You know... that's an April Fool's statement right?

Although it's generally obvious the PS4 isn't fast enough for demanding games to be running on VR specs.

I pre-ordered Vive. Go big or don't go.

I like Sony's PSVR implementation, but the Move controllers just suck total balls (pun intended). The processing unit for the PSVR has no processing power at all btw. It cannot add any graphical power a game needs. Interpolation yes.

Lol I'm not even planning to keep the Vive for longer than 3 years man. VR is in such an infant state that neither Oculus, Vive or PSVR today will be relevant to their counterparts in a few years time.

"Lifespan" means nothing for any of these VR headsets currently.

Huh? What kind of a question is that?

The PSVR is made to and must be working with all PS4s. What do you mean "old"?

If that's the case, then it's a no brainer question isn't it? The neo hasn't even been shown off yet and won't be until after the PSVR release.

As expected, the PSVR is a poor-man's VR. The latency on the DS4 (and pretty much the move) is just too high IMO. It's like the Wii all over again.

I have a Vive, so coming from that is like going back to PS2 levels of archaic immersion. Yeah sure the PSVR is much cheaper, but I fail to see or even be at least impressed with the current state of it.

And the sub-1080p games up close just look bad, just bad.

I won't say it's bad, rather it's uninspiring. I fully understand that to make the comparison between a product that costs twice the price is not fair.

But at the same time, if PSVR wants to be poised as the entry point for everyone in regards to VR gaming, then the PSVR isn't quite up to the mark even if it's the cheapest option now. Doesn't matter if it drops to RM1k either, the PS4 itself is just lacking.

Don't gila bro. 6-8 hours of VR and you'll end up in the hospital.

Well for me personally, no. Even on my Vive I can barely last for an hour and that's with significantly higher FPS.

But logically speaking, 6-8 hours of VR is pretty insane. Not even a dedicated VR playtester does more than 1 hour at a time.

That's why most VR games coming out are what you would call: "short games".

RE7 though? Well, that's why the game allows the user to play in normal 2D mode when fatigue kicks in.


I think the price is right. Not sure what unrealistic expectation people are having for the price, like what RM1.2k or even less? Everyone would end up with an even shittier VR experience.

Clearly the PS4.5 is made for the PSVR. Sony probably doesn't want to admit this, considering how successful the PS4 has been thus far; sales wise.

...suddenly become a politic-inspired post?

Nice derailment man.
Comparing x country to y country will still get you no where. Want to change, then migrate and do something about it. But that's easier said than done right?

I think the PSVR is priced right. But my earlier opinion stands, for what it does currently; it's uninspiring at its current state.

Most if not all PSVR games will be playable with the DS4. The Movie is an optional thing purchase, thankfully (because it truly sucks).

Table, on top of TV, on the floor, on the wall... it doesn't matter where you mount it. What matters is that the camera has a direct line of sight to the lights on the PSVR, the DS4 and the Move.



Which is what I said over a month back. PSVR's major hurdle is the tracking of its peripherals. The Move is simply not accurate enough. But people just simply don't agree either ways. Guess what? Now the truth is out of the sack, which isn't even news in the first place anyways as the Move was only barely okay back in the PS3 days.


Take note; PSVR works best when you (the player) with the PSVR headset is within 5-6 feet from the camera with no objections in between. Remember the demos in KLCC, Curve and Mid Valley? What did they have in common? Distance to the camera is within 5 feet. This is the key for accurate head tracking.

Now unfortunately for many households, AFAIK the common sitting distance between the player and the TV is usually up to 7-10 feet. Sony's recommendation is to have a maximum of 9.8ft from the player and the camera (which is barely only applicable even in a dark room). Then the next problem is the Move and DS4, which only has 1 point of light source versus the multiple points on the PSVR headset. Add that in and you'll get an inconsistent tracking experience.

Tldr: Sit within 5 feet from the camera, with no objects in between. Tracking will at least be as good as in a controlled-condition as per Sony's requirements. Unfortunately for the Move and DS4, it will never provide 1:1 tracking no matter what you do.

For VR to go mainstream, it is a start. It's neither a blessing or a curse. It will be a few more generations before VR can truly take over traditional 2D gaming experiences.

Movies on VR will forever be a niche unfortunately, even if it'll be a succesful one.

2 months+ to CES 2017 guys. Hold your wallets.

4k TVs. Out of topic perhaps.

It's not the matter of design complexity, it's the matter of logistics and materials cost.

8k TVs below 75" are pointless. So the only way up is to keep going bigger. The sharp 8k TV is actually a mediocre TV, all it has going is the resolution and size. But everything else from backlight, panel, processors, and so on are just subpar stuff. It's not cheap to have a 75" TV or larger to employ many of the features in mid-high range TVs of today.

Logistics wise, the bigger you go the bigger the headache for shipping, the bigger the problem for packaging, the more electronic chain stores have to plan and spend on manpower to send and install TVs of larger magnitudes.

So one thing at a time, resolution isn't everything.

But let's stop going off topic.

Just popping in here to say that RE7 + VR = the number 1 reason to buy PSVR and new pants for CNY.

All I can say without spoilers is that if you play RE7 for too long with VR at one go, it CAN literally mess with you mental state. It's not funny after that.

RE7 is easier in VR than in 2D mode actually. There's an adjustment to difficulty and AI. At least, that's my experience so far.

Easier does not mean you won't die though. Just more like you're likely to die less due to VR controls.
