No game that I know of so far works with just one of them.
I disagree. And this is coming from someone who is excited as hell for PSVR. It's not that he's overly negative about PSVR itself, but more grounded on the idea of VR in general, and he has every right to be. It's hard to sell people on a $400 thing when that thing could very well lose all support a few years down the line.
I mean, yeah, I disagree with him on a few points, but I wouldn't say it's not worth watching.

I'll honestly be amazed if we have strong support one year later.
I'm hoping for it, but yeah... considering Sony's track record... still, when they think something DOES have a future, they can really dig in their heels, as they did with the PS3 and the Blu-Ray format. So hopefully it's more than than 3D TVs/games and PS Move.

Even the Move was supported longer than that. Let's be realistic with our cynicism.

I think the rest of the embargos are up tomorrow for the launch stuff so they'll probably do something with those games tomorrow. I don't know how in depth it will be, they already looked at a lot of the games.

I think tumble is a one handed game.
They seem to imply Thursday so there's people online to play Rigs.
I'm curious to hear about Here They Lie. It's pretty high on my radar.

I'm not sure if that was embargoed or if they just didn't play it. It's on the demo disc and some of the other streams last week showed it off.
Nothing for me. They haven't charged my card either. Paranoia is out of control right now.

I disagree.
His whole argument was framed from the position of feeling he needs to be the antithesis of the hardcore VR pundits and misses several key points when driving too far off the road to provide any salient arguments.
The whole episode was formed from an "oh yeah? I don't think so!"
When you're arguments consist of why we move our hands in VR when it's easier to press a button then, yes, he misses the mark big time.
Agreed completely. Motion controls coming before VR is pretty much putting the cart before the horse.

I vaguely remember reading about a game that supported all three controls schemes (DS4, 1 Move, or 2 Moves) but can't remember what it was. Seems like most games are going for either DS4 or 2 Moves though.

PS Move was a by far cheaper peripheral with a significantly larger install base. A significant amount of that "support" was tacked on as an optional control scheme. For a FPS, it was pretty trivial to do. Despite all these factors, the support was still miserable. Almost everything in most of those years wasn't even worth looking at with some of the most interesting stuff was being at the beginning. So I say again, I'd be amazed if we got strong support after a year.
That doesn't mean all development ceases by then; it means having substantial strong titles still being worked on and released. There's considerably more involvement with supporting VR than PS Move and VR is going to be a $400, $450 or even $500 investment, or ten times the price, with likely a smaller user base. I would not be shocked if development slows to a crawl after a year and I'm getting one with that understanding.

VR headset repairs are gonna require a degree! ;p But seriously, I wonder if repairs for VR headsets will be a little pricier.
To know if you're wearing it or not
First time playing it the feeling of being in a different world is really nice
I think the stream shows a non-unwarped view of the game, the image of one eye before it's being sent to the PU. You can see it quite good here at around the 2 minute mark. Also makes sense, it would not be very practical to send the unwarped image back to the PS4 from the processing unit, I don't think there would be enough bandwidth to do this.
Mine hasn't changed yet either. Still says on time.

Is the shark game only on vr worlds or is there a demo of it on the demo discs?
I've got the exact same thing. No charges and no updates on the order status. I'm going to pop a shit if my shipment ends up being delayed.

Still no signs of shipping from Gamestop. At this rate I'm scared they're shipping it day of and it'll take even longer to show.

Keep the first impressions coming. I am traveling and won't be home to try it till late next week.
if you have some moves and picked up vr worlds, London Heist could be cool. That was my first experience with VR. (that game's demo)

To be honest, if that shark shit is on the main screen when loading the game, I probably won't be playing fucking the Worlds game much. I have a strong fear of those beasts. Took me up around high school until I could even look at pictures/tv with them, but a VR game like that is a hard nope on my end.
That aside, kind of glad Gamestop is doing a midnight opening, so I can go grab my headset tomorrow and get it all setup so when I get home from work Thursday I can jump right in.
Oh yeah, I totally get that - it was a bad choice of words...I just meant more affordable and that even if you couldn't get (or utilise) VIVE then PSVR will give you a good experience for a good price. I would totally get VIVE (as well) if I had the funds - I have a games room which would be ideal but couldn't justify the outlay of VIVE & expensive PC vs £350.
I admit an oversight, but for the small percentage of people that wish to use HDR then a simple HDMI to HDMI coupler would be easy enough.

Man, I hope VR has the effect for me. Usually games don't hit me like that, and I know some people don't feel VR like that the way others do. I hope I can let VR do its thing.°°ToMmY°°;219880451 said:
I've now had the headset for 10 days, and I've found the following:
1) Once you get used to putting it on, it's second nature. So easy to get the sweet spot in the lenses.
2) I had my first issues with tracking last night. Similar to the Giant Bomb stream, but nowhere near as serious. I rebooted the PS4 - went back to being perfectly fine, so my guess is that this is software related.
3) The PS4 home screen/XMB frame rate dips if you don't quit the game you're playing in, which can be a bit disorientating.
4) Motion sickness is a thing. Tomb Raider's VR mode is... Woof. Put it in free mode and turn the camera, instant nausea. (Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg5D0BxCgZc )
5) The more I play, the more I'm impressed. I stand by my review, Sony have absolutely nailed the price/performance balance. There are limitations, but once you've gotten used to them and know what it can and can't do? It's brilliant.

For number 3 you mean if you hit the home button versus holding and quitting out?
Favorite games so far?
Yup. It's a bit rough for the first few seconds after you go to a menu with a few games. Smooths itself out shortly after, but if you just quit out of the game it's fine
That I can talk about? Arkham VR, Job Simulator, Battlezone. Playroom VR Is a *ton* of fun for a free download.
