I find if I move the strap bit that goes round the back of your head up a bit and then tighten I get a much better fit and no light gets in.


Instead of sitting at the bottom of the back of my head it sits on that nobbly bit that sticks out.

I have to do this also as at the bottom it becomes a bit uncomfortable.

 

Also, does anyone know when sickmania turbo vr comes out? Thought it was this week, but could be wrong?

 

trackmania? Nov. 8th, according to neoGAF

Well that VEV VR microbe game is a piece of shit, money wasted. Bound looks nice though although I find the camera a bit annoying.

 

Spent most of tonight on Rez Infinite and Until Dawn. This time I took my time for Area X and it's really marvellous. The Until Dawn shooter is really immersive and pretty damn intense. We really need more on rail shooters.

I would so love a Virtua Cop, Time Crisis or Ghost Squad remade for VR.

Hmm. Managed to try out Carnival Games as I enjoyed it on Wii (sue me). Sadly it's one of the worst games I've played with really jittery controls. I also hurt my hand on our hanging lamps after I threw a dart a little too hard. I like it as it's simple stuff and will be good for multiplayer, but it's the very definition of ropy.

I think I just had my first ever positive experience inside Driveclub.

The open top car time trial in the demo with dualshock motion control steering.

i felt really wierd on the first lap as my muscles were tensing ready to steady myself against the G force you get in a real car but after that first lap  it completely went away.

if only it wasn't so blurry , if there's one game that could use the pro it's this.

i have to say if it was cheap enough (7-8 quid) I'd prolly go for it. Surely they have to do bikes next?

 

Road rash...come on.

last night I played TR blood ties long enough to unlock twin stick.controls. It warned me, you know? It said I might experience dizzyness.

 

ill be fine, I said to myself, just pretend I'm piloting a drone or something.

 

no.

 

once I found the main entrance hall, that was it.

 

vomit comet.

 

then for the bit I should spoil the pad tracking went put the window, 90 degrees to actual.

 

saying that, my ps4 has been on (or at rest) since I got VR, so last night I shut it down, proper.

 

9ft is too far.

Was it only 13 years ago that we felt a bit silly and self-conscious wearing the Xbox Live headset, looking like a telemarketer and feeling  like we were shutting ourselves away from the world?

 

And now we rejoice in wearing some kind of retro future, brightly lit contraption covering our faces and headphones that really shuts out everything while moving our heads around like Stevie Wonder during an intense solo and we don't give a fuck! We live in amazing times.

Chatting to a friend about PSVR last night, another unit sold, that's three people I've 'turned' with my positive PSVR experience. While we were chatting on hangouts and I was extolling the virtues of VR as a game changer, I felt the pangs of addiction, missing Area X and Driveclub. It's a different addiction to the min maxing of Destiny it's more of a yearning. I must play more VR. The irony of starting full time work weeks before PSVR release is not lost on me. Yes I can now afford PSVR without guilt but I don't have the time to play. I've not felt the desire to be engrossed by an experience since playing an import copy of Mario 64 for the first time and realising everything I knew about games had just changed dramatically forever.

That's a shame, there's a couple of things like that on PC (Pierhead Arcade and Nvidia VR Funhouse) and they're some of the best things in VR.  Done well it does, as you suspect work perfectly.

I'm going to reset everything up tonight, but based on several reviews it seems to be how it is set up.

It's incredible, isn't it? I was playing Area X for the second time last night and while my first playthrough was greedy and fast I now really took the time to let it all sink in, look around at the vistas, float with the creatures instead of trying to shoot everything as fast as possible in a mad frenzy. While I was impressed before, this time it really clicked and I must rate it as the most impressive, immersive and revolutionary gaming experience I ever had.

 

The bad news is that I'm tired all week due to these post-midnight sessions while having to get up earlyish for work.

Oh god yes. PSVR has completely rekindled my passion for gaming, and I'm just not used to the late night sessions any more. I also play pretty much everything VR standing up, which makes it all the more tiring. 

 

A 2 hour session of Rez last night left me worn out but totally hyped at bed time. Terrible combo.

The eye shield is completely removable and snaps off so why not just make one with an extra 0.5- 1cm on the bottom section.

personally I find it a good guide to getting the headset on correctly where there is a tiny gap you know it's a good fit.

I fiddled around with it and indeed fixed the issue.

Area 5 is also amazing in VR. I forgot the madness of it, but the floating around and changing scenery was insane. Rez is what 15 years old and still astounds me.

 

Driveclub is my go to VR game of an evening though. Just getting in the cockpit of the Caterhams, Bac Mono, Atom or for the seat of your pants FXX. It's a sublime experience. I've never been that good at driving games as some on here will say is bloody true, but in this I'm able to race cleaner, faster and better! I don't know if it's because you see the track and also you can judge braking better. It just feels right.
