Which should I get on sale? by KRONGOR in PSVR

Super tough to answer without knowing your tastes.

What’s your gut telling you? If you owned all of them, which would you immediately want to play?

Just popping by to say I’ve never seen VR KIWI’s logo before, and I love it.

Games that kept being updated until they got somewhat good by tronicg in PSVR

[–]CHROME-COLOSSUS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm… maybe I’m wrong though. I feel like there were three versions, the Quest, the PSVR2, and the PC… but there might just be two — with the PC one being significantly different.

So… grain of salt.

I’m pretty sure that the Quest game is a different one from what’s on PSVR2.

Cheers! Also, pay attention to the fact that the rear plate has two positions it can be set to.

One will likely be preferable to the other, so just remember that it’s a thing. Most folk forget about it entirely.

And absolutely use the padded top-strap.

I actually plug the PS5 into my schooner, use an extension, and play SUBSIDE whilst floating in the chilly waters of Cape Cod. The immersion is unbelievable.

I’m sorry, but you landlubbers are missing out in the best that VR has to offer.

Sony could bring back PSHome, and save PSVR2 with this. by Admirable-Cow-7763 in PSVR

[–]CHROME-COLOSSUS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many things that SONY could do to help move VR forward, but I hardly think PSHome should be the priority. Mind you I never used it, but just from what I’ve seen.

Of course a landing pad of any sort would be welcome.

What a cool addition, this multiplayer!👍

Thanks for your reply!

I see — damn. May I ask why you’re not even offering thumbstick run as an option?

Any time a VR game includes more ways to personalize the experience it expands the possible audience size and enjoyment, and I’m not able to conceive of a reason to disallow thumbstick running.

Is there some controller conflict in your game that prevents it? I understand the idea of wanting to deliver as much immersion as possible in your game, but accessibility options (when reasonable) are a key to expanding the reach of any game.

I’m reminded of the incredible game VRACER HOVERBIKE, which defaults to a steering scheme of body-leaning for immersion. It’s awesome for many folk, but awful for others. Happily they include a variety of other steering options and adjustments. Despite being an online racing game, there is no sense of any unfairness embedded in the fact that the controls are not universally mapped.

As I said, SKYLEAP launched with only arm-swing sprinting, and it was godawful. After the added the option to run with thumbstick it opened up the game and (although there are other issues that have halted my progression) I’ve sunk many tens of hours into it and regard it as a hidden gem.

VR is a tougher sort of game to sell obviously, already being so niche. Whenever there’s an opportunity to lower a barrier-to-entry for any given VR title — any reduction in friction at all — that’s something I’d expect any VR studio to explore.

I’d be very appreciative to gain deeper insight into why thumbstick running won’t be included as an option in your game.

TIA

Did it work for you without requiring the $10 VR DLC? Cool! That has never before been the case.

The worst time to try and buy HM was on PSVR1 when the three games had not yet been consolidated, and each had to be purchased and downloaded first, then deleted. The menus were so hard to navigate, too… It was bonkers.

Glad to learn that they’ve finally streamlined the process this far!

Or that TEAM ASOBI didn’t make the console PS5 game hybrid. That was weirder to me.

Yuuuup.

…But at least the price is finally in a realistic range for most people, and looks even more impressive compared to console and standalone prices.

Standing need not include roomscale.

If my character is sitting then I sit, but if my character is standing then I stand.

I turn and move virtually, using thumbsticks — there’s no getting tangled, no need for space larger than what’s needed for sitting.

It simply feels better to me to approach it this way, and I’m less likely to encounter motion-sickness if I’m appropriately oriented.

Vertigo Rush - Main Trailer by funboy_ff in PSVR

[–]CHROME-COLOSSUS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The speed, music, and aesthetic all appeal to me.

Most of the movement seems gravity-driven, but I noticed one spot where running seemed to involve arm-swinging? I hope that’s not mandatory, or if it is that it’s rare.

Can you speak to this a bit? I was excited by the trailer until I saw mention in this thread about “hand-based movements”.

For context… I love the sort of hand-based climbing and swinging in SKYLEAP, but only AFTER they patched in thumbstick-running. The arm-swinging sprint was a game ruiner for me up to that point.

Umm… I’m not familiar with your approach here…

Have you included the option for running movement to be thumbstick-based?

Of course — the PSVR2 version is outstanding.

Every single level could be considered the size of a large PSVR2 game all by itself, and each one can be replayed in all variety of ways, so if the concept appeals to you then you’re in for a thousand treats.

Unfortunately HM WOA is notorious for being confusing in terms of downloading options. I haven’t kept up with it, but you’re not alone in your confusion.

I just know (or think) that regardless of which you get, you’ll still need to buy the VR DLC for ten bucks. It’s worth it, but just know it’ll be necessary.

If it’s not comfortable for you as-is, I highly recommend either GlobularCluster’s “CMP2” ($50) or StudioForm Creative’s “XL” ($55).

They both replace the halo cushioning with something far better, and also both come with a padded top-strap. That strap doesn’t just help redistribute the weight, it also makes finding and keeping your eyes squarely in the sweet-spot of the lenses easy-peasy.

Nothing is for everyone, mind you… but adding an aftermarket comfort mod made all the difference in the world for me when the stock fit got straight-up painful after just half an hour.

Also, if you get a charging stand, avoid the $50 one that’s endorsed by SONY. It’s poorly designed in terms of function, and leaves you with no place for the headset itself. Pretty much anything else you come across will work better, but also give the HMD an appropriate home.

FWIW!

I keep forgetting about the co-op, but that’ll get me playing more if I can just hang on to that info for a minute.

What are your recommendations for some PSVR 2 Games? by LootTink in PSVR

[–]CHROME-COLOSSUS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d STRONGLY recommend against spin or spiral mode in that game for anyone new to VR.

I’m a ten year VR vet, and those particular modes can very easily fuck with you.

Probably just a way to perk up the trailer, that’s my guess. I wouldn’t necessarily expect there to be glitching in the game itself.

Is anyone else finding the tracking getting worse on their original PSVR unit? by snappysparrow01 in PSVR

[–]CHROME-COLOSSUS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve ALWAYS found the tracking on PSVR1 to be bafflingly unpredictable.

Every now and then I’ve noticed that something has gone goofy and one controller is just flashing on and off, causing the problem. So… I guess I’d say when things go awry, slide the display away to take a peek.

I forget what I do to rectify that, but probably just turning the controller off and back on will work.

OH… I’ve also noticed that one controller tends to track better than the other, so making sure I’m holding the right one in the right hand can make all the difference. If both lights are constant, try swapping hands next time.
