I'll get it when I get paid soon, I really want us to play a single game together and at least with that game, it doesn't matter if you are up for PSVR at the moment or not. It's a good game.

The atmosphere and the graphics are okay, but it's pretty disappointing. It's short (less than 90 minutes), it's repetitive and it's probably the most linear game I played in the last few years.
I wouldn't say it's horrible, but it's really hard to recommend it unless you just love to use the PSVR and want to feel like you are in a giant labyrinth (which doesn't even look like one).
argh, I'm still extremely worried that they will refuse on repairing/replacing it. I don't mind paying for a repair but I can't afford a new one for sure. I read through a lot of terms and condition for warranty policies and in some countries, they will require certain amount of dead pixel for the warranty to work. But that was only stated in the Australia Sony T&C. I checked through the entire PlayStation Asia PSVR T&C and Sony Asia T&C couldn't find anything suggesting that, so that's kind of a relief. Contacted the support through facebook, phone, and my local service center, none of them have any clue about the policies stuff. All they've said is: bring the device here and a receipt, we'll send it to the main service center. Since it was sent in yesterday, hopefully that means they're indeed going to fix/replace it.

I would hope that as a new product Sony replace it, I have to say that I've had a good experience recently with them. I purchased a 4K TV from them and it had a single stuck pixel on it, when speaking with Currys who I bought from they refused to do anything about it stating it required at least 5 dead pixels in a certain location for them to replace. I tweeted images to Sony of the single pixel and they arranged a replacement with zero fuss at all.

Nah, Sony PSVR support is really good when it comes to replacements, my breakout box died 2 months ago and they sent me a brand new PSVR and breakout box in less than two weeks. I wouldn't be too worry.
That's kind of a relief to hear, and I've heard nothing but great things on hardware warranties by Sony, but here's the tricky part, you guys are either from US/EU, where companies take customer support seriously with actual technical people to provide help.
Hopefully that's the case for Asia too, but customer support tends to be terrible around here. Although, I got my PS4 Pro repaired in a week for its disc drive failure and they told me there was a previous case for PSVR warranty where they replace the whole thing.

That looks very cool. I was under the (incorrect) impression that Ark Park was more of an 'experience' - like a dino petting zoo. Very happy to see some actual gameplay in there.
Thanks for sharing. Very high on my radar now.

Is it enjoyable while sitting?

Every time I ask about ARK Park on Twitter, some troll is there to talk about how its performance is not-so hot on PC, so expecting it to be good on PSVR is a pipe dream. I hope they're wrong and the devs pull it together. Jurassic Park will never be real, but having something like it in VR makes my inner child giggle.Did not expect this out of Ark Park (Watch until the end)

Ark Park is built from ground up by a completely different dev team. It has nothing to do with the main Ark game except for the brand name.
Nice, maybe the VR experience will be decent then!

Hopefully it comes out decent.
So it looks like Theseus is up on PSN, $19.99. Interestingly it has four reviews so far resulting in a 3-out-of-5 rating. I remember a few posters saying it was on the ho-hum side and pretty short. The trailers make it look awesome, I guess that's what trailers are for though.
How many VR games have had their own OT's at this point? I know of three:
RE7 PSVR impressions
Lone Echo |OT|
Edge of Nowhere |OT|

Wow. I wasn't expecting that! I thought it was all educational, almost zoo-like.
IIRC this was one of, if not the, first confirmed PS VR games.
After playing Robinson: The Journey recently I'm optimistic. It has some good detail in the environment and dinosaur models.
I never played while sitting down but I doubt it. This is a very active game where you will be doing all kinds of moving, You will probably die a lot sitting down.

I love throwing the guns from area to area in Superhot VR.

Yeah they said it's because of Unity and the PS4's weak ass CPU
It looks fine on the original PS4. Superhhot is very basic graphically.
Don't think its fully possible, its probably the game that require the most space to play.
I mean you could definitely try, but youd likely be falling out of your seat to complete anything.

yeah was not expecting that, could be very cool. Was it always planned to be like this?(as its always been billed as just a more or less experience, as far as I know), or did they just add this along the way to make it more interesting?
GT Sport PSVR gameplay.

