Do you guys still have the unit? Maybe you could do some tests specifically for the positional fighting and drift issues on the headset itself and see if you can reproduce them?

HOW DO I REPORT THIS FOR TROLLING

All of these demos looks super smooth and fun. Restored my faith a bunch.
Let's give Zebatite a second chance. He lost himself back there. He's a good fella.
It's looking great here. Keeping my order, but I'll be able to return if it doesn't like my setup.
They posted a live stream from a major outlet

It's too low-res to be useful.
Yep.
Now I hope my headset isn't coming from the same bunch as Giantbombs...
The faulty headset thing is totally a thing.

I missed the kitchen demo?
Yeah that was the last one.
Your personal experience or?
I understand it will look bad, I'd like an idea of how bad.
Possibly, but they had two different ones. Can't remember if one was the new style and one the old or what off the top of my head.
I went out to check something thinking the Rez demo was going to last a bit longer.
Does gamespot upload the video later?
Also both of GB's units had similar problems.

Maybe it's the camera rather than the other things? I haven't followed this much, mind.
Thank you for coming to your senses.
Let's grab some VR beer!
Stream is over. But it was a good relief to see the headset working fine like the previous E3 hands-on and stuff.

Do Gamespot have the new or the old camera?
Nah, from reviews and Twitter talk. You see on any streams when the social screen has to go low res? That looks bad.
Yeah, which I could buy if it was just headset problems. Maybe just getting unlucky in that case, but for everything to crap out in various degrees would be strange to be a headset issue. Maybe the cameras I guess, but even then.
Hopefully people get to the bottom of whatever causes it by launch day.

Game informer are not having issues either!

EDIT: Go to 14:50 "The camera tracks the headset really good, like, really well. I was impressed. It was better than I expected it" "It's pretty good at tracking" "Not perfect, but pretty good"

Their Move tracking seems to be less shaky than Gamespots too. Definitely a lot of variance in terms of tracking and setup.

I've watched a ton of GB VR coverage. I've never seen Jeff look that physically ill from the tech. PSVR did not do well for him today. He said it mostly the stuff that was supposed to be still was moving back and forth.
This. It's important to note that when they did all their Vive/Oculus stuff, Jeff did the brunt of the live stream testing and he never looked like that. Something was seriously wrong with a piece of hardware (be it the headset or the camera) for him to have motion sickness.
Yeah I watched it all. Headsets could be faulty, maybe reading the sensors too sensitive or something to make the world sway, because GameSpot had some Move shakiness, but nothing in the headset. Now GI apparently have neither.

Did GI say what kind of camera they used? New or old one?

You can clearly see the virtual Moves jittering like mad in the Arkham VR portion, just like on Giant Bomb.
It's cool that we finally got Driveclub VR gameplay at 60fps. That honest looked quite a decent downgrade from the regular game.
Richard clearly says in his DF review that he suffered from the same jittery issues, and also experienced loss of tracking when sitting outside a certain sweet spot.

That's still different enough to Giant Bomb where they couldn't even find a sweet spot and tried moving closer.

You're really just making yourself look like a joke. There's a giantbomb thread showing what is a worrisome issue. It doesn't hurt to know that it does indeed work and isn't a widespread problem. You've gotten more worked up than anyone.
I'm still amazed how close it still manages to look though.
It's PSVRs most demanding game right now it seems.
Which is insignificant when compared to the spate of issues GB was having; the jittering here is far less severe as well.
Even Vive units have jitter.
Even Vive has jittering to some degree sometimes depending on setup. And the controllers are having superior tech.
Lol. Good whataboutism, guys.
Vive jittering didn't get a pass either.
Edit: just to be clear, the test will be when people will get the headsets and if it makes them sick or not. If not, everything it's fine. Still saying that there are no tracking issues in this video or in the Game Informer video is not correct.
There is jittering but what made Jeff sick was the world pulsing around him and we haven't seen that with any other coverage. It really makes it seem like they have something wrong with their units.
Regardless of the positives or negatives of the PSVR platform, it comes across as fanboy-deflection/damage control.
Let the Gamespot stream stand on it's on merits.
The world pulsing suspisciously aligns with a camera struggling to get the correct depth and keeps correcting the distance from the player's point of view.
Still waiting for official word on this Giantbomb (and others) issue.
Also, the move's jittering is kind of expected from 2010 tech. It's never gonna be as smooth as Vive or Oculus. Devs could apply some smoothening algorythms like we see in PS3's The Fight. At the expense of input lag.
"whataboutism"?
There isn't a flawless tracking system on the market, and GB jittering was severe and not at all typical of what PSVR is capable of, as evidenced by streams put out by GI, GS, KF and etc.
Relative to what happened on the GB stream, PSVR on GS is absolutely not exhibiting tracking issues akin to those that were present on GB and Kotaku.
"No tracking issues" doesn't equate to 100% jitter-free.
I like your self-irony.
Sorry, I didn't see the small letters in the OP. /s
No tracking issues means no tracking issues. Jitters and drift are tracking issues. What spin games are we playing now?
Edit: I feel the need to mention again that once the headsets will be in the people hands it might not be a widespread thing or people won't be to bothered by it, that remains to be seen.

Even the GI stream the guy says something like
"the head tracking isn't great and it makes me feel like I'm going to fall. Which makes me nauseated"
During London heist.

During London heist.
Just to be clear: when I made the thread title "no tracking issues" was directed at the headset, since GB stream was so fucked up.
The moves are a different story. Everyone knows they are old tech and Vive is using newer sensors that rely on IR as opposed to move's "lightbulb" solution. Hence the superiority. I think anyone who tested the moves back then already knows this.

Don't worry you'll get there next year with the Scorpio... to a better VR.
Lol yeah. I imagine some people's cameras by now, like mine, have been stuck somewhere amidst a bunch of cables behind the tv. A simple smudge of some sort over one of the lenses would definitely fuck up how the system works. It could be something as simple as that for anyone with issues.
Everyone give your cameras a good wipe down before you use PSVR for the first time, just in case!
