    There was a major shortage at start of the year (after people had the PSVR for chrimbo) so must be same again post black Friday. There is some excellent games playable on the dualshock, but the games you mentioned moves would be essential for

    Some of best games using DS pad only, off top of my head:
    Astrobot
    Trover
    Thumper
    Polybius
    Wipeout
    Headmaster (actually requires no controller, just yer head!)
    Tetris Effect

    Yeah, I think you'll be lucky to get them new, mate was waiting about 6 months to get them after last year. Rumours they stopped producing them due to the upcoming PSVR2, could be the same again.

    It's just a safety thing, kids eyes aren't fully developed till 12 so it could mess with that, but there's no evidence for it, it's just to be on the safe side.

    I tried playing with DualShock controller but found it quite tricky. Really needs the Aim controller but hard to justify buying a controller just for that game.

    This is my favourite Aim game...
    it's a blast (pun intended) once you complete it and play through from the start with all weapons available

    Also I enjoyed Brookhaven Experiment and Dick Wilde far more with the Aim than the Moves.

    This. I have it, but don't have the Aim controller, so it just felt meh with the Move controllers, could never get very far as it's not forgiving in the slightest.

    It's tough as nails with the aim, nevermind without it. The high difficulty (and that each attempt is always short since game is I think max 7mins long) give it that "one more go" addictiveness

    Ah not the same. As good as that is (Blood and Truth) it's not quite Time Crisis. Close, but different.

    Aim is great makes firewall that extra bit special, with a dual shock it's terrible.

    Farpoint
    Doom
    Borderlands
    Crisis VRgraide

    Seems Resident Evil 8 coming out next year will have PSVR support!

    I wonder if it will be a PS5 title though?

    You can do.
    I did at the start.
    But never play through the pain. Keep the room cold. Open a window have a fan blowing.
    Start with comfort settings on full slowly relaxing them

    First few times I did a backflip in Sairento was pretty bad. Also get occasional light headedness when playing Audica (for some reason).

    Wipeout didn't bother me, but Scavengers Odyssey killed me, that was the worst. But that was the first couple days of ownership.

    Wipeout I was better on my VR legs at that time.

    Ha, same! Speaking of which, I haven't actually played it since the first week I got the PSVR in 2017. I wonder would it have no effect on me now?

    Farpoint was the first VR experience I tried the night I unpacked the PSVR and that gave me a bit of the pukey feeling the first time

    https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=103811664&postcount=1705

    *sigh memories* :cool:


    Talking of which... I never got around to completing Farpoint goddamnit... that's next on my list!

    Dont think I ever completed Farpoint myself actually! It is a great experience, but was a game I needed to play in small chunks.

    Recently played Scavengers Odyssey think it is the slow full rotation that murders you.
    But I could play through it is a really cool looking game, but it made me a little dizzy still.

    Anyone got the 2nd version of PSVR and willing to take a close look on the inside under the rubber bit for the earphone holders on each side. It look like this under that bit? obviously don't force anything.

    Under earphone holder.

    My 12 year old was using move controllers and one of the moves now does not charge? No visible damage, anyone have this issue and know of a fix?

    Old or New version?
    and How long have you left it on charge for?

    And have you tried pressing the reset button to see if it helps?

    Do games like this go on sale on Steam? I know some folks on r/psvr who waited months for Beat Saber to go on sale and it never did.


    I was almost going to buy a Quest and this game would have been a big reason for it - may hold off now.

    Beat Saber is pretty unique in that it never goes on sale, but yes most VR games would go on sale on both Oculus and Steam regularly.

    Steam discounts tend to be better though, so I'll grab this on Steam once it dips and play on Quest via Virtual Desktop
