I guess never? They don't even have updated their media player for SBS 360 content even though there were apps that already did that (with one of them being down unfortunately...VRideo I miss you ;_
I hope it's soon. It's insane you need a competing VR device to view VR videos...

ha, you are in for a real treat with Rush of Blood.
Still my favorite PSVR game.

Ugh, was planning on buying a PSVR on Friday but it looks like stock is really limited. I didn't realize because at my Target there has always been one, but I guess it's sold out.
Meh.
Meh.
I suspect that it's probably because Sony is trying to fight the porn train. They already have a few apps like Within that can view 360 content, and VRrideo could stream 3D/360 videos before they shut down, so it's definitely not a hardware problem.

Or its just Sony being Sony. Just look at all the features that were standard on PS3 that took ages to arrive on PS4. PSVR is a lot to pay for a porn viewer when people can just buy a headset to slip their phone in and get the exact same experience.
Was really thinking we would have a YouTube update at least.

Any update on sales? Or where the F are the wands? I'm scared there's not many vr games planned after star trek :/
I'm pretty sure this is held up by some copy protection thing with the movie companies, I wouldn't hold your breath

Really? I was in Best Buy yesterday and I saw about 8 of them just sitting there. This is in Atlanta metro btw.

I don't get that argument, there are porn movies on blu-ray disc and PS3 could read them since day 1. Mp4 files can also be porn, PS3 and PS4 can read them. 360 SBS can be porn, but don't have to be and we can't watch them. PSVR is not really a kids toy at 400+ bucks anyway, so let us use it to the full potential, thanks Sony!!1
Probably just Sony being Sony and taking their sweet ass time to deliver some new feature that should have been there day 1...

That's curious. Why would 3D titles be any different than 2D titles from a copy protection perspective?
This looks dope! Games like I expect you to die and this are what I want most in VR.
Thats a big miss if true. I have ZERO reason to own 3D movies in any form, but I love them and would def invest if I could watch them in PSVR.
I remember reading it somewhere (some quick googling doesn't lead to anything, unfortunately), and it made sense to me: Film Studios are really backwards in terms fo copy-protection, and I know the PSVR has issues with HDCP, which is why you can't have HDR pass-through in the breakout box.

Obduction that Myst like game looks similarly nice.

Soon as there stops being porn available. We are this close.
Edit - just being facetious, I have no idea what the answer is, but I'm quite sad about it.
Yeah I'm looking forward to that too and there's a few others like it as well.

expecting things of other people leads to disappointment
if people in this community say it's good I will hopefully be playing it tomorrow too!

Extremely helpful! To be honest, I've kind of been feeling like my decision to get the Pro over the Slim may have been a mistake - but hopefully exploring some of these titles (and getting PSVR will change my mind).
Still a darn shame about The Last of Us.
Edit: Meant to post this in another thread, but still somewhat relevant. I hope I can find PSVR in stock before I go home for Christmas. I think my family will get a kick out of it.
I also wonder how easy it is to fall asleep while playing something like Perfect. I've fallen asleep lying down with Google Cardboard on my face before...

Just realized Destructoid reviewed the occulus rift version a few weeks ago and not the PS4 one. Hopefully it is a good port.
Wired's review is the PC version as well.

There's something about Rush of Blood that makes it just plain fun. Maybe it's the action element. And the horror is so colorful.
But Here They Lie, RE7, P.T. etc in VR are just not fun to me. Terrifying and worth experiencing, but not fun.
I dunno, I'm eager to get back into it, I'm actually really psyched I felt the need to take off the headset. Gunna confront that part again later on and try and keep my cool.

I was playing PT the other day in VR, and Lisa got me within 2 minutes. I didn't know it was possible. It scared the SHIT out of me and I like almost cried lol
The difference is the prodding that Rush of Blood gives you. RE7 makes you push forward yourself, UD ROB throws you down the track whether you're ready or not.
Same reason Dead Space: Extraction was not as scary as Dead Space 1.

Thanks! I'll get someone to pick one up. Would you happen to know the store #? I'll call and see if they're still there.

Mckmaster uses MasterCard to buy Slave drives
I don't get it.
'Perfect' looks neat, wonder what we call that genre... 'standing simulator' ?
Supposedly you can use move controllers to move around and interact with bits and bobs which isn't really explained in the video, But I think they missed a trick by not having any sort of multiplayer, would be nice just to hang out in pretty locations with friends and family from afar as there isn't really any other 'social only' experiences on the PSVR store right now.

Don't worry we got tons of games coming out in 2017, depends on what you want honestly.

Also, can't believe this thread is about to pass the HTC Vive Launch thread in only two months. It's pretty amazing actually.
Slightly unrelated anecdote, but whenever I play Werewolves 90% of people are on PSVR, so I think the estimation that it doubled the install base of the existing PC hardware is well under.
Wish we had some proper sales figures
Escapeware.
If you've ever found yourself in a situation where you wish you could just be somewhere else for a little while, this lets you do it without actually having to go anywhere. The fact that it actually uses Spotify makes it more attractive in that regard than the Harmonix visualizer.
I actually like these weird little application of VR for non-gaming purposes, so I'll probably buy this tomorrow.

Watched some video, it looks pretty basic, but I grew up with games like Eye of the Beholder: do you think it's worth it for a fan of grid-based dungeon crawling?

I'm so eager to dive back into VR. I'm picking up a PS4 Pro tonight, probably, and get my PSVR in less than two weeks. I got to finally try one out yesterday. The headset was lovely. Very comparable in comfort to the Rift, which I previously owned (both are much more comfortable than the Vive). The optics were very good, and coming from the rift I'm used to light leak around the bottom.
The screen itself was what I hoped, namely, surprisingly comparable to what the Vive and the Rift have. Obviously the motion controls are a step down, but they're still better than what I personally had before (a razer hydra) even if I've had a good amount of time with the Vive controllers.
Software support looks good coming from the Rift. Aside from Audioshield (which I doubt we'll see because of where it gets it's music from) there isn't really much missing from the line up out of the games I've been missing since I sold my Rift.
I feel very good about stepping out of that ecosystem into this one, and Resident Evil has always been my favorite franchise, so I feel pretty blessed that it's the first truly AAA full fat VR title and is only about a month away.
All your Werewolves impressions might get me to resubscribe to PSN, but we shall see.
I've got Arkham VR, Rush of Blood, VR Worlds, and Trackmania to play with day one, along with all the demo stuff. I'll probably pick up a couple of other titles based on the demos. I always liked tumble, so maybe I'll get that.
Arizona Sunshine I just played on PC yesterday too, and that was a good time. Serious Sam VR also. Sam VR I will definitely be picking up, as I've always loved that series, and it worked extremely well, probably the best wave based VR shooter I've tried. It helps of course that I know all the enemies and weapons already.
PSVR looks to have the software. The headset is great, and at least with PS4 Pro, the IQ is more than acceptable for me. Happy days ahead.
