Speaking of Robinson, looks like it is 32$ for prime members right now.

Wasn't it so that all games releasing from October and beyond needs a Pro-patch?
That's hilarious. But thanks for taking the bullet for us. It's gotta be really difficult to do a scene with your partner having a giant multicam rig on their heaf

Very good choice, it's perfect for a first dive into VR.
Any new consensus regarding the best PS4 camera version to use for VR? I have the old camera already and have been using it for a week. I do have some drift/jitter at times. Through the Best Buy promotion, I got a free new version of the camera and I wasn't sure whether to open it to see if it reduces drift or just sell it as brand new?

Just played 5 hours of One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 in Cinema mode.
Do yourself a favor and play any warriors game in VR. The screen being huge made it easier to pick out individual characters in a swarm of enemies. This is way better than seeing them as tiny dots on a TV.
Oh, and I posted the sweating gif for a reason. My head was literally sweating the whole time. It might be time for Sony to add some kind of A/C unit to PSVR.
Edit: And in cinema mode, you still get the benefit of 3D sound!

Any recommendations for a headset that'll fit over the top of your head and vr?

Robinson & Farpoint are the two reasons I picked up a VR. Will also be the reason I pick up the Pro next month.
As in some headphones or ones with a mic? The VR headset has a mic on it I think anyways.
I use Sennheiser 598s and they are great, and fit super comfortably over the PSVR.

Pretty sure this is a software bug of some kind.
The technology triangulates your position based on a camera image. Its kind of hard to believe that it is a hardware problem where the image is "slowly drifting to the right". Its almost impossible based on the technology choice.
Its more likely whatever libraries do the calculations for location are buggy.
It's your setup or faulty hardware on your side. Sit infront of it and try again.
I don't own one yet, but I just read about it here.
Again, where is this confirmation that games released after the Pro have to have Pro support? Everyone says it, but no one has provided proof.
What, how? I have Sennheiser 558s, which are practically the same shape, and I most certainly can't wear them with the PSVR, there simply isn't enough room between my ears and the PSVR's headband.
It's been part of the very first leaks in April based on the internal documentation that was leaked to EG, GB etc.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
They patched 3D support into the media player today?

Picked this up yesterday and finally got to sit down with it.
I spent a contiguous 4.5 hours playing the demos and VR worlds with no breaks.
Impressions:
Tracking is perfect for me. Everything including the move controllers feels 1:1. Never had drifting issues at all. Very happy with the responsiveness of the unit and controls.
I LOVE the shooting games. Feels so good. And the little bits in London Heist where you can light the cigar and muck around with things is very immersive. I tried to light everything on fire with the lighter and I may have tuned in Tokyo on a couple of the characters. This really shows the potential of interaction. God...a free roam RPG where you can search drawers and stuff using the move controllers would be soooo good.
I only got queasy at the end of my session as I was playing through the first chapter of Odyssey...or whatever that space mech game is. The jumping and twisting of the screen into different orientations (especially in combat) is what did it, I think. I find that if I turn my head and turn the camera in the exact same direction, that is when the queasiness sets in. Unfortunately by the time I figured it out it was too late and I had to give it a rest. Funny thing is that rigs demo never made me queasy and it moves in very much the same way.
I did one race in vomit comet and had some momentary queasiness at the beginning, but had no real issues.
It's amazing how varying the graphics quality is in the games. Some look great and others look like dog shit. I found in sunny scenes, the graphics lacked quite a bit. Drive Club looks pretty awful and so does that luge game. Even the heist suffers a bit during the brightly lit chase sequence. When things are darker and moodier, It hides a lot of the short comings in power.
I really want to see some full length games for this thing. I know devs are trying to keep the experiences to like 30 minute chunks, but we need some full games in my opinion. London heist is one that could be made full. I'd love to spend some hours embroiled in those shenanigans. And a skyrim like rpg would be awesome.
Anyway, loving it so far. Hopefully it gets support for more than a year. Looking forward to whats on the horizon for vr.

