Wow nice couple of free VR games coming up.
Thumper, Rez infinite, Moss, Paper beasts, Astrobot.

Non VR getting Horizon Complete edition is really cool.

AstroBot Rescue Mission is a beautiful game.

Great improvement over the move controllers but man do they look bulky in this pic:

maybe that player has small hands

Just really looking forward to the haptic and dualsense triggers in VR.
The dualsense really is class.
I know there is issue with the triggers so hopefully that will be completely solved by then.

So... I haven't looked into getting a PS5 up until this point, but obviously now I'm interested.

What's the deal there? Is there a worldwide shortage or has that passed by now?

Think it's still there.
But if your quick you can get them, not as many bots now as the market is falling for scalping.
The dual sense makes me very excited for these controllers.
The dual sense is great.

Amazing bit of tech.
And the extra oomph it gives the psvr is unreal.

There's problems with the adaptive triggers losing their tension apparently.
Might be worth waiting it out.

There is a number of reports.

But I'm hoping by the time they have the vr controller out they may have a fix because it's amazing when it works.

The move controllers really do enhance the PSVR experience. I tried playing Blood & Truth and London Heist with the regular PS controller and it didn't feel right in my view.

Once I got my hands on the move controllers, it was so different, really felt like you were part of the action. Playing those games with the move controllers was super fun.

I just finished playing Dirt Rally in VR. I did a single night stage driving the Escort Cosworth in Finland, but the feeling you get when the car becomes airborne over jumps is strange. A great game to play in VR.

I must give this a go. I've been looking for a decent VR driving fix. I thought Drive Club VR was only ok and GT sport was pretty disappointing (in VR).

Just be warned it's REALLY tough... it's not a sit-back and cruise game like in Drive Club and GT Sport.. you're constantly hand-breaking and slipping all over the place as you're driving on loose gravel, so it's generally a bit slower until you're good!

GT Sport in VR is underwhelming in my opinion. I went around the old Nurburgring in a GT3 Merc AMG (you sit down low in those) and I did a lap around the Red Bull Ring in the Alfa 4C. Very bland.

Dirt Rally is much more immersive. While I was waiting for the countdown at the start of the stage I did in Finland yesterday, I had a look at the metal tubing inside the car that made the frame, then looked over at my very important co. driver. Then I drove like a bat out of hell!

mrcheez · 25-03-2021 01:49PM

"Easy turn left baby!"

I always wonder if the co driver has a thing for me

mrcheez · 25-03-2021 01:54PM

Those free VR games should be available today yeah? Haven't logged on yet to check

mrcheez · 25-03-2021 04:48PM

ah... seems it's 3am tonight... so tomorrow then

Here's a look at Doom 3 PSVR with the Aim controller. Looking good.

Been tempted by that myself but not finished the other Doom VR yet. Be interested what you think of D3, seen mixed reviews

mrcheez · 18-04-2021 08:02AM

Booted it up there last night after my Aim finally completed charging.

It's great! The 3D effect is in some ways more effective than the Quest 2 version so everything feels more tangible and obviously it's more polished.

The OLED screen true blacks really come to the fore here too!

Warning though, you're gonna want strong VR legs for this one!

Anyone here have a LG cx TV, and how did you get round the bottleneck of the vr box processer as it's not hdmi 2.1?

Only thing I can think of is switching the hdmi straight to the ps5 when not using it?

That's pretty much it I'm afraid.
I've the psvr1 so I guess I'm used to switching cables.

I must get cracking at Ironman. I am also contemplating getting Ultrawings.
