No you can't it's recognised by the PS4 as an Aim controller.
Picked up a couple of games in the sale.
Surgeon Simulator - great fun and Moves make it much easier than with m/kb or game pad. I avoided this due to the issues with it at launch but it plays pretty well now and would recommended it. Had trouble getting the scissors to cut off masks, worked once seemingly by random but had to give up on the ambulance - teeth level, can anyone tell me the correct cutting technique? Had an issue a couple of times where the game lost tracking of one of the Move controllers and wouldn't pick it back up again, had to restart the game
Mervils - this has some charm but the voice acting and recording demotes it from indie to homemade. You can hear the acoustics of the room they recorded in so it feels very jarring. Still fun though, and happy buying it at the current price.

So supposedly Radial-G, Cranga! and Paranormal Activity VR are all coming before Summer ends, more PSVR games for ya! lol
Nice that SS has been fixed! I loved to play it on my laptop but it was frustrating with the mouse controls... still fun but damn!
When I heard of the PSVR version I wanted it, now it's the time to buy!
Last time I asked Giant Cop dev, they said it's coming in summer, initially planned for early summer.

Holy crap!It's such a great game, yes it's a little hazy and I wish it could have been worked on or improved more on the Pro, but I love it. Here's a close race between myself and DHC showing both our viewpoints.

Came 3rd but look at the times
Also, now I know who the "AbandonedTrolley" I kept seeing ghosts of on the tracks was. I think I beat a few of your scores.

Thanks. Not sure which one I should get then? I guess Move is compatible with many more games so that is the better one?
I would say more than half of the game, or majority of the game uses Move/enhanced with Move. Move is pretty much mandatory.
As for Aim, it has around 10 games announced/released at this point. If you want the best experience, you will eventually need this. But I would prioritize Move.

Nice one! Bought, should be here by Saturday!
Thanks a lot, was getting a bit frustrated trying to get hold of one. Bought Brookhaven a long time ago, so will have that as well as Farpoint. Did they fix the excessive darkness in Brookhaven?
Yes! It's actually quite fun now with the glowing sight being implemented and brighter flashlight.

Thanks. I'll go with the Move for now then.

yep, played it yesterday, its a good game now.

Isn't the entire point of surgeon simulator that the controls are imprecise?
It's like saying "I love the new QWOP patch that adds directional game pad support! So much easier to control!"
It is? I had fun even with imprecise controls, but I found them to be too much... maybe I should have bought a better mouse? lol
I love the idea to have better controls with the move, well I hope so, you are scaring me...
Maybe my wording was bad-
Surgeon Simulator was designed around the idea that the controls are not precise and difficult to use. It's the main point of the game, similar to Octodad and QWOP. The fact that they made them precise on PSVR using the moves is pretty weird.
$40...
My next VR games confirmed in 2017 are most likely: Infinite Minigolf, Theseus (I have a feeling this will cost $50 or $40 too), Tiny Trax, Doom VFR and Skyrim VR.
Make sure you get two!

It wouldn't be announced if its not coming out in the next 6 months or so, as per Bethesda's track-record. Skyrim Remaste on PS4 / Pro also drops below 30fps, but that has a VR version coming out.
Might be at PSX when they have the approaches to VR locomotion (which they have been figuring out for Skyrim) and have something closer to a launch date / window that doesn't take away from Skyrim VR sales.
Haha, totally... https://youtu.be/D8eew9ZnXp4?t=481 (Batman)
Skyrim is a last gen game at heart and by all indications it took a sizable graphics hit.
My wife must think I'm crazy when she sees me dancing in front of Superhot to make move the time, or making Travolta moves as Spiderman ...

I suspect that my Kingston datatraveler does not fit to the small ps4pro usb gap...
Ι tried another fat32 drive that fits better and ps4 recognize it.

Cool, do you have a USB extension cable? I need one too for my bulky USB stick when connecting to a PS4.

No I haven't, and tbh I never thought it as a solution.
Thanks
Anyway, we have to choose carefully USB sticks for ps4.

