Looking forward to it - the demo was really fun and made you feel like you were actually in the suit flying around as Iron Man.

If I owned PSVR I'd try this actually. But I don't, and still have no desire to.

Not bad for a VR game, and good duration, will look to buy it in the future.

Always up for a new quality VR game!

First Impressions

Just finished through Chapter 3. Like Blood & Truth, I think that this is a game held back by the tech in PSVR. It is not bad, but the load screens and the limited controls due to the Move Controllers take a lot away from what could be.

The problem with the load screens is, they are long, and they are often. It greatly interupts the flow of the game, and the action. Just as you get amped up, bam, another loading screen, taking the engament and excitement back down. This game will benefit greatly from a PS5 Edition that eleminates the load screens, and allows for seemless transitions.

With the controls, we have the same issue that plagues many titles with the Move controllers. The lack of analog sticks, breaks the immersion. In Iron Man gameplay, you are limited to imprecise buttons inputs to turn. As Tony, you have to teleport and blink turn around locations. So far the gameplay as Iron Man is fun, with lots of different weapons and attacks to choose from, and some neat little set piece actions to perform, but the limitations of the Move stop it from being a natural or great feeling experience.

So far I am interested in the story, I am taking a short break, and then I will jump back in.

I will try to come back with more impressions as I find anything new to add. I'll give my final thoughts once I finish.

I really love PSVR and VR in general, but I think Sony has done a less than stellar job displaying the medium with the current tech. Stuff like Killzone and Resistance would have been perfect for what we have. The ability to play games like God of War or Horizon Zero Dawn in 3rd Person with the DS4 would have done wonders to showing the scale of the worlds. Hopefully, we see much better choices made with PS5 and PSVR2.

Thanks for the first impression it help us on deciding on jumping or not to buy the game.

Quick Update:

I have now played through Chapter 8. I did find the setting to allow smooth turing which has improved things a bit. It is still not an ideal set up though, as I can not find an ergonomic feeling way to hold down the thrusters and turn without the controller getting all wonkely positioned in my hand.

That said, the game is turning out to be pretty good. The missions have continued to deliver unique new enemies and challanges with each new level so far. I have also encountered one boss fight which had me putting together all the skills I have learn thus far.

My feelings toward the game are becoming more and more positive as I play. Still not calling it a VR masterpiece, but definitly heading in the direction of being earning the recomendation status.

I don't think anything can be done about the load times on PS4. I am playing from an internal SSD, and the loads are still excessive. Only thing we can hope for is a PS5 compatibility patch.

VR could get very big in the future, I think.

Iron Man PSVR is Number 2 in the UK-Charts, currently. Number 1 is The Last of Us 2, again (the third week).
