Has anyone tried Rush of Blood since they improved Move tracking?

Any impressions on Dark Net on the PS4? I remember being interested after seeing Jeff play it on Oculus (or Vive?) back when those units first released.

Just curious, what screen size did you use?
It's quite good actually. Very polished, Clean graphics, simple puzzle mechanics mixed with hi-level strategic elements. I've lost myself a good hour into it.
Controls are point and click via DS4 (not the head). Sad there is no Move support. Would have been much cooler to play one-handed.

FYI - only small and medium benefit from the advanced frame rate from the latest update.

Probably for the best. If you have a PS4 and you still enjoy traditional gaming at all, the last few months have been ludicrous, and we're getting a new Mass Effect and Persona game within weeks of each other. Madness.
The mechanism to provide a different view for TV than the headset is showing uses the resources normally assigned to video recording. The PlayRoom VR is another example, or Catlateral Damage, or Keep Talking. Once this feature is turned on, recording is turned off.
Dirt Rally has asynchronous multiplayer (even though I heard it sucks), but I don't know what's on TV when you just play alone. Still, that is the reason.
Looks like it.

Haven't tried it yet, but last I played (a month+ ago) it felt rock-solid, tracking-wise, with my Ps4Pro and Move Controllers

Yeah that was the one game that felt like it tracked really well for me. I did a lot of complaining about the tracking in other games during the launch months, but RoB was not one of the ones I think ever deserved complaints.

What's wrong with the price, seems standard for a normal game, are you checking the price with the aim controller too?

No it's not mandatory, and currently no I don't believe it is working with anything else.

It's $80 for game + controller. It's about what I expected.

Too bad Arkham VR isn't part of this week's Batman PSN sale( random comment)

Resident Evil 7 - the best single player experience right now
Robinson Journey - I enjoyed this one a great deal
REZ - a must have game with ton of replayability
Until Dawn - a lot of fun
Batman - short but very impressive
Wayward Sky - a great adventure game
These would be my picks as far as single player experiences go.

Super Hyper Cube is doing it for me.

As someone with PSVR who tends to game solo most of the time, I endorse all of these selections. The only one I'd add is Dirt Rally. It's tough as nails and does give some people the barfs, but if you have your VR legs and like racing, it's top notch; way better than Driveclub VR.
I can't see why the aim controller isn't a shell that I can put a move into. I didn't realise that the game was available on its own even so £75 is steep.
I'm making my own out of toilet rolls.

As someone who tried 3D SBS videos on Littlestar latest version, I'd say PSVR now has its killer app.
3D videos look glorious with tracking and all. Penguins never looked so real.
All you need is a USB key (FAT or exFAT format). Put the videos under a Littlstar (no 'e' ) folder on the key. Videos must be named whatever_180_sbs.mp4 if they're 180 Side-By-Side, which is the most common format.
The "_180_sbs" part is mandatory and case sensitive (sometimes it may be _360_sbs too for 360 degrees SBS videos, or _360_ou for over / under videos).
1080p videos run fine but you may get stuttering for 1440p and beyond videos. I'll try with an external hard drive, stuttering should be gone on higher resolutions.

Yeah I was bummed, but I got my $15 for spending $100 last month, so I'll probably just use that.

The Aim Controller has different tech inside than just simply putting to move controllers on a piece of plastic.
Either way you aren't forced to buy the Aim Controller, just buy the game then.

Got that newsletter and went directly to check on PSN... ;(
What is/are the alternative control schemes? I read it's just Aim or DS4. So there's no Move+DS4 option?
It definitely did, and I have plenty of video to show.
The new tracking videos look great, the z wobble and drift in RoB killed it for me.

I'm interested in this.
The aim controller, unlike the move controllers has nearly all the DS4 controls on it: Both thumbsticks, R1, R2, L1, L2.
The move controllers have no thumbsticks at all. Yeah, that seems like a pretty big oversight.
Control movement with stick on the controller in one hand and aim with the move controller?

I mean, everything I've heard it's one of the great VR experience so far. I think I've just trained my brain so much nowadays to wait for sales( not like $20 breaks the bank, but still). I feel as though we're due for a VR flash sale or something soon, a good way to burn the $50 in my PSN account. I probably should have acted on the last VR sale several weeks ago before I got my unit.
I get what you're saying ... hold the DS4 in your left hand, thumb on the thumbstick, fingers on the triggers.
It would work, but it feels awkward.

Yeah, something similar used to be an option for PS3 games where you didn't need to purchase the Move Navigation controller, and you could use a DS3 in its place.
It would make sense here as well.
However, I understand the Aim controller has more buttons available than the Move does in its similar position.

No free, no party
All Pornsites are starting to promote Littlstar btw
I wonder what's going to happen if the Littlestar creators patch this out?
That seems like it would be an incredibly stupid thing to do.

I really need to get Dirt Rally. I recently got Playseat Challenge and Thurstmaster T300 too. I enjoy Driveclub VR, but I admit that environments do not look all that great in that game.
The thurst is real! XD
They just patched it in. I don't think they didn't see it coming.
They won't. It is not a "hack" as the clickbaity title suggests; it is a publicly-announced & long-awaited feature.
I beg to differ. 1080p videos look awful due to pixelation. Many videos appear too close to the viewer, making watching uncomfortable. As a matter of fact, the most naturally-looking videos I tried were 360 degree over-under ones.
Now, when it comes to video stuttering - I did some tests using my USB 3.0 pendrive (read speed 146 MB/s). The stuttering depends on the combination of video resolution, framerate and bitrate. For instance, I was able to smoothly play 3840x2160 30fps and 3400x1700 60fps videos as long as their bitrate was below 10 Mbit/s. For 2880x1440 60fps and 2560x1440 60fps videos, the ideal bitrate was around 14 Mbit/s.
The stuttering might also depend on other H.264 encoding parameters (B-frames, CABAC, bufsize etc.). And of course, Littlstar doesn't support H.265 / HEVC codec nor any other video containers than MP4.
Generally, videos made for Oculus Rift don't work. Videos made for smartphones work (unless they are HEVC), but 1080p isn't enough. Videos made for GearVR are generally fine.
