Got any tips for the console maintaining the play area? My system keeps kicking me out requesting to re-scan while I play and it's starting to piss me off.

Is this because I'm facing a big white wall? I also can't seem to scan the ceiling as I have lamps there that need to be on for it all to work... Happens quite often when there is a lot of body movement in standing mode

You can increase the range of the "virtual wall" in the settings. Another things is to draw the play area larger than it needs to be in front AND behind you, go through furniture or whatever.

Are there any stories of VR causing eye damage? Last week, I played my PSVR2 for like 6 hours non stop. That night while I was laying in bed, suddenly the vision in my right eye cut off for a few minutes. Ever since, the vision in it has been kind of blurry sometimes and there is a "fullness" feeling in it. It feels like it's overworking.

Are you new to VR? If so, I would play in smaller bursts to get used to it. I have never had that happen though.

Thinking of getting Pavlov but i would only play offline, is it worth it?

Also light brigade, is it more than 3-5 hours worth of content?

Really depends. There's not really single-player content as such. But experiencing all the mechanics even fighting against bots is kind of amazing. The bots are dumb as f*** and the zombie mode is super hard though LOL. So I wouldn't really recommend it as a single player 'game', but if you want to be just a tourist and see some hardcore chains-off VR gameplay then maybe worth it.

It goes way cheaper on PC so maybe wait for a sale?

Would love to buy one but im afraid i will get motion sickness from it , therefore im not buying it.

Just start off slow.

Moss 1 or something static.

My wife went balls deep into GT7 and felt quite sick. She was fine with Moss.

I've had a few VR headsets just fast turning makes me feel awkward. Buy some game can be configured to slow turn. I'm not keen on the snapping or what ever its called.

The Light Brigade is a rogue lite so its kind of hard to say, but apparently you get at the very least 10+ hours of content if you just want to finish the game (ie beat the last boss for the first time).

But if you want to unlock and see everything the game has to offer, you have to spend way, way more time

I've had a VR/3d effect where things appear as though theyre in a VR environment. Like my phone would appear to have more depth than usual. But iver never played that long. 30-45 min is like my max

Been watching reviews and psvr2 looks like an awesome piece of tech. Have tried Quest in the past and love VR experiences, there’s nothing like it.

If they were somehow able to make it a bit more lightweight / wireless and PC compatible would be ideal but I’ll probably be picking one up down the road, even if just for GT7 alone.

I did a few missions with bots on the first level of difficulty and they work well enough. Not the smartest but it can work. For other difficulty levels, I cant tell but I think it can be OK for the second one. Not sure about the 3 other difficulty levels tho.
I'm pretty sure that you can even solo the full game, but it would require a lot of skill. I've seen a video of a guy playing on Quest 2 destroying one of the hardest levels on top difficulty. But it's not gonna be easy!

I also understand and respect the fact that you don't want to play with other people, but believe me it's not bad at all: the vast majoity of players will remain muted and you won't get distracted by playing with others (and you can manually mute them too). And you can have some great surprise sometimes : I played with some dudes two days ago who didn't say anything during the game, but at the end of the mission we had to climb on an elevator and had to wait for a few dozen of seconds : one started to mimic a stupid danse, we all followed him and ended up burst out laughing like morons for 5 minutes.

Yeah I understand 🙂 thank you for the detailed info! I'm just the kind of guy that gets 100% put off by any kind of interaction or even sign of other players in my game. I can't stand playing Dark Souls, Bloodborne etc with online enabled for example. Just seeing other people's messages is enough to make me not want to play.

Can't really explain it, I just want to be left alone when playing, 100% independent (and oblivious) of other players.

I'm having some serious tracking issues with this thing. Its when i play games like Moss and Puzzling Places, the screen kind of bobs around a little. Its so offputting I had to stop playing. Its late at night so I'm playing with artificial light that isnt all that bright, could that be the issue? The hand tracking isnt great either, trying to play light brigade, 2 handing the rifle was wobbly as fuck and trying to aim with one hand I couldnt accurately hit anything so had to stop playing that as well. Very frustrating especially when I'm enjoying the games so much its hampering my sessions massively. I dont see many people having an issue with this so maybe my set up isnt good? I enabled the frame around the TV but that made no difference at all.

It's probably the darkness.

Apparently there's this thing which can help, it fills the room with IR light to help PSVR track.


I'm having the opposite problem, where my ceiling lights are too bright, and causing tracking issues when I look up.

I bought PSVR2 today. My first ever VR experience. Really happy with it so far. Started with the Horizon game. Mind blown sensing the scale of everything and feeling like being next to full size characters. Graphics also great. Then played the tutorial and beginning of REV. Can see it being much scarier this way.

Only negatives is the headset really has to sit right on your head for the image to look its best. And that I was starting to feel exhausted after playing for about 90 minutes.

You are welcome, man. And I completely get what you mean: I used to be exactly like you. Being fully immersed and on your own in another world is really cool and other players definitely break that feeling, especially in VR.

Reading this thread got me hype for the psvr2. Will get one as soon as possible. Looking forward to gt7 in vr. Brought gt7 for $40. My brother had a t150 and he gave it to me. Will do the ball bearing mod to improve it. I read it helps a lot. Brought the thrusmaster t3pm pedals and a gt omega apex stand. Later will add the shifter. Forgot to say i got a ricmotech hardmount for t150 to mount it to the base. Now will focus on getting the psvr2.

Oof got some motion sickness in Kayak VR. I thought maybe that may have been a safe choice.

I’ll try again later.

We probably wont really know for many years if it causes vision issues, kinda like how long it took for smoking and then vaping to a lesser degree to be confirmed to cause lung problems. There have been reports of it causing issues though, but there is no hard data/science to confirm it yet.

For those playing FPS Games in VR.....

SMOOTH TURNING OR SNAP TURNING?

What say you.....I think Smooth Turning is the ultimate end goal, but my VR legs may need lots of stretching to handle it

I have an odd question, but it’s driving me nuts. The screens that pop up in the headset to tell you things like “Press O to return to previous screen” or “Be sure to be holding your controller” (or something like that) are ever so slightly rotated counter clockwise. When I look at the floor, they snap to a true horizontal orientation. When I lift my head back up, I can pinpoint the exact spot it rotates back to being slightly askew. Anybody experiencing something similar?

Everything else is amazing. Games are great and loving it, but I can’t figure out what’s going on with those menu-like screens.

how long did it take for you to overcome the VR sickness?
Click to expand...
Sorry for hijacking that question, I’ve never been able to overcome it fully but what works well for me is sitting on a swivel chair and combine smooth turning with rotating the chair by walking with my feet on the floor. I’ve played a ton of Skyrim VR that way. Only issue I have is running over uneven ground, but move slow and it’s fine.
In rare occasions I go for teleportation. Boring but better than feeling sick.

done all that but I'll look into the virtual wall size. It happens the most as I look up, and the scan doesn't let me scan the ceiling much due to, I'm guessing, lamps that are pointing at the cameras...
