First day impressions are always so skewed. I'd be more interested in seeing 6 month impressions, for example.

Nah, it's not for you. Move on.

I can only give you 3.5 month impressions so far, after about 30 games and 250+ hours spend on PSVR

It's frigging amazing. I don't even like Resident Evil all that much, and I already started a second playthrough on Madhouse difficulty. I don't even like playing on high difficulty, I usually just play on easy. I'm going to give it a try in VR. (First big fight was already quite a challenge)

Many sections had my jaw dropping to the floor again. I swear I could smell the candles and the damp caves I was exploring, or the wet air blowing in through the broken windows. Everytime I turn it on it seems a painful long wait until it switches to VR and every time it feels so good to be back in the virtual world. The freedom to look around, inspect things, look through bars and out windows, the much better sense of scale, improved awareness of surroundings, being able to quickly check all around you, superior aiming, and especially the amazing immersion level doesn't get old at all.

For comparison I tried Nvidia 3D shutter glasses in the late 90's. I played Descent 2 on a CRT projector. It was cool, definitely easier to dodge projectiles and the wall (I projected on) in my room vanished with the world both extending before it and behind it. However that was the only full game I completed on it. I tried a few more, yet the effect wasn't that impressive after a while without headtracking, plus the fov was still the same and limited to the 72" image portal in front of me. In less than a month I hardly bothered with it anymore. It hardly added anything to the experience, all the same restrictions applied. VR is completely different, a real game changer.

I've been reading through absolutely stellar impressions of RE7 on VR. Definitely looks interesting, I've never been into horror games or RE but this medium brings a new sense of immersion to the mix that I just might not be able to pass up (:

Absolutelly. 



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

A lot of people dismiss VR without having experienced it.

I had my first VR experience yesterday when a friend of mine came over with his PSVR set and had me and my son try it. I knew I was going to like it, based on feedback from my brother who tried the Vive at one of his friend's, but I didn't expect it to leave such an impact.

It simply blew my mind. And watching my son's reaction truly was priceless (especially when he tried The Deep, with that shark. We didn't show him the more mature stuff like RE7 or Batman.). In fact my friend told me that looking at someone's first VR experience never gets old. You really don't know what it is like until you try it for yourself. It really is a game changer, and the biggest step in gaming since the passage from 2D to 3D. In fact, I think it's a much bigger jump than 2D to 3D.

I didn't get to pre-order the Switch on time, so I have to wait until new supply gets allocated here. So after what I experienced yesterday, I am strongly considering getting the PSVR before the Switch.

And to think these are the very first games, imagine the possibilites as devs get more and more confortable with it.

The good old ELSA Revelator?

I bought it too (bundled with my Riva TNT2) and had fun with it that year... Need for Speed 4: High Stakes, Forsaken, Unreal, Descent 3, Drakan, Free Space 2, Rayman 2, NfS: Porsche Unleashed. I was a bit disappointed when my next GPU didn't support it, but got over it.

In 2011 I got back into 3D gaming with a bundle of a 120Hz-monitor and the Nvidia 3D Vision... I still enjoy that combination today with compatible games. Many Telltale games, most LEGO games, Portal 1 & 2, Trine 1 - 3, Alice 2, Crysis 2 + 3, Borderlands 1 + 2, Fallout 3 + New Vegas, Skyrim, The Witcher 2, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, some Assassin's Creed games, Ori and the Blind Forest, Resident Evil: Revelations, Diablo 3, StarCraft 2, Unravel, (the new) King's Quest and the latest 3 Tomb Raider games (Underworld, Reboot and RoTT) were great experiences in stereoscopic 3D.

Can't wait to play Lego City Undercover with it.



Good. I also really enjoyed rush of blood. Batman more of a tech demo. Resident evil 7 is really tense to the point where I want to stop playing it. Honestly scares me.

An earlier wired version. I played Descent 2, Hexen and some other games on it. I only completed Descent 2 though. I never had the desire to go back to it and 3D movies are pretty meh to me too. Gaming in VR is in an entirely different ballpark.

All the reviewers and Twitch streamers that played RE7 in VR say it was an amazing experience.
So have fun!


Oh yeah, the game (RE7) is ready. But I am way too sick today, got the flu, a bad one. If I get better I will try it tonight. VR is too intense to do it while sick.

Yeah some games actually make me sick too. When you feeling better check out Here they Lie another great horror game.
