Just watched alumette (or how you spell it )
And first thing in my mind was that was the "little match girl".. and found out that was in the credits
It was very well made and hope there will be more like these
So sad though.. but that's" the little match girl".. hopefully the next one that comes out ends on a little more happy note

Hey, I'm loving this thing, was going to wait for the Pro, but Gaf hype got me and I have no regrets, I notice one thing that could be a help with tracking for the duel shock for some.
Like many of us, when we got our ps4's we selected to dim the light bar, as we found no purpose for it being so bright, well I found a reason to pump it up, least for my room, it seems to make the tracking of the controller better.

Yeah, I've been playing it all evening. I just did a cruise in Japan (first course) and I kept stopping to look around and enjoy the scenery. My favorite part though was being stopped in a tunnel and in a car with a sunroof and looking up and seeing all of the detail on the tunnel ceiling.
VR has actually made me preorder a PS4 pro :/
Yeah, it didn't go down well when i told the missus that i had to get a pro now after saying i wouldn't get it due to the UHD drive, although i have a plan that involves a loan repayment holiday, £100 of my £300 worth of nectar points and a sold PS4 launch model

Haha, sounds similar to my plan! My conversation went something like:
"Don't worry about it. If I sell my old PS4 and use some gift cards / rewards points, the Pro is basically free!"
Completely forgot about this, well remembered!

Oh wow thanks for the tip.
So far I haven't had too much tracking issues, but I've mostly been playing thumper.
Thumper is amazing!!!
Also does Rez get more challenging or more engaging or something? All the hype on GaF has me a little lukewarm on it. I enjoy the visuals and music, but it just feels like I'm on auto pilot. I only played one level though, can't get away from thumper, gonna have to buy it.
Also is there no way to demo Superhypercube?

I'm probably gonna return it to walmart. Are returns on this thing easy? It's a great piece of tech, but it's not for me. It's not that i don't like it, its that i can't stand the feeling of something on my face. I'm all fidgety and it doesn't feel perfect. That way, i am not totally immersed.
Afaik when being used to track from the camera the controller automatically goes to bright regardless of what the setting is, so no need to change the setting.
I was impressed by Thumper too, Rez isn't my kind of game, my pick of the launch stuff is rush of blood, purely based off the demo, and Playroom, although i have Batman downloaded ready to play when i finish work this week.
Super Hyper Cube is on the demo disc (NA, at least)

It's on the disc, but no demo attached to it. Just like Bound.
There's a standalone demo of Superhypercube on the EU store.

So I'm experience that weird drift and tumbleVR again is unplayable. Noticed it in the London heist when the table would shift around - I think it happens when the controllers (move and ds4) are held up and obscure the headset from the view of the camera. My camera is set sorta low. where do you guys put it? have a feeling it needs to be eye level.
Tumble needs a setting that says to the game, push hole back 0.2m, 0.5m etc if it's gonna drift forward and you're sitting in the hole and it's unplayable.

i was trying to burn the phone with the lighter......i have played on occulus vr before but i never experienced what its like to have a 1 to 1 motion control.....its incredible

Same here! I was trying to set various things on fire with the lighter and lit cigar, Lol.
I'm giving it one more go, but it crushes my head way too much, even at the loosest of settings. I also sweat like crazy when using it.

Worst demo ever.
Yeah Batman was really amazing as well with this stuff.

Someone posted earlier you can play it. The thing doesn't display but it's there I think
ViolentP

I tried. Couldn't get the thing to launch.
I'm torn between viewing this for the first time between my Rift or PSVR. Will prolly go with the PSVR just so I don't have to deal with the godrays.

Hard decision, but I have decided to return mine. The drifting issues and occasional wobble are killing it for me.
Its too bad because there are some amazing exclusive games.

Not sure if anyone answered you, but dont beleive you can use PSEye(PS3) for PSVR. You need the dual lens PS4 camera(there are 2 versions)
Edit: or maybe Im confused. You arent using the eye for PSVR? But just to play some move games?
Ever since I moved the camera closer to where I'm sitting I have had 0 issues.
I'm right there with you. Still hanging in there though, mainly because at the very least it'll be good for media and rhythm games.

Someone at Sony HQ just had an orgasm when you said that.

Night time races in Driveclub VR are so good....
So true.
Seeing your dash lighting up from cars headlights behind you pulls you into the experience even more.

Yes apart from the other ways it can go wrong, obscuring even partial view of the headset by anything - controller ,hand, cat walking past, elbow, changes the pattern of the lights viewed by the camera and that causes the cpu to think there is movement, and you get shifted. So as well as worrying about everything else, you have to keep everything away from line of sight from the camera to the headset. And yet for various reasons, both headset and controller ideally should be in the center of the cameras visible view ... making it all a bit awkward because that sort of encourages controller in front of headset.
I wish Sony would develop a PSVR camera operating over the same port that split into two cameras with a Y cable. Then you would position both and it could use both to increase accuracy and rely on one if the other had any obscuring issues. They could put a little processor in there to do this so it was no extra CPU over the current solution. I'd pay for that. Its so damn close to a complete product. Just a bit more polish on the tracking solution.
I still couldn't decide what I should grab with the balance $30 for $100 for $15 offer but this gif just sold me on Batmanaw yeah whos batman
im batman
Thanks for the impressions. Really, all VR console games need demos. I'm hesitant to buy because frankly I'm just not sure how well they'll work with my lighting conditions or how dizzy they make me.

Holy shit guys, I just played Sports Bar VR online with 5 other people and it was so much fun! I now understand why social vr is going to be huge. It was a little laggy, but that didn't detract from the experience. It's seriously a great time for $20. I hope more gaffers jump on it!
Which games do you like best? What should I avoid?
At the suggestion of folks here, I have ordered an extension cable for the camera, which is set to arrive tomorrow, and am planning to place the camera where my PC is:
This should give me more than enough feet to meet the requirements for both sitting and standing games: I can pull the desk chair back for the former, and I should have enough room to move my arms out for the latter.
The question is which spot on my desk would be ideal for the camera:
I think the spot above the monitor (where the Berserk manga is) would be best: it wouldn't get moved at all, it keeps my monitor free from clutter, and there's a hole in the back of that part of the shelf I can slide the camera cord through.
Thing is, I'm a tall guy, 6'4 as illustrated above. Standing up, my head reaches where the green circle is. I'm wondering then if it's best to keep the camera at chest-level or otherwise. I still think that spot is best, but if anyone feel that directly on top of the monitor is ideal, or some other place, let me know. I want to be done with this so I can finally play the VR games without compromise.

I went to my local Best Buy and got the Accidental Damage plan. It was $70, but it covers the thing for 2 years and isn't a one-shot. It's stories like the above, getting scratches on the lens (which has already happened to me), and the sheer mobility of the device that swayed me. Plus, I think $70 is a whole lot easier to stomach than $400, should something worse happen to the headset.

What's nice is that there are demos of most games. For me, I like Rez, Thumper and Superhypercube (although apparently the demo is only on the UK store?).
Yeah.. I need to stop myself from getting more games. Just bought Sportsbar VR and I'm really itching for Thumper and Rez.
Then Battlefield 1 is gonna come out this Friday.. Too many games. haha
