My favorite part....
There is this...

And Rift. I mean, come on. Its the same deal, albeit slightly less severe. Only 4Gb of RAM needed here, dad. Did you buy that Nvidia GTX 970 I told you about? No? Cant think why.

Then this...

Many of my peers instantly pre-ordered PSVR because its cheap. They didnt with Vive and Rift. £350s fine, especially when you already have the base unit the PS4, and probably the camera so, assuming you have a job or youre a bumbling middle-class student wanking your way through college on mummys infinite chequebook, it really isnt that much of an ask. Its a week of skiing lessons, Tarquin. Yes, dear. Of course you can.

Aren't most GTX970's cheaper than the PSVR?

Acquiescence · Mar 17, 2016

This'll end well.

GhostTrick · Mar 17, 2016

Since when the "GTX970 minimum/R9 290 minimum" equal to the experience of PSVR ?
People comparing oranges with apples.

Planet PlayStation just made the games VR competition smell like a bag of dicks. And bags of dicks stink.

When i opened the link i suspected that I already read something ridiculous in that website before.

Who in their right mind does this in an article?
Fire this clown.

This article is a bag of dicks.

Chris Metal · Mar 17, 2016

Are you sure they weren't just playing Uncharted 2 in Cinematic mode on PSVR?

For some reason I thought VG24/7 was a banned site.

That's some hard journalism they pushing. Quality stuff.

Game journalists have the worst sense of humor. Game journalist humor is the Borderlands, Sunset Overdrive and Saints Row 3/4's humor of humor.

Bits N Pieces · Mar 17, 2016

When mentioning costs throughout the article the writer randomly flip flops from Pound to Dollar to Euro.

What a really weird article lol

BahamutPT · Mar 17, 2016

Well, there's a garbage article if I ever saw one...

DMczaf · Mar 17, 2016

I'm more shocked an editor looked at this and went "Yup. This is good. This is DAMN good! Let's run it!"

Edit: Wait...HE IS THE EDITOR!?

Thanks for putting this into context and reminding me of one of the funniest threads I've read through on this board, lmao.

This.

Hard to take them seriously on anything after this.

dex3108 · Mar 17, 2016

New low for VG247?

Backfoggen · Mar 17, 2016

Groundbreaking article. Very clever writing. Will read again in VR to get the full experience

Seiru · Mar 17, 2016

Yikes.

Wow. Classy.

Kindekuma · Mar 17, 2016

VR is expensive either way.

Think about it: You pay $399 for a PS4, $399 for the PSVR, PS Camera for $60. $858 USD before taxes (unless you live in a sales tax free state), that price isn't including PSN+ and the games that support it. That's a massive investment to many for new tech such as consumer VR. Doesn't matter what platform you are on when it comes to VR right now, everyone is an early adopter to this. This article is just embarrassing.

Bronx-Man · Mar 17, 2016

This sounds like something Jim Sterling would say off the top of his head as a parody of how awful games journalism is.

SerTapTap · Mar 17, 2016

This article smells like this article. And this article stinks.

Xbob42 · Mar 17, 2016

I did enjoy one of the comments.

"Does your sphincter ever actually unclench?"

I'd hate to see what this guy does to people he sees driving expensive cars.

def sim · Mar 17, 2016

I'm still not certain if this is sincere or not. I mean, the article starts out with "Fatality."

Probably while holding a giant dildo just to further the point of the jib.

vcc · Mar 17, 2016

hmm.. this is awful.

Harlequin · Mar 17, 2016

Someone must've been writing an article while drunk LOL.

Sadist · Mar 17, 2016

Wow this is pretty bad. Can't believe they would post stuff like this.

Yup.

I used a DK2 and while it was great, I think i'll wait a few years until the prices come down and the technology improves.

Peterc · Mar 17, 2016

Sony does have to most chance where vr can fail.

Occlusion is much better and Pc is also more powerfull.

Not that I want Sony to fail in Vr. But to be realistic, games where you need to move your camera with your controller isn't playable. You automatically will get motion sickness. Beside that you have people that get motion sickness for all games using Vr.

Remember 3ds?

Games where you only need to turn your view with the headset will work. I've a dk2 for 2years and played technolust. So I'm talking about experience

PC does have allot of other things beside gaming, that's why it will work on pc.

Imagine you have kids sitting in your seat with the helmet on, no social contact... I think people will use it for 2 months like wii.

I hope of course they can prove me wrong...

GeordieMark · Mar 17, 2016

That article is awful. Reads like a bad forum post.

MatrixMan.EXE · Mar 17, 2016

Lord have mercy. Did a 14 year old write this?

Joey Ravn · Mar 17, 2016

It's all about the clicks, baby.

Mikey Jr. · Mar 17, 2016

Getting a PSVR, and this article is cringe/sad.

Sadist · Mar 17, 2016

Hmm... how did he collect the knowledge on how a bag of dicks would smell? That's the real question here.

HabeeNo · Mar 17, 2016
