I know that, sorry, I didn't really express myself well there because my point was that it would seem that this is the first instance of a VR game being developed for PS5 (not PS4) that will be playable with, presumably, the current headset.

Twibbit posted:I swear in an old interview they said you would be able to use psvr1 on PS5. Mostly so you could still play Ps4 games in backcompat. Going in on a new HD Move camera's kinda weird; Non-VR Move stuff is very dead and a single static camera's just the worst VR tracking option they could opt to utilize, unless they're gonna get esoteric and combine it with inside-out tracking from the headset.

Yeah, it's a weird move (no pun intended). I wish some loving game "journalist" would ask Sony what is up.

Well at least they're not completely dead in marketing it. They're putting out a new bundle with Iron Man.

haveblue posted:EA just announced that the entirety of Star Wars Squadrons will be playable in VR I literally first pumped and shouted when I watched that trailer. I had pretty much given up hope for a modern X-Wing vs Tie Fighter. I normally don’t side with the Empire but the Tie Interceptor is my jam so I guess it’s death to rebel scum time soon.

X-Wing never stuck with me, for some reason. Possibly because I preferred the more cinematic Wing Commander style, or because power management seemed to be the single most important thing. That being said, depending on how much movement capability they give the ships this could be a day one purchase. I just hope the campaign is an actual thing and not a sideshow to the multiplayer.

CaptainApathyUK posted:Not that you'd know it from the trailer, but Squadrons has a VR mode that will also let you crossplay with PC. I would be extremely hyped for this if it was a worthy X-wing successor but it seems it is more battlefront spaceships-only mode, with EA style unlocks and a tacked-on single player campaign. But we will see. And it.might be worth it for 2 hours of SP VR-spaceflight

No way it'll have Move support either, which isn't bad as such, but the DS4 flight controls in the Battlefront games felt super weird to me.

So I played the Iron Man VR demo and its..fine? They are pushing the PSVR to its limits but the tracking seemed to work ok, the controls were fine. But I found myself not quite enjoying it like I thought I would be. Flying around the training level was good fun, but the part where you are fighting the drones felt like a rail-shooter at times. I didn’t feel like I got to maneuver around the environment like I wanted to. I was less dog-fighting the drones by flying around and more “moving up/down or side/to side to dodge their shots while pelting them with mine”. I absolutely love the concept but it really needs a better system to do what I think the developers are aiming for. Maybe PSVR2.

If I had to choose between these, which would you choose: Unearthing Mars Ultrawings sprint vector Windlands Rush VR (I played this on an oculus Go, and it seemed fun, but not worth it if it wasn’t any better looking/feeling on PSVR which I assume it is, but this is probably lower on my list if I had to put these in any order).

Rise of the Tomb Raider is one of the free PSPlus games for July. Even if you have no interest in the base game, download it for the exploring the Croft manor in VR mode, which still looks fantastic despite being one of the earliest PSVR releases.

Beastie posted:Is Gorn good? It's not a very deep game and the controls are kinda meh but it's a great exercise and/or stress relief game. Sometimes I'll fire up endless mode with max damage and minimum gravity and spend a few minutes just punching dudes into orbit. The campaign is really short but endless mode has a bunch of different modifiers to tweak to play however you want. If it were more than $20 I'd say it probably wouldn't be worth it but at that price I think you'll get what you pay for.

So is no one excited for Iron Man VR? I thought the demo was really great and everything they've shown has me really interested. There's barely any talk about it which is weird even for a PSVR game and the launch is only a few days away, plus it's a 40 dollar title to boot. Just kinda baffled that more folks aren't taking to it.

Doesn't hurt that the game looks fun and ambitious, but couldn't try the demo yet (due to the lack of said move controllers).

Thinking about it, it's kinda great they're bundling Moves with the game like that. Risky, this late in the generation and all but for what it's worth, the demo alone convinced me to get the game and most people who have played it have good things to say. It's just that it hasn't gotten all that much media presence despite being a Marvel Studios game and all.

It's just that it hasn't gotten all that much media presence despite being a Marvel Studios game and all. Seeing as we're probably not going to get an updated version of the headset nor controllers anytime soon or at least not before the launch of the PS5, I'm surprised they don't go on sale more often to get more people into it. It doesn't help that (PS)VR seems super interesting but unless you get into it, it looks extremely niche from the outside. I only became more interested in it when I got the PSVR on a whim during the days of play sale, and was kind of surprised and overwhelmed at how many games/experiences/devices we've got nowadays. My impression of VR shortly before that was still "clunky, expensive, needs a lot of room and a hardcore gaming PC" so things like the Oculus Quest completely blindsided me when I started getting more into it. I even went to a VR Arcade with some friends in January and that didn't help making us realize how portable these things have become, quite the contrary. Gotta agree with you though, while I saw a lot of coverage of Iron Man VR on the usual PSVR Youtube channels, it's like the game doesn't exist outside of it. Looks like Sony didn't realize this might be their "Alyx" moment, which is pretty on brand for them, I guess.

I'd expect a massive price drop on PSVR nearing the launch of the PS5 so Sony can get non-PCVR people into VR prior to announcing PSVR2. VR is notoriously hard to market though, what with it being 3D and all and 3D not being the standard in any way so every trailer is likely to be 2D 30fps which doesn't represent the game at all.

I'm hoping to snag Iron Man from Gamefly, but I kind of agree with Solaris 2.0 in that the demo level felt like a rail shooter after a bit. The concept is cool and I hope they do cool things with it.

Being totally upfront about this on two separate points: 1: It really is just kind of a first person explorer mode, so don’t go in expecting full Lara Croft shooter adventures in VR. 2: It made my mom cry over how pretty it is. It’s a phenomenal VR demo even if it’s not in the same genre as the main game.

Proud gaming moment: Finally got an Elite Pass on the last A+ race on WipEout Omega Collection, all in VR. Took me forever too after a ton of tries where I was sure the AI was cheating and.. turns out it was. There are only a couple of ships you can use for the A+ challenges which don't glitch out the AI to be impossibly aggressive, fast and perfect in every way, apparently. Managed to get second place many times before I figured it out, though. Still have a few Zones (ugh), combat challenges and time trials to Elite Pass and I'll have one for every event in 2048!

I'm trying to wrap up the remaining trophies for ABRM because I figured it'd be a fun plat. Man, the speed based challenge missions are made by a sadistic bastard. Most of the other challenges are mildly challenging but getting gold on some of the speed ones were making me want to pull my hair out. It's basically perfect speed run time and I was failing them by fractions of a second. Spent upwards of an hour each with two of them. The flashlight one was making me want to throw my headset across the room.
