You shouldn't have any light bleed as the screens are oled. It's pitched black when I have mine on except for when there is light coming in from outside by accident.

That's where I have mine too. I don't feel sorry next to the Npcs but there environment I guess I'd just on a larger scale. When I pad under a door in real life I'm only 6 inches from the top. In re7 door frames are a good 1.5 feet over my head.
Maybe you could falsely recenter the game by holding the option button?

Hmmm. Good to know. Mine looks like old LCD computer monitors from the early 2000s amount of light bleed. I'm going to try to adjust the brightness when I get home to see if that fixes it. I hope so. Otherwise I'm going to send it in.

You are going to be waiting for a long time. Still mostly out of stock and when they are in stock they sell out in 5 minutes. You can readily get them online if you pay really high prices. Clearly Sony is not making enough of these.

This is a GREAT number! The game will probably sale over 2 million units in the first month world wide. So if it held up and was played by 200,000 people, month one........

Do you think you can take a picture of the issue?
If the flash accidentally goes off, would the magnification from the PSVR lens damage the screen? This was a warning when it came to sunlight.

Hey PS VR GAF, did you see this portal ? I think it only count players who registered on Resident Evil.net, but that's very interesting for the PS VR data.
Good stuff.
Is the light bleed uniform-ish (a sparkly gray) across what seems like it should be a black background, or is it brighter closer to the edges or center?

I didn't make a profile and have PS VR, now I think I will go make one!

Dude that's some scary s*** right there!lol
No one actually knows long term effects this technology can have on our brains... I hope the Benz can fix VR tech asap.
It scared me for a couple days. I panicked and started asking Gaffers questions about it too. But it went away and hasn't happened since.
UNTIL.....I played RE7. Now when I close my eyes I see the father chasing me. But that only happens for about 30 minutes after I finish playing the game. And this samething might have happened in non-VR too.

The expanded history on that site tells an interesting tale: looks like a fairly regular drip-feed of new stock which sells out within a really short time. We'll never know what the sales figures could have been if Sony and their partners had actually been able to make enough to meet the demand.
When I walked past a CEX the other day I was amazed to see a second-hand PSVR in the window for £450.

Sparkly gray for sure. The light bleed is uniform

When I got RE7 today I didn't need to make an RE.net profile; it just created one from my PSN profile. It was only a couple of clicks and it was done.
Okay, that sounds normal. What I think is happening is OLEDs handle pure black to color response slower than normal, so a lot of black backgrounds in apps and games won't go fully black to reduce blur. I think if you load up cinema mode (and a few other places), you'll notice black areas outside the virtual screen are truly black.
iirc, of course, it's been a while since I've taken note of the issue. I can double-check tonight, but I'm pretty sure that's what you're noticing.
Playing Resident Evil 7 in VR has confirmed to me that there's more to designing a VR experience than just making head movement control the camera. RE7 feels more like playing a regular game in 3D than anything else to me, which is OK - I'd prefer to see more games implement the VR option like RE7 than not.
It's... neat. And it's probably a more immersive experience on the PS4 Pro - it's hard to believe the environment when everything five feet in front of you looks terrible.

I'm not super worried. I do think that adjusting brightness will help. I didn't know you could do it before a gaffer told me there is a psvr menu. It's right on the edge of what I consider acceptable. If I can improve it 25 percent then I'll be happy.
Is the main game worse than the demo?
I've only played the demo on my Pro but I thought for the scale of it it looked nice and clear and very very atmospheric.

there is an outdoor section at the beginning of the game. i didn't think it looked that bad but some people think it looks a lot worse than the interiors (for obvious technical reasons)

So what are peoples thoughts on visualised body vs no body?
For me without body tracking I prefer no body visual simply because I find it quite jarring as my body is often in a totally different position. I think it could work well in a "walk a mile in my shoes" narrative but for general gameplay I find it distracting but for some reason hands don't bother me at all but put limbs on it and it feels odd.

Is definitely prefer regular releases with a vr option like in re7. Granted it won't be as good as something designed from the ground up but at this point I'd take anything.
Also that's good to hear that it isn't the screen that's the matter. Is there a way to turn that off?

