PS5 thread 2.0

Apparently the light glare during night racing in your rearview mirror is realistic in GT7. I wonder could eye tracking apply depth of field, so if you're looking through your windscreen the dash could be out of focus as you're not looking at it. That would be pretty cool.

Looks like GameStop have stock available if their website is to be believed. Be interesting to hear from staff if they're seeing much interest.

Bit strange to give exclusivity to GameStop though, I know the US has some exclusivity deals but considering our lack of game shops here it doesn't make much sense and not something we normally have. No reason the shop dedicated to selling Funkopops and merch should get dibs over Smyths?

I find adjusting the lens distance can help with that 'screen door' effect that is produced by having the lenses so close, much like those lenticular images or magic eye things, your eyes just need to relax into it

You do need to line it up with your eyes. If you wear it too high or low so your eyes are looking anywhere other than dead in the middle of the lens it gets blurry.

I'd hoped the eye tracking would stop this and where ever you looked was in focus, but maybe it's more to do with the shape of the lens.

Gave the star wars demo a blast. It's well worth the demo. Holding the gun in both hands, aiming down the site. Pulling the trigger pew pew pew Amazing. 😂😂

Will try no man's sky next but so far every game has been great fun.

For anyone who wears glasses, I was just having a look at VR Opticians and they have an ETA on lenses for this of end of March. I use their lenses for the Quest 2 and they work great.

Also for anyone not aware, there is a PSVR thread in the Virtual Reality forum

Didn't pick mine up till late afternoon, as no electricity here so no rush. But power came back about 2 hours ago so I've a bit played.

Pistol Whip is Pistol Whip. Very entertaining, but really makes me want to play Beat Saber. GT7 is crazy, it's not perfect but it's still stunning to experience. Its the first time i really "felt" the carousel on the Nürburgring. It don't have any cars I previously had, but the C63s is close enough...

Horizon is downloading, and I'll be giving NMS a spin shortly. Too many games I want to try now!

Also picked up that city builder one, GS doing VR2 games half price today so took a chance for twenty bobs.

Resi 4 vr was the game that almost made me buy a VR headset loved it from start to finish, it may have been due to the fact I knew the game so well.

The vr2 looks excellent just needs some heavy hitting games now.

I found that the tracks that level and direction changed sharply (like most of the nordschleife or the corkscrew in Laguna Seca) in GT7 were the ones that made me feel 'off' when using VR. One feature that blew me away in GT was the vr replay as it places you right adjacent to the track to watch the cars fly by inches from you (although there's no walk-around feature in pause mode), I'd a race recently against some top split drivers recently in a community lobby where we raced in Spa in the wet and jesus watching it back in VR mode was almost as fun as the race itself

I was the same couldn't play anything at all with the original PSVR. Bought myself a desk fan and had it blowing into my face, could play NMS for hours after that with no motion sickness. I was walking around too not using the teleport option.

This is seems to be much much better for motion sickness. I played for hours yesterday and didn't get it, as I said the only one that did slightly was gt7 and I'm not a regular user of the tech in general.

What a poor State of Play.

Was expecting too much from the 5 PSVR2 games.

Suicide Squad doesn't look great either.

RE4R on the other hand 🤤

VR1 had lights for head tracking but VR2 doesn't have anything to focus on the same way. From what I remember with VR1, the light from your tv helped the camera see but if you sat too far away I think it has trouble in the dark.

Played loads of no man's sky today. They have done an amazing job.

It's the small VR specific things that really set it apart. The menu that floats from your left hand and you use the right hand to interact with your inventory like something Tony Stark would have.

Your scanning visor. You don't just press a button and your character turns it on. You actually have to lift your left hand up beside your head then press the button. It's a small thing, but it makes it seem like you do flick an actual visor to start scanning.

But the cream is flying the space ship. Sit into the cockpit, reach down and grab the throttle and joystick. Push forward for full throttle and pull back and you take off. You have full 1 to 1 control of the ship using virtual controls. It's an amazing feeling.

I took off went into space and then turned around and came back down and landed. Incredible stuff. Looking out the side window of the ship as you cruise at high altitude.

I know I prob get over enthusiastic about games at the best of times, but this really is next level stuff. Not just "kinda cool" in small bursts, but I'm not sure I could play this game any other way now it's so good.

I picked up the charger for the controllers. Feel it's like the controllers lose battery fast and having two separate cables were annoying me.
