Review: Impressive console VR for a decent price - Who can forget the resurgence of interest from the Lawnmower Man movie in 1992 leading to dodgy looking VR arcade machines? We may have been going mad for it back then, but until recently VR at home has remained out of reach for most people. Google Cardboard and Samsung Gear VR changed that, but not before the early adopters in the PC world got their hands on Vive and Rift, those rather expensive headsets that require equally expensive PC hardware to run them at their full potential. Sony’s PSVR aims to provide a middle ground to this market with a fuller VR experience than the mobile headsets but with a budget and hardware that isn’t as high end as the PC. It’s important to state this before going any further because it puts the PSVR into perspective, it’s around half the price of the PC VR sets but promises the same sort of experience, albeit with a little less detail. It might the price of a new console, but that’s still far more affordable than the price of a high end PC. But nobody was really sure it could live up to even these expectations, can a device like this really run from a console built in 2013? It seems it can, with some caveats. You’ll also need to ensure you either own or buy the PS4 camera. It came with early PS4 packs but can be bought separately, with a new version out to match the PSVR. Move controllers are optional, but improve the experience in some games. They can be found second hand or in the new dual packs designed for VR. First things first, though. For a fairly small headset, the box is absolutely massive. It’s actually designed really well, with a little piece of material that opens the triangular lid half way and reveals the neatly packed wealth of small boxes that could easily go to form a real life game of Sony’s VR title Tumble. The reason for all these boxes? Wires, tons of them. The box contains the headset itself, a breakout box, a full power supply in 2 pieces, a USB lead, 3 HDMI leads (1 to the Playstation and 2 for each eye of the VR headset). There’s a lead that then comes out of the headset and into the smaller box that takes the 2 HDMI cables and transfers the signal to the eyes. This contains an in-line remote to turn the headset on and off and also allows you to plug in headphones (a set of matching earphones is included, though I can never get in-ear earphones to stay in my ears, but that might just be me. The headset feels very comfortable in use, thanks in part to the high quality materials used. The headband is stretchable to fit any size head and is easy to adjust, while the actual lenses move in and out to fit your face, even if you wear glasses. Once connected, turning the headset on immediately takes you to the PS4’s menu inside the headset, with a picture on the TV mimicking what you see but in 2D. This is great for others who may be watching you make a fool of yourself while wearing the headset or for sharing your PSVR experiences. psvr-trying-on and this is how you look with the PSVR on. Very fetching. The actual experience differs based on the game or application you’re playing. Many games require just the Dualshock to control but have the option of using 2 Move controllers. These might be throwbacks to the previous generation, but they still work fairly well. There were a few instances, though, when the camera refused to pick them up as they were outside of the space, but most games will take advantage of the space and will compensate for this. The camera itself is used for face tracking. It’s possible to look 360 degrees around and see things behind you, the headset can cope with this, but tracking movement of things like the move controllers or targets won’t work. This is similar to the situation with Oculus Rift which is actually getting more cameras to support the forthcoming touch controllers, so this may be an option for Sony in the future. For now, though,it just requires games to realise the limitations and work around them. Thankfully, as Rift is similar, many titles have been ported over easily enough and will continue to share the larger catalogue of games as developers get a grip on the new tech. Sony have managed to get full HD (1920×1080) for the headset via screens that show 960×1080 per eye and up to 120Hz refresh. The Vive and Rift are both 90Hz as well, though they both have better resolutions of 2160×1200 overall. In practice, there is a little difference in picture quality, but in most games this isn’t really noticable when you’re in the thick of things. Motion Sickness is another big issue for VR. Gear VR, Rift and Vive owners have experienced some sort of VR Sickness in games that require fast paced movement without a centre point to keep them focused. It’s the same for PSVR. The 90Hz to 120Hz (depending on game) refresh rate does help to keep this to a minimum, as it does on Vive and Rift, but some games will affect people more than others. I found RIGS in particular to be a bit of a stomach churning experience, whereas games like Thumper and Battlezone were fine. Overall, though, it’s a hefty investment, though nowhere near that of its PC rivals and although there are plenty of launch games to keep you busy, if you’re worried about the outlay then it may well be worth waiting to see what else developers can do with the format. For those that can afford it, the Playstation VR hardware is impressive for the price point as an accessible console Virtual Reality solution that can run happily on a standard PS4.
