Some games arent native and they can render at a higher resolution than the screen and downsample, which will make a huge difference in the image quality even at the screens native resolution.

That's a very nice list, but I accept it with some caution.
Hustle Kings and Super Stardust Ultra on the blog both link to the PS4 versions rather than the VR ones. Hopefully the VR versions are actually updated, but they aren't mentioned specifically as far as I've seen.
Square Enix have gone to great lengths to show how the main Tomb Raider game has been improved with Pro. I do hope the same attention has been paid to the VR section.
And what about CoD Infinite Warfare? I understand the game is day one for Pro, so Do we think it's safe to assume Jackal Assault VR experience will be offered the same courtesy?
Have you been playing your non-VR games in cinematic at all?
I'm not sure I like it.
Yeah it will be interesting to see! I know Farpoint is said to render with almost 2x the pixels on Pro.
"“Across the board, it’s more crisp. That’s because we are rendering roughly twice as many pixels. So absolutely everything will look clearer,” said Greg Koreman, co-founder of Impulse Gear, the studio behind PS VR exclusive first-person shooter, Farpoint."

The movement is so good, it's what a Rez sequel needs. And to add to the hyperbole I do think Area X is the best thing I tried on PSVR so far, my dream PSX announcements is a Rez sequel but in the style of Area X. Would be a killer app.

Seeing that all 3 games I own receive a day 1 Pro patch, I'm going to put my PSVR aside for a couple of days. Awesome news.

ok I want this badly
CORNER CASE ALERT:
So I have been in the habit of powering down the ps4 when I am done rather than rest mode, as everyone advises to prevent drift...
I am not home at the moment and was reading the Bloodborne thread and got inspired to play.
I can't remote play because my PS4 is totally off and not in rest mode. :-(

I don't have Farpoint, but that sounds fantastic. At the moment, from that list Rez and VR Worlds apply to me. Definitely looking for more reasons to buy more games soon though, lol.

Farpoint is set to release in Spring 2017 along with the new gun controller for the Move/PSVR.

Got my PSVR, but the Camera won't come until 14th....

Damn...that's unfortunate:/
11 days? Thats freaking brutal. Hide the box or something so you don't lose your mind.
Guys please, I need some help.
I turn on my PSVR after a long weekend out, as I also needed to review something, the front lights on the headset are off.
There's now way to turn them back on, only the two blue lights on the back of the headset are working.
The PS4 is seeing the headset, I tried turning the power off for both the headset and the console... nothing happened.
It was working fine 'till last week, FUUUUU.
Did something similar happen to anyone else?

Just to make sure, you are aware that the front lights only turn on when camera tracking is active in an actual game and not when powering up the system? Because only the back of the headset lights up to signal the system is on.

Hold down the power button for 7 seconds, until the second beep? Maybe that helps.
I am trying to play Rez, I see the game, no headtracking at all.
And it's not the first time I play it, of course. :/
Really? Here the camera is super-easy to get, but the Move controllers are fucking impossible.
I thought so, just wanted to make sure. I guess I can only suggest things you already tried, like unplugging and re-connecting everything.
I did it once again, not it works. Super super weird, I might still go get this unit changed tomorrow.
Thanks anyway guys!
That's just the games that will be patched Day 1. But I don't think we have any confirmation about a Batman Pro-patch.
It's a nice feature if/when you want to play non-VR games and your TV is currently occupied.
Otherwise it's not really worthwhile imo.
I wonder if cinema mode will be 'better' on Pro since I've heard it quite low res on vanilla?

Really? I love it, a virtual 226 inch screen! It feel like you're watching it in a movie theatre.
I have watched several movies with it so far and I love it. Can't wait until 3D Blu-Ray support is added.
cinema mode is not limited by GPU or anything, just the display of the PSVR. So I doubt there will be improvements.
Its not that low res anyway

It is more of a resolution problem. Some games, those with simple art styles look great on it and can be just as good an experience but those that have been designed with native 1080p and highly detailed are lacklustre in the same way they are playing on a 720p screen. Simply because the reduced pixel count can only show a certain amount of detail.
I personally find the contrast between the black and the bright screen tires my eyes out very quickly and normally I can play regular VR for hours without any problems.

I think it's fun to watch stuff in Hulu with its VR mode and various environments. It's pretty strange that there isn't something similar for playing regular 2d games/the dashboard. Surely it has to be being prepared.

Cinema mode definitely needs some atmosphere options.
The floating black screen gets uncomfortable after a while. Give me outer space and I'm happy.

As someone who doesn't have issues free-movement induced nausea and also owns many of the high-praise games like Rigs, Tethered, Rush of Blood, Thumper, etc...I'd have to honestly say that Battlezone is probably my favorite PSVR game of the bunch. The price is probably $10 too high, but the game has insane replayability for me and I love the hard-as-nails approach. When you get a game with three other good players in co-op, it rivals some of my top game experiences, traditional or VR.
Has that been actually confirmed to be in the works?

I would like to know too.
I thought the new Move controllers had the new usb ports. Like the one on the DS4 and cell phones...compared to the PS3 controller usb port type.

I really hope The Gallery: Call of the Starseed Episode 1 makes it to PSVR.

Nope. They are all mini USB. The first-party charging cradles don't even use USB to charge, they use the little copper contacts on each side of the USB port.

VR legs is a real thing, finally finished Scavengers Odyssey and could jump around like a lunatic and shoot in every direction...the end boss section was almost too much though.
Driveclub VR demo doesn't make me feel strange anymore, might buy the full version now.
Love that PSVR

Your face will get sweaty after 5 minutes with that thing. It's probably the worst thing about Vive, and something PSVR really got right. Just enough space for your face to breathe, while still providing good seal from the surrounding light.
Will the demo disc also get those updates, or will it keep running in normal PS4 mode?
What games do you have/like?
Where are you seeing these impressions, by the way? Is this people just sharing on Reddit, or you talking about actual impressions and review from outlets?

Just a heads up for people looking for an alternative to the sold out pen on Amazon... Best Buy has a Lens Pen on sale for $5.99 with great reviews, it's available for in store pickup today at my local store, and if you recently got a mystery reward you have at least $5 that needs to be spent in store by November 5th.
It can be found here.
It's also on Amazon as an add on item.
