I just finished doing a race in the Hennessey Venom GT on Driveclub....
:O What a ride!
:O What a ride!
I'd recommend downloading the free playstation vr demo disc from PSN and using that to make your decision.
For me, Thumper and Rez are my favorites. I'll probably buy Until Dawn today, but I've only played the demo so far.
Many others really like Rigs, but many also get motion sick from it.
Arkham VR is very well liked, but it's also very short. If you can't afford much for games for awhile, it probably won't have as much replayability as some other games.
About the ones you mentioned, Keep Talking is one of the best games to play multiplayer that uses VR, but its multiplayer only. Job Simulator initially impressed me a lot for its full 360-degree world, but after buying the full game, it seems a bit too simple...
Actually bought and finished Batman VR (100%) and Wayward Skyes (not all thropies yet)... loved both!
Next I don't know....
Rush of blood, Tumble (just for the fun to pile things with the moves) and Thumper are the ones I like and that have a good price.
I also would love to buy Rez and Job Simulator, but I will wait a discount for these... (19.9 will be good for both)
Rigs, Driveclub, Battlezone not interested... Eve I don't know, the 1 minute demo doesn't help, also the fact that is a multi game...

thumper and rush of blood are next on my list.
i'm also really interested in vr worlds.
too bad that you can't just buy the games on there separately.

I tried Until Dawn's demo and wasn't really hooked, is the full game much better/feature rich?
Have yet to try Thumper or Rez, will give those a shot.
RIGS gives me very slight motion sickness but from what I've read it's isolated to the demo. Is that true?
Really would like Arkham VR but I'd rather wait to buy it retail with my GCU since there doesn't seem to be much replay value.
Keep Talking looks like a load of fun and I live with three other people so having someone to play with won't be a problem. I also think after reading up a bit more I'll hold off on Job Simulator. I plan on getting a Vive sometime early next year (probably tax return season) and getting it on that since it seems to have more content and the promise of Rick and Morty DLC
I'm just trying to get this $40 to stretch as far as I can 😔
So, I wondered also what the 'extender cable' is, that I've seen people refer to in trouble shooting - I presume it is the long cable that connects from the processor box to the cable coming out of the headset. I think you can plug the cable from the headset directly into the processor box. But of course it is much shorter.
I'm going to try removing the HDMI->DVI TV connection first, and hope that that fixes it.
When we talk about the HDMI connection, do we mean the one between the TV and the processor box, or the one between the processor box and the TV, or both? I've read elsewhere that 'HDMI 1.3' is required - I'm using the cable that came with the unit to connect the processor box to the PS4, so I assume that is OK. The one cable that might be iffy is the one between the processor box and my monitor (it's a HDMI->DVI cable, I don't think it's HDMI 1.3) - could that be affecting the signal to the headset in some way?
I might try the shorter cable that came with the PS4, to connect the PS4 to the processor box. I think it's shorter anyway. Maybe the signal on that will be stronger.

Damn, the fourth level of Until Dawn really shook me up the wrong way.
Let's say I'm not too fond of spiders.

Just got RIGS. So far it's pretty fun, which is odd that I waited so long because that's the demo I played at PSX and liked.
Picked up Jpb Simulator too, having lots of laughs with that one.
Would like Thumper, Bound, and Rez but i will have to wait.
I also picked up the Plantronics Rig 4VR specifically for my VR as my Golds and Pulse Elites somehow don't fit on my ears right when I'm using the headset . The Plantronics one has a very wide band and the cups aren't too huge so it's great. Soundwise, it's not bad, but nothing spectacular. It has a very nice mic which sounds great and is quickly and easily muted by rotating it up and there being an audible click. This is the best muting feature I've seen.
It comes with two lengths of 3.5, one for the VR and a longer one for DS4. Very lightweight. It also has vented cups which let out and let in sound which at first I thought why, but when you're wearing the VR headset for awhile, it's actually nice to not be totally engulfed soundwise. It actually made playing for longer periods much more pleasant.
Also had a week of use of the Turtle Beach 350 VR and that one is also not too bad for fitting with the headset as well as sounding pretty good for the price. The Turtle Beach is amplified which means it has to be charged to use even though it's wired. There is a nice rotary volume knob on it which I loved.
Both have great features and sound is equivalent overall with the Turtle having a bit more bass but not as clean sounding as the Plantronics. Both fit the VR headset better than other headphones for me. Each has one or two things I really like about them. Both are in the 60-70 dollar range. None sound as good as my Pulse Elites or my VModa headphones, but none of those fit when I'm wearing the VR.

