I get the feeling the more impressive visual games arent running native res but they use some kind of blur filter maybe so you don't see harsh pixels but just really blurry visuals. Obviously the low res means this is inevitable for things in the distance but stuff like Luge and Here They Lie really feel like the entire world is super blurry where some other stuff doesn't look half as bad.
I've noticed though the use of blurry textures too so even when you look up close there's not as much detail as the screen can render. Thinking the dashboard readouts and dials in Driveclub.

I am picking up my contacts soon, so that I don't have to use my glasses. Seeing already that someone has scratched their PSVR lens, already makes me paranoid that it may happen with mine. I have stuck with mostly no glasses for it, but it's hard to get used to when you have bad vision.

Been using this one on my 3 year old, but it is losing effectiveness. She called my bluff when I told her the restaurant would call the police if she didn't finish her Mac & cheese.
I have glasses on when using mine, really worried about the scratching now.
I think the bridge stops the glasses from getting too close to the lenses but certainly going to be much more careful from now on.
Are the lenses replaceable at all like they are for other headsets? Would be pretty shitty to damage them and have no way fix it.

Been using my glasses up close and personal all the time so far without any issues. Paranoid now though!

The combination of low rendering resolution with AA coupled with lenses that pretty much focus the screen to your face where you can just about make out individual pixels can be fairly messy in some games.
whoa, good tip! Will try it tonight.

The game isn't out on the US store yet. That's probably why it's giving you an error. You have to wait until ??? GCT when the store updates (usually between 2-6PM).
That's..........weird. How can they issue active codes for a product that isn't out yet?

Never let it be said that I hide anything
In truth, we probably shouldn't have released the game without VR support--it was a necessity however given certain elements out of our control, and we were able to make huge improvements to the gameplay and presentation as result. But, honestly, if I could remove the non VR mode I probably would, because it truly comes alive in VR.
Good to hear. I'll be picking your game up at some point, hopefully this week. I'm always a fan of devs hearing feedback and using it to improve their work.

I think Amazon fucked up majorly with their Founders Pack codes to those who bought in on EVE for $20. I redeemed mine last night and went in game to see my items. Nothing was there. I check the media tab and it tells me the start and expiration date are both the same.
Between this and iam8bit, apparently giving out working PSN codes is a Herculean task.
I'm considering buying a dedicated pair too. It has to be as small and narrow as possible with the lenses as close to my eyes as possible. I look forward to the vendor trying to persuade me that I look like an idiot with glasses way too small for my face
How does this work?

I think they get the codes before the release date.

Not a software thing.
Guy is literally closing one eye and getting the headset sitting right for that eye, then closing that eye and getting it right for the second eye without messing it up for the first eye.

Yeah it definitely made it much easier to get a clearer picture.
Exactly.
My first run through with the PSVR I was kind of underwhelmed. I tried Drive Club (instant sickness, literally under 2 seconds into the race I had to force quit), Allumette (good), Battlezone (boring), Eve (short, not my thing anyway), Thumper (okay).
Next time through I tried Until Dawn (boring, but voice acting was pretty solid), Harmonix VR (better than I thought; the dance thing was pretty fun), Wayward Sky (solid) and most importantly Playroom VR, which is mindblowingly awesome.
I need full versions of the games in the Playroom suite, and devs need to take cues from those titles. They're the most fun I've had in VR, Vive experiences included.

Man - I've got the VR game buying fever for sure. Was going to hold off on Rigs but it was staring me in the face last night on the PSN store and I couldn't stop myself from pulling the trigger. Looking forward to trying the full game out tonight!

Man, time just flies by when you're in this thing. That platform game in PS VR World was awesome, who knew that type of game could work so well in VR. Was also really enjoying the Move supported games like London Heist.

Edit, that's assuming it was my post you saw and not anyone else's. lol

I noped right out of the kitchen demo as soon as the zombie ran behind me.
I can't do the horror VR stuff. Too intense.

