Thanks for sharing, brother.

I am so divided on the VR issue. Without having the opportunity to try it myself I just can't decide if it's amazing or a fad. When you hear stories like the OP or what SvennoJ has explained, you get very excited. But then you ask yourself, if it's so amazing why is VR selling so bad and why aren't there massive amounts of gamers who share the same level of excitement?

It is amazing, but it is also very expensive. And there are few games. So, if money is short, then I guess you can wait till you have 10-15 must play games.

That, for me, at least, is enough to justify a purchase.

So far, I love it.

Just like people loved their Vitas, Wii Us, Move, Wiis etc..

I remember one people who was amazed with Kinect initially.

First day impressions are always so skewed. I'd be more interested in seeing 6 month impressions, for example.

Owned since October - 4 months I suppose here.  Love it, can't consume enough content.  I want more full fledged content but i love every experience Ive had thus far.  I've spent far more on VR games than standard ones over the past year.

So, my PSVR arrived, got 3 games: Batman VR, RE7 and Rush of Blood.

So far, I love it.

Batman is very good, looks gorgeous, I can´t play for more than 20 minutes cause I am very very sick, got the flu for 3 days now, but it is a very fun game, makes you really lose yourself in the world.

Rush of Blood: Changed my gaming life. Never saw anything like it. The rollercoaster parts gave me a rollercoaster feelling, never ever felt such a thing in a videogame. The fear and the excitement, it is really like being in the coolest ghost train ride ever made.

RE7: Installing. But the demo is unbelievable.

It is a whole new level, this changes everything.

Specially with Supermassive Games and Capcom, these people...They went too far, what a expeirence, it is, like Lewis said, like the jump from 2D to 3d, even more than that.

I am breatless. It is like being a kid again.

Amazing.

I almost feel bad for asking, but how much did that cost in Brazil? Glad you are enjoying it so much. :)

1100 dollars. And, believe me, it is a looooooooooooooooooooooot.

Vr is a really impressive experience.i have tried it once at Gamescon with Valkyria, and it was truly amazing.It something that everyone should try once.

Having said that, i dont think the tech is there yet.There are still some games that suffer from the diziness it can cause, its still too expensive, and I imagine PS4 is running at its limits to run the games at VR(which also runs at "worse" graphics).I am of the personal opinion that only when it launches with a console(as comes with the bundle) at a reasonable price it has a chance to take off.And when there are more games like RE 7 for it, of course.

VR on PS4 Pro is really spot on from my experience. I havn't messed with it on the OG PS4 since the first month. Standard PS4 does fine, but the image quality on Pro is just enough nicer that it makes me more comfortable.

That said, I think a PSVR2 with a 1440P HDR screen, and a PS4 Pro 2 with around 10 - 12TB, 16GB of RAM, and PSVR ports built in would definitly make things easier, and give the image quality people are used to from 1080p.

I don't think VR is ever going to be cheap. If you are expecting a console and VR for $400 or less I don't think it is going to happen, unless you are buying 5 year old tech. Cutting edge console + VR Headset + Tracking Equipment + Motion Controls is probably always going to hover around $1,000. Go any cheap than that, and you will be compromising somewhere, and you don't want to compromise on VR.

I dont agree in the slightless.As long as the VR device delivers what it is meant to deliver, it can be as cheap as it gets.That argument could also be implemented for consoles.If the big three really wanted, they could have gone for the cutting edge, and made their consoles cost $1000.But since the experience they wanted to deliver was possible with a weaker hardware, they went with the affordable option.The same will be the same for VR.As long as the technology used can deliver the experience they want, they can go as cheap as it is necessary.

Now, how long we are until we reach that point, no idea.Maybe it will still take 10 years, but we will reach that day.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

It needs experienced --  simply put.  I never considered owning a VR until it became "reasonably" priced at $400 with the PS4. (Not because I wouldnt invest in technology but because I just never understood how good it could be).  Once I experienced it,  it's become an essential peripheral to me moving forward and this is just VR 1.0.  

Price is a factor as well -- 400$ was the proper jumping point for me -- I didn't test it out before, I just jumped in blind.  The immersion is immediate and real.  Within a day of owning it, I had purchased 4 more DL games.  I'm at a point where I simply check the store on Tuesdays to see if any new VR games are added that I can purchase.  However -- 400$ is still an entire console to most people and until they experience it,  they won't know they want it.

Like the Wii -- some games are cheap, junky shovelware but still fun nonetheless but unlike the Wii -- the VR has staying power because it fits perfectly into mainstream experiences. (I'm 100% convinced of this after Resident Evil 7 - now).

Just to be clear, Oculus and a PC that can run it are about 5000 dollars in Brazil. So, it is expensive, but much cheaper than the alternatives.

Also, it is hard to find here in Brazil, so, people that have it in stock are trying to make the most of it...
