Hurdyb1 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I was at work and a coworker learned I was a gamer and asked if I had tried VR? At that time not really outside of the $20 set I bought from Best Buy to put my phone in. I told him I was impressed and have wondered what a more expensive set would do. Then a conversation with my brother about buying a new toy every once and a while is not bad. So I looked at a lot of you tube videos about PS VR reviews and for the most part they were all positive. Then I looked in the PSVR library of the PS store which I never venture into. I did not realize how many games were available for it. So I made the decision to get a bundle that game with the move controllers cause I saw some games I wanted to try need them. So I took it and my expectations are low and GAAADAMN was immediately impressed with the menu of the demo disc alone. I tried Battlezone. Daaaaaaaaaamn! I was immediately sold on this. I could look up down and even behind me and I'm in a fucking tank in this world having to look everywhere to aim. Then I tried the Persistence. Took a little bit to get a hang of the controls but once I got it, it was like playing Dead Space in VR. Cool and scared the shit out of me. Too bad I got home from the store to late last night because I had to call it quits to go to bed for work but man, I'm home after work right now and cannot wait to play this. While I am excited now, I want to see how my excitement continues or will it pass like motion controls? For right now, I'm sold that if VR can become more affordable, This could be the New path for gaming. People were right, unless one tries it, you really cannot get what VR does thru video advertising or just game play clips. Any game suggestions? Can you watch movies with this? Any tips? Thanks.

eggydoo Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 You can watch regular movies and 3D movies with it. The only bad thing is it doesn't dual feed it to your tv, only psvr headset. Spoiler also 3D VR porn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cusideabelincoln Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Are you experiencing VR on the Pro or base PS4? I'm going to pick up the Astrobot bundle on Black Friday, but it doesn't come with the Move controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

best3444 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I was immediately blown away then I realized there really isn't full games to play. Just tech demos. I hear Astro Bot is geat, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slug Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 The PSVR version of Thumper is amazing. I've rarely felt simultaneously so relaxed and amp'd at the same time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, well I think I'll still get a base PS4 and test it out myself. My buddy has a Pro so I'll be able to do a real life comparison and judge for myself. I can always upgrade to a Pro next year or whenever they drop the price - or hell maybe the headset will work with a PS5 in 2020! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggydoo Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I have used my PSVR on my PS Poor and recently PS Pro. You can tell a huge difference from framerate which also helps minimize some of the dizziness some games cause. Images are also a lot crisper/sharper.

DarkStar189 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Make sure to try the Resident Evil 7 The Beginning Demo on the Playstation Store! Walking around that creepy ass house just looking around...it's so good. It can feel weird at first, you can set the controls so the left stick walks/runs just like all normal first person games. Some people get motion sick but I had no trouble and none of my friends did either. Like you can walk around a dilapidated house, bend over and look at maggots crawling on dirty dishes. It's insane lol. I've heard good things about Astro Bot and that new Tetris game. I'd like to try the Tetris game but I'm not willing to shell out that much for Tetris. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodimus Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Here is what I have I can recommend. Rez Infinite Wipeout Omega Collection - Free DLC that makes the whole game VR Battlefront - it has free DLC VR mission. worth it and very cheap. Super Hot Polybius Batman Arkham VR Ultra Super Stardust VR What I plan to get in VR Tetris Effect Moss AstroBot Resident Evil 7 Skyrim VR Doom VFR GT Sport Rick and Morty Accounting Plus ZOE 2 Second Runner - I heard vr not great but I still want the game. You can play VR videos on it. There are players. It is not the simplest but works Also Youtube has VR. On 11/16/2018 at 8:33 PM, Remarkableriots said: Is the Star Trek VR game out yet?

Thank goodness I don't get motion sickness from this but the games that actually made me feel motion sickness were the first two Assassin Creed games when he would do the leap into the hay.

vaxick Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I just ordered the $200 Astrobot bundle. I own the original model, but wanted the 4k friendly edition and not have to deal with any of the workaround fuckery. Looking on eBay, it looks like I should be able to make enough back to justify the upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I just pulled the trigger on PSVR. You know, I need to temper expectations for Astro Bot because I keep reading stuff like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
