I recently tried out VR for the first time at a local mall. The hardware was setup was a HTC Vive, GTX 1070, and two of the HTC motion controllers. I only played a bit of a shooting game where I have to shoot flying drones out of the air while dodging incoming fire, can't remember the name though. At any rate, I thought it was an interesting experience, but I wasn't completely blown away. It worked as advertised for sure, but I wasn't wouldn't cal myself a convert. I also tend to get really bad motion sickness so I limited myself to about 10 minutes. At any rate, I'm interested in a few VR games like ZoE, Rez, Battlezone, RE7. Mostly controller based stuff as I don't have the room for motion based stuff. That being said, my hardware includes a PS4 Pro and a gaming PC with a GTX 970 and 4690k. I'm leaning towards PSVR due to price. What say you?
Hi, I have both an Oculus Rift and a PSVR.
You appear to have played Space Pirate Trainer. As that's a game without artificial locomotion you shouldn't have to worry about motion sickness when playing it. There are far, far better games of that sort available today though (such as Robo Recall).
I would honestly advise against opting for a PSVR over either PC headset. You don't actually end up saving much money as whilst the PSVR is $100 cheaper than Rift, it doesn't come with Move controllers that you would want for many VR games and experiences.
It's actually pretty poor value for money comparatively, as the Rift comes with multiple full games, versus the PSVR's demo disc, and comes with 2 sensors versus the PSVR's single camera. The single camera is also a pretty big issue for the PSVR, as both the headset and the Move controllers are effectively relying on outdated PS3 Move technology. The tracking can be
very questionable, and if you're worried about motion sickness, I'd rule it out on that alone to be quite honest (along with the 60fps that you'll get on many PSVR games as opposed to the 90fps you'd typically have on PC). All of the games bar Resident Evil 7 are available for PCVR (and RE7 will be eventually), and there's incomparably more software available overall.
Basically, I wouldn't recommend a PSVR to anyone as their only headset, unless they lack a gaming PC and were unwilling to buy one.
