so besides Rez which I guess doesn't show off the VR very well, what's the first thing i should load up next as an introduction? i have the demo disc and VR Worlds.. probably gonna buy thumper.
I'm charging up the move controllers now.

This is why there needs to be a VR Mario game. Seriously, it feels so damn good. They need to make a full game of that with the robots. Give him a blaster upgrade and make it a cross between Mario and Megaman.
Batman
London Heist! I just finished it and it's a great experience that shows off the move controllers well.
Fucking Thumper, holy shit.
I was drooling at one point.
Other than that, I do have the swimmy issue Giant Bomb had in their first stream. Did advanced calibration, no overhead lights, all that. No go. Whenever I look at my hands in Job Simulator or another game, always just swimming around a bit. Good thing is that I don't get motion sickness or anything so it doesn't really bother me, but if anyone's figured anything out that could help, I'm all ears.
Also, disappointed that the gold headset doesn't fit at all over this thing.

I just played the demo for Thumper earlier today and it was an amazing experience. If youre looking for an introduction, the shark attack demo from vr worlds is a good one. IT allows you to just look around and soak it all in.
I'd say try out the ocean and heist segments of VR Worlds. Is Batman on the demo disc? That would be a good first time kind of deal. Headmaster might be worth checking out as well.
After that I'd move into some of the other demos to start moving up the intensity scale to see where you are in terms of sensitivity. Probably with the Battlezone and RIGS demos; stuff with artificial locomotion but with more design considerations to mitigate some of the disruption. Valkyrie and Driveclub will be on the upper end of that scale after that.

Played about the first 20 minutes of RIGS and it fucked me up pretty good. My heads swimming right now. I didn't play far enough in to adjust any options besides head control though so maybe there is a setting that'll improve it for me. (played the Battlezone demo and felt fine)

The Kitchen demo was scary as shit, but I was super disappointed that's all it was. I wanted to get an idea of how RE7 would play in the sense of movement and all, but that's basically just a cutscene.
I still almost pissed myself, though. I don't even know if I wanna try Here They Lie after that.

is anyone else worried there going to break this big dumb thing when they adjust it? or that they're adjusting it wrong?
the build quality seems good, it's just that the adjustment process (how you push the button.. then pull back, i don't know where to pull from.. all while worrying about the cord) makes it feel more fragile than i think it is.

Anyone else have issues starting Playroom VR?
I'm literally stuck right after it has you position the controller in the setup, and unable to start the actual game. It wants you to swipe up on the touch pad, but nothing I do is working. My touch pad works and I've tried two different controllers.
Am I missing something here?

If you have VR Worlds then that, or maybe The Playroom (although that's largely multiplayer-focused, if that makes a difference - the platform mini-game is soloable, though). Depending on your VR experience, Ocean Descent in VR Worlds is probably the best starting point as it has no interaction, making it a great introduction to the VR feel.
Ok so I took the plunge and I'm a believer. It's really good. Two issues: it says my camera colors are inverted and I can't get the move controllers to work. It says who is using the move controllers and I pop up along with some random person but it seems that I can't get past this screen and keep coming back to it. It says to hit x to continue but pressing that on the move controller does nothing.
I know I've beat on this drum for a while, but I honestly think the entire horror genre needs a shift to really excel in VR. The kind of stuff that gets made for normal displays just has their stress levels magnified way too much. People think they will enjoy that shit but I promise you the fatigue will win out if they don't start thinking about doing horror design ground up for VR specifically. Like I don't think people are going to enjoy RE7 in VR (even if it didn't give anyone simsickness from the movement), and in particular I expect a large percentage of people who start it in VR will finish it on a television.

Found one at a local store in Redmond, Washington at the heart of the Microshaft core.
Do you understand how what I was saying about resolution being just one of many factors to determine the overall image quality?
Once headtracking movement and jumping unlocked I felt REALLY uneasy. I pushed through it though and I got used to it. Sadly it crashed for me and I took it as a sign to stop. I feel like this is really going to be the big game for PSVR. It just controls so smoothly with headtracking. It's exactly what I imagined a fast paced VR action game feeling like.

My order still being out for delivery by UPS when it's already 9:13PM here. Dammittttttt guess no VR for me tonight......
Absolutely. It really is better than I expected it to be. Took a while to find the sweet spot on where to wear the thing so that it was as clear as possible.

I have to admit, it was way more intense than I thought it was going to be. My heart was pumping like it hasn't in a long time. Shit straight up shock me.

I'm using my old one since it was already set up. It works fine. Left the camera that came with the bundle in the box.

Thumper is fucking awesome.

Pro isn't out until next month, so I don't think anyone knows the definitive answer to this.

Thumper is my top game so far... So fucking intense. I'm going to have to buy the full game once I'm done with the rest of the demos.

Depending on your plan for positioning the camera, the new camera may have better mounting options. Otherwise, they seem identical spec-wise.

Midnight, played a lot of tumble, about to go to bed but thought I'd give driveclub a quick go.
First few hills felt a bit weird but that soon went, along with 3 hours of my life. It might not look as amazing as the original game but it looks good enough, especially in motion. And not a single sign of any sickness, such a relief - I actually felt more iffy being pulled along slowly in that playroom platformer. Wanted to keep playing but have to be up in a couple of hours.

I thought it was, over 9000 people canceled preorders!
Wow there's protective plastic on the lenses and I didn't even notice.
Big image
Holy shit I've been playing with that on this whole time

Sorry if it's a dumb question, but does it matter whether you use the Move controllers right out of the box or is it better for the longevity of the battery to charge them fully first?
Playroom has crashed on me twice, both times seemingly from using the PS button to try and multitask while launching/loading. The swipe part has always worked for me, though.
