    Does anyone have issues with the lenses fogging up? Was noticeable for me when playing Tetris Effect tonight.

    Couple of tricks:
    Your lenses maybe a little dirty so try cleaning them.
    Think of a car windscreen the dirtier it gets the more it will fog as moisture has something to cling to.

    Turning on a couple mins before 100% helps with no fog.
    Adjusting the headset maybe a little too close to the your face so getting alot of breath

    A fan helps but also if you have air moving close by a window open works also.

    Yeah it takes a while for the headset to warm up so there’ll be some fogging from your breath and body heat. A hack is to turn the headset on about 20 minutes before you use it.

    I think they should give us a discount just for the inconvenience!

    I've just re-wired up my PSVR after not having used it for ages (as thread creator, I should hang my head huh?) What's worse is, i now have a PS4 Pro, and should have wired that sucker straight in!

    I've a bit of a backlog to get through, and I'm starting with Astro Bot. Played a couple levels earlier, and WOW.

    On the lens issue, because of face masks the mother had a great tip of using your finger to put on washing up liquid and use a towel to clean it off (no water), works perfect for keeping the glasses from fogging up, wonder if it would do the same with the PSVR. Also very reluctant to try it on a €350 bit of hardware!

    There are lots of warnings about putting cleaners on the lenses, so I'd be hesitant.

    They are plastic, rather than glass.

    The only sure thing for cleaning is fibre cloth.

    I picked up the charging dock for the move controllers from Smyths today. Very handy as I can charge them with mains power. No fussing around with cables which is a big plus too.

    It's Quest, but Pistol Whip all the same... I love the price of this game... they got it right I think


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,115 ✭✭✭✭Jordan 199


    Blood & Truth :D:D:D Played a little bit of it and I love it. Move controllers really enhance the experience.

    Trover Saves The Universe what a game, i gave up on trying to buy it on my Turkish account due to revolut not working somehow but bought it and Wolfenstein Cyberpilot on the Irish store.. I bought Wolfenstein off gamestop for 10euro but it wasn't shipped so I'm assuming its sold out and I'll be refunded..

    One of the funniest games I have played.. I think I'm going to go and buy Rick and Morty VR on amazon now for 20pound..

    Here's some news from the Official PlayStation Blog. I've posted this in the
    PlayStation boards PS5 thread.

    I thought it would be relevant here too, seeing it addresses some PSVR
    compatibility news.


    Information on DualShock 4, PS VR, officially licensed peripherals, and more.


    PlayStation VR, Peripherals Marketing and Licensing, SIE

    In our June Future of Gaming digital event, we announced an array of PlayStation 5 peripherals and accessories that will be launching this holiday season.
    But we know that many of you were also wondering if and how existing PlayStation 4 peripherals are compatible with the next-gen system. Today, we’re happy to share a brief FAQ that will answer some of your questions.

    If you have questions that aren’t addressed, feel free to leave them in the comments below.

    Which existing PS4 peripherals/accessories will work on PS5?

    Specialty peripherals, such as officially licensed racing wheels, arcade sticks, and flight sticks, will work with PS5 games and supported PS4 games.
    The Platinum and Gold Wireless Headsets, as well as third-party headsets that connect via USB port or audio jack, will work on PS5 (the headset companion app is not compatible with PS5).
    The DualShock 4 wireless controller and PlayStation officially licensed third-party gamepad controllers will work with supported PS4 games.
    Both the PS Move Motion Controllers and the PlayStation VR Aim Controller will work with supported PS VR games on PS5.

    Please note, not all PlayStation officially licensed or third-party peripherals/accessories may work on PS5. We recommend checking with the manufacturer to confirm whether a product will work on PS5 and specific titles.

    Will DualShock 4 work with PS5 games?

    No, we believe that PS5 games should take advantage of the new capabilities and features we’re bringing to the platform, including the features of DualSense wireless controller.

    Is the PlayStation Camera for PS4 compatible with PS5?

    Yes, PlayStation Camera will work with PS5 for playing supported PS VR games. It will require a PlayStation Camera adaptor that will be provided at no additional cost to PS VR users.
    More details on how to get the adaptor will be announced at a later date.

    And that’s it! We’ll continue to provide updates on PlayStation 5 down the road, so make sure to check back soon.

    Just announced via Official PlayStation Twitter accounts. There's a new
    State Of Play happening this Thursday 6th August. Addressing PS4 & PSVR.

    It also states no PS5 News.

    Another massive thumbs up here for Pistol Whip, one session in, hugely enjoyable so far. The b@stard child of Beat Saber and Blood n Truth. It's some work out though too, got a proper sweat on

    Just announced during State of Play, Hitman 3 and the complete trilogy will be completely playable in PSVR

    Even though I'm sh1t at Hitman games, I'd definitely give it a go in virtual reality.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,770 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    Wonder does that include the free Hitman we got with Plus not too long ago...

    Some more details here
    https://www.ioi.dk/hitman-vr/

    Sounds like you can play old Hitman 1/2 on VR once you own the new Hitman 3


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,792 ✭✭✭coolisin


    I must say I didn't see that one coming at all.
    Not one I might play but very interesting.

    Vadar immortal getting a release date makes me happy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,474 ✭✭✭✭mrcheez


    Outstanding on Hitman! Is that exclusive to PSVR? If so, that's a major win.


    Regarding Pistol Whip, I picked it up yesterday for my Quest and it's very cool, but I do feel it's a little repetitive with only 3 enemies? Are there unlockables?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,115 ✭✭✭✭Jordan 199


    Danger Ball worked me up into a sweat. Must change my t-shirt.
