@Shifty Geezer I have not seen much besides optional VR modes like in RE and gt sport.
But then you haven't been looking. How much effort is it to Google 'List of PSVR games'?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_VR_games
247 titles launched in North America since release.
I see a wobbly camera and some platforming. I am not trying to be a cynic I swear but the vid pretty much affirms what I've seen about VR.
Which is what all VR looks like from the outside. Now go look at the
reviews.
It's 90 rated by both critics and users.
Read the reviews.
Astro Bot Rescue Mission is not only the best PSVR title to date, but also arguably the best platformer of this generation so far.
Super Mario 64 showed us the possibilities of 3D platform gaming more than 20 years ago. Now, Astro Bot: Rescue Mission is finally here to do the same for VR
Astro Bot Rescue Mission is the best game for PlayStation VR to date. The levels are brilliant and the VR-experience is overwhelming. Everyone with a PS VR should buy this game.
Astro Bot Rescue Mission is a pretty wonderful platformer, but VR does something that lifts it to the heady realms of actual magic: it allows you to climb inside its world. As is often the case with third-person VR, something truly astonishing takes place when a character you control is no longer running back and forth across the screen, but is now running up and down and around the position where you are actually sat.
Monster Hunter World is rated 90 by critics, 78 by users. Spider-Man is rated 87 by critics, 88 by users. Yet you dismiss the game completely out of hand based on a prejudiced view of gameplay vid that cannot possibly convey the sense of presence that makes VR unique and special. It's like watching a trailer for the world's first colour broadcast on a black-and-white TV and concluding there's nothing special about colour.
Then there are other titles like Fireteam, Oblivion, and the upcoming Borderlands. The reason you haven't seen much is you haven't been looking, because VR doesn't interest you. Which is fine, but to then form opinions on the state of the product based on such a limited perception is ludicrous.
Vr in its current form is exactly nothing but a window strapped to your head, and you still need a controller to play the games. It's the new fad right now just like wii motion (IR pointing was great) was.
If you actually research VR, you'll realise that it's a game changer (though it doesn't work for some people) because of the psychological shift. VR can transport you
into another space. It provides enough sensory input and movement correlation to fool your brain. It's as far ahead of TV as TV is from radio, yet you dismiss it as a window strapped to your head. There are also plenty of games that use the Move controllers or the Aim controller - evolutions of the Wii camera tracking you considered had been left to die a quiet death.
Personally I have seen some PSVR in stores selling for $150 at least, maybe $100 at one walmart.
Why rely on your localised personal anecdotes when there's a whole internet of information out there? PSVR is still priced full-price at retail, with the occasional bundle. Currently listed at an average of about $250 on the
Walmart website (which seems Amazony). You seeing some stores moving old/B stock at budget prices is lousy data to form an opinion around.
