Playing Arkham VR without the Move controllers is madness, don't do it. Definitely agree with this having now completed it with the Move controllers and in a standing position. The ability to wander around (within a limited area) adds to the immersion but the bit that freaked me out the most was just using the Bat Computer to view the 3d models and then getting right up in their faces. I was half expecting them to open up dialogue with me the sense of reality was that compelling. |

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2017/12/ ... -setup/#p3 Quote: Doom VFR is totally fine at best if you get to play it on PC with a full HTC Vive VR kit. On that platform, the game's satisfying Doom 2016 elements collide with underwhelming VR optimizations and a wimpy runtime of a few hours. Well, dang.
Sadly, the game has also been shoehorned onto PlayStation VR, and the results there are almost impossible to recommend. |

He discusses the problems with the Move controllers. But I'm not convinced from reading that that he's even played it with an Aim controller, he just says it'll make you sick, which it doesn't for me. The controls are a bit of a handful to be sure but after playing the training room that you start off in I was pretty much fine with it. Not even tried it since patching it either which is meant to improve some aspects. I'd recommend watching the Eurogamer video where the guy plays it with an Aim controller for a couple of hours to get a better idea. |

Thinking about it, rapid aim with vr must be quite difficult. Is the auto aim obvious? Or is it just difficult as you miss a lot? |

Well it's harder than just clicking on faces with a mouse cursor like on a PC FPS but easier than using an analog stick. But the difficulties feel more realistic, when you miss it feels like you just missed, not that you moved a cursor too far with your joystick or whatever. |

One thing they missed with Doom VFR, using the Aim controller you can turn the guns right round in your hand, but if you shoot yourself in the face, and it's impossible to not try doing it, nothing happens. |

Has anyone tried watching a 3d blu ray on the PSVR? The Lego Movie is only £3 on 3d bluray at the moment so I thought I would give it a go out of interest. Just wondered if anyone here had already tried it? I'm not sure I could watch a whole movie like that if I'm honest - the sense of isolation and not knowing what the fuck the dogs are doing for a couple of hours, let alone the comfort angle, makes me wary. |

DiRT Rally and the Driveclub demo are the only things that have made me feel a little bit squiffy in PSVR, actually. The Driveclub demo affected me a little bit at first but that went away quickly, and certainly it was never even close to how I initially felt playing RE7 or Robinson's Journey. Also I've given a load of non-gamers a go on Driveclub and none of them complained of any ill effect so I think it's generally okay. |

I really enjoy any time spent on mine and think it's more than worth the money. Please for the love of god though tell me you're not suddenly considering buying one just for a stupid little Trico related toy? Plus, depending on the spec of your PC, it could be argued you'd be much better off with a Rift given it costs about the same now. |

I thought your PC had relatively recent insides, but I'm possibly just getting confused. Fitting a gfx card is a piece of piss so I wouldn't think of that as being a barrier but yeah, if you'd need to upgrade to bring your PC up to spec then it's probably not worth it as a new card would represent most of the cost of a PSVR kit. So yeah, you should totally buy a PSVR kit. |

I absolutely love my PSVR, despite content being a bit thin this year. You definitely felt like an early adopter at times. Content seems to be picking up, so that's good. It's still scruffy -- like, thanks to Sony's throw-stuff-at-wall-and-see-what-sticks ideas, there are three different controllers you could be using, and games are still working out the right paradigms. But the good stuff (eg. SuperHot, I Expect You To Die, Batman, Job Simulator, Rush Of Blood, RE7) is enthralling. |

I've not had mine long enough to be anything other than very enamoured with it but one thing to mention is it's a much more social VR than I have experienced previously, which I like a lot. With the Gear VR you're locked in to your own little world and if you've got anyone around you they don't have much idea what's going on. Having the TV display to other people what is currently happening inside the space hat makes for a much better shared experience where her and myself have alternated goes on things and I can shout out words of advice and she can goose me when I am not expecting it because she's a sick fuck. |

I played Farpoint with the Aim Controller at the weekend. That shotgun is worth the price alone, as was the high pitched scream I let out when a spider thingy jumped straight onto my face. It was odd as at first I just stayed still in the firefights having not previously had the ability to move around but once I did casually taking out a jumping spider with the shotgun one handed is never, ever going to get old. |
