I guess every platform forum needs one of these topics
Thumper continues to be an absolute hit with me. It started simple and chill but by level 4 it became a full on arcade gaming experience - and that's less than halfway through!
Even though there's not much use of VR in there, other than 3D graphics (literally no controller tracking, head tracking not affecting the gameplay in any way), it's becoming one my favorite gaming experiences in some time. Seems like plenty of replayability too, if you want the S ranks (I can only imagine how hard that will be in the latter levels).
Moss got patched today - I haven't seen the patch notes but I understand this fixes some progression blockers (which I haven't encountered personally) as well as the chapter select screen after finishing the game - the latter meaning I will be going back to mop up some trophies tonight.
I also need to get back to Horizon as I really liked my first hour with it - but that seems somewhat more time consuming so I'll save that for the weekend.
I'm also hearing great things about Pistol Whip and I wanna try Synth Riders while there's no Beat Saber. So much gaming and so little time!
Can I derail the thread and say what psvr games I'm playing? (Just shout if not cool and I will delete my comment).
Playing Table of tales. Just started this and blown away about how much I like it, didn't think the genre was for me. This is a bit like demeo I guess.
Doom 3. Lots of fun and that is just with the dual shock. Everyone has a small head though so I don't think psvr is for them.
Skyworld. Bought it as it was super cheap in a psn sale. Unsure ATM.
And will return to Moss at some point.
Has anyone tried Cactus cowboy?
It is free to play, single player and no additional MTX or DLC that I know of.
It looks fairly basic but fun and seems to have the mechanics right.
GT7 - which has been amazing, though the screen resolution makes objects far away look fuzzy - makes we want to go to the optometrist and get new glasses - lol A couple of amazing experiences: racing online in just about anything is fantastic; Suzuka in an SF19 car (GT7 equivalent of formula1 car) is incredible and much more intuitive than same car/track on a flat screen; driving the Mercedes CLK GT2 car - feels like the car is wrapped around you.
Gran Turismo, though I'm not normally a fan of driving games, but it's fun in VR.
And Rez despite the simplistic visuals, is still fun to play in VR.
Beyond that i'm not getting much use - I knew buying it on day 1 means a long wait for a supply of good games to build up.
I love the opening of the demo of Horizon Call Of The Mountain just as a showcase of how wonderful VR can look - sadly I don't like the game (find the climbing really tedious in the demo, and according to reviews, that's what most of the gameplay consists of).
Looking forward to seeing what VR support Resident Evil 4 gets.
And a trailer for an obscure upcoming VR game called Journey To Foundation looks potentially interesting to me.
Hey. Right now, I'm playing a lot of Beat Saber on my PSVR2. It's a super fun game that keeps me moving and grooving. I also recently picked up PokerStars VR, which has some of the best cash games around. I love being able to play poker with people from all over the world without leaving my living room. What about you? What PSVR2 game are you currently into? Btw, I'm new here, guys, so let's chat and see if we have any games in common.
@NeonPizza Nice selection of games there, I'm still on psvr 1 (playing Borderlands 2 which is so so good) and I was hoping that the recent showcase would push me over the edge to get psvr 2 but alas it didn't although re4 looks really good.
I've heard lots of good things about Light Brigade and it is nice to see how people didn't think much of it when revealed but have changed their tune. It was also supposed to be coming to PSVR1, not sure if that has quietly been cancelled....I can't find any info on it.
As for fishermans tale, that is installed waiting for me.
I'm interested in puzzling places as well, that has a free upgrade.
I would be interested in your thoughts about What the bat, people's opinions on it seem a bit diversive.
According to the play timer I'm well over 100h into NMS, and I don't see it slowing down from cannibalizing all other VR2 games lol. It's one of those things that feels like it was designed for VR even if it wasn't. I've started remote playing in 2D sometimes just to keep up with grabbing my daily crops/mission farming/emptying the gold mine, and the game feels so much clunkier in 2D with regular menus at the like. It just needs VR, free hand control so much! I think I'd play it all again when I run out of things to do. It's just such a fun VR world to live in. If I had this and could get Skyrim back in VR2 I'd be happy with only those I think.
Really need to get the Dyschronia part 3 finale this month though. Darned episodic releases!
