VR is a great immersive experience.
Even watching 3D movies on the cinema mode on PSVR is a much better experience than watching on TV.

Try Ace Combat 7, Astrobot and RE7 on VR they are all great.

Pavlov VR? Is it available on Steam? I'd buy my own HTC Vive, but it is quite expensive. 

Yes. It's on Steam. One of the most played VR multiplayer games. Lot's of community support and custom maps through steam workshop. Also additional game modes through that. It's the game that comes CS:GO the closest if that would be in VR. They also ported most CS:GO maps to that game. Looks really stunning to walk through Dust2 and see everything in real size.

Started my VR adventure with PSVR, and have since bought into VR on Windows as well. Considering getting a Valve Index next year to upgrade for Half Life Alyx, and will be there day one for PSVR 2 when/if it happens.

VR is easily the best thing that has happened to games this generation. As great as stuff like Super Mario Odyssey, God of War, or Sunset Overdrive have been, they are still just natural steps forward along the same path we have been walking since PS1/N64. VR is delivering the first real new experiences since the mid 90's when those machines introduced us to 3D games.

Whether it is introducing new ways to play like Beat Saber, delivering scale and immersion to a classic like Skyrim, or fully realizing a simulation like Gran Turismo Sport, VR is taking gaming to new heights. It will only get better from here on out.



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.

KBG29 on PSN&XBL

Bought the PSVR a few years ago after its first big drop in price and during Black Friday deals. Played it quite a bit and would buy a lot of games for it when they were on sale. The bundle came with Skyrim and that was the first game I started, was blown away but did not continue with it beyond the first few hours. Resident Evil 7 was an incredible experience and the gold standard for me. Enjoyed a lot of the early games like Rush of Blood, Batman Arkam VR, and Thumper. Thumper is cray fun in VR. Forced my way through Here They Lie, not because I didn't enjoy it, I thought it was an awesome atmosphere but it made me sick so I had to play no more than an hour at a time with it. I love a good scary movie, and I couldn't get through Paranormal Activity, that game freaks me out its too scary. I should really give it another shot. I really haven't touched it much over the last year or so, if someone visiting my house like my niece wants to play it, it will get used. The technology isn't quite there, but I am looking forward to seeing what the P5 does for VR.  The shark demo is the best way to introduce people to VR, loved watching my nieces and sister play that in amazement, and my brother who thought it wouldn't be a big deal, knocks over the water on a table that really wasn't all that close to where he started, because the shark had scared him!

I've been using VR since Rift dev kit 2. Astrobot is the best VR game I've played.  PSVR does a great job with it. 

PSVR does not do a good job in theatre mode.  The screen door effect ruins the experience.  I've never watched a movie in the higher-end units.  But, I'm skeptical that even those are good enough for movies right now.  But, I agree that this is theoretically a good use of VR.  The tech just isn't there yet.

As I've mentioned other times on VGC, the coolest experience I've had in VR was watching a live boxing match on my Samsung Gear VR.  I felt like I was sitting in the front row.  That experience convinced me that VR will be a great way to experience sporting events.  However, due to resolution and screen door effect limitations, even high end VR only works for things that take place in a very small area right now.  Basketball will be good soon, I think.  But, we're a good ways from being able to follow a baseball game or golf in VR.  Those sports currently look terrible.  The time will come though that we'll all be sitting behind home plate, courtside, and on the 50 yard line.

I use VR for about 2 years now and I barely play any games without VR anymore. I use PSVR for all those great PS exclusives, a cheap Lenovo Explorer on my laptop and an Oculus Go for watching movies and stuff. I plan to get the Vive Index next year and maybe a new computer. My GTX 1070 isn't doing too hot in newer games.

But yeah, once you go VR, you'll never want to go back.

It is quite interesting. Astro bot is quite fun.
Thought I would get sick because I have a lot of motion sickness - but I did not.

There is an ocean demo where you are underwater now that was pretty freaky. Looking down and just seeing more water instead of a floor is kinda creepy.

Do not look down on VR

Had PSVR since launch and really enjoyed some games like Astro Bot, Tetris Effect and Wipeout. No Man's Sky is also good in VR, if you already like the concept of NMS. Unfortunately, I don't play in VR much due to the small added hassle of cleaning and wearing the headset, plus I have a gen 1 PSVR so it needs unplugging if I want to play an HDR game, so that adds a little extra complication.

I still think that VR will improve to the point where the extra hassle of wearing a headset is more than made up for by the awesome experience of VR. I'll probably be day 1 with PSVR2 if that ever happens.

Well I'm comparing watching 3D movies on TV with glasses (and we know the problems with it, bluriness, it needing a very fixed head position and smaller screen). On PSVR you get 300" equivalent at under 6' distance, can watch laid down or any position, image is quite clear, etc. But yes it need to improve.
