Can they be any less creative with the name? rolleyes.gif

Hopefully this is no more than $299, that's the sweet spot IMO.

Yeah not a lot of zing in the name but their naming has never been think-out-of-the-box blow-your-mind (ps move, eye, etc).

For the sweet pricing sweet spot - I am comparing to what I'd need to spend on the PC equivalent Oculus - which I read was demanding (min: I5, gtx 970 above...) - which is why I am more excited for VR on PS4 - since there is no additional investment required for CPU, GPU, PSU, RAM.

but then you'll get limited content compared to Oculus on PC, whereas the PC mod base is almost infinite and anything is possible.

while on PS VR, you're limited to the contents approved by Sony only.

Very true - could be a risk also investing in PS VR and having restricted choices of content.

Makes you wish for a cross-platform VR hmd - but then ... wishful thinking.

I've tried stereo-gaming with Nvidia 3d vision on the PC - I'm curious how the experience compares with a VR hmd...

Tested the ps vr at The Curve.
Here my mini review, tried 2 games. 1 is a spaceship shooting game (forgot the name) and The London Heist.

Pros
-well built and light
-quite comfortable even when wearing glasses (I wear glasses when i tried the ps vr)
-quite responsive
-Very immersive. Tested The London Heist, does really feel like sitting inside the van.

Cons
-no built in headset
-graphic quality not good
-Slight motion sickness after playing
-The London Heist game required PS move controller but the move controller were not provided at the demo.

Agreed on all points except - motion sickness was not a problem for me luckily and didn't notice 'London Heist' -damn. But the underwater demo was impressive!

I think I may have been expecting too much after being so used to HD panels and very sharp NVidia 3d vision - this iteration of VR is in the right step design wise but the I just can't get over the graphics quality - despite minimal screen-door effect - it was still quite blurry with some aliaising.

The sense of scale was amazing but long term its going need a killer app/game otherwise it becomes a short-lived gimmick.

I wonder about how this compares with rift and vive - is blurry graphics an issue with these two?

I always try imagine that i'm really walking, not just sitting and staring at the screen. That helps a bit for me.

I was fine with the demo for 30 mins - using pie chart movements.

But a day later, I had some nausea within 1 minute using smooth turns - it was after dinner.

And wow - this is quite a revelation ... i think the problem is the disconnect between what your're seeing (moving) vs what is actually happening to your body (seated) in the brain. Will try imagining i'm walking.

It'll help if they enable to wobble (greyed out) during walk - it will really help to imagine myself walking even better.

I found playing on an empty stomach or after food has digested gives better results - i managed 30 mins on smooth movement.

Not really, where did you heard that from? That's a big fat lie.

I think what he means is that the graphic quality on 1st gen PS4 won't be as sharp as on the Pro - it will probably run smooth, but not look as good as on Pro.
VR is mostly better on the Pro as I experienced.

Just got message that Farpoint bundle arrived at Gamers hideout.

Received my bundle today,but for some reason it came unsealed? Did anyone else get theirs without some sort of standard seal which is usually at the top part of the box which u have to slice through?

Not such a big deal considering it's impossible for it to be old stock or anything like that,but still annoyed that some shop assistant might've been playing around with it like a few days ago sweat.gif

Still haven't got a chance to try it out since I'm away from my console atm sad.gif

Got mine at Gamer's Hideout - also no seal/sticker - but everything was new - game was shrink wrapped - you would know if it was tampered with - the soft foam wrap would be wrinkled a bit.
