Tilt the camera down. I think the circle is what it sees as the middle of the play area based off where the camera is aimed.

I also disagree. Sure it's not like looking at your high def tv but it's pretty awesome playing a 2D game on a IMAX size screen with a perfect black level. Frankly it's amazing.

But why? UC4 is an amazing looking game. Cinema mode makes it look plain bad.

And here comes PS VR NSFW stuff along with it. Though it has been announced PS doesn't support porn, but those are regular .mp4 files to be played.

So I think I'm going to hook up my VR and retry the demo of Here They Lie again. I tried it right after I did the Kitchen demo last time, so I think I was too shook to really give it a good chance. I may try Until Dawn again, since I pussed out in the intro when that thing jumped at me. I'm going to conquer horror in VR or die trying.
It's fine for every other game (at present) it just with job simulator the one specific area of the room they want me to stand is exactly where my very heavy chair is.
I'll see If I can nudge things around to try and get a few more inches of space. Thanks.
bare in mind you don't have to face the TV, only the camera. so if room is tight you could move the camera somewhere else facing a different direction.

I've actually started to think about getting a second PS4 so my kids can continue to play Overwatch while I play PSVR. LOL.

Played Until Dawn Rush of Blood on Saturday night, holy shit it is amazing! scary as fuck, I love it. I also tried Headmaster and Playroom VR on Saturday great games.
Unfortunately I tried Driveclub VR had to take the headset off, felt dizzy and sick. Is there a way to prevent this from happening or do I just have to ignore games like this? Will I get used to it and will it better if I keep playing them?

Rez only supports ONE move controller, and I think it's whichever one you turned on first.

I dont know how individual that is, but I got the motion sickness much quicker the first few days I played those kinds of games in VR. Yesterday when I played Driveclub i didn't really feel sick at all. I think it is a combination of getting used to it and having the right setup.

OK, thanks. I've just been reading up on it and apparently having a head cold can cause it and unfortunately I have a head cold @ the minute so I'm hoping that caused the issue.
The article also says chewing gum can also help.

PSVR is 100% immersive, but I'm starting to wonder whether I really want to be THIS immersed into video games.
I can't help but feel there's something unhealthy about being strapped into this headset for hours. I really wonder what the long term effects are.
There's something "off" after you take off the headset and are back in the real world. I didn't think my complaints about PSVR would be that it works too well.

alternatively, if it comes to it. you could take some motion sickness medication. they worked with me as a kid. i assume they would in VR?
i think i once read about effects of simulators/VR in the military and that long exposure can lead to a sense of disassociation and that extended use make you get used to VR but then your brain almost flips and registers reality as the "VR". not in the sense you're going to run off a building and expect to survive. but just in the sense you have to get used to reality again. it doesn't take long to, but it is something that's there.
i have to say, after a few days straight of PSVR i do get small feelings of disassociation the day after at work. it's the only effect it seems to have on me, but it soon wears off. the only times i've felt like that is honestly with drugs.

I really liked eve but the demo is really short. I think I will wait on all three until the price drops...
Sadly no. PSVR Cinema VR is useless because of that. Well except for 360s videos.
Im still on the fence about this. I have a Vive and am a bit burned by the lack of a significant future software presence. Does psvr's software outlook seem alright past this wave of launch titles? I might just invest in the tech to support the medium, but it's difficult if the future is uncertain

so far it's looking bright. obviously a lot of those could be canned if the tech doesn't take off as well as expected.
Imo regardless of platform it's rarely a good idea to invest for uncertain future.
A friend of mine bought XB1 because he loved Kinect on 360 and looked forward to current gen Kinect titles...
Wouldn't the best approach be to wait and see? Seeing as you already lost patience with Vive, get PSVR when it will have enough games you're interested in.

I tried using the PSVR without the Processing Unit hooked up to the PS4 via the HDMI input but it said it needed to be hooked up to the PS4. I thought that you can use the PSVR without the PU being hooked up via the HDMI cable.

"Fun" is the word I keep going back to. I can't describe any of my VR experiences without saying how much fun it was. There's a simple purity to it that games have been kind of lacking lately.
Being the VR platform that will earn developers the most money for the next two-three years should secure a good portion of the VR projects at least.
Robinson: The Journey, Resident Evil 7 and Farpoint are some milestone exclusives in the near future.
edit: Exclusivity-funding aside (and we know Oculus has committed to another $250m thanks to Facebook).

Tried that VRideo app on the US PS store. Some really cool videos there with some actual educational value. There was also some gimmicky videos where you have "human interaction". That was pretty creepy how lifelike that felt at times. Some potential there definitely.
Its a pretty great app.

Aren't most 360 videos also side by side?

Played some more.
had to pull the VR headset off my head after playing scavenger journey or whatever its called. The jumping and the flipping. lord no. Now I'm dreading Rigs.
finished The London Heist. That was really quite fun but real short - and there were moments in there where the physicality of the guys in the room/in the car with you felt really quite real. The chase section was great fun. Watching the actors go at it in the scenes makes me wonder if oculus/vive has content of this fidelity?
Played the playroom platformer demo - it was cute how when you rescued them, they're go to y
. very cute. How do you solve the conveyor belt bit? The grapple mechanics with the touch screen was also very clever.
harmonix music demo was really quite fun, the painting one was great with both move controllers. Might buy it when its on sale. How much is it?
Paid $10 for Superstardust VR (already have the game). Mind you have I have a 3D tv and I gotta say, I dont think it looks very good in VR, its just crisper and nicer looking on the 3D tv in 3D mode. Haven't played its VR game mode. Wish I put the $10 into batman instead.

FoV reduction is actually one of the known mechanisms by which to reduce nausea in VR with artificial rotation. If they're indeed reducing the FoV, then the "fucking genius" was just following actual studies into human perception of VR. You'd have been even worse off with a wide FoV.
Sports Bar VR online is a bit of a disaster if you get lag. Just ruins everything.
Playted Job Simulator again since the patch fixed the crashing and I just can't do that game. Any combination of standing up, having to raise your hands and the move controller just breaks everything and makes it go all swimmy.

The center slowly starts moving to one direction (usually left) so when you're facing something that's supposed to be centered in front of you, you end up looking to your left. Either a little bit or a lot and trying to manually center it in-game is impossible.
