Yeah, i've seen people in the Driveclub OT experience just that. Turning off camera shake solved the issue for them. Personally, i like to have it on.
From what we know why wouldn't it? The GPU which is typically the most important component in regards to raising resolution is over twice as powerful than the standard PS4.
Native resolution is a given. I think supersampling will be a reality for the majority of titles on Pro as well.

Im not sure if its my headset or DCVR specifically. DCVR seems rather blurry on my headset.
Is there any screenshot representation for comparison.

Can't say I have had this problem. The IQ is bad, no two ways about it but not once have I been unable to see the corner ahead or look through a line due to it. The area DCVR primarily has problems due to the IQ is when you want to see the details like birds flying, a plastic bag in the wind, leaves on a tree, the details of a logo or read out on the dashboard. But the overall shape of everything is easy to see and can be seen at a long distance. I don't think there are even any tracks in the demo that have long enough straights not to be able to see the corners, they are all pretty simple.

Wat?
Still not sold on this and I'm a huge DC fan. The demo is just so jarring and disappointing that I haven't pulled the trigger yet.

The first two laps I tried of this and I was sold. Great game getting even better. Then the third lap... my first introduction to VR motion sickness 😷
The problem is that Driveclubs camera moves with gforces and bumps etc + your own headmovements.
Its like watching a rollercoaster sometimes.
And when your balancesystem in your ears doesnt match up with what your eyes see you get sick after a while.
If they had a option to reduce cameramovement of gforces it would be better for alot of us.

I suppose so, in theory. But I've been looking around a fair bit but can't seem to find any definitive answers on this. I mean, it makes sense that PS4Pro's increased power would result in a better VR experience, but does every game need a patch akin to non-VR games?
I mean, does the PS4Pro improve VR games by default or is it up to the specific developer to make a patch?
In honesty I was planning on waiting for a white SKU before I move to PS4Pro, but if all games are [drastically] improved by default I'm there day one, white edition or not.
Yep. This is at the core of the problem I reckon. There shouldn't be ANY simulated head movement.

The same for me now. I thought I'd go back to normal DC and compare some lap times to see if there were differences, but realized I had zero interest in putting the original game back in.
This game appears to be the poster child for the awkward transition into VR that a lot of people are going to have, though despite having no issues with DCVR, Rigs and EVE were a little much for me. After talking to a few other people I think a lot of problems are caused by those who don't have the visor set up properly or don't recalibrate position if things feel a bit off. Also, people with so-so eyesight that don't wear glasses but aren't 20/20. Getting the focus nailed down isn't easy at first. The slightest thing can throw it off, even a small smudge on the lenses or someone's glasses, or a contacts prescription that's a little dated that someone might need updated. This is amplified if someone has more loss in one eye vs the other.
Only played the demo so far with a wheel but it's pretty amazing when it works.
I seem to occasionally get a jump in the viewpoint a couple of times a lap on sharp corners. The viewpoint jumps about 30 degrees suddenly back to the center of the track when I look left or right. Don't think it's headset tracking issues as other games don't have the problem (e.g. Rez).
The wheel isn't in the way of the camera. If I can fix this or be sure it doesn't happen in the full game then I'll buy it straight away.

The only problem I have with this game, apart from the sub-native graphics, is that I'm finding it difficult to stop playing. One quick go turned into three hours first night, next morning the ffb wheel came out for its first real test and another 3 hours gone - match your wheel position to the in-game one as close as possible and something just clicks and it's... whoa!
So how the hell am I supposed to get through all the demos and games I bought when this game has me by the balls?
It also accidentally gave me the best jump scare so far. Home alone, or so I thought, driving 3rd lap of an event and my 5 year old son came and put his hand on my arm to get my attention, turned to the side and there was no passenger and in that instant I screamed/jumped/flailed/crashed.

So, I assume the best way to test if this is worth buying is to play the demo for half hour or something and see if you survive? Because I only tried one race and thought it was great but reading all this makes me wonder because I get a little sick feeling when playing battlezone, eve and rigs - I'm just hopeful that the effect wears off with use.
Weird how Rush doesn't make people sick - I would have thought that'd be ideal sickness fodder!

This one of the blurriest games I have tried on my PSVR, unplayable for me with all Vaseline smeared resolution.
I hope the Pro will fix that, right now is a no buy for me.

Last night I got in a Caterham and drove slowly around the Scottish Old Town and Japanese town courses, and just took in the sights, because the Caterham has no roof it felt really great to look around in.
I also have set for several hours just playing races and felt zero nausea.
When I first played VR games on the DK2 with games like Half Life 2 VR, I felt quite sick, nowadays, meh, got used to it, hopefully other people can too.

unlikely, it's the reverse for me

The games will have to be patched for it, it's not an automatic free upgrade. There's no question significant super sampling looks like a whole new generation of headset hardware (you could compile a Bible of gushing impressions from Rift and Vive owners), the potential hang up is will developers go back and patch already released titles. And for future titles, will Pro mode be devoted mostly to super sampling, or will they instead opt to increase (IMO) less noticeable effects and settings like shadow resolution, AO fidelity, LoD, etc...