Is it still there when you fully power down and power back on later? I had what I thought were 4 or so stuck pixels in a row when playing driveclub last week. After initial panic I shut it all down and came back later to find they were gone.
Would not have hesitated to buy SHC at £16, as it is I can live with messing about in the demo occasionally and waiting for the inevitable sale price.
There's also a few titles I'm reluctant to buy at any price, but would give a go if PSVR ends up as part of the ps+ programme.

It looks like this is just for the Vive but it would be great if Sony actively courted these educational experiences...

Yep I'm not happy to pay full price at the moment, especially as other games are normally below RRP at launch anyway, whereas VR games are just sitting there taking the piss.
My purchases so far have been
Retail
RIGS
Rush of Blood
VR Worlds
Digital
Batman
Hustle Kings (Upgrade)
Super Stardust (Upgrade)
Driveclub (Upgrade)
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
Thumper
I'd like to get Battlezone, but no way I'm paying over £30 for it.
Don't listen to him. Get brookhaven and rez instead.
If you didn't like the demo, you won't like the game. It is the complete second level and thus very close to the real thing. Later levels get spookier, more difficult, more crazy, but not something else altogether. As always, even the best of games (which I consider this to be a member of) don't appeal to everyone.
Also: get Tethered! Europe now, US seems to take a while longer, but get it as soon as you can if you want cute real time strategy. Too bad it is 3 more expensive now. pre-orders got 20% off, still worth the asking price. At least put it on that wish list and wait for a sale.

Were you only able to pre order Tethered in Europe?

Omg Thumper is an unbelievable game.
I tried the demo, beat it and instantly bought it on psn.
It's the most amazing game I've played in awhile. It's the perfect vr game especially in vr mode. What a rush.
Anyone know how long it is? I'm currently on level 2.

Well shit I have become a full on wuss as I couldn't even make it through Until Dawn's demo without being freaked the fuck out. That ghostly girl and zombie people making jump scares made me quit out of the demo fucking fast. (I'll still buy the game when I get my move controllers, but goddamn a rail shooter spooked me good)
And to think I had no issues playing Amnesia or any Silent Hill game alone in the dark... I don't know how I will manage through RE7.
Oh and Batman is incredibly atmospheric. Much like the Croft manor in Tom Raider VR, I just adore poking about Wayne manor and futzing with minor puzzles and objects.
Unlike most though, I wasn't very impressed with Thumper, expectedly so as I care not for rhythm-esque reflex games at all. It is pretty well done though.

Looks like it, as the game doesn't even exist in US store. The developer is GB based, but there must have gone something wrong, I can't imagine they didn't even try a simmultaneous release.

I bought EVE for 60 euros and now that the "holy hell this looks amazing" phase is kinda over there is no doubt 60 bucks is highway robbery.
The game has a "single player campaign" which basically consists of 5 missions, one on each map the game has to offer. That's right - this 60 euro game has five maps. And the mission in the demo? That's basically one whole mission. And it's the best mission. One mission is literally "fly here and wait for scripted death". The multiplayer isn't exactly better. It has TDM and some form of Domination, but given the extreme advantage higher leveled players have in terms of armor/weapons there's little fun to be had here unless you drop some coins on upgrading your ship yourself.
The tour missions are nice, it's basically freeroam sightseeing on all the maps [ALL FIVE] while you collect a couple of resources and recordings for throwaway backstory audio logs. Seriously, they had Katee Sackhoff, for fuck's sake. Such a waste.
The experience is 10/10, but if this wasn't a VR game it would've been ripped to shreds. I'm still not sure why it isn't being ripped at the moment though, this should've been a 30 euro title tops, especially considering all the microtransactions.

That ending after the boss ends legit had me SCREAMING. Didn't see that coming and when I did, I felt it, too. That was just mean to do in VR.

Battlezone is actually worth it imo. Awesome coop, a lot of replayability. With Rigs and Until Dawn, Battlezone are my favourites.
But I agree that most prices are crazy, especially compared to prices on Steam.

Especially with the ridiculous demo. "Huh, what, that was it? £55?! Nah you're alright, I love sci fi but I will wait for a proper demo or sale."

