lol, you hope, but I was walking around outside today looking at stuff like I had a headset on. It's like the next gen version of playing Goldeneye, then going down town to the shops while trying to dodge security cameras.

Oh yeah, Lucky's Tale is one of my favorite VR games still. The Adventure Time game is also pretty good, though very short.
I do think the VR Playroom demo shows a ton of promise, though, as it features some unique mechanics and ideas that you don't see in Lucky's Tale (bringing the controller itself into the mix).
I hope to see more games like this, though. 3D platformers are awesome in VR.
I tried the Rush of Blood demo and lasted about 15 seconds when these creepy things started reaching toward me and I was shooting wildly and apparently couldn't hit them. I freaked out and lifted up my headset from my face. The sense of their presence was really convincing.
The I'm gonna try it again later. I think I want to try some more of this stuff with people around. Even mildly scary things are horrifying in VR and can probably lead to some good reactions.

From what I saw, I think the Kitchen demo has lots of potential to be expanded for first time viewers (be it friends, family, girlfriend/boyfriend, etc..), while the knowledgeable PSVR owner is the curator of that perfect experience.
Basically, before placing a headset, one should handcuff a person (you can get those pretty cheaply for a dollar or two), just to get that feeling what the game is about and drive home the overall idea of being handcuffed. It builds anticipation and further enhances the experience. So you start the game and let it go on for the player, but when the girl stabs the player in the leg. The person outside PSVR should sync a hit with a pointy object on the leg. There will probably be some wtf moments, you apologize laugh, hug, promise never to do it again, that it was one time onlys, etc.. and continue on But when the hands come out from the back and touch the players face, the person outside also does the same. His/her hands should maybe also be watered a bit just to enhance the slimy experience.
Thats the real haptic VR. Cant wait to get one and replicate these and further ideas on people.
Oh this is good!!

Just got off the phone with Sony. Thankfully it is not the headset but a faulty cable. Cable #4 in fact, mines is fucked. That's the all important extension you need in order to not have to sit 3 inches in front of the tv.
Sony rep was very helpful. Asked how long it'll take to for me to receive my cable, was told 5-10 business days. UnFUCKINGaccetable. Asked if I could pay for overnight shipping. Was told nope.
So that's where I am at.

We need more Gaffer reviews and opinions of this game. Like now lol!
Man, anyone else getting major distortion when moving their head around? like objects, and environments are warping slightly as I move my head.
I've noticed this very slightly on my Vive, but it's bugging me the hell out on PSVR, maybe IPD related? Anything that can be done about it? I think it's even making me a bit sick while playing, recall playing BattleZoneVR at EGX last year, and I didn't feel ill at all, and just 5 minutes now and I was feeling I had to stop. (Or I'm just really, really hungry right now).

Loving this thing so far. Favs are superhypercube and Thumper (as expected) but I haven't played half the stuff I want to.
Was kinda hoping Driveclub VR would let me continue the progress from the main game...I guess it's more different than I realized. I totally failed the first race other than one faceoff. I'll go back to it later. Feeling of presense was still there, but realistic games definitely take more of a hit than surreal stuff (fortunately I prefer surreal/cartoon anyway).
Anyone know how to get past the "warts" part of the frog room in the Gnog demo?
Also I found one of my HDMI cables was faulty (not an included one), little staticy dots all over the image. So glad it was that, not the headset
Unplugging the USB from the PS4 seems to work but I'm not sure if that's required/ideal. Still learning the ins and outs.

Use the power button on the wire where you connect headphones.
Kitchen is on the demo disc.

VR Worlds.
I am deathly afraid of it. I found turning off the lights to make the room very dark and then bringing out the visor a bit eased my fears without breaking immersion.
I know! I don't really want to spend more money this week but shit if more people say it's good I know I'm gonna break down.
Included on the demo disc.
screen (resolution aside) and lenses are objectively better in PSVR, thanks to sub-pixels and solid lenses. No godrays, screen (resolution aside) is definitely clearer, etc. but as you can see in my post, Vive and OR have noticeably better resolutions.
the best of all tech right now would be the OR/Vive resolution in the PS VR gear.

