Theres an Iron Man VR pack with the moves available for pre order for €95 on Smyths. Due to be released early July if you can wait.

I can wait, that’s a great deal, thanks for letting me know.

Pistol whip out at the end of July.
Jaysus I'll be inside for the entire summer!

Great news. Been really looking forward to this one. Cheers for the heads up!

I'm going to give Dirt Rally a go in VR later. Competing in the Monte Carlo driving a Group B monster will be a challenge for sure.

Potential-Monke · 31-05-2020 08:55PM

Pistol Whip looks interesting. Superhot meets Beat Saber. I'm in!

Zero-Cool · 01-06-2020 09:41AM

So I've mostly been playing Astrobot but can anyone tell me if this kind of game helps build up resistance to motion sickness or am i better off doing short bursts of resi 7? Just trying to figure out the best way to prepare for walking dead and iron Man when i get the moves in July.

And any idea how long it takes to build resistance or is it completely dependent on the person? Like how long were you playing resi 7 before you were 'comfortable'?

There is a lot of movement in it so it would help!
Personally I found firewall with its quick burst play great. 10mins in the lobby 1 in game

Any time spent in VR will build tolerance - your brain has to separate what it expects your physical body to be doing compared to what it sees on a screen in front of it. It took me about 4-5 days with maybe 2 hours playtime a day to push through it - once you do you’ll be smooth motioning with the best of them

I played resi 7 about day 4/5 and had no problems - apart from the overall creepiness and unsettling feeling of it haha

Also as coolisin said, short burst or rounds of firewall will help too. It’s all about the separation and once your brain realises that it isn’t reality and shouldn’t expect your body to move in the same way you’ll be grand

Jordan 199 · 01-06-2020 04:18PM

I'll have to keep a watchout for Firewall. I've seen it bundled with the aim controller which I can also use with Farpoint.

Thanks lads, just the info I was looking for. I started world 5 of Astrobot last night so will finish that out and go back to Resi 7 to see the difference then.

Prey, which I thought was a decent game a few years back, looks like it could be getting a VR update.

Sitting playing Days Gone using my TV and I was moving my head going whys he not turning...

This could be interesting - I’ve had it sitting in the stack for a while but a VR mode could definitely change that. And let’s not forget it does have one of the most banging intro tunes ever....

WarZoneBrother · 02-06-2020 10:08PM

So is the Days of Play Sale still going ahead tomorrow?... Will we expect more VR titles to go on sale?.

Potential-Monke · 02-06-2020 10:47PM

I don't see anything anywhere saying it's cancelled. They might not be as into advertising it maybe, but can't see why cancelling it would make any difference.

CastorTroy · 02-06-2020 10:55PM

Thinking of trying playing while wearing contacts see how that works

Don't want to be that guy, but, same as real life! But I have astigmatism, so my contacts are about 30-50% more expensive than normal ones, so it would drive the cost of VR gaming up!

Zero-Cool · 03-06-2020 07:15AM

Yeah i purchased it and Borderlands 2 VR, I dont know how many times I have bought Borderlands 2 now at this rate..

Borderlands can be played with the Aim Controller so cant wait to try that..

I've got dailies that I use for boot camp, but since that isn't happening at the moment figure I'll try them out. When adjusting the headset I keep hitting the glasses.
Will try them out and see how I get on

That link seems to be missing games like Thumper for some reason??

https://en.psprices.com/region-ie/games/vr/?platform=PS4&sort=percent

Weird ... maybe it's the sorting by Percent?

ah yeah.. sorry I see it on page 2

CastorTroy · 03-06-2020 11:41AM

This time last year: Why is it all VR stuff getting discounted?!?
Now: Why is VR stuff not getting more discounts?

I like the Room games but they're short games so wouldn't be willing to pay 20.99 for it.

JimBurnley · 03-06-2020 11:44AM

Borderlands 2 VR is tempting me at 20 squid. Anyone here played it?

Just gave it a bash for like 10mins or so, all cutscenes are 2D, I love borderlands so if your a fan I'd buy it..

Won't properly get playing it for a while I reckon..

coolisin · 03-06-2020 02:15PM

Borderlands is Borderlands!!! You get do kinda get used to the cutscenes.
Id barley played them the other games, so I was coming to this fairly fresh, it is really good, personally i preferred the Moves over the Aim controller when I was playing it.
Think i was constantly getting Aim drift so it was annoying me.

To recommend a couple cheap AIM games:
Crisis VRigade, its great but really hard and really unforgiving.
Honor and Duty D-Day, online pretty much only and you need to hit that at correct times of the day.
But the AIM works a treat in both of them.
