Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
where do you get that this is a potential PSVR release?

I had to edit/find the quote.
Is this what we are doing now? Posting about Vive and Oculus games that aren't at all confirmed for PSVR. I mean the game isn't even out officially on those, who cares about this..

Battlezone for $42?
What say you? Trying to decide if I want to wait to play it on my Vive or Rift or if this is a good price.

Lol beaten!
Sorry, I thought it looked interesting, it was a very positive preview and there's no technical reason why it couldn't be a PSVR game. It's not like Budget Cuts or something beyond the realms of posibility...

It's pretty damn awesome, certainly a game you can sink time in to.

Understood. Might pull the trigger. I really like the look of it. Just not sure if I want to wait an undetermined amount of time to play it on the Vive/Rift instead.
Also, I really wish I could use my nice headphones with the PSVR. Being relegated to earbuds really is frustrating for me.

I was in a similar situation and from what I had seen felt the RRP was a little high. I managed to grab it for £25 on eBay but after playing I realised that I would have happily paid the price for the game. One of the more 'complete' games for me.
Also it got a Pro patch too if you have the machine.

I do have a Pro. Makes the decision even harder. $40 is around the most I've spent for any VR game ever and I have a boat load of them. Just sort of makes me feel more shy about it.
I'll probably play the demo a few more times then decide. I really did like what I saw in the demo.
Don't listen to him. I appreciated your post as the game looks extremely interesting.
Since the developer himself mentioned the possibility of a PSVR release, it was worth the mention you provided. Thanks again.

I want to buy this but I can't find it anywhere
Yeah, there's a reason they are going for up to like $800 on ebay right now for the bundles.

I went on Amazon to order some groceries, and then... well....
oops
edit: $800 you say?
dude.
Prime now is awesome for hard to find stuff, just got a hatchimal on there 2 days ago, had it delivered in 2 hours, and it's like the hottest toy this year....Simple, fast, below retail price, boom...

Congrats! Come back and tell us how your mind gets blown.
Just got PS VR today. Anyone have any tips for adjusting the headset to make it fit better? I can still kind of see out the bottom. I wish I could pull the scope in further. I've turned the knob and pushed the button on the scope and headset to get it as tight as possible but want to get it just a little bit tighter.

Hey! And you got the good bundle, nice. PSVR Worlds is worthwhile just for London Heist, IMO.
Whats the issue here? He clearly said "potential PSVR". People are interested in knowing what VR software we could maybe expect down the line.
Thanks, this helped a lot. I was following the initial set up advice which said to have it sit lower on the back of my head.
One of mine has a small gyro issue.
You can only really tell when playing Holoball, but there is a blue streak/dot/think in the middle of the racket because it is always slightly "moving"
If I shake the controller hard it goes away for five to ten seconds but then comes back.
I went to the store and figured i'd just get two brand new ones, but the pack is like 100 bucks???
Are you fucking kidding me? I got mine the day all the VR info was revealed used at gamestop for like 13 bucks each, I'm not gonna pay 100!!!

Any ideas on where my best bet picking one up would be? Chicago here.
I had this exact issue in holoball. Makes me wonder if it actually IS the controller.
$800 is what the bundle goes for at retail here. Not sure what stock is like now, but I was able to find one without too much trouble.

While I still love my PSVR I have to say I'm ready for the next version. Feel like the more I play, the field of view is actually getting smaller. Don't know how to explain it. Just feel like the scuba mask is more apparent than when I first played it in October.
Yea I kind of get what you are saying and agree. Also the handshake issues and jitter with move and drift is just...this thing needs a Pro upgrade soon.

It's $500 here, so it's a pretty decent mark up for those selling theirs during the christmas rush. I'm seeing a lot of $850ish now as well.
I wonder how much worse it'll get as some parents scramble to get these for their kids.
Random thoughts on VR: Loading is worse in VR than normal games because there's nothing worse than just staring at a black nothing screen pressed against your face for more than a few seconds. The best part of Eagle Flight is how there's almost no loading and everything transitions to each other so you're not taken out of it.
All the VR models are too soon imo. VR isn't consumer ready yet imo. PS VR feels like my Oculus DK2 which was neat as a tech thing, but wasn't consumer ready. Even playing Vive at my friends it's a little better but still generally the same.
I'd be surprised if PS VR upgrades this gen though. I picked up on primarily because I think there won't be an upgrade PS VR anytime soon, whereas with Vive/Oculus I can see a new one every year or two for a while so I'll wait and pick up v3.0 of Vive or something.