Just got started with PSVR and SuperHyperCube. I was screaming with joy! You are IN there!
How do you contact Sony? I think my unit has a dead pixel.
Thanks, why the hell is that not part of the setup process?

It's not exactly the same game due to the lack of 360 coverage in PSVR, but you can find impressions in the Vive launch thread if you're really interested. You'd have to look pretty far back though as it has has been largely overshadowed by other newer games. Also lots of videos on Youtube.
I just want to know how it compares to London Heist and Until Dawn before buying it. For some reason it has a stronger appeal than Until Dawn to me

But the processing box stay white and I hear the vents
Does your headset turn off after few a few seconds? That's what happens with mine when connected through cable #4. I too called Playstation support (Germany) earlier and got the same info as you did.

I called the 1-800 number on the back of the packaging box.
It doesn't actually. It stays on just no feed to the headwet. And when I boot up a VR game just the white ring of lights. I'll just have to sit close to the TV and have my PS4 Camera closer in order to enjoy it.

Friend brought his over. I'd never tried VR anything before until now.
Holy fuck. It's a must have for me.

No interest but you've made 10 threads related to PSVR this month alone 🤔
Anyway, I'm itching to play with my headset. Less than two weeks to go before I can.
I really hope rigs doesn't make me sick. But if the demo does I'm returning my copy. I definitely want job simulator, super hyper cube, thumper and rez
The staticy pixels in black areas are normal though, I hope? Most notable at the beginning of the Until Dawn demo.

It was in the box, somewhere between the manuals and stuff.
The one mine came with was grey. But yeah every unit should come with a cleaning cloth.
This would happen to me when I first got my Vive. It was eerie, and cool at the same time. Unfortunately, I've lost that sensation.
I was reading through the PS VR safety manual, and Sony try to suggest that dead/stuck pixels are normal lol. They are probably sick of replacing those Vita's with stuck pixels. It's page 6/7.

This is me too! I have an S7 and gearVR. It's cool, but not having a controller and the SDE was a little too much for me to enjoy it.
Using PSVR for about 3 hours last night and was BLOWN AWAY! Even the Headliner soccer prison demo was funny and almost. The comedy is similar to Portal.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
Yea, the more I use it I do. Shorter play times and I'm fine.
Wow that's horrible. Gonna still call them but...wtf sony
Its dumb but its not a Sony specific thing. I've seen this text in various brands of laptops, monitors, tvs, etc.
One would assume a person would only make that many threads about something they're interested in
i definitely feel eye strain, even the next day. i played all of the content in the demo disk in three sittings from 4 to 11. you can turn down the brightness of the screen. i did. not sure how much that helps.

Try to bring the visor closer. You really need to tilt, nudge, swivel the headset BY THE HALO (not visor) until you find the right spot. Takes a few seconds but just adjust it slightly.
It's hard not to look with your eyes when turning your head. It won't go away completely but it will remain in your periphery.
I snug that shit on my eyeballs, lol. I need to bring mine one notch out otherwise I fog the lenses and my eyebrows get all slick.

Anyone tried any non porn 360/VR videos through the media player? I wanted to try it out just to see the stereoscopic effect from captured footage, but don't know where to look to find any samples.

Seriously, don't mess with people in VR, that's just ridiculous.
Littlestar VR cinema app and VRVideo on the store has some stuff.

Man it seems like they really have all the bases covered on launch, except one, where's my fantasy sword swinging dungeon crawl adventure?
check out the ps4 app store...there are a few downloadable short films/vr video related apps there.
reminds me of that one video of the guy doing rollercoaster vr and the he get pushed and freaks the hell out.
There is no stereoscopic effect in the PS4's media player right now. But those apps, Vrideo, Littlstar provide some free content.
I think Sony are waiting to see how lucrative selling VR video content is before they flip the switch on the media player.
