Forums - Sony Discussion - Skyrim VR is my Game of the Year

VR is a dumb gimmick that has been around longer than half the people on this forum have been alive. Skyrim is an awful game no matter what.

That's what we call "an opinion" and a hyperbolic one, at that. I'm not going to debate you. I didn't even want Skyrim until recently and I didn't even get it for the PSVR. You don't like it and that's cool.

I don't remember the last time I read a positive comment written by him here. About anything. He comes across as disliking pretty much everything.

Tried PSVR. Felt like the same crap as 20 years ago just better graphics. In fact felt like Wii games. 1989 is still quite a bit after I began playing games.

opinions are different man. The PSVR has 4,5/5 stars on amazon, so it looks like most people that bought one really love it.

i'll wait till ps5 comes out before i get in VR. Imagine fallout in VR!

fallout 4 vr releases next month for htc vive (and likely all other VR headsets like Oculus Rift and Windows Mixed Reality)

Dirt rally is really, really hard. Which is a problem because I refuse to play without manual shifting and all assists off. Still have the game but it's just collecting dust, not sure how much VR can change that without investing in a racing wheel setup as well.

 

Im not a huge racing guy but in my expierence driving in VR is much much easier. Its basically like driving a real car. You can see the distances and so much stuff so much better. 

If you like racing games and get a VR, i wouldnt be to surprised if you would also consider buying a wheel very soon though ;D

Why post a video ad? Post a gameplay video.

Watching 2D gameplay on a normal screen of a VR game doesnt really give you any idea about the game...

but just for you (not my gameplay though):

Personally me and my partner are playing Skyrim on the Switch and it's great. VR would be cool but it's such a long game I cannot imagine putting in all those hours with a VR headset on.



Around the Network

I like VR, I have PS VR, and have enjoyed it so far (had it since launch). It is too bulky and a pain to set up in my environment (I'm hoping to get it better arranged in my office to make it easier to play)... so it doesn't get used as much as I want it to.

I've enjoyed static games or games where you are seated more, not sure how I'll get on with Skyrim. Having played W-industries VR headset way back in the early 90's, tech is much better than then. I think it still has a long way to go but for some gaming experiences it cannot be beat.

Now onto Skyrim, I am in two minds about this game, it came out a while a go, and on one hand its a poor RPG, but on the other hand it has some very good addictive gameplay elements. So I can see why people enjoy it. Hopefully Bethesda improve their engine, because for me, they are falling behind in open world games compared to other people now, and their need to stick with the same engine isn't doing them any favours. Fallout 4 wasn't as good as Fallout 3 in terms of storytelling and just overall fun (the whole town building thing just didn't work).

it doesnt improve graphics at all. just your perception. and no 60fps is way more important than 4k or 3D

Part of VR is that it's at least 90fps. 60 is really too low for VR. Besides stereoscopy, Virtual Reality also sports a very high FoVThose are all very important things in gaming graphics. So yes, VR improves graphics better than 4K or 60fps (imho).

If you're up to wearing a VR headset of course (and splashing down the money for for it). Personally I think VR is a real game changer, and I dearly hope that it will become more mean stream.

Are you sure about that 90 fps part? I'm not sure a PS4 Pro with PSVR can do 90fps.

Job Simulator runs at 90fps and 1.4X Super Sampling on Pro according to their website. Thumper is doing 90fps on both models, as far as I know.

Many games are using 60fps native, with 120fps after re-projection. 

funkateer2 is right though. VR is a massive game changer. Honestly at $299.99 it is a steal. I have had the best expereinces this year on PSVR, and I bought a $10,000 4K HDR TV last year. 4K HDR doesn't hold a candle to the experiences on offer in VR. RE7 looks way better in PSVR, you take a hit in resolution, but having actual physical space and characters, takes things to a whole new level.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

I know this will sound corny AF, but when you play Skyrim in VR, do you "feel" there?

How deep is the immersion?

When you are in a town, do you actually feel there?

If you play standing with the moves...yes you do

 

I play often standing with a chair nearby and sit down when riding a horse and so on. If you do that, the immersion level is very, very high and you really feel like stand in the game.

 

 

Check out this video, it gives pretty good sense of immersion for a 2d video imo:
