Friends, gamers, VR players lend me your.. opinions on Playstation VR.

There are so many games now you can play however you want. I prefer to sit down and use a ds4. I'm dealing with a back injury atm so standing and fast movements are kinda out for now. $199 is a steal for what it delivers. You are basically buying another console to play on, it just happens to plug into a ps4 to work :)

I'm currently playing Tetris Effect and while that has a VR mode, I must admit proper sound and HDR add more to that game. It's very cool in VR however you quickly notice that a lot of effects are simple 2D sprites, which you don't notice on tv. The end sequence is definitely euphoric in VR though.

I have the breakout box on top of the ps4 with the cables neatly looped and tied to keep it all together. I move the ps4 around with all the stuff on top between my primary and secondary tv so I'm switching hdmi cables all the time anyway. You do need two power cables as the breakout box has one as well unfortunately. Setup is not much of a hassle anymore and it's quite flexible for camera setup as long as you play sitting. For room scale play you do need to pay more attention to camera placement yet most of the time I just have it sitting on a cabinet at waist height, off center, pointing slightly up and it works fine.

Start with something easy on your senses. Allumette is a great free example where you are just inside the world (short movie). Moss is an excellent game without movement to get used to the head tracking and looking around. (It's like Trine going from screen to screen). Wayward sky has some movement, just like Astrobot which is currently one of the best games for psvr. Superhot is another 'static' title which is best played standing so you can move around and duck behind cover. Statik you play seating all the way through, excellent puzzle game,

When you feel comfortable in VR with your own movements, you should be ready to take on RE7 and other slower moving games. RE7 is great since it uses the ds4, starting with analog movement is a lot more comfortable than the on/off movement of the move controllers. Dirt Rally is great for racing, not too fast and a complete game. Wipeout has a lot of comfort options, yet you are going upside down anyway!

Too many great games to list, step into the magic!
