So I got the move controllers, a camera and the headset today.
Games: VR Worlds, Playroom VR, Eve Valkyrie, Until Dawn RoB, Driveclub, Sports Bar, Rez and all the free stuff.
On VR Worlds I played the Shark attack. Pretty good intro to VR I guess. I've never used VR before.
I got as much enjoyment from bashing the rock around on the VR Worlds menu too. It's very convincing.
Next I tried Driveclub. I did a couple of races. No sickness but I was starting to feel a bit fatigued by the end of it. My second race was a lot less smoothly driven than my first though. The blurriness of the graphics was a little bit disappointing because normal Driveclub was stunning, but it's understandable given the circumstances.
Lastly I tried the Kitchen demo. When the knife goes close to your face it really does make you want to move away instinctively.
All in all I'm really quite impressed.
It's an immersive experience. It doesn't feel like a cheaped out bit of kit and it really works. No massive camera jittering of any sort here and the controllers are OK the majority of the time. I wish the resolution was a teensy bit higher just to make text a bit clearer and help make things a tiny bit crisper but the image is by no means bad and good software design can help alleviate those shortcomings somewhat.
I didn't puke which is a bonus but the fact I started to feel a bit fatigued tells me I need to build up to it a bit more before I try to play for two hours or more at any given time.
Hopefully it'll take off and do well because I'd love to see a PSVR 2 with a much higher resolution screen when the PS5 comes out.
