Giant Bomb PSVR stream | It's always Summer in PlayStation VR Nation
- Thread starter Death Metalist
- Start date
That's the only time I've seen them come off as "jaded" if you wanna use that word, them saying how nobody wants to hear VR talk and shit on the bombcast. Like it isn't even out for most people yet!
But they have without a doubt a lot of hours logged in VR, so I definitely trust their views on PSVR. Hoping to see impressions improve, I want an excuse to buy one haha
Looks like a mess. Asking far too much from consumers, continuous calibration, stationary experience, height settings, odd inconsistencies, motion sickness. Kind of annoyed at people lying about issues about sickness, it's clearly there, ubplayable for people that are sensitive to it (but not seriously sensitive). Look like a broken niche experience that isn't accessible. Honestly, looks like shit to me.
Careful Dan, about to overstep the limit on corporate criticism.

From listening to their podcasts, it seems like they play games on the PS4 way way more than the Xbox One and don't hesitate to point out when the PS4 version performs/looks better.

I don't why people would think GB would purposely make PSVR look bad. Fanboys are crazy.

Isn't this the dude that fought John Drake on the top of the empire state building?

Remember Jeff drove a prototype PS4 home from E3 with Adam Boyes because he hates Sony?
Although I do have to say, Dan seems to be way more negative than the people actually using the headset. Jeff and Brad are saying it has some issues, and Dan is extrapolating that to infer that the thing sucks. Or at least that's what it looks like so far.

Like with Driveclub watching him play even though I was massively enjoying the game already I came away with a negative outlook, then played the game and all of that disappeared. He has an attitude of a 90's grunge kid, always looking for the snarky joke, which ultimately makes things appear a bit shit when watching him. The difference between the Batman VR demo when he was playing it compared to the other person was night and day. Get another person who was a big batman fan and you would probably have an entirely different vibe. The motion tracking is a bit worrying though but didn't look anywhere near as bad when they switched units.
I don't see what that has anything to do with what I said but yeah it is a concern. Something I'm guessing that would be exacerbated by light levels due to the solution chosen as it did when the move controllers released.
Please tell me you're joking, because if not this is pretty embarrassing for you.

Fucking amazing. Was Kane and lynch a Sony exclusive?
Like, half of their team said this was the headset they were going to get.
They'd want to JUSTIFY their purchase, not try to get disenchanted.
You know, they've been called Sony fanboys for a while now, it's nice to hear they can deliver to all sides.
Sure is. Uninformed and clueless, too.
Was he really?

The only thing that makes me weary about their views on the PSVR is how much in their mind are they comparing it to the vive experience while playing it resulting in a this is shit because vive works so much better.
I can't speak in terms of long term playing experience but every time i have played the PSVR i loved it. I always brush off Jeff's negativity but Dan and Austin saying it's not good makes me a bit worried but i am still buying it because like people have said some of this could be a software issue with the camera which could be fixed via firmware but if i don't like i will just send it back. I don't have anything against the GB duders i love them i trust Brad and Dan and Drew and Jason but you can't deny how negative and jaded Jeff gets towards things this comes up every day and he seems like the type of person who would subconsciously compare this to the vive the entire time.

Drove him up the aisle in a Warthog m8
Do we know what PSVR officially recommends? Jeff said he's in that range.

The other thing I think people do is often take things out of context. They have a few issues, but it also seems to be working and they are not all negative. Just like the Vive/Oculus streams. There is good and bad. That is why it is such a tough decision for me on the pre-order. I'm insanely curious about getting it home and trying it out: my heart wants it really bad, but my head says forget it.

PSVR, like the rest of the headsets seems like a waste of money right now to me.
