The change from "VR is here and it's actually good" to "VR will be good at some point in the future" has been funny though.
It's still 60fps...could even be 90fps or 120fps. I think Game Bomb streams everything out at 30fps but the archive should be 60fps

Its required to be at least 60 in the actual headset
social screen might just be 30, but the actual game is 60
way less jitter complaints. only weird things happened during Driveclub VR

I mean, the actual game is 90 (or 120) fps. Still, not the kind of VR game I'm looking for.
Virtual Reality just got REAL

What a weird ass mode.
Hmm, interesting. Stardust is always a good time so if the FPS in VR is still high and all then that's good.
e: I totally forgot about the 60FPS rule so, yeah lol.

Man these guys are really down on VR it seems. Makes me sort of worried for plopping down the cash on this (I won't be able to try it out until tonight).

The PSVR Thread here is the complete opposite of the stream, everyone is really excited over there, probably the novelty ...
Im also getting worried about getting this thing, I have been looking forward for a headset since the original Oculus though...
They're just being realistic. For them, the honeymoon period was done months ago.
They all like VR, they just don't think it's fully worth the price, and they just want it to get better. Which I agree with.
I wouldn't be surprised if in a month's time, a lot of people who got the PSVR today aren't as hyped as launch day.

Sony won't allow any PSVR games with an effective frame rate lower than 90.

This seems so tacked on and boring
99% of it is still in tech demo territory so I can see why.
They've been viewing VR content for years. That honeymoon period has worn off.
Indeed, this is FAR from their first crack at VR, and these games aren't doing anything they weren't already familiar with.
That's not true at all. Your game can run 60fps, and the PS4 will reproject that to 120fps.

Not sure what you mean by effective, but Sony allows 60 fps games and fudge it with reprojection.

I think calling that 'effective 90' is very inaccurate though and makes it sound like additional frames are being generated. It's 60fps with reprojection.

Reprojection is doing exactly that. Every other frame is added. It is warping the natively rendered frames and adding them.
The idea that all games would be VR in the future was always funny to me.
But it is good, just not recommend-$5-800-hardware-to-everyone-unconditionally good.

I've read reprojection really only affects the motion of your head/viewpoint. When it comes to the game itself, like characters moving around and such, it still looks like 60fps.