I've been putting off playing it as everyone seems to be saying this. My lad tried it and said it made him feel ill, despite being fine with everything else he played. Think I'll leave it till last thing at night before I try it, don't wanna feel ill and lose a whole night playing VR!

For RIGS veterans... should I play with right stick or headturn. Last option is faster,but makes me dizzy..,
No. It's not 3D, just 360 video with headtracking.
Yes, but Sony hasn't confirmed that. I realize pretty much everything else with the leak was true but things can still change, especially with developers supposedly being unhappy about possibly being forced to develop for the Pro. Time will tell very soon.

The more i was looking around for the best way to measure my ipd correctly i´ve realised how darn important it seems to get right, now just to find at what distance the optics are making you focus at, i think it was about 8 feet?
I do want a manual setting for this sony, a bit of an oversight as the picture method is simply worthless and i had variations on like 4-5 points as highest and 2-3 on the lower end, well off to mix around with the picture to get the needed ipd.

absolutly..i am struggeling at the moment. I still need to finish deus ex, but i kinda refuse.. The only game i have played was fifa 17 due to friends..but it feels kinda lame now .. everything is so meaningless. 
Well then the answer is obvious isn;t it?
I mean unless you want to be competitive to the point where you sacrifice how you feel, I'd stick with the more comfortable option.
Yes, VR for me after owning PSVR for a week now is the future of gaming. I agree that it should co-exist with TV gaming but it's just so hard to play when all I think about is how great it would to be playing this in VR.
I applaud Sony for jumping in on VR but let's just see how long they support it for. If PS5 launchs full VR ready then I'll be there day one.
There's just so many past games could be re-released with VR capabilities.
Somehow my post didn't...post. I assume because of the Switch outage.
Basically I was praising the heist. The graphics, sound, and controls are all great but the shootout in the middle felt like I should have been standing? Either way I REALLY REALLY wish London studio would turn this into a full game with branching storylines.
Also played VEV. It's a sweet VR 6DOF with amazing sense of scale. I'm gonna try to use it to train my VR legs. The menus are exceptional and it's only 5 USD. So support truant pixel and buy it!

Yeah, I kind of feel the same way as I did after finishing The Last of Us. Of course this is more due to the technology than due to being in awe of a game, but it's hard to return to "normal".

BTW. Anyone else notice then you go to the Playstation Store in VR the VR game cover art are in 3D. That's a very nice touch.

Getting very close to it. Don't know if that is because everything is new and shinny and I have a lot to play or I legitimately am losing interest.
That is exactly what we don't want right now. That is the reason why 3D VR is so important. Sony needs to patch that so you didn't see the real deal.
yeah, everything else feels...flat...*chuckles to himself at the brilliance of his humor*

Hope they do another Beat the Devs event for RIGS soon, as I can't make tonight's. I am willing RIGS to takeoff, as online it's nothing but thrilling. Even if I just get to play one or two matches a day, it's a joyous rush!
Hey thanks for the feedback! I figured it might be useful for something like that. I realized after working in VR for 6 months nothing makes any of us queasy. Maybe that's why
i just dabbled with it but no quizy here either... yes, you are spinning around so it is a good exercise for sure.

Someone posted this on Reddit to help manually tweak things regardless of the pictures. So use the camera method to get what Sony thinks is right and then adjust it from there to get the best result. But having a simple slider in the VR helmet with some text and a picture so you can see what is best on the fly would be simple and the best option.
https://www.reddit.com/r/PSVR/comments/58jb5y/ipdeyetoeye_measurement_number_cheat_sheet/
Another tip I saw from someone is that it can be hard measuring pupil to pupil if you have dark pupils. Instead, you can measure the left corner of one eye to the left corner of the other eye for the same length. Or right to right.

We need to get Slixshot on this!!
Thanks, also trying to find my perfect number and hoping for more clarity. It seems for DriveClub the lower the better. Settled for 59 now and it seems ok.
But I will try this method later:

Does anyone know, when Brookhaven will be released in EU? Can´t get enough of those "Lightgun" games. Only reason I didn´t sell my Moves for PS3 in all those years.
