I am always very wary of 'reviews' as i have played games that are supposedly the greatest thing ever but hated every minute - i prefer to make my own mind up based upon what i see as a whole package - i would rather have a game with a few technical faults that i enjoy playing than a perfect game that just doesn't grab me. I am sure some people will have problems with vr but until i try it myself then i will never know - the cost may seem prohibitive for taking such a risk but ultimately £400 isn't really that much in the great scheme of things and certainly cheaper than Hive etc.

Besides, even if i hate it i have 3 kids so surely at least one of them will be ok!
You have 3 kids and £400 on a toy isn't that much "in the great scheme of things"?

How much money do you make in a month?

It would be, but it's not a huge stretch to believe that a game called Driveclub VR can make people feel sick!

I know you've posted a lot on this thread about frames-per-second and refresh rate and how nobody can make a game for the PSVR that doesn't meet certain yadda yadda yadda.

Doesn't mean anything. Means absolutely nothing, in fact. You are still a stationary person whose brain is being told you are in a car travelling at over a hundred miles per hour around a windy race-track. Given the current level of technology, for anyone experiencing sickness it has nothing to do with refresh rates or frame rates, and it never did. It's the same principle as why some people get sick if they read/use their mobiles/tablets as a passenger in a moving car, particularly in the back seat. The signals your brain is getting are totally at odds to what your body is experiencing.

Some people will always get motion sick playing VR, the same way as some people will always get car-sick if they read in a moving vehicle.

This isn't meant as a sleight on the technology btw - I think it's very cool and while I won't be an early adopter, I am keeping a close eye on its development. I use VR apps myself with the likes of Google Cardboard and have not experienced any motion sickness yet.

It's more just saying that, at some point, you just need to accept that virtual reality and motion sickness go hand-in-hand. The best refresh rates in the world won't change that.
I know.

I already said in an earlier post that Windlands on PSVR made ME feel uncomfortable.

Different games will affect different people in different ways. Was that not clear from the first part of my post? The second part of my post was info I was going to post here anyway to help fellow PSVR users get the best from their new device. See the word "Anyway"? That's me changing subject right there. Linking the 2 subjects was an afterthought TBH. Please stop looking for an agenda where there isn't one.

Trust me, If DCVR makes me puke tonight I'll be saying so.

BTW, I'm also a father of 3 and am buying a PSVR. And before you ask, no, I won't tell you what I earn a month.

It's not what you earn, its how you manage what you earn and your circumstances.

The VR section to the PS store is still looking rather sparse. I would have thought all of the release date VR games would have been up there by now.

Certainly not a huge amount, we are just very good at budgeting for things we want, some people spend a fortune on their car, expensive holidays etc, its just 'horses for courses' i suppose, I am the main 'breadwinner' and i give myself £30 a week for myself (although out of that i have to pay for food at work, any bits and pieces i want to buy for hobbies etc) and the rest goes into the family pot, doesn't take long to save up for stuff if i want it.

I wasn't trying to be flippant when i said £400 isn't a big amount, it is just worth it for me as i have saved upon for it, and if it doesn't work out then the kids may use it and at least i won't be in debt to buy it.

I agree that £400 isnt actually that much really. I am so excited my DPD delivery is due tomorrow from game, super excited. Hope it is going to be great.
I dont think the VR is going to succeed if it continues to go down the video gaming route though. i can see experiences being the new thing. Imagine it being used in care homes for people who cant go out or in schools to go on outings to a viking battleground.

I'm shocked at the awful VR section on the store. It's abysmal.

Jeez!!! I wish Amazon would get off their backsides and dispatch the orders already!! Has anyone with an Amazon order received s dispatch notification yet? It's almost 2pm at the time of posting this.
Still nothing here. A bit disgruntled given I paid extra for delivery and it's been preordered since it was available. It's been listed for Friday for ages. Still not dispatched and I live in the middle of nowhere so it always arrives a day late if logistics do it. They are worse than yodel!

Be very interesting to read tomorrows user insights and I'm sure outbreaks of bilious behaviour - hopefully not too much of the latter though. Currently a very intrigued observer whose main reason for abstain is a lack of personally appropriate titles. An Alien Isolation port - Visage - Outlast 2 - decent RPG and a traditional Golf VR experience (yeah same old) would rapidly alter my stance however. Enjoy all. Hope you get your VR legs sharp.

Alien Isolation needs to be done. That would be amazing. I can't see it being that expensive to do. I bet it wouldn't be a free patch if it happens. Full price again I'd bet.

Not sure how they could make Golf work. Move controllers as the club?

The PlayStation VR section on the front page is laughable. It hasn't been updated in months.

If you go to the main game pages and use the PlayStation VR filter there's 14 games on offer. Weirdly though, games like Rez, 100ft Robot Golf and Resident Evil don't show up even though they feature on the store.

It wouldn't do any harm to throw the likes of Tomb Raider, Call Of Duty, Battlefront etc in there either.

By my reckoning there's about 20 new games, plus upgraded titles, plus apps still missing. Hopefully they'll all turn up sometime tomorrow.

Although, I've already got 7 games lined up to play, plus World War Toons and all those demos. I really don't need encouraging to bit any more.

Anyway, off into town now to prepay and get my place in the line. Hopefully should be back home with my new baby just after midnight.

I've played Battlefront with the Sony HMZ-T3W 3D goggles, and it is great, even without being able to look around (as they have not movement sensor) you feel like you are even more in the battle area.

They only work at 720p per eye, so the resolution goes down more than on a mono screen, so it would be even better playing Battlefront on a PS4 at 1080p per eye.

Grr. They have been evil to me. Took the cash at 8am and it's been being prepared ever since. I hate amazon. They are increasingly bad at delivering on release day. My sister's catalogue is better!

They sometimes send out at 2pm depending on who they use.

Awww enjoy.

My stupid GameStop wouldn't do a midnight opening.

I'll catch up with your impressions in the morning.

My Amazon order hasn't moved since being handed over the the courier at 1pm yesterday. Hopefully things wake up and move along overnight or Amazon will have some very serious questions to be answering!!

Is anyone else having the same lack of movement with Amazon logistics?

My 'local' hub appears to be 40 miles away from me. Unless they go to the furthest point and work back in, I've just wasted taking a day off to wait for delivery.

Well, I actually cannot fault the delivery as it literally just turned up as I got home from the school run (good job I walked back twice as quick as usual!!). I'm supposed to be working from home today whilst I wait for the parcel, this is going t be a bit of a distraction to things now!!
