So who's going to buy The Forest?

I wonder if the price will go up when it releases VR support.

Never heard of it before the VR announcement but looks very interesting.

Holy crap it's hard to keep up with all the quality VR releases lately. Haven't spent so much on gaming as I have this past year.

I'm gonna let y'all onto a little secret.

I've been playing a game the past few months that has a monthly competition to win Amazon gift cards just by placing in the top 3 (sometimes in the top 5 depending on the month). The thing is, hardly anyone is playing it so winning is actually pretty simple with little effort.

So far I've won $55 worth of gift cards, just for playing a couple of hours a month, and I've ended up using those to buy PSN points to use against PSVR purchases. I ended up winning another $25 last night by coming first!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/500110/Glider_Island/

I bought the game when it was on sale (it's only €7.99 normal retail though) and I've basically been getting free PSVR games for the past 3 months.

You'd easily earn prizemoney covering the cost of the game. I feel bad that I'm taking this money from the dev all the time (he's a nice bloke!) so thought to spread the word to get more involved.

If any of you decide to pick it up I'll give you some tips on getting into the top three to win the prizemoney, and I'll hold off on trying to get the top spot again cuz it feels wrong

Gilder Island is €4.79 till May 28

Just sayin is all. You'll win the money back and more... after this month I'm gonna stop playing as I've taken about $70 from the poor dev.

So was there much VR related news at e3? I see a Wolfenstein and Prey game, but there was nothing from PSVR, was there?

Jerichoholic · 12-06-2018 2:01pm

There was couple, From Software have something about a Fairy and some Rick and Morty unfunny trash. Neither look like much.

Only Beat Saber, Tetris and the Rick and Morty spin off game thingy.

But they have released more trailers stealthily on their youtube channel.

Ill compile them now and put them in the PSVR thread.

Evening all! Couple of weeks back I upgraded to a pro and Im highly tempted by psvr during the sale.
Ive only ever tried google carboard. How does psvr stack up? Is it worth it?
I plan on playing games in cinematic mode. That worthwhile?
Also which game should i get free superhot or wipeout?

Yes it's worth it.. particularly on a Pro.

Superhot is a stand up "feel like Neo in Matrix" game. Maybe a bit short.

Also needs the Move controllers.

Wipeout is a sit down "feel like you're on a rollercoaster" racer. Lots of replayability.

Google Cardboard vs PSVR, is like comparing watching F1 on a TV to actually being in the F1 car yourself.

Whats it like playing non VR games on?
In cinema mode or whatever its called

Pretty cool, plus u can watch 3D BluRays

NIMAN · 15-06-2018 9:40am

Not sure if its been mentioned in any of the forums here, but it appears you can watch the BBC World Cup games on a PSVR

Is it defo not region-restricted?

Jerichoholic · 15-06-2018 12:47pm

It's unclear yet. I got it from the UK account, nobody knows if it will work outside UK yet. First BBC game is today at 4, so we'll know then.

NIMAN · 15-06-2018 12:49pm

Keep us updated....working.

I did a quick search on my PS account, which is an Irish one, and it doesn't seem to be showing as available for download.

Would love to try it out.

You should open a GB account as the prices are generally cheaper for games given the conversion rate (plus you can often get great deals on sterling PS credit).

When a sale happens on the Irish store it happens on GB too.

Jerichoholic · 15-06-2018 2:01pm

Have my UK account on but no football in the app. I think they're on to us.

Is it possible to create a UK account when you're based in Ireland?

If so, does your PS4 know what country it's in?

I'd love to try it out. Is it possible to have a UK and RoI account on the same PS4?

TacoMan · 16-06-2018 4:35pm

I'd guess that even if you're using a UK account, your Playstation's Irish ip address will still be detected, blocking access to the app.

It's a pity, was looking forward to trying it out.

Might be able to alter the ip address if you're on PC/Oculus.

Yes to all 3.

So you think it should be possible to get that BBC VR app up and running, or not?

No idea. Think it's region restricted.

Just out of curiosity anyone know of decent VR review sites or channels?

Reddit is just a spamfest for this stuff

PSVR without Parole seems to be the only decent all rounder. Need to deal with Americanisms though.

Edit: sorry, thought this was the psvr thread.