I've been playing this more than I have thought I would. No nausea at all.
This is the first game I where I actually enjoy watching replays. It is so much fun sitting there next to your avatar!

Still yet to get a wheel sorted, but I'm really enjoying it. Hasn't made me queasy, but Rez did
I played this last night on a friends PSVR and thought it was fantastic. It actually contributed to me ordering one there and then.
I feel as if the graphical quality talk has been massively overblown. Sure it's a bit blurry in the distance but the way DriveClub uses the flags for upcoming turns really doesn't make it an issue (to me anyway). If we could get a little super sampling then it would really be something special.
I did a few races and didn't get a hint of VR sickness. I do have a Vive though so that might have helped.

How are the car interiors and walkarounds?
I fucking wish.
I know it's supposed to be a "new" game but not like this..I want all my cars and my car paint jobs. :/
Don't have time to unlock everything again.
is there a way to that I haven't come across?????

The combination of blurry visuals, the cockpit moving towards me when I brake, and the limited viewing capacity made it unplayable and nauseating for me. I was the most excited about DCVR and even bought the full copy of the game. But after playing the Demo Disc trial I felt the experience was unenjoyable.
Still waiting for Ridge Racer ^__^

Of all the demos on the demo disc this was the first one to make me smile and think it's the real deal (not that I didn't enjoy the others, but this one specifically wowed me). I had to instantly buy it, and the discount made a lot easier as well.
Well, it's incredible how the VR makes me a much, much better driver. Even with a controller it's incredibly fun and immersive.
I raced the demo several times and felt nothing, my wife couldn't do a whole lap without feeling nauseated.

Has anything been confirmed? Ridge Racer 3DS was amazing. I'd love to see a classic RR game in VR.
The Driveclub demo didn't make me nauseous at all, and I can get past the bad graphics, but this game is just too simmy for me. Would prefer an arcade-style VR racer instead.
I fucking wish.

Yeah, same here. Not going to play through all of the same tracks and challenges a second time just because of VR. Really disappointing that I can't use all the cars that I've already unlocked...

Even though it is immersive it does not lead you to believe it's your own body being in danger. So crashing into a wall looks strange but I never even felt the need to close my eyes out of fear.
I'm wondering the same thing. It really does look a bit poor compared to battlezone and RIGS. I can't vouch for Battlezone as I haven't played it, but I play RIGS with all anti nausea measures turned off and using head tracking with zero issues. Driveclub doesn't make me motion sick, but I sure as hell don't feel great after it. The only thing that's really made me feel violently ill was the street luge in VR worlds. I almost threw up all over the floor after about four minutes of it.

Personally I'm not keen on the OT title, opting instead for something directly relating to the game, 'so fast its blurry' or something.
Anyway, apart from a hint of motion on the first play I've felt fine since and really enjoying the experience. Busy testing the new circuits today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5eMbGIryQE

How many of you are playing with a racing wheel setup? Is it worth it?

It feels great, actually.
You kinda get the rush of adrenaline of the "omg I'm going to crash" moment but in a softer, fun way.
I always crash my car on purpose on Assetto Corsa when I'm about to end my racing session xD

Can't comment on crashing into a wall, but when I played iRacing via Oculus Rift, the first time I came down pit road and pressed the brake pedal hard to stop I had a really weird feeling wash over me when my brain expected my body to be thrust forward and it didn't happen.

Pretty similar to when you actually crash, well leading up to the crash anyway then during and afterwards nothing like one. You see the crash coming know there is nothing you can do and brace for it, but then you see the impact hear a thud put your foot down and go.
It is pretty blurry and the draw distance goes to crap real quick. However, it's a racing game. So once you learn the track and where the turns are, I don't feel it's much of an issue.

I don't like the inherently negative OT title, its not very fair to the game
I've played the full version of DRVR for hours now and have zero nausea issues, neither do a couple of other people that I gave a test-drive to

Anyone else feel Driveclub VR lacks the sense of speed from [the original] Driveclub..?
I think the whole thing is so dull, flat, lifeless and blurry in comparison to Driveclub (I love the real Driveclub) that it's just incapable of providing any sense of exhilaration or immersion; nor is it convincing enough to cause any sense of unease when it comes motion for me personally (reversing in third person being the exception).
As far as I'm aware, Driveclub was already running unlocked in the 40-50fps range during development when targeting 60fps, the game renders at the same res in vr, albeit split in half to provide two perspectives, I wasn't expecting such a massive downgrade for the overhead of rendering two different half-res perspectives and locking 60fps down.
Of course, the native display res is a big contributor, but even then, it just seems way worse than what I expected.

I tried the demo and it did make me sick
I'm seriously bummed about this, I bought a G29 in anticipation for this game, and now I don't want it anymore.
I thought that PSVR had no adjustable IPD?

Yea that seemed like a silly idea if you bought it solely for this game.
Although GT sport is coming.
