Honestly speaking this looks bog average to me... I hope the experience will be great, but graphically looks very average IMO.

You must be new to VR.

So Iron Man VR reviews are due tomorrow at 1pm.
I just have to remember to go collect it at lunch on Friday.

Mine too, fingers crossed they're here Friday!

Ready for dispatch, always loved how fast an post are for posting so I reckon it be here tomorrow.........hopefully

coolisin · 02-07-2020 08:31AM

Got the dispatch email so here is hoping I'll have it tomorrow, when ever the postman arrives.
Can be 12 could be 3:30/4 like the day with the last of us.

Looking at the launch trailer I'm a little worried this might be constantly fighting the same enemies again and again but only the location changing.

So it might be very average if that is the case.
If the story is entertaining I'll be happy.

But I loved the demo so I'm hopeful for a fun experience.

Zero-Cool · 02-07-2020 08:36AM

The videos of Iron Man look fairly average to me but then most VR games do until you are in the world. Can't wait to try this tomorrow, gonna go in and collect it in the morning and lash into it tomorrow night. I think what I'm most looking forward to is Saints and Sinners. That looks like my idea of a perfect VR game.

Mine is being sent by DPD.

CastorTroy · 02-07-2020 08:51AM

Yeah I'd say the reviews will basically say it's repetitive but the immersion really makes up for it with scores on the 7-8 range

I have PSVR on a Pro and Ocolus Quest for a year - not new at all

CastorTroy · 02-07-2020 12:23PM

Just saw Metacritic score for iron Man
https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/marvels-iron-man-vr?ref=hp

That's it, preorder cancelled. :pac:

bazzz · 02-07-2020 12:50PM

Did anyone here pre-order Iron Man VR from GameStop Online?
I just got an email to say there was a delay with their stock and it'll arrive on Monday instead. First time this has happened to any GS Pre- Order of mine.
Not a big deal for me, I can wait. Bit late letting people know though.

CastorTroy · 02-07-2020 12:50PM

Yeah, likewise. Buying for the controllers.
An enjoyable game is a bonus

Heffoman · 02-07-2020 12:53PM

Seems extremely hard to get the VR Kit now.
If someone was looking to buy the VR kit what would people recommend they get to start off.

Would really like to give it a try.

Zero-Cool · 02-07-2020 01:29PM

Sounds bang average. Can see myself playing this to fly around a bit but will probably trade/sell it before the 8 hour playtime if I get bored.

Ah well.
The slow down in the busy city area for him was fairly bad.
But the Eurogamer Live play they where doing the guy was loving it.

Another game in the pile.

The Mega Pack is available in Smyth's stores, your paying €329 now where it had €100off recently.
And the Moves seem to be available off them also.

Up to you if you want to spend 400 but you get the kit and 5 great games.

Tbh if I was spending that money you'd be aswell getting the oculus quest.

CastorTroy · 02-07-2020 07:10PM

Just got a text from Smyths saying thanks for preordering and giving me a code for extra content. Wasn't aware of any bonus.

So I see on their site

Pre-order Marvel’s Iron Man VR to receive a code (code expires 5/15/23) to download the Marvel’s Iron Man VR PS4™ theme and 4 custom deco armors (Origin, Vintage, Silver Centurion, Ultraviolet) when the game launches.

Zero-Cool · 02-07-2020 07:13PM

Just got that myself, was expecting a collection email though as last time i preordered something, i got the collection email the night before.

Zero-Cool · 02-07-2020 08:03PM

Just got the collection message from smyths

Ah no rush really as can't play it till tomorrow night anyway.

CastorTroy · 02-07-2020 09:14PM

I usually wait til later in the evening to go to Smyths when quieter, but not an option since they stopped their late openings on Friday.
I see the payment pending anyway in my account.

So had a quick look but couldn't find an answer. Any reviews saying how long Iron Man is?

Speaking of length, what are the longer PSVR games?

WarZoneBrother · 02-07-2020 11:00PM

Beat Saber with Imagine Dragons and Greenday bundles bought along with Creed Rise of Glory

I think Iron Man is around 8 hours. Saints n Sinners about double that. Longest psvr games probably Skyrim n Borderlands 2?

CastorTroy · 02-07-2020 11:18PM

Didn't realise Skyrim VR was the whole game. Thought it was just the equivalent of the Doom VR game.

While I'd agree the Quest is a great headset it's important to note the games never get nearly the same level of discounts as you get on PSVR, so you would expect to always pay in region of +€20 for discounted games, notwithstanding sales are rare. The real value of a Quest comes when paired with a powerful gaming PC and cheap SteamVR games, playing wirelessly.

Didn't think of that aspect, as I suppose my brief and few encounters with the quest I didn't need to!
Someone else had footed the bill!

But at the current price closer to €400 with everything it's pushing it up to the 64gb quest price (when it's in stock) and some folks may complain.
Obviously the psvr comes with 5/6 games and a demo disc.

Do not get me wrong 100% get the PSVR it's my favourite piece of "extra kit" I've bought and more importantly with out buying a full gaming rig to get a VR headset in 2016/17.
And more importantly it wasn't a mobile phone in a headset VR job!

Zero-Cool · 03-07-2020 11:07AM

Just collected my Iron Man pack. The disc box has not barcode 'not for resale' so there goes trading it/selling it. They should have just given a digital code. Also, surprised there are no cables with the controllers. I have one usb cable that came with the ps4 charging one move and I have another cable i got from cex but that seems to have killed my ds4 battery and sometimes doesn't recognise it when it's plugged in so don't want to use that. Have to take turns now charging the move controllers. Not gonna spend more on the move docking station.

CastorTroy · 03-07-2020 11:33AM

No cables? That's pretty crap. If playing with 2 controllers then both will likely need charging at the same time.

Bundle is 99.99 on argos for anyone who finds that handier to get to

mrcheez · 03-07-2020 11:42AM

It's a good idea to get a charging stand for the PSVR headset with docking cradles etc.
The one I bought doesn't appear to be on sale, but this one looks good too: https://www.amazon.co.uk/PSVR-Showcase-Charge-Stand-PS4/dp/B01LYGCK1M/

I then purchased a small €4 stool from IKEA: https://www.ikea.com/ie/en/p/marius-stool-black-10135659/

I put the stool in front of my media centre just to the right of my TV, then I put my PSVR headset cradle on top of it and I can tuck all cables under the stool.

Just keeps it all nice and tidy.

More importantly it keeps the cables away from my Roomba