I just close my eyes whenever there's loading in VR. And then when it's done and I open them I am magically in a new environment!
Those of you wanting improved loading in VR games may want to consider getting a SSD as it is a nice improvement over stock drives (get one on sale, though).
I swapped in my 1TB SSD I had in a launch PS4 into my Pro model when it came out and the performance is definitely a nice upgrade.

Yeah, I did the same thing. Definitely nice in general for speeding things up a little, even for traditional games like FFXV, but the Pro/SSD combo for VR is pretty convenient.

I am tempted to pick this up, especially for RE7. I was just looking around and it seems I need the camera, but I have to buy one seperately which is like another $80+. WTF?
You would think they would include one with the headset if they were a requirement.

Sangetsu-II banned? Temporary I hope.
They do if you don't by the core pack that assumes you already have one. The camera and move controllers have been around awhile and I already owned them. Glad Sony provided two packages so I wasn't forced to get an extra camera and move controllers.

I feel you on that FOV. I got used to it. The GEAR VR has a better FOV so it was tough getting used to. That said, I can totally live with it, but i want an improved controller. with analog.
The bundle has a camera.
The standalone package doesn't have one because it would screw over people own already own the camera.

I haven't seen the bundle advertised anywhere here in Australia. I guess that's why it threw me as to it not coming with the camera.
Something like this could possibly work. I've never tried 3D printing myself, but am seriously thinking about it.

Have you just done some basic searches on Best Buy, Gamestop, Target, etc to check store stock in various locations and burbs?
Probably your best bet.

I've never felt legit scared during any horror game, but damn.... I just played 15 minutes of the RE7 demo, and it definitely changes things. I felt like I was talking around that fucked up house.
played a few games of Rocket League in theater mode.
gonna play Rez this weekend.
it's a bit more pixel-y blurrier than ithought it would be. and my giant head has me having to tighten the headset almost to the point of uncomfortability. but whatever. it's cool
[edit: got a slim, not a pro btw]

Load screens in VR are awful. At least give us a 3d model or even 2d art to look at while we wait! I try to make the best of it and focus on the moment/my breathing (like meditating) but it's a poor substitute for not being stuck in what feels like a virtual prison.
Huh, thats super interesting. Maybe its the game. Can anyone else weigh in?
Star wars you can turn that off and should. It's some lame comfort setting, something about high gravity turns or such.
Unfortunately, no option still in Eagles Flight to turn it off...
It's weird I definitely noticed this in Rigs, and Eagle Flight, but never noticed it in Star Wars. Even though when some one said it was a thing, I went into the options and turned it off anyways.
As for its use, its there because basically, fast moving imagery in the periphery of your vision are what cause the most eye strain, especially when that movement is caused by rotational controller input as opposed to just your normal head movement.
I played Deadhalls on Gear, and it was super painful when youd turn with a controller in a tight space with walls close to your character. In RE7 its not such a big deal since most of the periphery is already dark, since most of the illumination comes from your flashlight. Its a perfect fit for VR in that regard.

I hear ya, it completely ruined Eagle Flight for me.
This depends largely on the type of tripod you have, but what I've done is mount the camera stand to the top of the tripod using zip ties. I strap the lower end of the PS camera stand so that the top can still be pivoted up and down freely. The ties are cheap and easily disposable, so I can remove the camera to transport the entire setup easily over long distances (I flew my PSVR to a friend's house 2500 miles away last month for a weekend gaming session) and set it up again super easily.
Some tripods have the ability to pivot on all axis regardless of how the camera is mounted but this isn't the case with mine. The ability to raise and lower the camera using the tripod and independently adjust the angle of the camera based on its height has been the key to keeping my tracking rock solid.

I bought this one, its been a game changer for my tracking. I can play a sitting or standing game and easily change the height. I can also easily adjust the angle because of a dyi mounting to it.
I unscrewed and removed the whole clip at the top and put the thread through the slot of the new stand that comes with the new camera and screwed the plastic bolt over the threads keeping it locked in, now I can move the stand up and down but also angle it up or down easily.
Now if only I could find a camera extension cable for a reasonable price shipped to the Yukon.
