Jeez.
They need to get on that, if they even can?
Even included a gif in their review to demonstrate.

Kotaku did.

It will be super interesting to see what the PC community can do to improve the tracking with higher quality cameras. Or if it's just a flaw in the headset's design.

So when does VR start to get it's "VR IS SAVED WHEN..." NeoGAF chalkboard(tm)?
Ah right, maybe they should try the old camera later.

"I'd hate for it to work flawlessly today" Jeff???
I'm doing that on Youtube right now, it works well.

How many examples do we have of broken games releasing with gushing reviews that don't mention any of the biggest issues?
And when it comes to Sony or Microsoft first party it's usually worse.

Kinect all over again.

I guess mobile VR will do until something more convinient and better comes along.

Because it wouldn't be reflective of how it was for him at the office, at home and Brad at home.

On YouTube, you just hover over the timeline and can see the time you'll swap back.

It's happened in 3 different environments for them apparently.
The stream is pretty damning. If this is widespread this thing is fucked.
In game tracking might not be perfect though
It's exactly the same in the game...

God damn I love me some Rez.

If the tracking is bad in menus, it's not going to magically work in a game.
Yup I think this is it

Something is clearly wrong here. Yes, other reviewers have mentioned some OCCASIONAL tracking issues, but nothing like this.

They turned the lights off and it got worse
It was worse without the lights.

This is embarrassing for Sony.
I mean, they are saying that they have tried multiple different setups at home as well with the same problems present. (I think Brad mentioned 3 feet distance)
Dunno, something seems to be busted.

Goddamn Rez looks good.
Glad that the tracking issues are mitigated during actual gameplay

Already thinking of canceling my pre-order. The headset itself seems terrific, but the tracking stuff with the camera + controllers seems like a massive, massive problem that you'd think would be fixed before release. Really disappointed to see the hardware has such significant issues.
I'm hoping they woudl have had a quick test prior to the stream. if its fucked there is basically no point demoing the games as they'll all be tainted.
Have they shown their setup? Do they have lots of lights or possible interference around them? (can't watch as I'm at work)
Can't believe sony would have gone to all the trouble of 90-120Hz refresh and reprojection etc and then screw up the basic headset tracking. The PS4 camera should be decent enough in terms of refresh rate - isn't it pretty much designed with VR in mind?

Perhaps less consciously noticeable, but any tracking issues are going to cause nausea really quickly to someone less resistant than Jeff.
The tracking in a game is going to be more important than in a selection menu and there will be more work into it

So you think a more complex environment would have an easier time on the tracking? Interesting.
This is not $60 game, we are talking about $400 hardware here. I tried PSVR two times in controlled environment so I guess I will see how it is in about a week.
Barfing is not nice. And they said it happened also in the games at home.

Rez Infinite looks fantastic, despite the issues.

Read some other reviews. There are tracking issues in general, but none of the other reviewers have mentioned anything like this.
What worries me is that Jeff's in a barren room with a green screen behind him. I wonder how this would deal with my tiny gaming area. Maybe being more confined / close to the sensors help it and lessen the shake?
