    It's essentially an arcade shooter although it does have levels that you complete with the aim of "finishing" the game, though in reality it doesn't really finish as you go through it with tougher enemies and more weapon unlocks. I believe they call the genre a "roguelike" or something where you die often but gradually get more powerful.

    Be sure also to travel to the sanctuaries by shooting a teleport arrow into the holes where the phantoms come from.


    It's really tough on the shoulders and I find it a great workout. The crossbow that you unlock later makes it a lot easier on the shoulders though and offers a completely different type of gameplay.

    I'm hooked now, I really want to get to heaven. Have anyone of you done this yet?

    I've played 60 hours and come close. To be honest I just enjoy the ride ;)

    What's the general best practice for positioning the camera? I've a flat screen on TV stand. I've heard high and low recommendations.

    What's your preference?

    Thanks

    I rarely see any discounts in PlayStation store for VR. Are they generally not discounted?

    This is the list of VR games on sale

    https://psprices.com/region-ie/games/vr/?platform=all&sort=date


    Yeah they often come up for sale, it's quite unusual not have a few on sale in fact, so this listing is the exception at the moment.

    Astro Bot Rescue Mission.

    Res Evil 7 if you don't have it already, amazing in VR.

    Firewall Zero Hour and Farpoint, played with the gun controller is the only way IMO.

    Red Matter looks really good, only released but you need the Move controllers for it.

    Have you been playing it yourself? Didn't get a chance to play it over the weekend but hoping to start into it soon. Would you recommend Dualshock or Move controllers?

    I haven't played it myself, just following videos online and reddit posts.

    I have a major backlog so can afford to wait till it drops a bit in price.

    No I missed it unfortunately.. I fear for a certain freelance journalist's future prospects.

    Actually I don't fear for it all... I think he should decide on an alternative career like an undertaker

    So just set my new VR up today and was slightly disappointed with it to begin with... the PS worlds depth dive video was my first experience.

    but I've now played astrobot and a few other titles and I'm seriously impressed!

    a little bit of nausea here and there.. especially on Wipeout, I had to put it down, but looking forward to getting back into it tomorrow.

    I seem to experience an issue whereby I returned to the PS4 on rest mode and when I try to turn on the power on the PS4 headset only the two dots on the back of the headset illuminated for 2 seconds and then it was unresponsive. I had to restart the psvr and PS4 and then check out HDMI leads and then it's somehow worked again but it's a little worrying seeing as I just got the unit today..

    quick question the VR in GT Sport seems to be just a box in front of me not for VR am I missing something?

    You can't play the full game in VR, there's a section called VR showroom I think. It's calss, but only time trials are available.
