    Played Resident Evil- The First Hour this evening for the first time. Really impressed, will try and force update of new version tomorrow.

    Very immersive, feels like you're walking about the house. Graphics not bad either.

    If it was in VR then you did play the update.

    Lot of people are complaining online about how bad the controls for this game are. I thought that was kinda the idea of the game anyhow

    It definately is the idea of the game the first one was so awkward to control but that's what made it funnier I suppose...

    Nah it's borked. The issues aren't there with the vive version and the developers have come out saying they're working on a fix. Till then, avoid.

    No one downloaded the battlefront mission yet?

    VR mission is there now, you need to download it as a seperate file and update your game (so download both). I havent updated for a long time so ive nearly 18gb to get through. Wont be playing until tomorrow.

    One thing i did do and is worth messing about with is to bump up the distance between eyes settings. When i measure using photos i got 63mm. But was having issues with the blurr.

    The test text you read (that says move the headset until this stops being blurry) to set headset position for example would always be blurry at the far sides.

    I bumped it right up to 67. No blur, everything is way clearer and looks much crisper, the haze is practically gone and the 3D effect is way more impressive.

    Played the Star Wars VR mission there. Amazingly impressive. The sense of scale is awesome inspiring and navigating the X Wing soon becomes second nature.

    If this is a sign of things to come, the future is certainly gonna be bright

    Now that it's been out a while... is there anyone that has eye strain or other eye problems that are happy with it?
    I'm torn on buying it. I have one eye weaker than the other (so I can't really see much in traditional 3D movies and such, though my day to day vision is fine)... I'm trying to visualise holding my phone 4 inches from my face and I'm struggling to convince myself that I won't have sore eyes and a bursting headache after 5 mins.... it could end up being an expensive ornament.

    I don't think holding a phone 4 inches from your face simulates the PSVR experience since it uses lenses etc rather than just having a close-up screen.

    Even I'm getting eye strain doing that with my phone.

    I have a stigmatism in my left eye so it is weaker than my right. Despite this, PS VR works very well for me.

    TBH the only way to tell is to try it out. Are there any kiosks you could go to to test it out?

    The cockpit is amazingly clear, great backgrounds and capital ship are quite good when you get close, but the smaller ships really show up the hardware and the lighting is very flat. Not a fan of the combat either, which was just a bit dull - Hold L1 to get a lock and guarantee a hit. I just want the system of the old X-wing/ Tie-fighter games, including energy management. Still, I found it incredibly impressive. I'd love to know if it optimised for the Pro.

    Can I start this mission without playing single player, I have the game, but never had a chance to play it.

    Yep once you have the patch downloaded 1.11(I think) and then download the VR Experience from the in-game menu or from the PS Store.You can just start the VR exp from one of the main menu tabs,no Battlefront previous gameplay needed.....Just as long as you own the main game.

    Just tried the x-wing VR demo there, probably my favourite of the "space" games so far.

    Weird though, I was just finishing up and getting ready to turn off the VR when the screen started to flicker like mad and def gave a wave of nausea. Will have to be careful with that in future.

    Tried this Starwars VR mission and I must agree - it is good, I like it, still I expected it to be a little longer. Is new one from Resident Evil any good?

    Turned it off after five minutes. It gave me the fear. Can't be dealing with that. So yeah, it's effective.

    Kitchen is really very short. Like 2 minutes, and it's more of an experience than a game.

    Look for the Beginning Hour demo, that's the main thing, and I think it is pretty scary! There are some great "jump" moments in it, the whole thing feels so suppressible. You can almost smell the musty smell of the rooms

    Pixel Gear just got update with local Multiplayer, great game for those who haven't tried it yet ... Probably is kind of repetitive but with local MP added I may just get back to trying to get all those trophies ...

    Tried a few demos there, very impressed. Star Wars was really great, best immersion I've had so far. I have a DK2 and the screen is miles better on PSVR. The only problem was the controller spazzing out all time, tell me there's a fix for that?

    You just have to realise the light bar on the front of the controller needs to be in view of the camera to function properly. The move controller probably has better range as the light is visible from more angles.

    It was right in front. but it seemed to turn around completely in game and start jumping around then. Im sure it'll be fine. Thanks.

    Elite Dangerous coming to PS in Q2 next year. That game is ideal for VR and is really impressive with Oculus rift by all accounts.

    I have played the game (and the original version was my favorite computer game from 1984 - 1990 or so) on PC but not seen it in VR - I have seen enough to know it would be great in VR though.