@NeonPizza You finally got Light Brigade, huh? Great game, and I don't even like rogue-likes! The shooting just feels so good in it, and it has such great atmosphere despite a relatively simple art style.
Yeah the headset itself seems pretty nice, though I wonder if it's still crummy compression with wired mode (not that I have a gaming PC at this point to connect it to lol. ) But it comes back to the performance factor. PS5 is barely enough to do VR right, right now, a PS4 just....isn't. "A little more power than a PS4" isn't saying much, the PS4 was garbage in 2013 what with the silly little 2012 tablet CPU. I remember PSVR1 on a base PS4....I don't want to pay Zuck $400 to relive the magic. Though, honestly, I don't expect the generic snapdragon/Android setup to really do as well as PS4 did with what it had. And they still have that head-torture S&M strap thing going. chills
Optically it looks nice, form factor looks nice, but that's about all that looks like an upgrade vs PSVR2. The uptick though is if it manages to hit success that should mean the quality baseline of "quest ports" on VR2 should increase dramatically. Now if it got NMS with cross-saves with PS.....I'd buy two for the portability and then I can truly go full Rainman off in my own world flying in outer space as onlookers stand aghast.
Price, though. The PSVR2 has a hard time justifying it's much higher price point even among PS5 owners, while PS5 adoption should have assured it was the easier sell. Sony Tax fail!
@NeonPizza Cheers for all the info, very helpful.
watching the Meta showcase, hoping for some "also on" psvr2 games, just seen Bulletstorm VR...loved that game.
@NeonPizza I can't quite be bothered with playing "catch the latest tech thingie" these days. They all have good things, they all have bad things, and I think trying to catch 'em all is worse than trying to collect all the consoles because they're mostly just different ways of doing the same thing. The Quest 3 sounds like it lands where I thought it would. A really nice optical kit, hamstrung by being, unavoidably, a lackluster tech kit. Ideal if you don't have a PS5, but just a sidegrade if you do. I wouldn't rule one out if it developed a very different software library to the PSVR2 but if it's largely duplicative I can't see splashing out on one to get the same thing with lower spec rendering, for better optics with a worse screen.
Apple....yeah....I know you're excited about that one. I think you're the only person excited about that one No doubt the hardware will be nice, but at that price point that's rumored it's not even a non-starter, it's a non-whatever-comes-before-the-starter. Seems more like a really expensive proof of concept prototype destined to be somewhat ignored, sell to a commercial niche, a tiny enthusiast niche, then someday be replaced by the real production model that matters (or be scrapped entirely.) Because it's Apple it'll get some software support, but I can't see gaming being the target market they're investing in for a $3000 toy. Seems like an enterprise/medical/government kind of machine to me that just happens to draw the super-enthusiasts to it as well.
But at that price point, if I were going to spend that much on a VR kit (I'm not), I'd actually rather just build a high end gaming PC and use a Quest 3 or something. I'm all for enhanced optics, but I think for gaming, the Apple goes very overkill on the optics beyond what it's actual performance can deliver, vs much better performance with very sufficient optics of a PCVR setup. Sure you can get both, the high end PC and the high end Apple kit but at $6000+ for a gaming system.......that's.....reaaaally extreme. Could remodel a kitchen for that
Last week I finally tried Beat Saber and yeah, it's pretty great.
I have to agree that the slightly buggy haptic feedback thing (controllers occasionally not vibrating when you hit a cube) is a bit distracting, so I do hope that will be fixed soon, but it hardly makes the game any less enjoyable.
Gonna play some more later today.
Apparently Beat Saber just got a patch that improves the haptics on VR2 so I'll be playing some more of that tomorrow...
I've been going through the campaign levels and man, some of them get pretty hard...
I'm back on PSVR 2 and been playing mainly Gran Turismo 7 and seeing if I can be quick in VR. I did manage to get a gold medal time on the Suzuka circuit experience, so that's a good start. Resident Evil 4 in VR is a great experience as well, the reloading mechanic is fun even if I completely forgot how to do it in a blind panic during the village fight
Older than I care to remember but have been gaming since owning a wooden Atari 2600 and played pretty much everything inbetween.
