Got my PSVR today. I have an Oculus DK2 so I'm used to vr. Tried a few things on VR Worlds, thought they were a bit crap really. Nothing amazing. Then I tried Farpoint...

so you have more high spec VR and then bought PSVR as well...spot richy rich!!
just jealous really. Am sure we'll find VR worlds more impressive not being used to VR.
Once you have played both for a while maybe you can give us a rundown on how they compare.
My mate has Occulus Rift and keeps banging the room scale and improved graphics drum but am sure it is good..

Amazing. Really good feeling of being on that planet. So good. Might have felt a little queasy but changed the turn speed a bit. I'm fairly close to my camera here so I feel a bit too close in game, how far is the right distance? Mu God I hope that gun gets a bit cheaper, I'll deff buy it.

Resi 7. Best game on VR
Night time
Headphones off
Lights off

I have a DK2 which is way less than the current Oculus. PSVR has a far better resolution and just feels better than it. I'll probably sell the DK2 now if I can hack the PSVR with my PC, I really wont need it.

Well jell.

Get it at a good price?

Atomic Pineapple · 20-06-2017 7:15pm

Is the orb at the top of the gun built in? As in its not a move controller you can take out and use without the gun?

Nah it was 90 euro. The thing is practically sold out everywhere in the US, UK and Ireland, so when i saw it on harvey norman i grabbed it.

I couldnt wait any longer and just pulled the trigger, pardon the pun!

Yeah its built into the controller.

I bought the PS3 sharpshooter with the navigation controller when PSVR was announced in the hope i could use it on PSVR but alas it cannot.

Tested the youtube channel showed an unreleased demo before launch that used it for PSVR but that must have been before the developers could get their hands on Aim controller.

Sometimes it just feels right to pay full price when it's worth it

(This is coming from a bargain alerts addict)

I'm going to do the same with the PlayStation move controller as I don't want a used one so just going to pay full price

I welcome propaganda in VR form

Jerichoholic · 21-06-2017 12:30am

Played Battlefront VR mission. It's unreal. Wish there was more of it.

Bought that vr bar thing. Can't set it up for the life of me. It's just not right at all. Do playstation give refunds?

fixXxer · 21-06-2017 9:34am

Traded in some stuff so I got myself a PSVR. Not had a chance to try it yet, just get it all connected and set up. There are a lot more wires than I was expecting. Everything seems good so far, except my glasses make it a tad uncomfortable but I'll get used to that. The Danganronpa demo is fun if you've played them previously. It was great being right in the middle of the Class Trial.

Ya I had the same thing, actually going to give contacts another few goes since have specsavers right outside work (cudn't get the friggin things in when tried)..think it would be a lot easier get the Headset adjusted right with them

There are a lot of rumours online that Rockstar is going to announce LA Noire as a remaster for Switch, Xbox and PS4, with a first person view mode, a la GTA 5.

And VR compatible with PSVR

Jerichoholic · 21-06-2017 1:21pm

Why not just give us GTA VR instead of that?

Jerichoholic · 21-06-2017 1:38pm

LA Noire wasn't great, it's almost free for PC as it is. I can't see anyone excited to buy that again.

I loved that game! The interviewing for me although was patchy in parts was superb and something very new which quite enjoy in a game. Also loved the idea of walking around sleuthing for clues.
That being said it has 0 replayability really as you know the outcomes/story...even if in PSVR i think...although could be cool for people who haven't played it.

Jerichoholic · 21-06-2017 10:53pm

Has anyone played Hustle Kings VR? Please tell me how to change the table height, it's far too low.

mrcheez · 22-06-2017 12:45am

A few things for the psvr newbies to try out: scavengers Odyssey on the VR Worlds disc is an amazing little FPS platformer and definitely up there with London heist. Cool to look down at your blue alien arms while it moves the mech around. Originally I didn't bother checking it out as I hadn't heard anyone talking about it.

Secondly, open YouTube and access the VR version then load up Gorillaz video Saturnz Barz.

This is the future

Jerichoholic · 22-06-2017 2:05am

Got through the first area of Farpoint, same 3 enemies the whole time. Boss Fight? Same three enemies only loads more of them.

Lazy game design.

Yeah its fairly repetitive alright. If it wasnt for VR it would be a forgettable title. The online co-op is nice though.

Agree it is a copy and paste job but man does it look good in VR and the aim controller is just spot on, really well designed. Looking forward to trying other aim controller games in the future.

There is loads of replayability unless you followed a guide and got the perfect outcomes in each case the first time round!

That being said, I found reading the NPC's expressions extremely difficult and can't imagine it would be easier in lower res VR!

I still welcome any and all games to be reimagined in VR.

Anyone have suggestions on how to make things appear less blurry on screen, or is this just the resolution we have to deal with?

I've done the following...

- Manoeuvred helmet so the text is readable on the "Adjust VR Headset" screen
- Set the eye distance away from the default by positioning the targets over my pupils.

Everything still seems to look blurry as if I've been swimming in a chlorinated pool for several hours ... anything else I should try or is that the way it looks this gen?

Have you tried calibrating the headset to your eye distance? Sounds like that may help in your case, eye strain could be affecting your vision after playing.
This IGN article will help you calibrate this:

There rest of that article is pretty useful to other aspects of the VR setup also.

Yup as I mentioned

Set the eye distance away from the default by positioning the targets over my pupils.

So the "pool-chlorination effect" I'm getting shouldn't be happening?

Should I be seeing pixels at all? I'm not seeing any.. it's all smoothed out, but almost too much so that it's blurry.

No eye strain issues as I've 20/20 vision.

Will check the article thanks

Doge · 22-06-2017 12:13pm

Text whouldnt be blurry on the screen. Try moving the headset vertically to try and find the sweetspot and text looks clear.

Grumpypants · 22-06-2017 12:17pm

I get that if the distance is too narrow. I've found that if I over shoot my pupils it gets clearer, 3D gets better and the "haze" reduces.

Rather than picking the dead centre of your pupil, select the outer left and right edges of each (maybe even past your iris.

I've tried going even further but I've not really noticed much improvement past that point.

I'd say go crazy, really go out wide or in narrow past your pupils just to see how it feels. And then start to bring in back. There is a sweet spot that takes a bit to find but makes a huge difference.

Also turn on Sidetone in the audio settings (it only appears when the headset is on) but this pushes the PSVR mic through the headset, so when someone walks in you can hear them and they don't scare the living poop out of you !!