I'm lucky in that it's my 40th Birthday on the 26th November, so the Pro is a present from the parents.
Yep, Tethered and Robinson are also on my list of games to get as well, also picked up the Jackbox Party Pack 3 this month too.

New firmware update up. Doubt it's anything to do with VR, but them stability and quality updates, you never know.

Just had a demo in game (yes I payed for it).
I couldn't get it to fit snugly, had light coming in the top and bottom. Although I'm sure at home I'd get it set up better.
Did the ocean decent demo which was good, the screen door faded from my attention really quick and felt as if I was actually moving down with the cage. This sold me on getting it.
Then I played vr world's shooting gallery. This was a fuzzy mess of disappointment. The controls where intuitive and made me want vr time crisis. However the blurring and fuzziness put me off picking it up their and then. It also didn't seem 3D so to speak. More like I just had the screen really close to my face.
As a result I think I will pick up a pro first then grab vr when the ffxv vr stuff hits. Hopefully the pro helps aliviate some of the blurry aliasing.

Good. I quite liked the demo I played of it at EGX but would never pay £30 for it. £20 is a push

I'm sure their hands just slipped and made them type in £32.49.
Anyway, it's good news that they read the tea leaves, saw the shitstorm and reacted quickly.
I've been singing Tethered's praise since I played it last month. Good to see it final out and getting some decent reviews. Check some out

Thanks, I'm not really into stategy, do you consider this a difficult game for newcomers?
AbandonedTrolley

Sounds like they didn't really tell you how to fit it, I rarely get light coming in from any angles now
I love this demo/game, my partner really felt scared once the door came off and started to panic
Not sure what this was? Something from London Heist? The game itself isn't the sharpest, but it's not quite a blurry mess thankfully, and Pro should help sharpen stuff up.
Shame Game charge for testing and I wished they would knock it off the price if you then decided to purchase within maybe 7 days of the testing.
was thinking the same thing, and GAME said in a statement to eurogamer they charge for the demos so "dedicated staff who have been fully trained to adhere to best practice demo guidelines" can help you....smh

He showed me the buttons etc on the headset and I remembered the advice on here about pulling the headset down a bit. Definitely could have fitted it on better though.
Yea the demo was a London heist shooting range. It was just odd how bad it was considering how good the ocean demo was. I will definitely be picking one up based on the ocean demo as I think it will only improve from now. Will just wait until next year as I will get a pro first.

I'm probably getting a PSVR on Halloween (which is my next payday). I already have Rez, Thumper, and Playroom VR downloaded to my PS4. I think I will get Until Dawn as I like lightgun shooters AND I really liked Until Dawn itself, though I know its tie to the main game is a stretch. The price isn't too bad, too. I already own Rise of the Tomb Raider but the VR mode included doesn't look good, but I'll probably still try it.
I'm considering EVE Valkyrie, but a couple of questions first: (a) I hear microtransactions can cause a huge gulf in capability between players and it's a PVP-oriented game? Is there actually a campaign that can be done or is it all online multi? Are the differences in capability of ships that profound? (b) Is it tied into main EVE in any way? I remember they were trying to launch a number of projects that tied back into EVE somehow, as sort of extensions of that game, is this one of them? I don't play EVE, just curious is all.
Rigs is also up for consideration. I know it's focused on multiplayer competitive but I think it does look fun. Doesn't sound like there's any level of microtransaction difference among players, too.
Anything else that should be up for consideration immediately? To note, I do think Superhypercube looks great but I'm having a hard time justifying the 29.99 price, so I think I will wait for a sale.

Just picked up pixel gear which a fun little shooting gallery, albeit a bit basic. What is astonishing about it is the tracking. It is fucking spot on, no other game using the move comes close.
This tracking stuff is really confusing when you have polished games like job simulator working like shit and then you have this game out of nowhere having some of the best tracking on the system. Maybe it's to do with only one move controller?

I feel the same.
Beat it on normal because you'll need that accuracy on harder difficulties. Even the boss battles are different. Really bonkers how good the tracking is and how clear the details on the guns are. Being able to read tiny ammo amounts on the side of a gun is pretty stellar.
Worth the 8.5 bucks for sure.

Managed to get Batman working properly and 10 minutes later I'm chickening out haha. Really fun though, feels great to play.
The bit with Robin in the cage was great, and I proper jumped when the Croc dude jumped out at me. Then I went into the Asylum and started opening the doors and the Joker pops up, asking me to lean in to him. Noped out big time.
