Ps4 VR anything i need to know before purchase.

Argos has the VR starter kit, set of Moves and a choice of 1 game (including astro bot) for 229.

I must say I have never been tempted until now but will I use it?

I guess even once the novelty wears off you can turn it back around for sale at a slight loss for the experiance

My thoughts too. Like the ps move I had for the ps3 never really played it much but kept all the bits. As already have the controllers thought it’s worth the punt, but VR looks a lot better than what ps move was back then

Farpoint
Firewall zero hour
Rush of blood
VR world's is worth picking up second hand, it's good but like a glorified demo disc

Do you have the aim controller ? I can pick the aim controller and firewall for 45 quid locally ? Is it worth it ? I would have preferred farpoint as I don’t have time for multiplayer gaming at the moment.

True.

I think it would be more compelling if I hadn't already played RE7 to completion elsewhere

Yep, and works pretty good, the good thing with firewall is rounds are only 5 minutes so you can jump in and have a quick half hour session if short on time.
I would go with the firewall + aim controller and pick up farpoint second hand if buying today or Mabe there will be some black Friday deals on the playstore

Not so long ago I would have probably agreed with his comment but I feel psvr is only now getting going, I have played nothing but psvr for the last 4 months, I think early adopters that gave up on it are missing out now

Worth an impulse buy?

I say it on all these threads, driving games with a seat, wheel and VR are another level of immersion.

Resident Evil is definitely worth a go in VR.

I bought a PSVR 4 days ago and it's been a blast, most immersive and refreshing experience I've had in my ~30 years of gaming.

There are actually a lot more PSVR titles than I realised and I've already bought 10+ due to the current sale on the PS store.

Will it last in the long term? I don't know but with the current bundle deals I think it's a fantastic time to pick one up.

Astrobot is fantastic, Beat Saber is the most fun I've had in a rhythm game and even shorter/simpler games like Headmaster are almost guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

I don't see that VR/3D really has much place for films but I'm definitely a convert that for gaming they bring a different experience.

This is sooooo true

Be wary of advertising. What you see through the goggles is nothing like those video clips game studios post up on Facebook etc. What your mates/family see on the TV screen looks good though. When they sort the res out it will be much better. Immersion's worth jack all if the world you're in resembles a 1990s 16 bit games console.

I don't agree with that at all, get the goggles in the right place and the graphics are more than good enough to feel immersive. I say that as someone who usually games on a 65" 4K OLED.

On launch there were only a couple of games worth playing but there are at least 15-20 games well worth playing and most people will find at least another 5 that appeal to them. Throw in the games with online multiplayer or local co-op/party modes and you have months of entertainment.

Haha. I was initially concerned about the resolution, as I had heard a fair few comments like this. However it's not that bad at all.

It's not crystal clear, and some games look a bit rougher than others. But overall, I think it's absolutely fine. Especially considering the cost compared against the bigger pc sets.

I do agree that once the resolution is better, it will make for a better experiance but so far it's not bothered me as much as I thought it would. Astrobot looks really clear, Resident evil 7 looks very jaggy. The Devs can make the games look great, given the time
