V. Amoleo Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) The PlayStation VR breakout box not supporting HDR is a massive annoyance now. Why the hell did they not make it HDMI 2.0a HDCP 2.2 compatible, it's not like the PS4 Pro was a surprise to them? Update: It takes me thirty minutes to swap over the cables because of how my PS4 is installed. I can't even find any HDMI switches which correctly pass through 2160p60 and HDR. So it pretty much means for me it's going to take longer to setup than the Vive. Ugh! Oh, I used a Vive the other day. It was just some underwater demo. Was neat but nothing amazing. The experience was kind of ruined by the massive "stop moving" grids that appeared. Those grids can be disabled or dimmed. Edited November 10, 2016 by V.

If anybody ends up in a similar situation to me I can confirm that this cable successfully passes all the needed 2160p60 + HDR data when plugged into the amp and the correct VR data when plugged into the VR breakout box. I was having no luck at all using HDMI couplers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V. Amoleo Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Ooooh this is interesting. A third party has worked with HTC to make a 'wireless upgrade kit'. It's pricey but it's cheaper than having to replace the entire device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Finished thumper, incredible game, will definitely go back to it for high scoring. @somme what is play + one hit kill mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somme Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Finished thumper, incredible game, will definitely go back to it for high scoring. @somme what is play + one hit kill mode? Apparently it's faster and more "violent". I had a whirl on Level 1 + and it did seem faster. Still managed to S grade the level on my first go, though I did notice I also got an S+ grade for one of the parts. Haven't seen that before.

Ashley Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Played Oculus (or however you spell it) at around 5am which is perfect time. Was surprised with how light it was. Played Lucky's Tale which was as expected and Room 202 (or something like that) which was a fun experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, not a big fan of stuff like this, a highscore game mode, but it repeats the levels with a mild change... I'd rather play the proper game and improve my scores.

Oh I know, just feels like a poor way of extending it to me, I'm not going to touch it, I'll focus on the main game high scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, yes, it's quite cruel. Especially seeing as the main game is hard enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 So nobody's PS VR is collecting dust yet? Is anyone getting plenty of enjoyment out of it without move controllers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somme Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 So nobody's PS VR is collecting dust yet? Is anyone getting plenty of enjoyment out of it without move controllers? No dust! And yeah you can, a lot of games work fine with the DS4 alone. But the Move controllers are much better for gun wielding games. In Until Dawn for example, if you had a DS4, you move both hands at the same time. If you have Move controllers you can move them independently, like real arms, and shoot in opposite directions. Also, I wrote a review for Robinson, if anyone was thinking about picking it up: https://psvr-reviews.com/2016/11/14/robinson-the-journey/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 @Shorty definitely not, exactly what I needed to give a bit of spark to gaming; even the simplest of games is fun to play. It's still a bit tech demo-y, and probably very expensive all things considered, but if money isn't a big factor then it's an exciting medium. Ands it's worth it for thumper Cheers @somme, the game appeals to me, but not sure of content yet so I'll wait and hope it comes down in price.

somme Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Hope this comes to PSVR: Also, not sure if anyone is tempted to by The Martian VR Experience, but don't. Not worth the money by a long shot. Should've been free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtMediocre Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 No game should really be free though, if not they've been made by some random dude in a bedroom. Just the fact that there are so many free games out for the VR platform is awesome . I tried Google Maps on my Oculus DK2 yesterday (just make Steam think it's a Vive, super easy), and it is an awesome experience . Great way to showcase VR for new people ^^.

Just the fact that there are so many free games out for the VR platform is awesome . But it's not even really a game. More of a very-limited-slightly-interactive promo for a year old movie. And they charged 15 quid. Alumette, a VR stop-motion short film was released on launch day, was free, and much, much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 (edited) Finally got my Vive set up how I want it and my Internet connection sorted so it can stay connected during VR sessions. Had a try of Google Earth VR and its great. Only thing thats a shame is the low textures of stuff when you get closer and the lack of 3D buildings when you leave cities but thats just stuff that will get better as it goes on. Its also the first VR experience I've had so far that had my legs going all wobbly. I also tried BigScreen. This is one of those programs which lets you setup a room and invite people to watch whatevers on your PC screen. I joined a room called Hearthstone and found someone watching porn so I'd already say its a success! lol Edited December 3, 2016 by Happenstance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somme Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 So the Resident Evil 7: Beginning Hour demo has been updated to incorporate a VR mode. From what I've heard it's really good. Apparently it also looks much better than the Kitchen demo, which was pretty ugly. I'm way too much of a wuss to give it a go myself though. I'll have to gear myself up for it!
