Stop when you feel weird, and eventually you won’t need to stop. I can’t say how long it takes but just stick to that rule.

 

I have done multiple hours in a B-wing starfighters cockpit, rotating 360 degrees and throwing it all over the place and never had any problem once I had that tolerance.

My missus never plays videogames apart from multiplayer Nintendo stuff when she is forced, but she is mustard to try GT7 - the allure of driving fast sports cars we will never be able to afford :lol:

 

She’s in for quite a shock I think having never tried VR.

A good idea, imo, is to play standing up and rotate your body rather than using the thumbstick to look around. I never use the right thumbsticks for looking, feels like my brain and eyeballs are being violated. Smooth turn, snap turn 45 degrees, doesn't matter

 

I don't rate the seated vr experience personally, outside of things like Elite Dangerous and racing sims

Headset impressions itself - It's fine. I'm finding I need to fiddle and adjust it every so often to get comfortable or find that sweet spot again which is a tad annoying. When you find the sweet spot, the picture is sharp(ish) but when you move your eyes around to the edges it loses clarity. Although not as bad as previous VR headsets it also has that red/green pixel thing on white edges which is most noticeable when it's showing just a 2D screen. It also has that rubber smell which I now associate with motion sickness when I played some ropey, low res PSVR games such as Driveclub. The rubber also irritates my nose making it itch. Apart from that, it's great 😂

 

Played an hour or so of Horizon and GT7 (with wheel) - most impressive thing to me is the HDR lighting in GT7. When you drive in day races, the effect of the sun breaking through the clouds and glinting off your instrument panel is fantastic and it's almost like you can feel the heat on your skin. Then at night, the headlights in your mirrors from other cars behind you is amazing. This is the one thing that makes it a step-up from other headsets I've tried.

 

Will try RE8 later.

For those of you who have managed to build ip a tolerance and gain your ‘VR legs’ how long did this take, and how long were your sessions each time? I’ve been watching some YouTubers, so enthusiasts, who basically say they’ve become immune to motion sickness now, is that how it is for you guys?

 

For now I’m going to play some more games like Tetris or Moss which are recommended to get you used to VR. GT7 is thrilling but it seems to be one for VR the veterans amongst us. 

 

PSVR1 was my first experience of new VR, and I adjusted fairly well. The first game I tried outside of the Playroom stuff was Tumble VR - it's pretty nice as a first time experience because you're just in a virtual room picking up blocks and things - there's nothing too intense. And then I went straight to Rez :D but even that was mostly fine. So if you have a simple game like Tumble VR that doesn't have a lot of fast 3D movement, you can get used to being in a virtual space fairly quickly.

The only other advice would be to avoid long play sessions at first, even if you think you can handle it. Going in for a single area of Rez was fine for me, but attempting Direct Assault (all zones back to back) was way too much at first. It's hard to describe but you get mentally exhausted trying to suspend disbelief and parse the virtual space for so long, and I just got pulled out of the moment - rather than looking into the depth of the game I just felt like I had two screens of polygons inches from my face. :wacko: I did go back to it later and could handle it more easily, so your tolerance will improve - for me it was only a few days of acclimatisation.

I wish they would put all the games in one section on the store - the PSVR2 section has only a fraction of what’s actually available, and some of those aren’t out yet either. 
 

Thinking of getting Moss Book II, not sure if that’s a reworking of the first game or a fully fledged sequel.

What's missing from the VR section? That's the only section I've been shopping from 😬

Is anyone else concerned about the USB-C socket on the PS5? I'm thinking of getting a passthrough cable that I can leave attached to the console & Velcro strap to the leg of my stand, takes the weight off the socket and saves wear from un-plugging and plugging the headset back in as well as any accidental pulls on the cable. Question is, will a USB-C extension/breakout thing work?

Moss, the first game which has been updated for VR, Job Simulator, those are two I searched for but there are supposed to be 40+ games I think, they may have added more to that section but it definitely didn’t have everything earlier today. 
 

Job Sim is on there and some others - the cover of that fitness thing :lol: who is Lee Mills :unsure:

pretty sure usb c extension leads work ok so I don’t see why that wouldn’t work.

You’ll need a very long one to stretch out into the garden so the Missus doesn’t catch you with your new toy.

Oh. His game looks entirely unappealing. Never judge a book by its cover they say, but I’m struggling there.

I’m going to spray the headset pink and get some stick on googley eyes. Fool proof.

I have played a fair bit of PSVR1 (including twenty plus hours in Skyrim) and a little bit of Quest 2 stuff.

 

I'm pretty blown away by the PSVR2, played a short bit on GT7 just to see it. Then switched to Kayak and played around in the pool, then Costa Rica beaches, lovely, relaxing. Then chucked on Call of the Mountain. WOW! Just stunning to look at. Shooting the bow is great, no wobbly bad tracking like PSVR1 used to get with those bloody move controllers. Played through the intro and then thought I better have a break, an hour on and then ten to twenty minutes off is probably wise.

 

I wear glasses all the time for astigmatism and haven't felt that it's had any adverse affects. The screen is crisp and text is legible. Very impressed and pleased so far. :)
