PlayStation VR Thread 2: Reloaded

I tried Windlands with move controllers. Lots of options on how to control, I felt most comfortable with the default setting (left move button to move forward, right move button to jump). But it's hard to switch when you played it for hours with a regular controller. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an option to adjust turning speed.

Still a great move by the devs to implement this.

Patch is out? Will try it tonight if I'm not too sleepy.

Funny thing is, when Todd Howard was on that Scorpio video talking about VR at E3 2016, I thought Bethesda would be making VR games for PC and Scorpio (XB1X) only. Crazy that two of the three announced VR games from Bethesda are coming to PSVR (obviously they are not going on Oculus any time soon). I knew Fallout 4 on PSVR was a pipedream, but didn't expect Doom or Skyrim to be coming.

Just a heads up for people like me that are on the fence for Drive Club VR, my local Target had it in the clearance bin for $20. I decided to give it a go for that price.

why does the PS Move controller only charge when connected to the PS4? it won't charge using a standard USB charger

I don't know, but it doesn't just charge from console. It also charges from my PC's USB ports.
But I use the Power-A PSVR stand for all of my controller charging now.

So... Mortal Blitz. Looks nice, plays pretty well, just one problem. Because you have to duck and hide behind cover and it's rarely like right there like the desk in The London Heist, you can't play it very well when seated, not unless there's some nuance about the controls I don't understand.

I got through the first/opening mission because you're in a fairly enclosed space without much space to move about, but the second mission, the environments open up some and then it becomes critical to use cover effectively. I got smoked in about 30 seconds because I couldn't. :(

Might have to shelve it until I have a space with more room to play.

does it need more room like Job Simulator?
 
I give up, can't find farpoint bundle in the US other than scalper prices at eBay. How am I supposed to buy the standalone game without the freaking accessory for sale? This is just BS

Are you looking for just the game? There is a mom & pop shop near my work that had a copy of the game itself the other day. They charge a few bucks less than regular retail for most games, so I think it's something like $56.95 instead of $59.99. Do you want me to snag it and you can PayPal me for it?

I feel like you need to play it standing so you're able to duck and hide. It simply doesn't work when you're sitting.

I think he is looking for the controller which is in high demand right now

I'd say it would be in much higher demand when Arizona Sunshine comes out

The game itself is easy to find, but how can you play the game without the accessory if the bundle has sold out and they don't sell the accessory by itself ? Just stupid

You have to suck them. One of the button does that.

Is "Microcity" their game?

Giant Cop is the game, check out the trailer, it looks wonderful!


Also in other news, Brookhaven Aim patch is not coming today again, thanks sony :(
And the $300 deal sold out, 1130 sold wow.

Buckle up, stupid rumor time.

http://comicbook.com/gaming/2017/06...rumours-vr-support-and-first-person-mode-com/
Rumors about an upgraded re-release of Rockstar's detective adventure LA Noire are once again spreading. We first heard that a remastered version of the game might be in development back in January when a noted Rockstar insider. We have heard from three separate sources related to Rockstar that VR features have been prototyped for the Playstation release of the game, indicating that a VR mode might well be on its way.

More stupid rumor news. This seems to be gaining some legs now. Although, somehow I felt that they are just talking about Aim controller.
chatting with the developer while waiting for my go, it was mentioned that they were working to bring it to PSVR, as well as Aim support. Many of the weapons in the game are designed for dual wielding though, and Seeking Dawn is a full locomotion. Obviously, Sony doesn't have any Move controllers that support this kind of gameplay. Yet. When I began to ask how they were planning to solve that problem — if they were just going to rely on the DualShock or convert everything to Aim — they mentioned trying to support an ”upcoming peripheral" and then quickly became quiet when I pressed for more information.

Not sure if I remember correctly, but wasn't there a version with a semi transparent PSVR on Nates face of the following gif? Or maybe the Jack Nicholson one?

Upgraded my pa4 to pro (not for reasons of VR) and tried a game today I forget the name the one where you sit in a chair with your hands locked by a puzzle

Anyway I was surprised to see the mild tracking issues I had with PS4 are gone. That thing where it would lose controller orientation? - janky controller syndrome - or sometimes the world would move slightly.

Everything else was same: same room, same controllers same camera same tv.

I wonder why the old PS4 was losing tracking but not pro. Is there any increase in camera sampling associated with pro? I thought it was just better visuals.

PS4 Pro comes with a redesigned controller that has an additional tracking light on the touchpad.

It is just a little transparent window in the touchpad to easier see the one light from top view. It has no effect on tracking.

Also I really think reports of tracking differences between PS4 Pro and Amateur are based on placebo effect or other environmental changes.

Dayum! Who'da thought Bethesda would be one of the ones with (arguably) the best VR support?

Doom
Fallout 4
Skyrim

And they're bringing Skyrim to Switch (not VR, I know, but a sign that they're open to new platforms and experiments).

The cynical view would be that they're just milking existing games, I guess - as opposed to Ubi doing smaller but original VR games. I'm still pleasantly surprised, though. We need more big devs and pubs pushing VR and especially long-form content like this.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not knocking all the great indies putting in work, but it's the higher profile stuff that will continue sell hardware, and I think that's what we need to make VR a longer term proposition.

And now I just realised how much I want Dishonored in VR. Imagine exploring Dunwall...

Ok so after playing RE7 with a friend on his VR and loving it I finally caved and bought a PSVR bundle with the camera and Worlds from a retailer that had a no VAT day this saturday, for 330€....

Looking for some hidden gems out there (not interested on MP) Have to say I got really sick on the X-Wing experience, a bit queasy with RE but that git better fast, same with Farpoint. I played the Rez demo and also hot kinda sick at the end..

I really wanna but Farpoint+ Aim controller but totally out of stock atm over here (Spain)...any info on that?

Also, how have the sales been? Not many things discounted atm.

Atm planning on getting Batman and Rush of Blood.

Just going to suggest something, thats usually missing from recommendations: Harmonix VR Easel mode if you have a knack for creativity. Try the demo on the download demo disc thing.

For sales: Tethered is finally on a great sale, that you might want to snatch up.
