Well I have decided to get one. I had a $50 Gamestop gift card so I went for the $200 one. Downloaded the PS+ VR games, and some other free ones preparing for it.

I had PS move controllers from my PS move days, so I hope they still work. Although I'd probably prefer not to use them.

Anyone play creed? I enjoyed PS move boxing games a lot.

Creed is one of my favorite tiles so far. It is a workout though. I completed the story mode, but it was basically one fight a night at the end of my VR session. After finishing training and fighting, I was dripping in sweat, and foggng up the lens.

Much like many other genres I have experienced in VR, I can not see going back to a Gamepad and TV based Boxing game again. Grabbing the Move's, strapping on the head set, and entering the ring is what I always dreamed Games could be. 



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.

So... You set it up yet? Tried it out? Watched some porn? Joking, I know a respectable person like you wouldn't go in for that sort of thing but have you played any games yet?

Went the lazy route - shipping.  I think it gets here tomorrow?

Probably going to go something simple first. No move controller.

I suspect I will get motion sick. But I've read it is something you can possibly get used to.

Try it out a little, take a break. Try again later or the next day. Repeat,

Plus I downloaded a lot of free stuff and stuff from PS+ etc.

Yea, that seems to be the way many ppl grow their "VR legs". If you feel a hint of nausea just stop the play session and resume an hour later (or a day later if nausea persists). Ginger chewing gum/candy seem to prevent motion sickness to a degree btw.

A lot of ppl reported that "rest mode" might not play nice with VR tracking (I don't know, as I always turn the PS4 off), so you should begin your VR sessions from the off-state.

The amount of easy to stomach demos/free stuff which don't require a Move is quite a bit limited, but tumble VR, Headmaster, Super Hyper Cube, Astro Bot, Moss, Star Child, The Kitchen, Statik, Bound (fixed cam, the follow cam is definitely "intense"), Until Dawn:Rush of Blood (better with Moves) and the short movies/videos (Invasion, Crow, Allumette, Joshua Bell VR, etc) should all be fine. Playroom VR is aswell, but most of those mini-games require a 2nd local player.

TBH with PS5 around the corner I would wait and see what improvement are on offer there.

I was debating updating my PS4 to a PS4 Pro but now with the rumors kind of pointless

I don't expect PSVR2 to release the same year as PS5, so hopefully PS5 will be PSVR1 compatible, potentially with some automatic IQ enhancements, but to really ramp it up devs very likely need to release patches.

@PSVR 2 conversation. I've never cared for keeping a console sp intact as my two ps4's incase PSVR 2 never comes or isn't BC. If this happens I'll be buying another pro anx another headset right away. It has become my most treasured worldly possession and I'm known to give away my consoles once they've served their use to me, I even shrugged when my 360, ps3, 300 euro TV stand and seemingly at the time my ps4 was smashed to bits in a drunken row. I havn't treasured a possession so much since I was a child.

I wish RDR1 would get a PSVR port. It transformed Skyrim, imagine what it can do for read dead with either head tracking for aiming (RE7 style) or move or aim as choices. RDR with aim would be amazing and solve all the problems I have with the shooting mechanics. I never dual wield anyway. Plus being ab;e to point at what you want to interact with will solve a lot more issues.

Dishonored and dead space are also on the top of my list of what I want to play in VR. Yet we are getting Borderlands which I haven't played yet beyond the first few hours (it was free before in ps+). It was good but didn't have the time to continue with it before. I'm glad for that since now I'll have a full game I haven't played yet to play in VR. At least I hope it's the full game, I guess I should check on that before getting too excited :)

To be honest, I'd much rather R* make a new IP in VR. Love RDR and I seem to be one of the few on this site thst thinks it's a masterpiece and deserving of it's critical praise but I think it's much better off being flat, especailly with how ot is designed and where the most fun is. I've tried first person for a few hours, it's a subpar experience even if the impression is slightly improved but it ruins the game in my opinion. I'd have to deduct points... like a lot pf points from this is it was only forst person so I can't image VR making it any better. 

Happy for ya :D woth BL. It's a great game. I've bought Boarderlands 2 twice. Ouch but I'll probanly buy it again for VR. Fortunately, only put a dozen hours into both because I got sistracted so in the same boat as you basically. It's a for sure hit ig they get the implementation right as the base game is fantastic. 

True, the current implementation of first person handling is pretty bad and completely not suited to VR. It's still a lot cheaper to add a good first person view for VR than build a game from the ground up though. I'd be happy with LA Noire as well, plenty to explore there. GTA 5 would of course sell in VR. Borderlands first anyway :)

PSVR is really great, not that many games that are worth their price though imo. But from the titles I have played and liked, there's so much potential and can't wait to see what they bring to the table with better tech w/ ps5

I decided to upgrade. Tomorrow's black Friday deal is too good to pass up. CAD 250 for PSVR + camera + physical copy of Astrobot + download code for Moss + CAD 50 gift card. I was looking for a physical copy for Astrobot and a new camera as my son keeps taking it away to use as a microphone for Fortnite. So it's basically CAD 75 for a new headset and 4K pass through breakout box. (compared to the CAD 100 I payed for RDR2)

So, since we have a ps4 and a pro, what games can be played together :)

I steer far away from VR games,i would lose my sense of control over the game and go in stressmode.
Otherwise i find it a good addition for those that enjoy it but it could use a more extensive gamelibrary to make it worth the buy.

There are currently 342 titles listed in the psvr catalog (that includes apps and demos) The game library is pretty extensive for a 2 year old product.
You actually feel more in control of the game. I was just trying Neverout. It made perfect sense in VR. Then I tried the game on the tv and couldn't figure out up and down...

The real problem of VR is that every time I try to play my kids come in and want to play. My 7 year old is currently messing around in I expect you to die.
