GAME NEWS: PSVR "AWFUL" ON ORIGINAL PS4?

An industry insider has said some strong words about the original PS4's VR capabilities. Does this mean you need a PS4 Neo to handle VR?

I've no idea what to believe, but it's conceivable that Sony wants to push VR but PS4, in its current state, can't fully handle it - thus a mid-gen upgrade.

Well the press have been using a standard PS4 thus far so I wouldn't worry.

I think this "rumour" is just an extrapolation of the logic that VR will certainly run better and to the visual standard people expect from PS4 on Neo and whereas PS4 will see graphically cutbacks (As we've seen from live demos). VR intended to meet modern expectations is obviously in need of hardware far stronger than the PS4, just look at the oculus and its minimum specs...I think thats essentially what the quotes are referring to. Lets not forget that theres a minimum fps requirement forced on devs so unless the tech sony uses to up sample 60fps to120 works poorly I wouldn't pay any attention this.

That's going to make the PSVR an even harder sell.

People have been playing all the early game builds for a year now and no one is complaining. The problem is the high frame rates force the developers to tone down the graphics to PS3 levels. The Zombie Taxi Co. game looks like a mobile game but I'm fine with that knowing it's full stereoscopic 3D immersion. The Battlezone game looks like a last gen game to, but being there in 3D will make it awesome.

Current gen graphics on the OG PS4 is probably out of the question with PSVR, but that's fine.



   

Hey! They got SONY on my amiibo! Wait a minute. Two great gaming tastes that game great together!

That is one of the reason why the PSVR originally was planned to come with a co-processing unit, then as far as I know ditched it and made the Neo. So I guess if you want VR on the playstation you are going to need the new machine, which I suspected since most computers need to be beefed up if you want VR.

So 40 million suddenly may not be able to use this properly? Really shady...



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Wait and see E3 VR games from Sony Conference then you can see what PS4 can do. May be the guy who said is thinking only real time graphics like PS4 are games and others are not. VR is about immersion more than graphics.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

Oh my lord, i hope this is just false rumor...

Hopefully not! If this is true then I feel bad for all of us who have a regular ps4, actually with all these ps4 neo and xbscorpio rumors I am already starting to feel more and more dissapointed with sony and ms :'(

Luckily I am optimistic so maybe all will be fine and we all live happily ever after with many great consoles
