Resident Evil VII is out in two weeks. I can't discuss it though as it's under embargo.

Re: How big are you expecting the PS4 VR to be?
The repatched first hour demo was the best experience ive had gaming for a looooooong time. Im not sure how the shooting mechanics will work but atmosphere and scare wise its unbeatable at the moment. I found myself pushing doors and actually poking my head around the door to check and looking behind me a second later and having that experience unbroken by loading times or pauses while someting is drawn.
A lot of the other experiences ive had with vr have been almost gimmicky, but this has been Wow..,

Re: How big are you expecting the PS4 VR to be?
to be fair I think the main focus needs to be getting the tech out on shelves at a sustainable rate to stop scalpers but that said theres does need to be games to keep intrest personaly i'm in it for the likes of rollercoaster dreams and sports bar vr ect i'm unsure if i want to play resi 7 vr ect but I do hope sociable soccer gets psvr supportRayne wrote:Any word on more major VR releases? The system has been out now for about three months and so far I don't see much in the way of hype/discussion about it...

if you dont think youll play the whole game at least try first hour demo just to experience the true horror of nearly being there.

Definitely, it's an incredibly creepy experience. My reviews all ready for next issue, but I've focused on the non VR aspects as that's what the vast majoirty of readers will be playing.RetroAerosmith wrote:if you dont think youll play the whole game at least try first hour demo just to experience the true horror of nearly being there.
Re: How big are you expecting the PS4 VR to be?
That's a fair point. I really, really hope the technology hits the mainstream and it takes off. The time spent with my VR set was far and away one of the most exciting gaming experiences I've had in years. Without wanting to sound cliche, no gaming system has made me feel that sense of wonder since I got my first gaming system when I was 4 years old!stayAwhile wrote:to be fair I think the main focus needs to be getting the tech out on shelves at a sustainable rate to stop scalpers but that said theres does need to be games to keep intrest personaly i'm in it for the likes of rollercoaster dreams and sports bar vr ect i'm unsure if i want to play resi 7 vr ect but I do hope sociable soccer gets psvr supportRayne wrote:Any word on more major VR releases?

Just, with it being new tech + price barrier + Sony's track record of support, I was concerned I hadn't heard anything about it for a while. Hype seems to have died down a bit. I suppose the biggest challenge will be giving VR meaningful AAA titles without regular PS4 users feeling left out.

Re: How big are you expecting the PS4 VR to be?
I saw a video on how you can hook up your old consoles and play them in Cinema mode (looks like you're playing them on a huge cinema screen). You just need a box to convert your console to output in HDMI. Don't know how playable they would be, but i'd like to experience that some time!

That would be great. Elite, The Eidolon, Mercenary, Dungeon Master, 3D Monster Maze...binaryRooster wrote:I saw a video on how you can hook up your old consoles and play them in Cinema mode (looks like you're playing them on a huge cinema screen).

Even non-first-person games I'd imagine would be good, too. I'd like to play Paradroid, Uridium, and Rambo on a cinema screen

Well Resident Evil proves that you can make a meaningful AAA experience for regular PS4 owners while delivering an astonishing VR experience. It hopefully isn't that difficult to implement.Rayne wrote:

My local Game has a demo set up for Resident Evil VII. £2 for the Cheap MDF rubbish scene, £5 for a 15 min session.
Was tempted but low on funds. Besides, I'd probably either scare the heck outta myself or swear my mouth off my accident....
EDIT
Huh.....why's the K word censored?

Re: How big are you expecting the PS4 VR to be?
I bought another move controller £40cex without the charging lead -but thats another story that progably belongs in grind gears thread.
Anyway had rush of blood for xmas somwanted to play that. Fiddly trying to get the move controllers to connect but got there in the end. id had the move controllers on charge...well i thought i had...id forgotten how sly sony were where you cant use ANY usb lead..you had to use one with that thick dongle on the cable.
One had charged, one hadnt so i had to play with one plugged in the usb. It actually plays really well in a house of the dead/time crisis kind of way....warning though...because i had to stand to play, you are on a ghostbtrain come rollercoaster and as soon as it started climbing up the tracks to go down rapidly i almost went through the TV as it felt so real.
There was also a free demo of tombraider which is supposed to be VR so ive not played it yet, also havent tried the demo disc that came with it, is it worth opening?

It is best to download the demo list as it comes with more than the disc does. So not worth opening the disc, just download and get around 5 more games to try.
