PlayStation VR

Finally managed a full end to end co-op campaign on Battlezone. We had a great team who actually communicated and worked together. Even took out 3 Nemisis tanks! Such a great game but after 90 minutes play (and that was a short campaign) I was knackered.

[Quexex]

Just used the Job Simulator demo as motivation to get my youngest out of bed this morning(which is always a challenge). He'll have to be well behaved until I get back from work tonight if he's going to get to play!

One week until I go Pro all because of PSVR. Even though I don't intend on getting a 4K TV for a good while yet.

 

I usually do mid generation jump, generally to supplement my primary console with something from the competition or a smaller quieter version of my primary console. This time it's an upgrade, without a VR alternative none of the competition offer anything that different from the PS4.

I'm pretty much in the exact same boat as you. My kids are delighted to hear they're getting my "old" PS4 and I'm delighted I'll be seeing some improvements to the VR games that i already think are fantastic.

[Darwock]

Have they explicitly stated what improvements the Pro will make to VR? There seems to be a lot of jumping to conclusions and nothing much concrete.

[RIKT]

Who cares when there's a rear USB?

[BubbleFish]

Specific games have already started listing their improvements either in place now or that they're working on.

[catinthehat]

I played through Area X again before work this morning.  Don't remember the last time I played a game before work,

 

I don't need any improvements just yet.

 

[murray]

I'm also getting a Pro, mostly for VR improvements in all honesty.

 

Won't be getting a 4K HDR set until next year, but I'm hoping that the VR improvements will be worth it either way.

Almost every day on Reddit there's another confirmation or patch notes that details PS4 Pro upgrades. Much more than I thought there would be at this stage tbh.

Call of Duty Infinite Warfare Jackal Assault VR launches tomorrow, free to everybody, not only those who buy Infinite Warfare.

thanks for that - comprehensive and useful list there.

 

However I think I'll wait for tangible hands on impressions before I commit another £350 (im going to spend another 350 arent I .. gulp)

[DC Lemon]

Robinson: The Journey will be my PS4 Pro launch game, then. And maybe Eagle Flight will join it. Just as well because I can't think of a compelling reason to buy a Pro at launch for all those 4K TV troglodytes living in the last gen of gaming, innit.

[Thread Astaire]

I wonder if PS4 Pro will give a sharper cinematic mode? 

[Coolcongo]

Here is a link to optimised PS4 Pro games lists some vr games aswell.

I dont have 4k and not interested in it (yet - I mean I'm still amaex by 1080p blurry 3 inches in front of my eyes )so still looking for hands on impressions of improvements in VR I think.

Battlezone VR had a slight discount, and I had some store credit lying around so gaaaaaaah ... bought that as well.

 

If the PS4 Pro markedly improves the VR graphics I'm afraid I'm going to need one of those too. I don't have a 4K / HDR TV though.

[Spleen]

Anybody got Headmaster yet? Thoughts?

Tempted, as the demo was pretty good.

I assume Battlezone discount was in a bricksa and mortar store as PSN still shows £50

A friend of mine swears it's the best game on PSVR.  He absolutely loves it.

Yeah, mail order company bol.com . PSN price for Battlezone is €60, most shops now sell it for €55 and I had €17.50 of gift coupons which I cashed on it so it came under €40 which I found acceptable.

Hmmm, cheers.

I may just get it then.

 

Although the Super Hyper Cube demo was great, not to mention  Windlands, Wayward Sky, Tethered and Until Dawn all deserve buying.

Ahhh, too many games.

For films? No, they're a fixed resolution. For games that have Pro enhancements then probably, yes.

[sofasurfer]

Right...I'm once again on the hunt for a solitary move controller after getting dicked around by a seller on AVF. If anyone know where to get one for a reasonable price it would be much appreciated.

[Thread Astaire]

There's a buy it now on eBay for £30 or one you can bid on for £20. Not sure if that helps?

[Clipper]

been trying to find impressions of PS4PRo and I am hearing that the embargo on impressions etc is up on 7th Nov... is that right?

No-one knows, but that sounds about right.

On the Rift Super Sampling impacts quality of movies watched in the Cinema etc as well as games. So if the Cinema Mode in PSPRO is super sampled due to the additional oomph then you will indeed see improvements in image quality.
