| d21lewis said: I play everything (humble brag) https://youtu.be/nLSOaGoWxPE I've been gaming since the mid 80's and recently one thing kinda frustrated me: People who dismiss VR without ever trying it. I've been a PSVR owner since day one and, while I've enjoyed it, I couldn't 100% recommend it to everyone. The $400 price tag seemed too risky when most of the games seemed gimmicky and others could cause motion sickness. RE7 has completely changed all of that. A new era is upon us and, quite frankly, nothing else compares to it. The level of immersion, the ease of movement, it's next gen. I'd say it's right up there with the jump to 3D as far as gaming evolution goes. You don't have to believe me. You don't have to even like first person games, Resident Evil, or Obama. All I'm saying is TRY IT OUT. This is what "next gen" feels like and my mind is boggling at the possibilities that consoles are capable of producing RIGHT NOW. Purchase 100% justified. |
I fully agree. I also played almost every system since the mid '80s and own almost every system that plays video games since 5th gen.
I really enjoy any new system, but in a nutshell most games for the new systems get bigger and pretty, the rest stays the same.
VR allows totally new experiences with a much better immersion (if it is done right), and Resident Evil 7 is the real deal... (I'm playing it the second day now).
I really hope that official Oculus Rift and Vive support is on its way, so that more people can play the game this way, fuck exclusives.
I'm really happy about the image quality improvements on the PSVR (combined with a PS4 Pro). I played the "Beginning hour"-demo last summer on the TV screen and the graphics felt dated. Then I played it in August at the last GamesCom with PSVR+PS4 and was disappointed due to the low resolution, jaggies and aliasing.
The December patch of the "Beginning hour"-demo fixed these resolution problems (at least on my PS4 Pro) and I didn't expect further improvements so close to the release. But the lighting and details of the release version are much better than in the updated demo!
That said... PSVR and PC VR need more of these games (and soon) to be a success. I'm waiting for Farpoint, which I also played on GamesCom and which was my best VR-experience so far... but where are the new VR announcements? There is also a lot of VR-crap both on PS4 and on PC, which gives VR a bad name.