After spending a bit more time with PSVR, I think I'm just too cynical for virtual reality in general. It never feels "real" to me. I never get the sensation that something flying at my face is actually going to hit me. It feels like I'm watching a giant screen but not like I'm actually inside the game.
I watched several other people play yesterday and they were all freaking out and flinching at things that flew at them, acting really scared and uncomfortable at unfamiliar situations. I just don't get any of those feelings with VR.
Am I a broken person?

Is there something resembling a consensus on the best long-form launch game yet? I'm looking for something a bit more meaty than Thumper.
Is Driveclub long? I really liked the demo.

I'd say try something that involves a phobia of yours. If it doesn't affect you any more than staring at it on a TV screen then I guess you're just a robot. The Vive's spatial movement adds an extra layer of interaction so maybe that might help, but for example in the Until dawn demo nothing scared me because I knew I was on rails with fictional/silly looking things staring at me. That wouldn't scare me in a movie or in VR.
Its dope, if shallow. You stand your ground and shoot at waves of monsters (varying types and sizes) then in-between waves, upgrade your weapons or abilities.
Like a less dynamic Killing Floor.

You can try Rigs, especially if you like a bit MP. There's 3 different game modes, single player seasons, unlocks, multiplayer, etc. People are saying that the MP portion isn't really populated but I expect it to expand, I'm still messing around in single player and will eventually play some mp.
RIGS OT

Huh?
Thank you! Headmaster is the headbutt football one right? I've never heard of overcooked. I'll look into it!
Good point. I do love the aesthetic too... Thanks!
Thanks for the tip! I hope it isn't too many pages?
And Headmaster from vr worlds? You refer to danger ball? That's what drove me away from Headmaster is they appeared kinda similar to me. I've played danger ball but not Headmaster

It depends how much time you want to put into it really. I have one star left in the tour to get (22 second and come first, i keep getting 22.4) and the trophies seem very easy, though getting to level 60 will take a while. The length of the game lies in how long you like messing about with different cars and tracks and all the different modes.
I'm enjoying my time with the headset so far, but I feel the same way. My brother tried it and he feels the same, too.
We're both very impressed with the tech, but neither of us felt truly immersed in the experience. It's a great start, but VR still has a long way to go.

This made me laugh so hard! It's the first thing that my brother did as soon as he put on the cowl and saw his reflection. Too funny.
It sounds more complicated than it is
Put the headset on and tighten it 75%
Shut one eye and move the headset up down left right until that eye is crystal clear, now close that eye and move onto the other, whilst adjusting for the second eye frequently check the first is still clear.
The headset may feel like it's sitting funny when you finish but you'll have perfect vision and should get zero bloom when reading the adjust headset text, even at the edges.

Imagine adjusting a pair of glasses one eye at a time by closing the other to get the clearest image you can with each eye.
Now imagine that with VR Goggles to see if you can match the sweet spot with both eyes at a time.
Not everyone's eyes are spaced and positioned the same. More often than not one eye is higher than the other and closer/farther apart than the guy next to you.

I have a confession to make as well, in Danganronpa VR
I turned the game off before you get crushed at the end.
I spent a couple minutes trying to bounce it up and down before batting it away.

I'm a bit miffed about the two scratches I have on one of my lenses. And I don't even wear glasses!
Though, now that I think about it, my Pops came over to check it out and he kept his reading glasses on. Maybe that was the culprit? Glasses + PS VR = scratches seems like it might be a major issue.
Lol while I didn't do that I closed my eyes and raised my arm in panic at that very moment
I don't typically have the extreme reactions a lot of other people are, although once in awhile a game will get me. This doesn't take away from the fact that using the PSVR feels otherworldly. To me, it's a bit like doing drugs without actually doing drugs. It sort of hits the same hallucinatory parts of your brain (even more so in certain games...) and leaves you feeling a bit different afterwards. If you don't feel that at all, then I don't know.
You can, but personally I'd get the wands.
