Forums - Sony - Critics Are Pretty ‘Meh’ About Playstation VR’s Launch Games - Up At Noon Live!

So far Rez Infinite is my absolute favorite, vr version is my first 10/10 game this gen. It works perfect in VR, as long as Move cooperates. For some reason the pointer started jumping all over the place after a few hours break with no option to recalibrate. Restart game after ambient light levels change...

Wayward sky is simply magical in VR, move works very well with this title although not perfect. Manipulating things with your hands and using the laser pointer work well enough never to become a problem.

Driveclub VR, lot of downgrades and the low res screen really stands out after playing it for so long. It also has a problem where the forward direction slightly drifts. You can reset the spot you sit in to perfectly match your couch, yet after an hour or so it had developed a 10 degree rotational drift so I had to sit slightly turned on my couch to face forward. Fail, no option to reset. It's still awesome to play, sitting inside the car feels just right.

These 3 have taken up most of my time since Thursday plus the demo disc. Battlezone looks fun and works well, bit expensive though. I've watched my son play Rigs, he likes it. Where they lie, very low res but has potential, Outlast 2 in VR would be awesome.

Anyway what is clear is that games have to build from the gound up with VR in mind. Rez is the exception, seems to have always been intended for VR, simply brilliant. DriveClub really shows all the problems in the conversion, 2D elements can't hide in VR plus so much detail cutting makes it an ugly game.

I had my 10 minute drink break, back to Wayward sky, then more Rez :)

All I heard so far from critics about PSVR was pretty positive so I don't understand this thread. Not only were the comments positive but actually elevated it beyond even the PC VR headsets.

So I'm gonna assume that IGN thinks they're critics now?

Honestly, apart from some porn games, I don't think I have seen any VR game (apart from maybe eve) that looked very care worthy. VR's problem imo is that there is nothing to really sell the thing.

Its like, here's a bunch of tech demos... And thats all we got but we are going to charge you a lot more than they are worth for it!

Indeed. Everything I saw so far looks like a demo for VR... Well, to be honest, I think Resident Evil VII may be one of the first "big things" to hit it.

Driveclub  is a full fledged  game.

Rez infinite  too.

Eve valkryia  also.

I don't  think  we will ever see blockbuster tripple a games on vr

 

Btw has anyone  played tomb raider  on vr and noticed  how amazing  it looks?😱

IGN are haters, but i can't say any of this surprises me.

How are they haters? They just talk about the MC score of the launch games...



Yeah, it seems to be the consensus among critics, but like others have pointed out; it's probably due to the lack of compelling games. What I'll add to that though is, that PSVR seem to be the low budget alternative among the VR-experiences; it's also the most comfortable of them all, but the resolution is pretty bad. It's all pixilated and all.



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

It seems RIGS is one of the highlights from the launch games and surprisingly one of the games from Playroom VR called Robot rescue is being lauded by all who played it as one of the best if not the best experience on the VR so far It's kind of sad people are ignoring the Playroom VR though.

They are talking about reviews of PS4 VR games.

Those were among the positive things too.
