I’m an incredibly happy and excited person atm. I managed to get a PSVR Move bundle for 269,- Euros including tax, which someone had sent back to the big electronics store my brother is working at. Great deal.
I’ve spent the last 3 days with trying a lot of demos, purchasing quite a number of games and getting friends and family excited, who all, including me, are just blown away by it...and I don’t even own a Pro yet.
I’m also very happy to notice I don’t seem to get motion sick at all.
Right from the start I was able to play RE7, Robinson and RIGS with full movement options..waiting for the Skyrim download as we speak.
What I’ve purchased so far:
-RE7 (speechless..I don’t even love horror games usually but that’s just incredible. Can’t wait to get back to it)
-Skyrim VR (still downloading)
-GT Sport (Amazon with lots of potential. Please extend the options!)
-RIGS (awesome, thanks PS+)
-Rush of Blood (again thx PS+just awesome..my friends loved it, one guy even said it was the best game he ever played)
-Can’t wait for Starblood Arena next month, almost bought it lol!!
-Ultrawings (just bought)
-Superhot VR (not played yet)
-Batman Arkham (incredible experience..goosebumps over my body. Wish they’d make a full game with Batwing, Batmobile sequences)
-VR Worlds (came with the bundle, good stuff. Can’t believe that Deep Descent Demo got me like it did, even though I had watched it so many times on Youtube already)
-Eve Valkyrie (wow..a dream come true) Just imagine Star Citizen in VR in 5 years! I’ll probably give up on reality all together.
-Bound (only downloaded yet)
-Rec Room
-The Last Guardian VR demo (hello Trico!)
From the demos I tried I liked best:
-Moss (yes please, gimme that..incredible difference between what you see on the screen and how it feels watching that cutie run through the world in the headset)
-Battlezone (wanna buy)
Lots of stuff I didn’t try yet.
What I still want to buy:
Shooty Fruity
Star Trek Bridge Crew
Eagle Flight
Driveclub VR
Dirt Rallye VR (too expensive sadly)
Windlands
The Solus Project
All in all I’m really surprised by the PSVR headset. I had tried a Rift before and PSVR screen and comfort are clearly superior.
I don’t think I’ve felt this excited about a new piece of tech since the PS One. All this 4K talk suddenly seems forgettable. Outside of headsets of course. :)
The prospect of what is still to come once big publishers and developers will start to take it seriously...
I’m not too shy to admit it... there were and still are moments, where I shed a tear or two.. because I’m so in awe that Im able to witness this. I’ve been gaming since 35 years and it hast gotten a bit stale and boring lately. Not anymore =)

Don't buy driveclub VR, it is utter crud, the demo is a trick, most races you litterally can barely see 5 feet in front of the car and everything else becomes a blur after playing for a while on OG ps4, wait til you get a pro. Wait for a sale on Dirt and go for it, so glad I did. ;D Same as you bro, I'm astounded and in awe of what I'm seeing unfold in tech and this is the one that hits me in the gut the most, at 27 I've had all the big tech booms of from the mobile phone and onward just come at the right time and all the things I dreamed of as a kid and teen seem to be becoming a reality. I'm slightly anxious it's going to bomb though and fade out from lack of support or finance. Reallly hope it doesn't

I don’t think we need to fear that. I’ve just seen reports from GDC and almost everybody there’s was working on VR projects. It’s still very early and this Christmas alone many more VR headsets got sold to customers. The Skyrim PSVR bundle even outsold X1X for a few days on Amazon around Black Friday. The more affordable the headsets will become the bigger the hype will get. It’s a good thing the initial hype has died down a bit, because it takes time for everybody in the biz to understand how VR works best. Most rules have to be rewritten.
I’m mostly interested in the field of 3D sound myself...I am so blown away by the binaural, positional audio in those games and demos and as an audio engineer, I’m interested in working in that field. It’s just very hard to find a good company atm, since most firms don’t have a functioning business yet and everybody is still trying themselves out.
Thanks for the tip with DC VR. Was hesitating already because I remembered the complications and also feel a bit ripped off, since I already own DC and there’s no discount.
I will get Dirt Rallye as soon a soon I can...not paying the 69,99 they currently want for it here. Don’t own the original game on PS4, only PC.
Btw...Concerning PC...definitely gonna find out what it takes to make PSVR work on PC. Anyone got any experience with that?!
