Yeah, Farpoint is my most wanted VR game since I played it at GamesCom.

VirZoom got a patch, the demo runs now. Ugh, it's worse than Wii shovel ware. If you're going to sell a $400 stationary bike to use while wearing a VR headset, at least hire someone who has made games before. Just watch tv instead while peddling.

Surprisingly it's one of the most in depth reviewed VR games https://uploadvr.com/virzoom-review/ go figure. Even at the simple task of simulating slopes and gears it seems to fail as peddling is not mapped 1:1 nor can the game change the resistance of the bike.

This is not the next Wii fit.

After the initial phase, I've gotten to where I don't want anybody else using my PSVR but me. They don't take care of it like I do and if something breaks, nobody will take responsibility.

..... My precious 

dude i got my eyes peeled on people when they're playing my psvr i'm like be fucking gentle it was 600 dollars 

I've found out the hard way, it's better not to clean the lenses. Even the supplied cloth will scratch the lenses. Sony recommends against using any sort of liquid, dry rubing durt over lenses is not a good idea either. Carefully blow any dust off instead and prevent any contact with the lenses. Just leave any smudges on the top (from eyebrows) alone, they don't interfere with what you see. It will spread out over the lens when you try to clean them.

Mine have quite a few (small) scratches already. Not visible while playing yet I know they're there. One nasty one on the left side I don't know what from, could be glasses hitting the lens. That one is visible if you know where to look for it :/ Handing the thing around in wild enthusiasm the first weeks probably wasn't the best idea...

Lesseon learned for version 2. Lenses are not comparable to those of glasses you wear, way more prone to damage.

Really? I haven't had any trouble keeping my lenses clean...Now, I also am very careful not to let anything get on them in the first place, so I've only had to clean them a couple of times. But I don't find the lenses to be any more fragile than the ones on glasses.

Also, I played Holoball this morning and it's awesome! It's also on sale for $10.49 I think. I highly recommend it.

Nice, I already bought Holoball today, still need to download it to the pro.

Maybe a grain of dirt got on the cloth or was at the edge of the lens. It's a couple of small horizontal hairline scratches, visible when you hold it sideways with the light coming out from psvr. I only noticed them after I found the bigger vertical scratch on the other side from my glasses I presume. Since then I've been rather paranoid about cleaning them...

Holoball is indeed awesome. Barely fits in my gaming room though. Camera on one wall with me standing against the couch to serve. Fun, yet I suck at it. Can't get through medium. I swear the ball goes through the racket!

I also tried Tombraider VR. You have to play the campaign first for an hour to unlock it. It looks pretty, yet I had forgotten how boring normal games can be. Cutscene, press forward, cutscene, cutscene, press forward, cutscene, jump, cutscene, follow the linear climbing path, cutscene. Luckily it only takes an hour of following the linear corridors to get the Blood ties has unlocked message. (And the game finally seems to open up as well, although with faux rpg elements putting the brakes on)

Blood ties looks pretty good in VR. Excellent black level for a change, very good picture quality.

And luckily you can disable all the baby sitting, switch to free movement mode and turn movement and rotation speed to maximum (which is the normal speed for most games) Best played standing, better immersion and you can look around more freely.

However, gameplay? There is a puzzle trail to follow yet most of what you do is pick up bits of story, text with narration, during which you can't move and anything but the text window is heavily blurred. Lets look around while I listen to the blah blah, NOT. It's a static 360 view too, disorienting.

Traversing the cellars gives me high hopes for Resident Evil, it feels great to explore that way. Croft manor is fun to revisit, yet I instantly miss the gymnastics of tombraider 2's version of it. It might have worked better in 3rd person. At least Lara would actually be there. Now you're nothing but a floating point in space.

My score for Tombraider vr gameplay

I really enjoyed the slow-paced exploration of Croft Manor (and the past of Lara and her parents) in Blood Ties. Didn't play it in VR, only in stereoscopic 3D on my PC. I had to choose between Lara in 2D in the main game + a short PSVR DLC or the full game in stereoscopic 3D. And I need my Laras in 3D. ;)

I rented Robinson's Journey + Eagle Flight today for a week at verleihshop.de... they should arrive tomorrow or Thursday. That's a big advantage of PSVR: if there is a retail version, you can rent these short experiences instead of buying them.

so is the tomb raider vr game not the actually proper game just a segment or something?
