    • RE: PSVR Hype???

      @Inustar yep, i wear glasses in my vive with no problem. I havent played PSVR but ive put an offline headset on at work and its actually the most comfortable of the bunch (except for google daydream, apparently).

    • RE: PSVR Hype???

      @V8Dave @matt primary reason for nausea in VR is a thing called Vestibular Disconnect. Basically when what your brain is perceiving isn't matching up with what your inner ear is experiencing. A lot of early VR is experimental, so much so that even AAA devs are still learning along us indies (in some cases I'd say we've been problem solving in VR for longer). Things like hitting the right FPS and implementing better locomotion systems and so on, everyone's trying different shit. Games with cockpits are usually more palatable because your brain understands it is on some sort of vehicle, but as you've experienced with the Driveclub demo that's not always the case. that can then be up to imperfect tracking or refresh rate. As the PSVR is on the lower end of the spectrum in capabilities, you might find more of its games give that effect at first. Its absolutely something you can get acclimated to though.

      It's still not acceptable in my opinion. Good design solves these issues, and as the tech evolves and designers grow in experience no one will have this problem :)

      @matt yep, we are bringing our episodic game The Gallery to PSVR (out on Vive, coming to Touch on the Rift too), just assessing the viability of porting and stuff :)

    • RE: What Was Your First Game?

      I had an odd order to my gaming. I started on Kings Quest V, and THEN went to Mario on the NES.

    • RE: Darkest Dungeon (PC/PS4/Vita)

      absolutely one of the coolest games I've played. I really need to get round to playing more of it, its really cahllenging but in a deeply satisfying way.

      I'm VR ready! but I work on VR games too. Currently using a Vive, getting a rift soon. I'm yet to try the PSVR, very excited for that