Review: Great immersive experience we love it! - I pre ordered my PSVR. I love new technology. It arrived Friday evening the day after release which was a bit disappointing from desertcart who usually deliver on release day. They had emailed a few weeks in advance so it was not a surprise. It took about 10 minutes to set up following the simple instructions. Lots of cables as everyone has said but you can leave the ties on most of them and you just move the TVs hdmi so pretty easy. Mine is all in a cupboard as the wife doesn't like the mess so all tidy. I have to keep the cupboard doors open when playing due to the heat but that was always the case with the PS3 and PS4. To give my review context I love gaming, I have three boys (11 and twins 8) and a daughter 4. We play a lot of games, mainly board and card games, together but my daughter can't really play. I started with VR worlds. As I am sore most did with this title first was the shark dive. This really shows what this thing can do, even the wife had a go and was impressed and that's saying something! The London Heist is amazing too, sitting in the old east end pub picking up and lighting a cigar, you can actually smoke it by sucking as the mic picks up the sucking noise! The game is mainly visual again showing off what the device can do. I banged my head because you can lean over and look over things, it's really cool. The game parts are shooting and these are fun though brief. Watch out for kids with this one though because the hard man character shouts the F word pretty much non stop throughout! The other game we enjoyed on there was the danger ball. It's a simple bat and ball type game like the old Atari thing you played with paddles, only you play it with your head. The 3D view makes this awesome. The free playroom app is a lot of fun and this let me and the four kids all play together as a few games are 2-5 player. One in the VR headset, the others either shouting out instructions or playing with controllers. They say the headset is for over 12s but my kids were fine with it. I kept it to short bursts of play, the PlayRoom game (free) helped here. Sunday morning 05:30 my daughter came in to wake me up to ask if she can be the cat again! So lovely that she can play a game with us that she can understand and be properly involved. This was one of the best two mini games where the VR person is a cat and the rest are mice collecting cheese. Lots of fun, basically the cat has to stick their head out of the curtains and catch the mice moving. The mice have to dash about collecting cheese but freeze when the cat sticks their head out. They hide under a can or milk carton. Lots of fun. There are fun visual rewards for the winner. The monster one is fun too but make sure the monster has plenty of space as they are dodging all over to get out of the way of the many things the other players throw at them. I have move controllers from my old PS3 but have not used them yet so can't comment on their use. I can't wait for some sort of tennis game in this. A final word about the graphics, they are not as good as a normal PS4 game but who would expect that, plenty good enough. We all think the experience in the headset is way better than what you see on the screen. No screenshot or video could ever do it justice so try it, lots of shops are doing demos now. I think you will be blown away. My kids and I really love this, it's expensive but what fun! Right my turn to be the cat!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will I need eye balls?**
A: No they connect straight to your neural network but you will need a quantum implant.

**Q: Will I need a ps4 console**
A: Ok, I'll bite.  It depends.  If you like the idea of sitting/standing in front of your television (also optional), with a pair of expensive but useless goggles wrapped around your head, then you won't be needing one.  Be careful of the wires though.. perhaps tuck them into your trousers or wrap them around a family members torso... they CAN be dangerous.  Seriously, now.. you'll need a living quarters, some electricity, a ps4 console, a compatible ps4 game, a ps4 controller and a ps4 camera.  Oh and a TV, some snacks (optional) and a pipe cleaner that can fit into one earhole and out the other.  This is a late response.  If you managed to grab one of these devices and didn't get yourself a ps4, would you be kind enough to post a few pictures (as another person suggested) of your experiences so far.  If it beats having a console, then I'll be trading mine for a headset myself.  Thanks!

**Q: Can you wear glasses when wearing**
A: IT works perfectly fine with glasses, i tested it. Also the field of vision is adjustable, so me as a short sighted person can actually use the device without glasses when you adjust it, as theoretically, thie screen is barely an inch from your face, even though you psychologically wont realise it :)its a great feeling.

**Q: Will you be able to play gta v?**
A: All games can be played on ps vr. Think of it as a second, very large TV screen. Not every game will support actual vr functions.
