Wheel arrived, had a few rounds on Driveclub VR, non vr racing games are now dead to me, it's a million times better.

Picked up Driveclub VR, Pixel Gear, Lethal VR and The Brookhaven Experiment in the PS Store Winter Sale.

How are people rating these. I tried the S6 vr and know it can't be compare the same but I wasn't thst impressed with it. How is the screen door effect on this compared to it. I only have the regular slim model as well, is it worth it still.

I was someone who dismissed PSVR even though I enjoyed Gear VR and knew VR worked well. But that PSVR price was just too much.

In the end I found one for £240 delivered with a V1 camera and pair of Moves which seemed a good deal.

It's fair to say that PSVR is pretty good and although it could be better in a few ways (heavy cable, space letting in light on bottom of headset, resolution isn't great), the immersion is incredible. Batman is the standout for me but Superhot and Farpoint with the AIM controller are also pretty good.

I've just got RE7 delivered so I might get a go of that tonight depending on time.

Also grabbed some games off the store with the sale being on. Rush Of Blood, Thumper, Batman and Tumble are ones that I can remember. I'd quite like Headmaster but waiting for a sale on it.

Can someone let me know how Superhot is please, many seem to be having tracking problems.

Thanks

Yes slim works fine . No screen door problems on psvr.

Spent a couple of hours on this, no tracking problems that were not fixed by just hitting the option key to re-center.

I've noticed screen door effect occasionally on dark scenes but on the whole it's pretty good

Just had my first go on farpoint with the aim controller, most fun I have had gaming in ages

Wouldn't mind trying that if it was in stock anywhere, i'm not paying £100+ for it.

I know what you mean, I paid £109 but only because I had a free copy of farpoint to trade in already so cost me £89, still higher than the retail price I know but I could just about stomach that

could not find a single retail anywhere with stock, at the mo they are going for silly money on flea bay

Been looking for ages to get farpoint but no stock ever shows up. Ebay is the only place at around £100 which isn't bad but its still ripping people off. Why is there no stock??

i think some traders relised the shortage and held them back to flog on the bay

I got mine from Game in Liverpool for £75, they'd just gotten stock in store.

This is what I say to people, yeah the first go you notice the graphics aren't perfect, but after a session nailing some time trials with a wheel, seat and VR the immersion ruins any other way of playing driving games.
