Like 4 to 6 hours with me surfing the galaxies
Agreed, at 24 pound I might be tempted but no higher.

Holy shit Megaton Rainfall is something else!
Here's a short clip from early on in the game:

Every single footage music is really selling me on this game.
I just got Megaton Rainfall, and I must be really dense! How do you reach the moon and other galaxies? I can head towards the moon, but it always winds up dead overhead, I'm barely moving at all, and all I get is a stiff neck. The quick tutorial doesn't explain any of that, but I seem to be the only one who can't do it. 
Otherwise, Destroying cities is a great way to release some of this pent-up tension from reading the news. I love hearing the people scream when I impose my wrath on them.

yes
I got it and played it through in maybe 3-4 hours (two sessions). There are collectibles that I didn't go after. It is interesting, but it didn't blow me away.

How is the sense of speed and flight with the comfort settings off in Megaton? Thatll be the make or break for me.

Not all, it does the fade to black edge thing if you crash into something.
Very smooth, although it does warp and teleport you around a lot as you dont have yaw and pitch controls.

And finished Megaton. Took me about three hours maybe. Some crashes and glitched out missions. Luckily restarting the game is very fast. And did not like the cringey vocal track that keeps looping
Still. Liked it a ton! Amazing VR Experience for sure. Definitely grab it when its in the 10$ pricerange.

MR does a lot of smoke and mirrors tricks to achieve the scale. It is very obvious and the tricks break down all the time while you are playing it. Massive pop in, very low res textures, lower resolution.
The game is a blast, but the tech is not that impressive while you are playing, and is much worse looking than Elite and MMS.

Ok, Hard Mode is the true way to play Megaton.
I'm a bit disappointed with GT Sport VR. I was expecting more graphically considering there's only two cars, Polyphony are supposed to be graphics wizards, and I'm on a Pro. Inside the car is sharp, outside is super jaggy and pixelated. To me it looks like a cellphone game blown up to PS4. That said, there are quite a few tracks to unlock and play and the core game is fun. And certainly there is more content in the flat=screen main part of the game.
Meanwhile, I'm downloading Megaton Rainfall and No Heroes Allowed! They both look fantastic and impressions sound great.

Too late for the sale recommendation, but get Statik*, it's worth it at any price. It's pretty much the best use of VR I've seen or done to date, and yes - I include any roomscale Vive thing in here.wilflare said:
*Well - assuming you're ok with puzzle-solving - it's not an action game or anything.
The whole "two cars" thing shows they've given little to no attention/time to VR mode - a 60fps game shouldn't need rendering downgrades for PSVR to begin with, let alone CPU downgrades, which is what the car-reduction is presumably for.valeu said:
hmm didnt find it to be overly jaggie or pixelated, compared to other VR games. Though I found the environment to be pretty simple, and barebones. Mind I haven't played any VR game in a while, and haven't played this game in 2D.
Gosh, there are a ton of PSVR games with sharp graphics. Off the top of my head, you should give Rez, Rigs, Job Simulator, Wayward Sky, Bound and Windlands a shot. GT Sport trackside detail is at PS2 graphical levels

DriveclubVR may have had lots of trackside geometry removed, but I still think the trees are way better in DCVR than GTS.
And did I read correctly that you're limited to a 2 lap race? That's weak. It's like Polyphony really don't want me to play in VR.
Edit: Apparently there are events with higher lap counts.

is it true that you can only race for 2 laps at a time, or is there another way to just drive unlimited laps?
I played one that had 10 laps. The others, 2 laps.

Sorry, unrelated....holy balls! Megaton Rainfall might be the coolest game I've ever played. My jaw was just on the floor. I just did the first mission. Playing on a Pro. Game is sharp. Beautiful. The sense of scale and power that you have as a superbeing is just amazing. And 1 guy made this over 5 years? I have to know more about this guy, Alfonso del Cerro
obviously that is a pretty hyperbolic comparison, and Im not saying there aren't VR games that look better and are sharper. I have played most those games listed, though it was awhile ago.
Just pointing out with my limited play time, I found the lack of detail in the environment more prominent than jaggies or resolution. Resolution seemed mostly fine to me, maybe I was expecting worse. This is playing on a Pro btw.
I did find the stage select screen pretty jaggie though, but once playing it seemed to all go away....and wasnt even a thought. But wasn't really looking for it in the first place.

wait, a vr race with 10 laps?
Maybe it's just me. We'll see if other people complain or if I'm the only one. For me when a car gets ahead of me on the track it loses its shape as a car and turns into blinking shapes. And when you look in the rearview mirror you can see all the folliage pop-out. I've just had my hopes up. I wish someone would convince Shuhei to give Driveclub a Pro patch.
The first race, Northern Isle Speedway has 10 laps. I did about six other tracks and they only had 2 laps.
The side mirrors are pretty pixelated iirc, and have a very short draw distance, but I think that has been the case for many driving games since a long time. its like that more or less in the 2d version I think or at least in previous versions of the game. Could be wrong though.

Just played about an hour and a half in VR with GT:S it needs a lot of work, not even close to good enough.
You feel like your in an swivel chair inside a car, its way too smooth, the cars lack weight or any feedback, my head is where my chest would be and no way to adjust this, the sounds are muted, racing doesn't contribute to your overall stats, AI is a joke and may as well not even be there.
It gets the track proportions right, the cars look decent, the depth perception is good but thats where any positives end.
It doesn't even get close to how good all the other VR racers feel, it feels like one of the cheap cash in experiences that feel overpriced at a fiver. The devs need to go play Dirt Rally, Driveclub, Assetto Corsa, Project Cars 2, iRacing all in VR and honestly ask themselves if what they have created is even close to acceptable. Hint: Its not and its certainly not a piece of software I'd try to push PSVR with.

Different cars have different amount of laps. I did a 2 laps, 4 laps and a 6 laps all on Brands Hatch (I been there a few times so I could directly compare it).

Did you have a choice of lap no.s? Or it's just determined by the event.

Never given the option just happened to have different lap amounts with different cars.