Crud. That's too bad. I really hope I can get used to it. Vr is a lot of fun

That's not a filter. That is mura all hardware that are OLED have it. It is due to slight light differences when overlaid they don't match. Screendoor is minimised on the PSVR due to the way the pixel arrangement not a filter. Whilst you wont be able to eliminate mura with OLED due to the manufacturing process it is a lot better than using a backlight.
More info
The problem is that the game lowers the resolution of objects that are at a distance from you, and RE7 has far larger environments than the demo (longer corridors, bigger rooms).
Outside environments with foliage understandably look bad. The game looks best when whatever you're looking at is a few feet in front of you, as was the case for most of the RE7 demo, but that isn't as often the case in the full game. Overall it's on par with the demo, and I imagine it's much better on the Pro.

Just bought battlezone and rigs from that bb sale. The two of them for a total of about $59 ish seemed like a good deal.

I was the person complaining about the washed out/lightbleed effect earlier. I turned down the brightness (default is max) down to just below half and it is much better. Color isn't the best even compared to my tv but it's acceptable. The sparkly is still there but it's tolerable. I'm enjoying my time with re7. The people in the game are rendered real enough for it to feel like there's a person in front of you. It's a lot of fun and very unnerving.

having now fooled around with the psvr more this evening, it's RE7 that is causing the problems I was concerned about. There's some gray filter used that makes it look washed out. Even the black areas around screen mode parts of the game. I was fooling around in the ps4's options and the black areas are totally black.
I hope they patch that out at some point unless that filter is hiding something worse.
We may never know.

Playing Gunjack finally since I bought it during the holiday sales. Yeah it's nothing original but it's a decent amount of fun.

Got a PS VR today and am really impressed with it. I was hesitant that I would like it, but boy was I wrong! Can't wait until I get into RE7.
On question, I ocassionally had the vr screen cut to black briefly while playing the demos. It only cut out for a second, and was back. Is this normal? Or is there something I can do to minimize this? It happened like 4 times in the couple hours I played Thanks!

Played the COD VR game, that's absolutely awesome and looks cleaner than the EVE demo.
Still enjoying carnival VR, and got a chance to play werewolves within a few times, pretty cool but god I'm awful at lying.
To above post:
I've had the odd black screen both through normal play and in VR on my pro, interestingly I never had it on my original PS4 with VR, it is totally random and I believe some people have solved it turning off HDCP.
Hopefully Sony fix it with a firmware update as it can be very annoying.

So has there been any progress on the screen drifting issue? It's a bit of a concern of mine regarding the psvr

I have played RE7 in VR the last three nights, and have really been struggling with motion sickness. After about an hour of play I have to stop, and the nausea continues to linger for hours afterwards.
I tried both the snap and smooth movement, both of which still eventually make me nauseous. It's really disappointing as I had really been having a great time in my shorts stints with it in VR. Sadly I may have to finish it without....

Just sat down to play RE7. Just took off the headset and it's an hour and a half later... I seriously thought I was in for a max of 30 minutes. Absolutely incredible game. This is the VR killer app.
Having a bit of an issue though. I get "micro wobble" on the headset. Basically if I'm trying to look at an object I picked up or if I'm trying to read something on a wall, my viewpoint is constantly wobbling in tiny increments in random directions. It's very miniscule movements... almost like a vibration.
Anyone have this or know how to fix it?
(It's not my head shaking)

No real fix other than power cycling the PSVR Box and a fresh boot of the PS4.
Also try to leave the headset on a flat surface facing the way you'll sit for at least 30seconds when you first switch it on.
Still hoping for a FW fix eventually.
Check for reflective or IR sources exposed to the camera

It told me I was in for two hours but looking at other streams up to the point I finally "noped" out, I made 20 minutes of progress if that.
I'm gonna finish the game 100% in VR, I just have to work myself up to it.
Strictly anecdotal but since I had to put my camera in a room with limited space I had bad judder until I mounted it high up on the wall (so high that standing up it can't even see the bottom headset lights unless I look up) and that helped considerably. I still get some occasional movement in static scenes but nowhere near the level I had before. I also completely darken the room and have the tv off which might be helping?
You have to have the camera to use VR at all.
You can play Batman with the gamepad but it's not ideal. (Also you should know it's only about half an hour long.)
Camera is mandatory. Move controllers are optional. Highly recommended for Batman though.

The camera tracks the lights on the headset, so at the very least, you need that.
If you want to play Batman the proper way, with full hand tracking, you then need 2 Move controllers. IMO just stick with the VR stuff and RE7. Batman is like an hour long.
