around too fast, but this time was better. I'm going to try and do a bunch of small sessions with it and try not to push in each one to keep building up my tolerance to it. Since I'm already doing better I suspect I can get to place where I don't have it at all (unless I maybe do really long ones). I've heard this approach of doing a bunch of short sessions and stopping before you feel anything major has worked for other people too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those things seem to help people from what i've read. I'm lucky, I rarely get it, the only time I can recall is the tales from the Galaxies Edge demo, and that game had a very weird movement system I didn't enjoy, and it was more dizzy than actual sick. Like, I couldn't orient my body, it was weird. I'm definitely going to give it another shot, but it was extremely strange. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar189 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I used to love playing vr with a fan lightly blowing on me. Definitely helped with that hot feeling that comes along with motion sickness. Also made some games feel more realistic. Like you can feel the breeze in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've managed to not get the warm feeling myself, but I've heard that helps others and I do agree that a fan for wind simulation is super appropriate for some of these games!

I get kinda nauseous sometimes in fast moving games when I'm tired I have found over the years. I am kinda worried about how I'd react to this VR stuff but I am very interested especially for games like GT7 as I have a Logitech wheel and love racing games. But I feel it still needs that ONE GAME like a Half Life Alex, etc. I'd buy one right now if it was sold at best buy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's a cool enough experience that I think it's worth trying to acclimate yourself. It's probably the biggest advance in gaming since 3d. It also has the same sense as early 3d games where they not only were cool, but you could tell this was still the very early stages and that it would get so much better with technology. Depending on how serious of a racing fan you are, GT7 VR might be the game for you, especially since you already have a wheel. It's the whole game and it's implemented really well. But in general I hear you. Right now, it seems like there are a lot of good solid games, but nothing that's rocked the whole industry in the way Alex did. Fingers crossed Valve releases it for PSVR2!

Keyser_Soze Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 People keep crossing their fingers for Alex to come to PS5 but what if Valve just made another version of the Index that rivaled PSVR2 instead? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, several factors annoy me about the launch but not buying it wasn’t helping me any and I wanna see robo dino’s irl. Next week the first must have for me is out, the spiritual successor to Rush of Blood, The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR, so it’s a little more exciting for me now! Also my Quest 2 no longer holds a charge nor charges while plugged in and I haven’t wanted to bother dealing with that so this should also just hold me over until Quest 3 in addition to the ps exclusive stuff. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 @SuperSpreader Is Klarna what you used for your 4080 purchase?

Not sure I just did standard shipping so it says 4 days, but they didn’t give me an eta yet, I’m hoping for this weekend, but we will see! I got the Horizon bundle and I think I’ll buy RE8 even though I beat it on pc, I want to see that. Also I’ll get GT and upgrade Tetris Effect and Rez which I own on psvr. We need Wipeout VR like asap though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PayPal asked on checkout if I wanted to split it. Same thing, I could do it all at once but it made more sense to chop it up for cash flow.

Brian Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 @stepee wow betrayed again Be cautious with payment plans. It is how people get tricked into living above their means and fall into debt.

I missed that one on Quest 2, almost bought it a couple times and then the thing stopped charging. I see it’s enhanced now, does it look like a ps4 game now or still obviously designed for Q2?

Every review I see on YouTube are all very positive and they all say it's worth the money. You lucky son of a bitch lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Anyone have hdr impressions coming off a previous gen headset? I’m kinda most excited to see that and the eye tracking in action. I would think hdr would add a lot to the immersion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
