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 =)

I felt, and still feel the same way. Games have been my passion since I was 4 years old. 26 years later, and I have enjoyed going from Atari, to NES, to SNES, to PS1&N64&GBC, to PS2&XB&PSP, to PS3&360&Vita, and now PS4&Switch. Watching games evolve has been an absolute joy. With VR, I feel like everything is reset, and my mind is racing with excitement, and ideas about what kind of expereinces are possible now.

 It is great to see others discovering and enjoying this new medium. Looking forward to watching it grow over the next 20+ years.

Doom went and did it, what were they thinking with that nonsense control scheme. I was teleporting around shooting my way through enemies when I started getting sweaty and I thought I'd hit my wall in real life and for the life of me I couldn't stop pushing against the wall, I pull of my headset and it turns out I'm on the damn floor. I musta passed out, hit the ground and woke up thinking I had hit the wall. Really glad my headset didn't take any damage but man I feel like shit now, not sick or anything juts really foolish. What in the world possessed them to think movement strafing left and right would be a better idea than free movement? Hasn't Data center pretty much set the standerd for movement and controls in first person. Stupid developers.

Damn it, Is this all we get https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM7MDh4NQug or else buy an Aim? Use our toes or tape our ps4 controller too our moves. Pity. Thank god the sale was on this nonsense. smdh.

Unless they patched it, it's rubbish as well with AIM. They added inertia to the gun so when you strafe it's lagging in the opposite direction which completely throws you off since you are holding the thing. It constantly corrects too so it just becomes a juddering mess which is impossible to aim with, no circle strafing. Plus your off hand sticks out and clips through the gun you control with aim while strafing. The gun clips through you too all the time, very ugly holding a hollow gun.

I had to switch to DS4 to get through the waves. However with the DS4 I had to aim my head down while looking up out of my eyes because the stupid targeting is 15 degrees too high by default. Can't change it. Plus now you have two ugly guns sticking out from your shoulders. It's like RE7, Farpoint and AZ Sunshine never existed.

But damn, you hit the floor while playing! Better sit down next time :)

It seems it's not patched yet

Plenty complaints about all control schemes

Nice to see this brought up. I couldn't believe how bad the gameplay in Doom VFR is. It blows me away that this was actually a made for VR expereince, when I have played titles that patched in VR that have done a better job. 

Counldn't agree more about them totally ignoring Farpoint, Arizona Sunshine, and RE7. This is the first VR titles that I have set aside, because the gameplay just killed all of my desire. That is extreamly sad, because so far in VR, it has been the lack of content or the level of quality that have been a negative, while the gameplay is so good I will accept these other short comings. Pretty wild that an established franchise like Doom would be the first to mess it up this bad.
