Shit me too. I'm hella addicted to thumper, but after a few minutes the viewpoint shifts like 90 degrees to the left and it becomes unplayable.
I've reset the system, unplugged everything, changed the camera position etc.
I may return this to Amazon.
Damn, I'm very conflicted, only going to pick up 1 new release this week and I need to decide between Tethered and Windlands. Windlands seems more like my style of game but Tethered is getting such awesome reviews/impressions.
Until Dawn seemed to work best for me when I had the camera above the TV and sat within 5 feet in a swivel chair. When I tried longer distance or below the TV, I'd get the weird arm thing eventually, looking like one or both arms were broken lol.

Any reflective surface in view of the camera?

Tethered is the real deal. It's totally awesome.
I finished the first world after 32 minutes of game time and I was shocked to find I was not in fact a god but a man sat on a bean bag taking off his PSVR.
I was totally immersed in the game. I totally lost myself. Amazing really.

Oh I get that it's not RL. I played the hell out of DC so I know what DC is like. I am just saying it feels forced. None of that game was designed for VR, IMO, and it shows in the worst ways.
Getting back to my earlier poiny, I know a lot of people turned off by DC which is why I said it's a bad first showing. I can guarantee I would have never given VR a second try if DC was my first foray into VR.
Non-game applications use the gyro, not LEDs, it's why you can rotate but not move around the screen. That's why it's different.

Duuuude! Rigs is awesome. I'm still learning and unlocking stuff but we should get some GAF teams going end zone online 3 vs 3 is the SHIT!
It's amazing how deverse this launch lineup is.

Haven't played its VR/shooter mode but I wasn't too impressed with the game in VR. Probably will look better in PSVR via pro but it looked really pixellated. I have a 3D tv and I think it looks better that way for 3D even if its not vr.

Wait I have my Kurt Cobain poster behind me on the wall, does that matter??
Nothing else in the way, just my couch against a wall. I even move the coffee table outta the way

Agreed, Batman was sooo good. They really need to make another, even bigger one.
Yup, I'm really excited for this one.
Yeah, teleporting isn't that bad at all.

I agree Batmans teleport works really well but I would like both options.

Ummm... Trine 1, I think. And Trine 3?
Not sure if anyone answered but no they do not come out in 3D in cinematic mode even when connected to a 3D TV, the TV displays in 3D the PSVR in 2D, others are Super Stardust and Sniper 3

Played BF1 first single player mission in Cinematic Mode.
It was pretty good. On the biggest screen setting, it really felt like I was really there. Aside from the loss of details I can see myself playing the rest of the campaign like this.
But not the MP. While it was sweet, I can't properly aim and everything feel a tad to big.

Great to hear. Totally bummed that i won't get to play it properly until Friday night, thanks to spending tomorrow evening and all of thursday out with the gf
But i can't wait to get stuck into it once i'm backI LOVE driveclub. More so than the vanilla game. Scale, immersion and being able to accurately sense distance just makes it so much better. Is the IQ a bit low? Yes. Does it really matter? Not really. It probably helps that i didn't get a single lick of motion sickness from it which i hear is a common complaint (didn't from here they lie either)
Easier to play. More fun. More immersive. Next to rigs and battlezone its my favorite launch title.

Damn, I spent a good 45 min to an hour just on the tutorial island, extremity fun so far but I had to go and save randomly and couldn't find the option so I just quit out, thinking it would save.
It doesn't save

Brookhaven Experience is a lot of fun. Really cool game. When you suddenly have a zombie behind you that you didn't know about and you turn around and see a full, life-sized, disgusting death creature wailing away at you, it's fucking scary.
I just wish the tracking wasn't so awful sometimes. When you're pointing forward, everything is fine. But having to aim to the sides can be a problem. Accuracy is one of the biggest stats for giving you money in the Survival rounds. Your accuracy gets fucked hard by PSVR tracking, though.

Just done the first couple of levels of Tethered. It seems really good and is very immersive, though i'm wondering how it's going to handle difficulty later on. Already, it seems like the tactic is just to throw more enemies in than your Peeps can really handle. Is there any way to get more than 2 heroes? Can you build a second Barracks?

Do you use two motion controllers or just the ds4?

