Seems to me you tried the wrong demos.
You should try Battlezone or The Heist if you want interaction and immersion.

4K VR will probably be its SNES/DC/PS2 moment, a massive leap where it REALLY comes into its own.
I'm having a crisis over which demo to try first. What makes the best first impression of VR? (London Heist is not possible, demoing at Best Buy)
They really need something else with move to demo with. It just adds so much to be able to move your hands.I keep repeating that, but it's so true.
Weird. To me, it looked on par as with the Gear VR I tried, and a step below the Oculus
That isn't happening next gen either. 4K gaming at 90 fps? Nah lol.
Same here. It was incredibly noticeable when I demo'ed it.
Just played super hyper cube and it was dope as fuuuuuuuck!!
Is that a new demo they added? That wasn't an option before was it?

There since June lol
Hmm. It must not be a popular choice. I don't think I heard anyone talk about it before.
Foveated rendering should be a reality by then though. Some company even said they were ready to implement the eye tracking cams into helmets right now for cheap.
Obviously, everybody in the lines always hype up EVE: Valkyrie so that's what they put on even though it's the worst of the bunch.
If SuperHyperCube and Headmaster got better promotion or word of mouth people would like it better and be more immersed.
Is EVE really the worst? Agh. I'm still agonizing over what to try for my first VR experience on Friday and I was leaning toward EVE.

I have no idea why anyone would choose Oculus over Vive if they had a capable PC
I don't get why Sony is having a lot of no shows.So that was annoying... I went to my nearest Best Buy on Sunday because the website said their demo was running from 11:30am to 4:30pm and the setup was nowhere to be found. I stopped and asked one of the people working in home theater about it and they said "Yeah, they were supposed to be here at 11:30am and we haven't seen them yet." It was just after 2pm.
I had other stuff I needed to do in the area (it's a half hour from home), but still, kind of miffed that I wasted my time.

Need advice again...
I wear glasses to see things at a distance. I've heard that seeing thing in VR mirrors your real eyesight. So should I wear my glasses when I play? If I don't, will things far in the background be blurry?
D'oh. Now I don't know what to do.
Okay. I'll try that. Hopefully there is no line and I can try multiple demos.
Well it finally happened. I finally tried PSVR. Met all my expectations. It was pure awesome.
Literally the only bad thing I noticed was the field of view. But once the game starts you tend to forget about it.
I jumped when the shark first bumped the cage and flinched when it started attacking. By the end, I was actually relieved when the cage started to be dragged back up.
The Eve demo was a little less "wow" to me, if only because I'm not big on space dog fight games. The targeting was a little frustrating too, I felt like trying to hit anything with my shots was a chore and the supposed "lock-on" was anything but precise. .
All told, I'm kicking myself for cancelling my preorder. Especially knowing it's coming out around the holidays and so there's a snowball's chance in hell I'll be able to find one on store shelves for a while. I'm hoping that maybe retailers get updated allotments and open up for more waves of preorders, but I'm not holding my breath for that.
weird, its way better than GearVR in the SDE department, and that seems to be the consesus. Actual engine resolutions and AA is a different story though.
Agreed, the optics are so much better than Gear VR (which I own), and the general fidelity and clarity of the image was a step above. I'd actually decided to cancel my preorder before I tried a Battlezone demo, but immediately after the demo, I re-preordered with the helpful sales rep. Can't wait for the 13th.
Did you try it with or without glasses?
Curious to know which made you feel better

Shouldn't the optics be better on the Gear VR? Using a Samsung S7 Edge you've got a 5.5" screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 and on the PSVR you've got a 5.7" screen at 1920 x 1080. Why would the screen door effect be worse on Gear VR?
I did! It was way more intense and convincing than I thought it'd be.Ha. Did you get that uneasy feeling when the shark ripped the door completely off?
I'm not sure it was just you with the Eve demo. I found the gameplay really lacking. If you get a chance to try it again Battlezone is the one that is a fun game, not just a neat VR experience.
I don't know. I didn't have to wait in line to try it and my coworker didn't either who went on one of the first demo days, so maybe there's not heavy interest where I live?There's not going to be any more pre-orders for release. But they also want to have enough boxes available in retail stores. So you might have some luck there if you go there early enough on the 13th.
How does this beast hold up against the vive? I have 3 days left to decide whether to keep the vive or return it and purchase the ps set. Anyone here with a vive test out the psvr? Besides the room scale is there any major differences?
... Because the image quality looked so much better in the menu room than in game its leading me to believe that the hardware/lenses/screens are very capable of great image quality. Its just that the PS4 is being stretched a little to thin with trying to maintain a high frame rate for both eyes....
