When you buy vr do you get the demos included or was it a limited time demo pack?

Mangochutney · 30 Oct 2016 at 09:43

You get a disc with demos on but I just downloaded them.

That's really bad of Game, they should be trying to drive sales by showing it off and giving demos. Lot of people and parents in particular probably have little knowledge of what it is.

I heard about this the other day. Surely it goes against Sony's licencing agreement? They need to be very careful imo.

Edit. Just read Sonys stance. It's down to the retailers discretion apparently.

Yeah I walked in to GAME, started talking to the VR demo guy, put my shopping bags down to have a go then he said "so that's £5 for the demo" at which point I quickly picked up the bags again

Pretty much the same for me, given the over inflated prices they charge you would think they would bend over backwards for a sale.

The download includes more games than the disc. bit bizzare.

Well I think for me the fad ended quite quickly and I have now sold on my PSVR.

Just listening to one of my gaming podcasts and they was saying how all of a sudden no one is hardily taking about the PSVR anymore.

It's the only thing that gets played round mine. Best social gaming option around! Anyone tried the bomb diffusing game? Good reviews.

Is that the keep talking and nobody explodes game? I havent tried it but just watched a video, could be ok.

Still loving my PSVR

couldn't get rid of it with things like Res Evil coming.

No fad here, mainly playing driveclub and tethered

Great news !

Driveclub VR
Playstation VR Worlds
Playroom VR
Until Dawn : Rush of Blood

All have (or will be) optimised for the forthcoming PS4 Pro - any ideas what the specific enhancements are for each game ?

Also Battlezone, for that they said:

adds increased supersampling resolution, improved dynamic lighting in the Cobra cockpit, and increased reflective lighting resolution.

VincentHanna · 4 Nov 2016 at 10:47

Probably either more Anti-aliasing or multi-resolution shading:

On top of this, we now understand that the Pro GPU includes custom hardware for accelerating virtual reality. While we're still chasing down the precise detail here, logical steps forward would be akin to what we've seen in Nvidia's hardware - stereo geometry processing, and multi-resolution shading. The latter in particular is a big deal: it would allow Pro developers to concentrate GPU resources on elements of the scene that are actually visible, as opposed to fully processing the periphery of the viewport, with resolution literally wasted in the final lens warp.
