PDoggy77 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 It's cool and all but the display is a lot fuzzier than I would expect from a $200-$400 device. Like a high res CRT. Then again, it was my first experience with VR when I tried it so maybe my expectations were too high. Huh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emrys Posted October 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 It's cool and all but the display is a lot fuzzier than I would expect from a $200-$400 device. Like a high res CRT. Then again, it was my first experience with VR when I tried it so maybe my expectations were too high. Huh.I've been watching a lot of videos for the PS VR/read a lot of info and this is one of the things I found. VG247: The fidelity of the screen feels like a big step down to me. Home TVs are pretty incredibly now, but this VR headset – and other’s like it – are grainy, the image is never as crisp and sharp as we’ve become used to. It feels like as much as VR is stepping forward in immersion, it’s taking a significant step back visually. Ranyard: We’ve really looked at what we can do with the processing power so we’re drawing everything at 60 frames per second, twice. It’s like doing a two-player 60 fps game on the TV. You’ve got to make a compromise in terms of speed and so on. You really can’t drop [frames per second] that’s the big difference. You can’t have slow down, that’s a big no-no. Sometimes we might have to over-compromise to guarantee that. My take on it, personally, if you look at games from the beginning of a console to the end of a console lifecycle, it’s streets apart. Launch titles on a new platform usually look a little bit better than games at the end of the last platform because developers have rinsed it. There will be a lot of that to come – this is first software, it’s not even released yet – we’re still learning a lot of the basics. We’ve written an engine just for VR, we started that 18 months ago from scratch. That engine can mature and we’ll get a lot more out of it.

deanzel Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 The $500 bundle up for preorder on Tuesday looks quite sexy. This may be the VR train that I jump on just for affordability and because I have to buy a PS4 in the near future for Persona 5 anyway. Hopefully there will be a nice sexy PS4/VR bundle coming out as well. The only thing that makes me hesitate is the new PS4.5 rumor that came out today...

RyviusRan Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 It's nice to see VR break into the Console market. I just hope it does well. I currently have an HTC Vive and I love the room scale experience. It's such a weird experience that I cannot explain it well enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
