I hope this is why Activision Blizzard created a movie studio. Always loved their trailers.

Did anyone pre order, heard it sold out in minutes on Amazon

Sony updated their article. Pre-orders for the headset alone go up on the 29th.

UPDATE: Thanks to everyone for sharing their feedback on PlayStation VR pre-orders! It’s clear that there’s a lot of interest from many of you to secure the PlayStation VR core system, and I’m happy to share that we’ve decided to make it available for pre-order on Tuesday, March 29, at 7:00 a.m. PT at participating retailers.
So to wrap it all up, here are your pre-order options:

Sucks for Evo. Ehhh they really didn't make anything special IMO. Storm? Blah. Drive Club was cool but riddled with bugs and shotty release date/updates.

Had no problems with Driveclub apart from the launch and even then it was just online play, offline was fine.

The season pass was great as well. Tons of content

Was looking forward to this

I only played Motorstorm Apocalypse on PS3 and RC on Vita and I loved them both but the writing was on the wall after the first round of layoffs.

It's cut throat out there these days.

There is always GTVR in 2029.

PSVR is closed source right? So no pron smh. And how will the experience be sharing the screen with both eyes as opposed to the other two VR devices that have screens for each eye.

Speaking of GT Sport, it's march and we still haven't heard anything about the beta.

No pron but there will be a firmware update for the media player that will allow 360 video and pictures, so there is hope for you .

The system also has a Cinematic mode, which lets users enjoy a variety of content in a large virtual screen*6 while wearing the headset. Supported content for the Cinematic mode includes standard PS4 games and videos as well as variety of PS4 features including Share Play and Live from PlayStation. Users will also be able to enjoy 360 degrees photos and videos that are captured by devices such as omnidirectional cameras on PS VR via PS4 Media Player, which will let them feel as if they are physically inside the captured scene.

As for a single screen instead of two, it's fine because of the lenses. They focus on the centre of each half of the screeen so there's no crosstalk or bleeding.

Dudes at Polyphony are given four score and seven years to make a game, but you dump Evolution?

There has to be other studios doing worse.

Sony closes down Evolution Studios

RIP

The thing is, when GT does eventually come out, Driveclub becomes redundant. There's no need for two competing exclusive circuit racers, even if Driveclub is more arcadey.

Which is why they should've made Motorstorm PS4, dammit. It would have been amazing.

Anyone pre-order the psvr at GS today?

Got there at 9:30 and it was me and 3 other guys on line.

So it seems like these will be pretty limited. 10 per store. Maybe it was just the bundles.

On the 29th, they will be taking pre-orders on just the core model.

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

you're paying for something that will last more than 1 gen, its not only going to work with ps4

I was thinking about this actually.

By the time the PS5 comes out, VR tech would have matured some more and so the specs of the headset might become outdated.
The FOVE headset has eye tracking and Sony already built their own eye tracking tech and demoed it in inFAMOUS SS.



I expect the next headset to have in built eye tracking , higher res screen and a better camera for tracking.

Either that or they use the same headset and accessories for the PS5 which would be much cheaper then for everyone to get and there would still be a jump in quality since it's the console that does all the rendering for the game.

Only concern i have is if the psvr causes motion sickness.

Any articles? iYen?

From what I've read it depends on the person and the game and for those who do get it initially, it becomes better over time so you should ease yourself into VR.

VR has always been a thing but the reason for it making a comeback is because the tech now is good enough to combat a lot of the initial problems especially motion sickness or VR sickness as they call it. Low latency screens, better tracking and high frame rate means you won't get sick from just looking around since what you see is keeping up with the movements that you're making.

It's when your senses are not in agreement that you get the sickness.

That's why a lot if not most of the VR games are ones where you're in a cockpit of a mech or ship or in a car.
Because you're in something that is moving there's no sensory conflict in your brain so those are easier to simulate in VR.
Walking is much harder though, because you see that you're walking in the VR world but you're standing still IRL and that causes conflict which leads to the symptoms.

I think most people will be fine but no doubt it would cause motion sickness for some, especially if you spend a long time with it on.

Thanks for the info.

This is the game that I am most excited outside of Final Fantasy

And am I the only person who is a little creeped/freaked out by virtual reality?

So frustrating...

Is there any way/method of sending a saved data file from one ps4 to the next via online?

 

[iheartboost]

Listen to it on my way home from work today, good EP. I can def tolerate this more than Giant Bombcast, those dudes just go on and on and on over a single topic. The topic is beat and they will STILL keep going smh

Can you upload it to the cloud, sign in on the 2nd Playstation, then download it that way?

it has a 120 hz screen, nothing about that will be outdated in 5 years

will there be smaller, lighter, less convoluted, more advanced headsets in 5 years, possibly psvr2? of course

but that doesnt mean that the basics still can't be applied to psvr1

is it necessary to play the previous dark souls in order to play number 3?

 

[swendro]

no

Polyphony are untouchable at this point. They released 2.5 games last gen and sold over 20 million.

Looking at the worldwide studios website, Polyphony has only 140 employees compared to 300 in Naughty Dog or 160 in Guerrilla so even though their games take ages to come out, they're probably the most profitable.

I think a lot of the problems for Evolution was just bad management. They didn't seem to have any delays or problems last gen.

The thing is, when GT does eventually come out, Driveclub becomes redundant. There's no need for two competing exclusive circuit racers, even if Driveclub is more arcadey.

Which is why they should've made Motorstorm PS4, dammit. It would have been amazing.

DC was meant to be a launch title so it made sense and who knows how long we'll be waiting for GT Sport. I think both could happily coexist as well.

Not the refresh rate but the screen's resolution.
If they use this PS VR for PS5 then that's fine since we will still see improvements in games since the console is what provides the power but at the same time, these are consoles so the hardware will be locked until the gen is complete so can this headset last the rest of this gen plus the next is what I'm getting at.

 

[parada45]

I just saw the Paranormal Activity game on IGN's snapchat

Even tho I am still iffy about the VR thing that looks like something I might enjoy

Still going to wait for the reviews

Gran Turismo is gonna drop the ball for the 3rd time in a row.
