kingpotato Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I have only played beat saber on the PS4 VR, its very good but I really want to try the Skyrim and doom ports. I have played some VR games with a VR set that was for smart phones only, they where very boring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would be the point with the tiny screen? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only cool stuff I found was scary VR videos, you could only move your head and stuff was happening around you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, attaching more weight to my face doesn't sound palatable with my neck problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you dont really feel the weight , but then again I only used it for short videos or games, I imagine that if you try to watch a 3D movie on it is going to hurt your neck or strain your eyes, the goggles where a little uncomfortable.

I'm a bit of an unfortunate "princess and the pea" when it comes to this sort of thing. My muscular syndrome saps strength from my muscles. Basically, instead of 100% of my muscles being available to perform simple tasks, picture that some percentage is always under a load, and not able to perform. Even small things like carrying a handbag can hurt me 😞 I need that lightweight cardboard VR headset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They shouldn't be hard to make I think, I wouldnt recommend the ones from the Switch, not because their bad, is because they are to expensive for a pair cardboard goggles😆. I dont know how Nintendo gets away with charging 60 dollars for card board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, well its not going to be anything that complicated, It will have to be a VR set similar to the one I have that is for phones only, the most important and more likely most difficult will be getting the lens, with them you can get the VR effect, just put the phone horizontally on the other side of lens with a VR video or game As for the sound well I guess a simple pair of headphones or earbuds will do. And of course the frame keeping everything together will be made of cardboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanC Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I super enjoyed playing Thumper and Until Dawn: A Rush Of Blood in PSVR. Sounds trite, but the immersion factor for arcadey games like these is pretty hard to beat once you’ve tried them in VR. That said, it does get a little uncomfotable for longer play sessions. Because of this, definitely try before you buy to see if VR’s for you @StaceyPowers Haven’t tried Beat Saber yet @kingpotato but I’ve only heard great things about it - supposed to be brilliant.

skyfire Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Dinosaurus VR game is good if you like the jungle kind of effect. Though I won't expect much from current VR because we are yet to have the fear type sensation. Its kind of limited as of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
