PS4 Megathread 2.0

Sony's first GDC talk is starting in 15 minutes, no video (das ist verboten) but there are loads of live blogs.

Will throw stuff up from IGN and Eurogamer.

Virtual reality, he says, is the next innovation from PlayStation "that may well shape the future of games."

Not sure about the "Innovation" of "from PlayStation".



A PS move and some ducktape.

No Video but they've a God of War VR demo, involves first person dismemberment and looking down at your virtual pecks.

i don't understand that image, that big bulge would be on your forehead

Looks similar to the Sony HMZ-T3.

I've worn a HMZ-T2 and it was really uncomfortable. I don't think I'll be bothering with VR to be honest.

Saying it comfortable but that's expected, and that it's (dev unit) 1080p 90+ field of view wearable with glasses.

1000Hz tracking from PS eye over a 3 meter distance from camera, and apparently it's 360 head tracking so must be some lights on back as well.

Audio

Netflix is working fine for me. Watching World War II In Colour on it right now.

Looks like someone was listening to Richar I mean, jenjenten.

Talk about old news, it's been reduced for about a week; the also end on the 25th.

I hedged my bets on VR being a pretty big dissapointment like the WII and Kinect early on.

Good ideas, some niche uses, but overall adds nothing to core gameplay and hasn't hit home as originally thought.

Don't see this being a success to be fair, was pretty underwhelmed with the Rift, and unless it's heavily adopted by a REALLY innovative skilled developement team, it will be just gimmicks and rubbish.

i bought a game from videogamesplus.ca 2 weeks ago, i got a mail to say it shipped Friday 7th March but it still has not arrived, is it normal for delivery to take so long?

this is my first time using the site

Also does anyone know if tesco sell any ps4 bundles?
I've a good amount of teso vouchers and would like to get a ps4 with them

There has been some issues with Canadian post in the last couple of weeks according to one of the site admins, the last 4 things I got from them took 13 days exactly from ship date, but last item I ordered on the 28th of February only arrived today, it usually takes no longer than 10 days though and they were nice enough to give me a discount on my next order seeing how much I have used them.

It is a good start, the battery life may improve now.

It's an LED, they're not that power heavy.

Hence the word the may, I would be curious to see what if any difference it made.

Probably none, to be fair its a bit of a gimmicky thing that really has no benefit. Who holds a controller in a way they can actually SEE the LED during gameplay?

Touchpad button been a massive disappointment aswell, I was actually under the impression on purchase it was a touchpad, as in could move my finger around it, but it just appears to be a button you press ?

Pretty rubbish for a big button

There has been a surprising lack of Infamous talk... Anyone get it?

Looks to have got good review scores, although my trusted reviewer wasn't as impressed (Sessler)

I should have it from the post but I'm going to struggle to pull myself away from Dark Souls 2.