I had similar experiences with my 10 y/o nephew who is a huge gamer, my 20 year old niece, who's also a geek and gamer, and my wife who isn't a gamer at all. None of them got sick, but none could make it through the shark demo in PSVR Worlds. I'm super bummed out because as much as I'm loving VR, some of the joy is snatched when there's nobody to show it to.

You know what i'm itching for in VR? Something like Cooking Mama. There's a GEAR VR game that kind of scratches that itch, but yeah, Cooking Mama would translate quite well to PSVR.
Since m0dus seems anxious for VEV impressions, I'll post mine.
I was getting a headache during my play session last night, but more from how the helmet was sitting on my head; for some reason I had trouble getting it comfortable this time. All I ended up doing was Ocean Descent full version and VEV.
With VEV I have to be honest and say I had no idea what I was doing. I started off in the water sample and really just swam around. I guess I was supposed to pick up the blue particles since they would absorb into my little swimmer thing, but pressing the controller buttons seemed to expend them. I need to do some research online so I can find out what to do. I did like the environment and maneuvered around a tardigrade (maybe two).
After dying in the water sample I tried out the blood sample. Fantastic Voyage is one of my favorite movies, so going around in the blood sample put a big grin on my face. I think I was getting attacked pretty quickly by things that reminded me of the antibodies from FV, and then soon after that a big blob absorbed my swimmer guy, and I'm guessing that was a white blood cell. That was the end of my play session. I'll definitely be back since I liked the visuals so much, but I need to find out what to do.

I read you cannot save mid level. Each level takes between 30 minutes to an hour to complete, so when you start a level, you have to be ready to spend that amount of time to finish it, or just pause the game and come back to it later.

We have one more minor patch coming that takes into account some of your feedback by the way. So thank you for providing it.
Wow, thats awesome! Cannot wait to check it out. Feels Good!
I bet Crytek wants some reviews to have the Pro version mentioned

I think a little more guidance about your goals would be great in the game. Like the two in vitro levels, I think the goals are to get above 1000 energy as well as survive the full 15 minutes? I didn't realize about the battery thing, I got close with the soil level with like 850+ energy. And of course you need to collect the energy pellets as much as possible before ingesting them - the game mentioned this as an aside about a score multiplier but it didn't stress how that's basically how you need to play the game to get any advancement. Originally, I was only collecting a few pellets before ingesting, then I started saving all my energy digestion for when it was about to run out instead of trying to hit 1000+ energy. I tried the blood and cerebrospinal fluid levels and never made it to the 15 minute survival times, damn WBCs.

For some reason I thought that was when it was getting released.... Where did it get pushed back from?

Insane For Sony
That is pretty amazing. A shame that stock media player app doesn't support 3D/360 videos but only 2D, when one person was able to knock it out so quickly. Nice thing is he says the PSVR protocol was easy to use and not obfuscated in any way. They wanted to make this as easy as possible for hobbyists, it seems.
I picked up Tethered, which I'm really enjoying, but I'm getting a lot of judder, especially when I look to the side -- the island moves in and out. It''s really distracting, and I'm not sure if I can keep playing if I can't get it fixed. Any suggestions? I've tried:
Powering down the PS4
Camera above & below the TV
Lights on & off
Did the camera setup in settings
Did the tracking lights in settings
I'm not sure what else to try.

Bring the camera closer to you. You could keep the camera at the same distance and while you are playing keep getting closer to the camera one step at a time until the judder stops .Once you figure out the distance either change your seat or the camera position to match the optimal distance. Worked for me in Wayward Sky.
Oh, I should have mentioned -- I moved forward, too. Same thing.
I see unfortunatly I don't have Tethered. Do you have this issue in other games? if not sure, try Wayward Sky demo and stay on the main menu you should notice the judder there. Just for reference my distance is exactly 4feet between the headset and camera.
I called Sony for this issue and they made me turn the ps4 off and unplug everything and then replug them so you could try that. They thought it was the extension cable but it turned out because I removed the extension cable I was forced to sit closer to the camera.
Are you playing it in the dark? or a poorly lit room?

Is that why my... Adult... movie files aren't working?
I've tried with lighting coming external from the room, lights in the room, and no lights on other than the TV.
