I saw a video on YouTube where some guy who played the demo at an expo said it made him nauseous. Did you get any VR ickyness from it?Call of Duty Infinite Warfare Jackal Assault VR Experience
Short but sweet. It only takes a few minutes to clear the stage, you can go back and get a higher score. I really liked the control scheme for flight and aiming. It was a nice mix of VR head tracking and simple analog controls. Hope they add this to full game some how.

Does anyone here own both a Vive and PS VR? I'm wondering which has had the overall better experiences in your opinion?
Ace Banana, which is published by the same company as Pixel Gear also has incredible tracking. It's seated, but I've played the demo "room scale" (within the PS VR tracking bounds) and it works great. Demo's only available on the Asian PS VR disc tho.

I think any game in this genre is bound to make some people sick.

Call of Duty Jackal Assault gameplay. Played the whole thing 3 times over in about 20 mins. So yeah, very short but a real nice free gift.

That definitely is abnormal. I don't necessarily know about the last part, but there is something else at play here.

I'm having the same issue. When powering down the PSVR it won't ever sleep the processor box. You can force it to sleep by holding down the power button on the PSVR. However, my box also has trouble turning back on from sleep, and if it's not white then it won't pass video to the tv even if you are only playing a standard PS4 game. Hope that it is just a bug that can be corrected in the next update to the headset.

So, I know there was a thread on it, but I cant find it at the moment.
Whats the best solution for using the PS4 Pro with the PS VR Box when usin HDR?
Some small device I think was in that thread regarding swapping the leads.
Also, I've asked before but I'll ask again, does anyone else find since introducing the VR Box to the HDMI connection from PS4 to TV, it takes longer to switch to your HDMI channel to display the PS4? Mine seems to take longer than usual.

I figure that the breakout box gets a signal that the PS4 is on or off from the USB connection. So maybe it's something to do with USB power when the PS4 is in rest mode. Try changing that option on the PS4 and see if putting the PS4 in rest mode puts the breakout box in standby (red light).

A swtich will work, but read the thread for the gory details. I'm on mobile, else I'd expand upon this more. Sorry!

Ah, thank you very much!
I wasnt sure what search words to use for to search myself, lol
I didn't, but so far, none of the VR stuff has made me nauseous (haven't done Driveclub yet). Fun little experience. The only time I felt even remotely disoriented is when I was flying upside down, turning and shooting at ships. Nothing pukey, just a little disorienting (rightfully so).

Jackal Assault's controls and movement feels so stiff compared to EVE Valkyrie. Still, can't beat free.

Jackal assault is a cool little demo. Graphics are pretty good.
Glad it's free because that's what it's worth.

Damn. Hopefully they expand on it. Really hoping it has at least supersampling via PS4 Pro as well.

Cross-posting from the main Infinite Warfare thread:
Just played Jackal Assault. The most challenging thing is working out how to get off the licence screen (look DIRECTLY at the licence text while pressing X to accept). The level lasts 10 minutes at most. It looks really nice, aside from the rubbish explosions. There's really not much to it, but you can imagine how eventually someone is going to take the EVE/Jackal mechanics and pump them up to a full single player experience with a campaign, which will be ace. Until then, we have this. It's fine. Shooting baddies is easy but fun. Remember to invert your pitch with the Square button.
I don't know what else to say, really. It's a whole load of nothing. It happens. The cockpit's nice. You enjoy a bit of pew-pew-pew. It ends. Such is the life span of a short freebie.

If you could kerb your excitement a tad next time you come in here and post that would be greatly appreciated but it's okay. We're used to gushing impressions.

Just to counter the Debbie Downer
Last night I had my first go of co-op Battlezone and damn is it great fun! Really cannot recommend it enough.
It's a whole load of something, shit happens. The cockpit's great. You enjoy lots of pew-pew-pew and bang-bang-bang. It lasts a really long time. Such is the life span of an amazing tank game with friends!
How's co-op in that game?

The IW space battle one is probably IW testing the waters and gauging from No. of downloads if they should make a real game. Good to hear positive impressions. I've downloaded it. Just don't feel like playing video games just yet.

Really great, it's drop in - drop out, mid game too so you can get new players joining to help out. As all the headsets have a microphone the communication between members can be key (advising of turrets or incoming waves, location of ammo etc) Most fun I've had online in a long time as I'm generally a single player guy other than racing games. I don't tend to do the co-op stuff or FPS. But honestly, get with a good group of people and you will have a blast on it.
Finished Windlands last night. It was short, but actually not as short as I expected: 5 and a half hours for a first, reasonably thorough, play through (90/120 collectibles). And I'll get a few more hours out of it when I go back for the remaining collectibles/trophies.
Loved the game itself, swinging around is fun if a little fiddly, and the momentum/jumping mechanics make for some cool puzzles. I like that the collectibles are generally easy to find, and it's more of a puzzle on how to reach them than a blind search through an open map. Challenge levels are also great and a nice change of pace from the usual exploration.
I got a little motion sickness from this, not enough to stop me playing and it usually fades after a few minutes, but that's still more motion sickness than any other game I've tried so far.
My only complaint is that so much of the traversal feels so awkward. I know thats most of the challenge of the game but I honestly got fed up of constantly straining my neck to look straight up. In later levels you spend more time looking up than anywhere else, it's uncomfortable on the next, earphones loosen/fall out, and the headset itself feels like it will slip off (unless you have it unconfortably tight). The hardest sections also get a bit repetitive as you just feel forced to repeat the same trick over and over again (unless I was missing something).
Those are minor complaints, I'd recommend this game to anyone who doesn't have too many problems with motion sickness. Don't expect a deep story, this is more about the casual exploration/puzzling.
(Oh, and if you have trouble getting your grappling hooks to work you might need to swap the shoulder buttons/triggers in your PS4's accessibility settings.)

Played IW space demo
Um
1) enemy ships explode with no fanfare = zzz
2) visuals + AA looks better than Eve
3) Controls better than Eve (I didn't get no motion sickness)
It feels like a good demo but the lack of oomph space fighting made it rather dull

That doesn't match my observations. I think it checks wether the HDMI outputs anything.
Whenever I download anything with the PS4 in stand-by, e.g. when I start a download via web store, the TV tells me that the PS4 is outputting a signal. When I switch to that input, there is nothing, of course, but the prompt comes up briefly.
And the breakout box behaves accordingly. If i have pending downloads when putting the PS4 in rest mode, the breakout box keeps the white lights (and the fan) on. Otherwise it turns red after a few seconds. I have activated the option to power USB for 3 hours.
Yeah I'm not getting that at all. Something is wrong

I will answer myself in case another Gaffer was wondering the same : I imported the game and good news ! the North American retail version of the game is the same than the digital version sold in Europe : English dub with localized subtitles !

you guys tried the playroom vr platformer games? pretty cool.
Ohh man, why that long?
No idea man. I don't think Sweden has got ONE shipment of Move controllers since PSVR-launched. And the store I've ordered the bundle from says 29 days, could be a guess.
Heck, I don't even think they had the Twin Pack in store for launch here.
Don't worry, there's PLENTY of games to keep you occupied in the meantime that don't use/need Move controllers.

I'm using Zeiss lens wipes for them and also antibacterial wipes for the headset itself.
Others are using a Nikon lens pen
Okey thanks! Will look up these.
Yeah but the problem is I don't think it will ship without the full order
. Gotta contact the store.

Are the Zeiss wipes definitely safe? Don't wanna risk anything haha
