Its a new game and disappointingly doesn't have multiplayer.

I have never actually bothered with the multiplayer in these games. I just prefer relaxing and playing a few rounds of golf solo.

I was hoping to play a round with friends, we like to play flat golf games sometimes. I actually convinced a friend to buy a PSVR due to this coming out before I found it it had no multiplayer.

Edit: I had hoped it would be an addon to the existing game. Oh well.

I've literally been playing the demo for Everybody's Golf VR, pretty much all day. As luck would have it, in social media land this morning, I learned that Everybody's Golf VR got a demo today... I had no idea this was coming.
After some finagling to find it on the Canadian Playstation store, I found a link in a PSVR social media group I'm in to the US Playstation Store with a link to the demo. I logged in with my phone which took me back to Playstation Canada and a link to the demo to download it to my PS4.
I was a little worried about the tracking on the PS Move controller and it turned out this game was above my expectations in several ways after the demo.
The move controller turned out to be highly accurate (again beyond my expectations) allowing you to turn your club face to correct your hooks or slices. Like real golf you don't need to crush it to drive the ball you'll hit 100% power easy enough in-game, but the mechanics of a real swing are very helpful when driving the ball and putting it where you want it to go accurately.
For those of you who golf you'll apply the fundamentals from your game easy enough. For those who don't golf, remember to keep your feet apart the distance of your shoulders and most importantly keep your knees bent when you swing. When you transfer weight from one foot to another as you follow through on your swing, your knees should still be bent and connect as you hit the ball... but keep them bent, turn your head to look at the ball don't lift up with your swing.
Even I make the mistake of rising from a knees bent position to all the way up as I strike the ball, you'll send your ball veering to the left or right this way.
I guess I should mention the advice I'm posting here does come from a reliable source, my uncle who was the regional director of the GVO and now trains young people to golf in his retirement. He's hung out with the likes of Tiger Woods, Mike Weir and John Daly. Not to say I'm even respectable on any golf course as I never put in the time it takes to develop a real game but the core mechanics he gave me to play golf have never made me the worst out of the friends I'll recreationally go golfing with.
I've gotten abit side tracked here but my point being is I've been able to drive the ball 225-230 yards right down the middle of the driving range with those core golf-swing mechanics and thats why I'm so impressed with the controls in this game because it all works like real life.
Unfortunately the demo is just the driving range, although theres an option to play the course, you can't actually switch from a practice swing to the real shot without triggering a pop up to go back to the main menu. Although each time I've tried it a different hole has populated giving you just a taste of what we'll see when the full game launches May 21st. Visually the different holes I've seen look beautiful, from water fountains to rolling greens, if I'm being objective about this whole game the trees are abit cookie cutter, the ball can disappear as you drive it onto the fairway and be abit hard to see due to resolution, hopefully theres a chase camera mode in the full game. Overall the presentation is tranquil, the feel of a golf course and driving range are beautiful and makes me think about what we all hoped Wii Sports Golf would be like in our imaginations... this is ACTUALLY it!
Aside from the Driving Range both a lower and upper level to drive from, the demo also offers a Putting Green, choose different cups to putt too and the Approach mode where you're practicing chipping from various angles, this is a really generous demo despite not being able to play a single hole on the course (which is kind of a tease) but even still I had a blast all day with the demo.
I feel like if the elderly ever realized what VR is, how to set it up and how to play, this game would be be in every retirement village all day everyday... and don't forget the Japanese female staff/ caddies haha. This is a must buy for any PSVR owner and I am straight hooked on this, I can't wait to play a regular course.

No. I think the girl who played before Yoshida did too.Was that first person trying to look up the video game character's skirt?
Edit: I was wrong, girl was second.

Portugal, it was a temporary promotion. Stores were actually selling the bundle for 229€.
250 was Sony MSRP.

Goddamn.
If that deal came to the UK my wallet would be A LOT lighter (I would also buy the pro)
I'm surprised Sony still haven't released a mega bundle of Pro, VR, camera, Move + games

I had to stop myself from hitting the "place order" button several times!
I'm saving the money for PS5 + psvr2. The BC with ps4 (and psvr) means I won't miss out on anything.

I wish... yesterday was 2010 and today is already 2019. The older you get the quicker time moves
I'm OK with it, I plan to get ps5 on release, then xbox2 when the price drops 100€ unofficially (3-4 months after release because nobody cares for xbox here in Portugal) , and if psvr2 only releases 6 months after that, it gives me time to save money slowly for it.

My ps4 pro won't load discs half the time unless I tap on it several times. Was gonna replace it with the limited edition but it sold out too quick. Was gonna swap out for the version 2 psvr also but just gonna wait for the ps5....should have some disposable cash saved up by then.

Blood & Truth’s Development Is On A Scale VR Hasn’t Yet Seen

I had NO IDEA this game is releasing in one week!!!
Blood & Truth's Development Is On A Scale VR Hasn't Yet Seen
Forgive the pretension, but I’ve been on a lot of VR studio tours. I’d say on average most have lasted around five minutes, consisting of one large open-plan floor in which developers bob their heads up from their monitors and give a quick wave upon hearing their name.

If you like tower defense games, Korix is on sale for $2. It also runs at native 120fps, so if you're curious to see how amazingly fluid that looks in the headset, it might be worth $2 just to see that.
Statik is also $6 again, so I grabbed it this time.
Korix
Korix places you deep in space, fighting for your race’s survival after your home world is destroyed. With nothing left to lose, you are put in the role of commander, with the sole mission of taking the fight back to the enemy. Build up your defences, capture the resources and build your own...

I heard it sucks, but in real life it sucked too other than a few perks.

I am gonna wait for feedback before I bite, I still need to get everybody's golf.
I did get no man's sky while on sale to prepare for the summer update. I suggest all of you that haven't to do the same, it's $20 something digitally.

I'll post some thoughts on here at some point tomorrow. I've tried not to see much feedback on it til I get into it. I also had picked up No Man's Sky a couple weeks back, I've heard its better to do the tutorial type stuff before the VR update lands but I haven't gotten around to it yet myself either, its on a short list.

Days of play is during E3 next month. They're gonna discount PSVR bundles. I'd rather wait and grab one with the Moves and a couple of games. Not to mention it will be new.

It had been on sale this past week on the PS store for $24 if I'm not mistaken.

The new game blood and truth seems to be reviewing good.
Wonko_C

Got "free" $20 PSN credit. It will make the purchase of a new PSVR game a lot easier. What's going to be not easy is which one to pick: Blood & Truth is the obvious new hotness, Everybody's Golf VR looks like it has more lasting appeal, though. Finally I got an itch to play Borderlands 2 VR, even though I am not a Borderlands fan.
Any suggestions on which to get first?

Just seen it. I ended up buying Transference for like $8 and The Invisible Hours for $12. I need a few shorter VR games to play between me trying to watch all 8 seasons of Game of Thrones and also trying to beat RDR2.