Is there a way to force-reset the view of PSVR for certain games?
From 12 full games I only experiences this so far with Until Dawn and Tumble: While playing for a short while the game would turn almost 90° so that I basically have to sit sideways to the camera to fit what the perspective of the game (which obviously messes up Move tracking).
Holding the Start button resets something but not the actual view (neither does the ingame calibration). When I go the PS4 menu and reset the view it fits correctly, i.e. I'm facing the camera. Switch back into game, still shifted view.
Also, Job Simulator wanted me to stand slightly different to what I prefer (too close to a wall here) but it would stick to that no matter what, is the game defaulting to the center of the camera?
Both SS and Superhot allow me to reset my position to whatever I want when I hold down the Start button.

Not really, QWOP is a far cry from SS.

Isn't that the day before release?
Be interesting to see the price point. I'm betting it's £30, but could be higher than that.
Just been playing some more Polybius, that's a pretty intense game. Might chill out with some Statik in a bit. Think I'm about two thirds of the way through. Still haven't finished RE7, or even booted it up since switching to Pro, so might fire that up, too.
Kids are doing rehearsals tonight and shows on Friday and Saturday. Wife is doing backstage stuff so I'm left to my own devices (literally).
Let the games begin!
Yea, at least it's confirmed we will be getting press coverage and reviews.

Signed up for the firmware v5 beta.
Wonder if there will be any improvements or fixes for PSVR. Maybe they will resolve the video/audio dropouts. Maybe we get a proper 3d UI...
Last big update had a PSVR box update too. Guess we'll find out in August.

Would love an option to read chat while streaming PSVR games. Like a button to bring up the chatbox or something.

Sounds like drift. That is due to starting the system whilst moving the headset. Press the on button of the headset before picking it whilst it is on a flat surface will result in that never happening. If the problem still persists I have no idea.

How have Race the Sun impressions been around here?
It's $2 right now.

Your POV is trailing behind ship but lower than non-VR camera. I thought it worked well enough and felt no sickness. I owned game previously from PS+ and was pleasantly surprised to get a free update. If you are interested in a zen endless runner type with unlockables than $2 is worth it.

Dipped into the sale today, picked up Statik, Psychonauts and Polybius.
Will be picking up a few more games over the next few weeks before the sale ends. So many good VR games out now, it's great to see VR growing even more.

I've had that happen two or three times. First time was mid-game in Dirt Rally where it was working perfectly fine with no drift for half a race and then all of a sudden the view started rotating horizontally. It stopped for a short while then continued, to the point where it was almost 180 degrees so that facing the camera I was looking out the back of the car. The normal reset did not fix it.
Horizontal rotation drift is generally tricky - there is no gravity to get a constant bearing. Inaccuracy of the gyroscopes means that the rotation can drift but this can be fixed with either a compass or an external fixed tracking device that can detect the orientation - such as the PS4 camera and headset which has multiple light sources around the headset.
So I'm surprised that we have this issue and have to reset the view at all (fair enough if it is once when turning on PS VR to centre the default play position). The camera can provide absolute positioning so it should be able to eliminate all drift as it is capable of determining the overall position and orientation of the headset.
I've had similar issues with the Move controllers, where horizontal drift is not fixed when using the view reset. The camera can't fix that but the easy fix is for the horizontal rotation to be reset when resetting the view - ie. assume the player is pointing them forward. Alternatively lay them on a flat surface so that rotation can be reset when picked up.
Had it for the better part of a year but I played through The London Heist for the first time today. Blowing 'smoke' in real life (detected by microphone) is a cool gimmick.
Such a weird decision to have a violent game full of F bombs as part of the closest party-game-collection released hehe. Well made.
PSVR occlusion problem is a reality though. Experience it in Farpoint and most pointer games occasionally. Resident Evil 7 and other 'HMD-only' games don't have that challenge.

If you've ever wanted to experience being in a mech Archangel is for you. On rails but production quality is high and using Move controllers to mimic mech arm movements are great.

heh, i am not even a big Batman fan but i still had that same feeling.
i mean, i know it's not the greatest game ever... but while playing, man, it was just something else.
