Just tested.
There's a text to speech now, people can comment on your livestream and you can hear what they are typing.
As for text appearing on VR, it's just a little textbox appearing in the middle bottom, will follow your head movement.

PSVR software update is 2.90, huh.
Maybe 3.0 will be something huge?

Hmmm. Wonder if it fixes the random blank screen problem. I never bothered to try the HDCP fix in the hope of a proper bug fix.

Weird that they're giving out extra beta codes this time. There looks to be plenty in the 5.00 thread, but if anyone here wants a spare UK beta code then shout.

Interesting that the new Video Output Information screen has a breakdown of the HDMI capabilities of the connected device:

The text under HDR reads: "the connected PSVR processor unit does not support HDR passthrough".

Does this imply that in the future there might be PSVR boxes that do? If not, why not say "PSVR does not support HDR passthrough" and leave it at that.

I'm reaching, I know, but the lack of HDR really bugs me...

Last beta firmware 4.5 came with PSVR firmware 2.40, which was upped to 2.50 on final release. I figure they will spread PSVR firmware 3.0 with final PS4 firmware 5.0. Possibly because they either couldn't or didn't want to introduce beta PSVR firmware.

We can only hope that we get a new PSVR box at some point. No HDR passthrough was a crap design choice and is a pain in the ass.

Give me a new Processor Unit with HDR passthrough and Moves with Analogue sticks built in, that's what I really want from PSVR now.

I second this!

On a sidenote: Today I got Farpoint + Aim and RE VII. Finished the latter back in January on XB1, but now my ass is ready to get handed to me in VR :D

For fellow GermanGAF: A bunch of Farpoint + Aim arrived today in Saturn markets around Munich.

Thanks GAF for all the awesome recommendations! So far I got PS VR Worlds, REVII, Until Dawn, Farpoint, Batman, Statik, Thumper, Polybius and Wayward. Stuff will keep me busy for a long time. I'm playing only PS VR lately and I love it so much!

Anybody sat on the fence about the Aim controller should swan dive off it into the "buy immediately" side.

Seriously, this is very cool tech and I felt immersed in a way that I've been dreaming about for about 30 years of gaming.

The only thing that should dissuade you is money... or potentially a fear of spiders :)

Is there a known best setup for PSVR and HDR? Got an OLED set and I've ran two HDMI cables I just swap out for now. Do any splitters get the job done? I know there were issues with a lot of splitters, at least I think.

I created a thread with various solutions to that problem. They aren't automatic, they still require user intervention, but they beat wearing out/damaging the HDMI port on your TV or breakout box.


Lol beaten.

On the post about Firmware 5.0 on PS Blog, they mention that virtual surround 5.0 surround sound for PSVR is one of the additions.

I've been hoping for this to come.

Edit- Oh, it's already covered in the thread!

First time ever issue. I ordered the Farpoint bundle when it restocked at Best Buy about 5 days ago and during the preparing stage of my order and it says it's delayed... possibly until 9/16. Yet I can still buy it on the website so it's not a out of stock issue.

I've got the v5 beta software installed, but when I go to update the PSVR software, it's telling me 2.5 is the most current?

Anyone else have this issue? I'm in EU in case that makes a difference.

Do you have the headset plugged in and switched on?
You should get a prompt to update when you switch the headset on.

Had me one of those classic VR blunders.

Bending all over the place, dodging a hail of bullets in Super Hot. I over balanced, and tried to brace myself on the bench I was using for cover.

Needless to say, I ended up on my ass.

September looks to be the craziest month already with 11 titles. And there are still games that might release that month too.


Also, Radial-G confirmed for September 12 release.