That looks very close to Dirt Rally/Drive Club...
They couldn't achieve full match race with that graphic? Come on. I was expecting a super beautiful VR game since it's 1v1.

Actually, the draw distance is pretty impressive for PSVR and some minor details but I agree at the very least they could do 2v2.

Looks way easier with the wider track and lack of obstacles on the side of the road

Look at the dashboard of the car. Hopefully what you see in the headset is closer to that.
Just PS4, that's why we need more players.

Looks pretty good. Is that footage on a regular PS4 or a Pro, though?

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
CPU has no impact on resolution.
Bound is similarly basic graphically and has vastly better image quality.
I think it looks decent, but I also think these kind of games are still not ready for VR.
We need more power to have a nice graphic for today standards.
Physic, details, etc... it's still too early. Nice to have them though to taste what we can expect in the future.
FingerBang

This is so true. We need better HMDs, but before that, we need more power.
I think we should have AT LEAST 4K resolution to really appreciate a modern game with good draw distance, and probably not even a 1080ti would be able to keep a high enough frame rate at the moment.
You can have good graphics (Infinite Minigolf, Bound, Rigs and so on), but you need compromises.

Yep these machines simply aren't powerful enough at the moment. That's not to say I don't love what we are getting, but you're not going to get a fully fledged Gran Turismo running in VR on the consoles we have available, I'm not even sure something like the One X would have the grunt required either.

https://www.reddit.com/r/PSVR/comments/6q2p5e/you_asked_for_it_chromagun_is_coming_to_psvr_any/Hey everybody,
thank you all so much for the tons of really kind mails you sent to us, following of this post last week: https://www.reddit.com/r/PSVR/comments/6ongjh/chromagun_dev_wants_to_be_spammed_for_psvr/
After some talks with Sony, we've decided to give the PSVR port a go!
*We can't 100% guarantee it will make it to the store. As a small indie studio, we have to be economical, unfortunately – so if the port turns out to be too expensive, we might have to cancel it. However, I'd say we have a pretty good idea of how much work it's going to be, and right now it's looking good.
Now to the important part – as PSVR players, do you have any tips for us? Is there anything you'd like to see? What awesome things did other games do right, that you'd like to see in more games? Do you perhaps know any VR-developers that did a really good job, we should talk to?
Thanks again for your support, you all!
Take care, Ben

Regarding graphics. Do you think guys that VR will take a huge boost with foveated rendering?
If it is 10% of the screen in the full resolution I suppose that they could produce far better graphics. On par with flat screen or better(?). And even better frame rate.
Am I very optimistic?

Fixed foveated rendering has already been used in some games. I seem to remember it being in Driveclub VR and Batman Arkham VR on base PS4, but was removed for the Pro versions.

Fixed foveated reduces quality. Foveated rendering will increase massively(?) image quality and frame rate I suppose.

I am still having wobbly movements whenever I turn left or right. This started happening a few months ago. Lighting never changed. Already did everything I can do with the adjustments but still no improvement. Should I bring this to Sony or is there something else I am missing?

Totally disagree. Playing Dirt Rally in VR with a wheel and pedals has been a revelation, by far the best thing i have played in VR to date.
I was disappointed in Driveclub but rally works so much better with everything being so much closer to you with the winding tracks, drifting around the hairpin turns in a wooded forest is fantastic and being in VR really heightens how good the physics engine is.

Nah to the 4k thing - driveclub doesn't suffer because of the 1080P screen, it's the res the game is rendered at that doesn't live up to the headset's capabilities. If the ps4 could generate a huge framebuffer and sub-sample it'd look georeous. An equivalent to a 1080ti bolted on to a ps4 would only go so far - it's the CPU that's appallingly archaic in this setup.

Absolutely, played it from start to finish sitting down, no problems whatsoever. It's only playable with Dual Shock 4 so the camera won't lose track of it anyway. I hear it's even more immersive when standing up, gonna have to try that for my next playthrough.
