I'm waiting for Sony to release a wireless PSVR2, then I'll be on board. I've already tried and original PSVR and liked it a lot, just needs to be wireless.

[JayJ350]

I got PSVR and it's okay I guess, kinda interesting but if it has accomplished anything that is making it so I no longer give a chit about VR. Maybe some day when they REALLY got it down, but for a while it's just not the way I will seek out my entertainment.

[MikeLowrrrey]

VR was a short lived gimmick. It's fun at first but gets old REAL quick....and even then, it's only good for porn and nothing else. I had an Oculus Rift, sold that ****.

You're smoking crack. I haven't tried the Rift, but PSVR and the Oculus Quest are crazy immersive. I played Resident Evil 7 on the psvr and it's crazy how good it is. Played Firewall Zero Hour which is like a Rainbow 6 tactical shooter and it was mind blowing realistic. It feels like you're standing by real people in real life.

And the Trolling potential in VR is off the charts, I haven't experienced or seen any yet, but it will make or break you. Things feel much more personal. If i get in your face in VR, it's gonna feel like I'm in your face for real.

I have nothing bad to say about PSVR outside of having to deal with several connections. The main issue with PSVR is that it's wired. Once they go wireless and utilize the PS5 power it'll be great.

VR is not short lived lol, its the future. Everything from games to surfing the internet to communication to business. Humans will be wired into computers casting VR into their brains within 100 years.

They're starting to use it in the Construction field too. Hell, imagine searching for houses online with a vr option. You can inspect the home right in your chair.

Well it is kind of a gimmicky nerd thing right now. It just requires a ton of specialized equipment and a lot of dedication, and the effects of VR gaming definitely isn't the sort of thing that is going to agree with everybody. It's sort of the same way it was in the past, more accessible but still not where it needs to be to really work easily for most people. It's no wonder why you can only find nerds on the internet who are passionate about it.

that's why the quest 2 is so good. requires no set up other than doing a quick guardian/play area tracing thing. no base stations, no wires, no high end PC required (you can hook it up to a PC via a cable or using virtual desktop+wifi tho), all you need is the headset and controllers. plus, it's only $300 for the base model so it's absolutely accessible and much easier to use than gen 1 headsets

Yeah they are starting to get there, but it still needs some time and work before it's something I could see most people easily embracing.

There isn’t going to be a vr controlled society in the future . We don’t even have 100 more years left the planet will be dead by then. 100% srs.

Just watch .

[mgftp]

I wouldn't say VR is a gimmick but it's never going to be mainstream.

Just watch? How can I see what happens in 100 years when I will die of old age before then?

It’ll happen in our lifetime..... perhaps 🤔 under the coming administration. One day to go 🤦‍♂️
Some of you maybe helped that *looks at E-Go*

VR is amazing when you get older and all your mates have families/different schedules. About 7 of us got Quest 2's during the Covid outbreak and have replaced our social meet-ups (due to lockdowns at the time) with an app called Bigscreen VR.

Basically your own private VR cinema, invite your mates in, and the host can play movies, Netflix, etc. on the cinema screen, it's totally synced for everyone. The sense of scale is the same as real life in terms of the cinema/screen, etc. + having local chat, sitting in cushy seats next to friends and talking chit while watching a movie/show together is great.

Has become our go to "game" now just because it's so easy to jump on and "hang out" in a way when everyone's lives are busy and interrupted. Recline in my pc chair, headset on, be at the movies with friends instantly and crack a beer irl... great experience.

I'm more excited for this chit in regards to VR than I am with any gaming. VR has so much potential outside of gaming.

Not really man, my Quest 2 plays wirelessly stand alone, or tethered to PC with a simple USB 3 cable. No cameras or wires and chit going all over my room, just plug and play basically. A few of my PC newbie friends picked them up and we've been having a blast.

If I had no friends with it though I'd never use it to be fair lol. It's amazing for social/multiplayer with people you know + a few drinks.

No game beats the fun of chilling with friends watching movies in VR. No need to go outside anymore.... lol.

Wake me up when it's realistic and I can be banging alien prostitutes from Mars.

Well enjoy your long nap boyo, that's a pretty specific request.

But yea, VR is nuts. Superhot is crazy fun, the walking dead is great, and if you've got the pc to run it, Half Life is another level. Hell, just a simple zombie shooting game like Drop Dead Dual Strike multiplayer is fun as chit.

Been waiting for it to be better. I played half life alyx on the index on a pretty beefy computer and it was great, very very immersive. It still felt kind of janky though you know, like grabbing things was derpy. I lost my balance a few times due to the way motion was handled. I think there needs to be a full locomotion/stop system for VR to really take off. The omni-directional treadmill is a good direction. The problem I am seeing is VR that incorporates full body movement requires very complex rigging that could only be feasible in a commercial setting. VR themeparks maybe? The Void in Utah tried/is trying to do something like that.

On Alyx after a few days I got very natural at the grabbing stuff.

For me I reset the movement to actual walking/running instead of the teleporting because agreed that type of motion was not realistic.

[Parkerscott]

Been watching a lot of netflix on my quest 2. Pretty cool having basically a cinema sized display, and the quality is decent enough for me.

Also starting a cut again and beat saber is a pretty good supplement. Theres a calorie tracker that isn't too accurate, but you can definitely tell you are getting some exercise in. Basically a week in so far putting in about an hour or two, and im getting pretty good pretty quick. Fun way to burn some calories whenever. Interested in seeing where i might be three months from now if i keep it up.

Unfortunately I don't have any friends with one yet so I havent been able to get the full vr experience. Mainly just netflix and beatsaber is all I have really got to experience, and its definitely been worth the money so far.

[Prose]

I've been wanting to get one for the lolz
The trolling vids on utube r hilarious

[Deathstroke]

I keep going back and forth. I’ll not use either of my TWO VR Quests for weeks then I’ll hop on and enjoy one of them for a few days.

The trolls in the theatre are unreal.

[Deathstroke]

The theater of pain I like to call it. It’s a platform for trolls, like chat rooms in the 90s.

[MystikBrah]

can confirm thrill of the fight gets me winded after a few fights on endurance. had a bunch of friends also try it and they got winded before they even finished a fight. its pretty fun and relaxing to play topgolf with a bunch of friends

[SillieBazzillie]

Man shut ur old ass up

Why so angry?


And population one is pretty nifty.

[tk217]

Problem for me is the horrible headache I get after 1 hour of gameplay.

[gbullock32]

First time playing my Quest 2, Thrill of the Fight. Neat.

Turn around and see a guy standing there and damn near lose my sht, then I remember it's VR. Dammit. Not that the graphics are that good, but it caught me by surprise, fcking ref just standing behind me.

Hilarious.

I know what you mean. I am playing Creed Rise of Glory now. My opponent circling me, and ends up behind me.

I’d still rather have a ps5!
