How's Trackmainia VR?
Not a lot of discussion here but there is a thread gushing about it on reddit.

I'm sure there's a list, so sorry about that, but what is the full list of PSVR games with Pro patches?
I'm hungry for games that benefit from the Pro after Bound and Batman.

It's easily the best PSVR game by a mile. It's PSVR's Rocket League IMO. It's pure sporting action.
I suggest using the right thumbstick for turning and getting rid of at least the comfort setting that puts the black borders on your peripheral vision. It just made me feel like I had tunnel vision. At this point I've turned every comfort setting off but you might want to keep some of the others on at first lol
I loved it, only disappointing thing is it's a bit short. 40 tracks, all quite easy. It's also got a weird follow-camera most of the time that takes a bit of getting used to.
For a free update, I can't complain, really wish they'd unlock the rest of the game in VR mode, maybe if we ever get a sequel it will be more VR compatible.
Rocket League is the exact comparison I got playing Rigs. Agree with the rest of this advice as well.

So I hear, but I have tried Rigs about 5-6 seperate times now. It's been over two weeks since I purchased my PSVR. I'd estimate between 6-10 hours of actual use.

Try breathing through your nose more. Sucking on hard candy or chewing gum helps. Also use some type of fan like a ceiling fan. Another tip is to take off your socks and keep your feet flat on the floor.

Do you always get sick at the same point in Rigs? Or are you lasting longer?
I just tried (and finished) O! My Genesis. It's a really fun game. They probably should've waited before they had more than 30 minutes of gameplay but it is really, really cheap.

Rigs + PS4 Pro is a revelation. It is shocking how improved it looks.

Just picked up a PS VR yesterday. I've got to say two things in terms of first impressions. Idk what everyone means by screen-door effect. I thought I did before playing PS VR, but now I don't know. The Cinematic Mode is awesome! Maybe I have bad eyes or something, but I really like the way it looks. I watched parts of a basketball game via league pass and it was amazing! Idk.
And my second thing is related to Driveclub VR. So before and after launch some journalists were saying Driveclub VR was an ugly game. I remember watching Giant Bomb's launch stream, and Jeff was saying the game didn't look great, that it wasn't worth it. But I played the demo on the demo disc, and I was pleasantly surprised. It's probably the best looking VR game I've played so far, and I absolutely want to play all future racers in VR. It was fantastic.
Only issue I have is my eyeballs keep smudging the screens and I frequently have to readjust the headset because it slips subtly sometimes, and things get blurry. Also, I was playing Job Simulator and I noticed the room kept moving. Is there something I could be doing wrong to cause this?

lol! Just wait until you play some games that actually look good. Driveclub looks terrible, but I'm actually glad you're liking it.
The Job Simulator "room moving" issue is what we all call wobble. When you hear people complaining about the PSVR tracking, this is why they're complaining. Do what you need to do to try to make it better, like this guide here, but ultimately it's just that the tracking gets really horrible the further you get away from the camera.
People will tell you that theirs is flawless, and you'll start to wonder if you have a faulty unit, but you don't. Hopefully Sony can improve the tracking via software soon.

I wish more people had eyeballs like you and me, I love using Cinema Mode FOR everything and also thought DriveClub didn't looked that bad. People just have very high expectations it seems.
Glad you join the VR club

Can't remember if anyone asked for a review on Harmonix Music VR, but here's one anyway: https://psvr-reviews.com/2016/11/18/harmonix-music-vr/
Plan on reviewing O! My Genesis and Time Machine VR tomorrow (when it eventually downloads!)
If there's any other requests let me know. I'm trying to do the new ones as they release and then am going back to launch games.

I wish the resolution in DC didn't bother me because without that it would be one of the best looking games. But the res holds it back so much.

If Driveclub looks terrible what looks good!?

I finally got my hands on Eagle Flight last night and played through to chapter 3. There's some things I like and some things I don't care much for, but all in all I'm enjoying it.
Ubisoft made an excellent choice with the aesthetic style on two points; one, that it likely covers up lowered geometry, and two, gives the world distinct character. The initial view of the world when you're sitting in your nest is absolutely breathtaking. I also think it was a clever choice to have you see the feathers around your face and your beak while you're playing. It really sells the whole "You're an eagle!" angle. Without it, it would just feel like you're playing an FPS but flying. The music is also quite wonderful and when it ramps up during intense segments, it really gets your heart pumping.
Soaring above and through the streets of Paris is very exhilarating when you really get a lot of momentum going. I tried one of the "Expert" challenges and hit my fair share of walls and posts before finally making it through unscathed (though I did apply the brakes a few times). Searching for collectibles is exciting, though I feel like having a health mechanism (hearts or whatever) instead of one-hit-and-you-restart would have been better.
My biggest complaint is not having an option for controlling flight with the Dual Shock 4. I've always had weird issues with my neck, so having to tilt to aggressively or very far to one side (for tight turns) got to be uncomfortable and gave me a headache. I also would have liked to have some sort of mini-map or something to aid in tracking down collectibles. Having to rely completely on line-of-sight is a little annoying.

Thanks for the tips! I'll give those a shot.
I am lasting a bit longer, but I can't seem to make it past the initial training without feeling sick as a dog. Usually when they ask me to start using speed burst and hitting the targets in the training area.
I can't imagine Farsight giving a shit. They really treat their console ports as second-class citizens.

It would be great if you review some of less popular titles like "Waddle Home", "Kismet", "Ace Banana", "Volume", and "Catlateral Damage".

I'll do all of those except Kismet. It's not even a game and is about Astrology. I can you tell you now it's bollocks. haha
Unfortunately, I don't think it has any Pro update as of yet. I tried it, and did not notice any difference at all (blurry things around her room are still blurry)
Hopefuly with the new content soonCommunity Forum

Got an official Lens Pen from Walmart since Amazon has been OOS.
It was $10, in the camera section, and it works great.

I'm still bummed I'm not sitting in The Chair this month issuing orders to my Federation starship crew.

Played a bit of Robinson tonight on the Pro. It looks really nice but I'm not sure if I'm liking it or not. I did the 2nd power generator puzzle thing and I was climbing up to get to the 2nd message orb thing and I was just getting kind of annoyed with it. I don't know if walking around scanning things is going to be enough to keep me going.

Game gets better as it goes on imo. It's not perfect but I'd like a more fleshed out sequel with more dinos and the ability to run/walk faster.

Does anyone know the ETA for the Move controller patch?
This is not the answer I wanted, no, needed to hear.
I've decided to assume you are a pathological liar instead.

Is it definitely getting one? Not sure how you'd move without a DS4.
Yes.
Eagle Flight for Flying and Ubi-Style city exploration, Bound for the prettiest and most awe inspiring graphical showcase.
I'd pick Bound.

I've been waiting for Holoball. Time to get a PS4 Pro and move my launch PS4 to the living room!
Harmonix VR, Easel mode. I've spent at least 10 hours in there. Make it your first purchase. It definitely has some usability issues and isnt very well optimized, but still the most amazing VR experience I had so far.

Don't worry Farsight Studios have commented on a PSVR version and they already have PSVR devkits, so fingers crossed
