Forums - Sony Discussion - The "my" first VR experience

My very first experience with PSVR I think was Star Wars Battlefront X-WING VR missions. Then it was Batman. Then Farpoint. I've played a little bit of Resident Evil VIII as well. I've taught myself to stick with PSVR on the weekends and at night upstairs work on my PS3 backlog during weeknights. I've lost a lot of sleep over PSVR. Once I get the Pro it will go downstairs and the OG PS4 will come upstairs next to the PS3. I love the PSVR and PS4 and the 3. All great pieces of equipment for all my gaming needs. I seldom MMO on my Laptop. No room for Xbox or Nintendo in our families interest. We have a Wii but thabut that's as exciting to me as going to visit a grandma.

I need the aim controller
I need a directional move controller
Hoping they come out with some decent Move 2.0 devices.

1994 for me. It was dumb and gimmicky. Then have tried PSVR. Its dumb and gimmicky. VR hasn't changed outside of the tech.



a friend of me tried farpoint with the aim controller. He was completly blown away how far technology and gaming has come.

I do play some games on PC, but I invest way more of my time and money into console gaming.  So, I had no premeditated reason not to be blown over by PSVR upon first trying it months before that.  I just wasn't.  That's my personal opinion.  I only impulse bought the Rift after the price drop announcement this summer and confirming that the only upgrade my PC would require to run it was a graphics card.  I didn't say PSVR was boring, obviously I haven't played many of the games.  But, my first experience with it did not suck me in the way the Rift did right off the bat.  You asked for first impressions, so I gave mine.  Somehow I got construed as "dishonest" for relaying my personal opinion that differed from someone elses.

Reread your post.

It was like

"me: well PSVR is very underwhelming... ow Rift is fantastic... people say the difference is small but it is very very big"

"my friends: we like PSVR.... owwwwwwwwwwww Rift is so superior, I can't believe the difference".

If that doesn't sound you trying to prove Rift is better than PSVR when you yourself said most people doesn't find they that different (we do know Rift have better resolution and that a beffed up PC can make a better showing) doesn't fit your answers after.

I remember a friend that loves FPS, and is quite good... he was totally blow away by how hard and interesting was to play KZ3 on 3D with PSMove on a shotgun mount.

Not a fan of VR at all, but I gave it a shot anyway.

Tried the Vive for about 10 minutes and got motion sick. That's enough VR for me.

What games have you played? The first I played was DC and that looked rough, but still blew me away. Then my jaw hit the floor when playing Rez Infinite. Gaming nirvana had arrived :) There are unfortunately a lot of mediocre games too and a bunch of downright shovelware.

I would like to try OR and Vive as well, yet I already have a backlog on PSVR and don't have a capable PC anyway. The best games seems to get ported back and forth anyway so it doesn't really matter.



My favorite VR-experience is "Summer Lesson", i like it :) RE7 is good too. How is the Gran Turismo Sport VR-Mode?

Sony will release all major VR games on its PlayStation Youtube channel in the future. You can subscribe, if you like. New: Chernobyl VR Project – Release Trailer | PS VR

GT VR from what Svennoj said is very poorly implemented.

The graphics are better than DC... but it limits you to 1 vs 1 race on low difficult (that you can put to a lot of laps and turn it into a time trial basically). And also for him seemed to make the circuit smaller and lose sense of speed. I haven't tried it yet.
