Hah, well you can do that now friend... Either put a big TV in your bedroom, or buy a Vita, Nvidia shield, laptop, or any of the other kajillion devices that will let you remote-play Ps4 games from the comfort of your bed.

You too can Praise the Sun from under the covers!

That’s a great point, but there’s no way they’ll get a new title. It means we’ll be seeing some new edition of DS3 or Bloodborne, at best.

That said, I cannot imagine trying to play a Souls game in 5-10 minute bursts while having to contend with the outside world in any capacity....

True enough. I don’t think N has tried to compete with anyone in decades, and this looks like the same type of move. Again, I have multiple devices already that can do exactly this, but I can’t play a new Zelda game on them... so, take my money.


Hah, no knock on Nintendo, as I want one of these.. but they have’t exactly “figured anything out” here. Said it above, but this is an Nvidia Shield with Nintendo games on it.

Apart from having a dedicated dock rather than just an HDMI cord, it’s basically the same exact thing. But hey, I freaking love my Shield, so

It’s really closer to an NVidia Shield (in both design and specs from what I’ve read)... Shield basically has the same functionality as Switch, but it can also play the entire Android game library and function as an open-ended tablet that can run emulators and homebrew stuff...

The only really special thing about this

Except, didn’t we kind of learn from the Vita that people don’t want to play console titles on the go?

I’m not crapping on this thing, I’ll buy one just for first party games, but speaking as someone who loves the Vita, I virtually never play the “console titles” on it. I can’t see this being much different... Playing

I’m not attempting to change your mind on Snyder, or argue any problems the movie may have in your mind... I’m just trying to get you to understand that just because this is how you personally interpreted the scene’s meaning, it’s not necessarily what it meant. (Which granted, could certainly be considered a flaw in

Please. Enough with this, internet.

I’ll admit, I really like Snyder’s work, but I’d like to think I’m pretty objective in general, and this whole Martha thing just seems like such an absurd misunderstanding to me...

I’ll grant that this is just my personal take on it, but I did not for one second get from that scene

It’s hands-down my favorite experience of anything I’ve played in VR yet, on any platform, ever. It’s short (like, less than an hour if you plowed through it), but the Riddler challenges extend it quite a bit.

It’s in the top couple, if not the single most immersive experience available on PsVR, and not nearly as

Good point. I was forgetting 90% of that game was all preexisting assets...

Hah, but yeah man, leaning over railings is a trip in that game. This was not my first VR experience by a long shot, but it was the first one that actually gave me a feeling of vertigo or fear. Hell, just that elevator sequence when you’re

Well, that’s kind of a different argument; now you’re talking about why VR development is not important enough to major game developers/publishers for them to concern themselves with adding support for it to their existing games, and for that you just have to think numbers/logistics...

Couldn’t agree more. I sincerely doubt we’ll see a follow-up, and we definitely won’t see a full-scale Arkham game (as the dev costs would be prohibitive for how small the VR user-base is), but man alive would I love to have that. So many missed opportunities...

The fact that they implemented the whole batarang system

Because we’re still in the infancy of commercial gaming in VR?

Yes, VR has existed for decades, and there’s been games, but this is the first time there’s been a concerted effort by major developers/publishers to crack into it, and frankly, they haven’t really figured out what works yet.

You can’t just shoe-horn

Hahah, yeah, DOA seems interesting enough...

The Tomb Raider VR mode doesn’t look great to me, but I’m really looking forward to the Star Wars Battlefront one; that could be very cool.

It might be possible with a string of adapters/converters, but not natively. I know DC could output over VGA, but PsVR only accepts HDMI. You could always hook it to a PC and run a DC emulator though... Anything with an HDMI cable can be hooked to and played in cinema mode on PsVR.

That said, it’s really not that

Yeah, I didn’t mind the cost of the hardware at all, but the games are kinda killing me...

Batman is an amazing experience, but $20 for a largely un-replayable 45 minutes of game-play feels a little rough, and some of the other titles, good God... I’m mostly alright having spent $30 for Job Simulator because it’s so

Agreed. I found Thumper way more immersive personally. It’s obviously a much sleeker/simpler world, but the game-play is a lot more dynamic, and I actually get a feeling of motion (and even minor dread) sometimes from it.

Rez just kinda tires my neck out with very little payoff or sense of being there.

I’m with ya... I know this stuff is all insanely subjective, but out of everything I’ve bought/tried for PsVR so far, Rez is probably at the very bottom for me.

I love the aesthetic, and think it’s a beautifully designed game, but the game-play itself just felt tiring to me, without any real sense of accomplishment.

It’s amazing how subjective VR sickness is... Not even just on a basis of who is prone to it, but more on what causes it per person.

I’ve played a good 10 or so races of the DriveClub VR demo, and not felt even the slightest hint of sickness, but the 3rd-person platforming in PlayRoomVR literally took about 20 seconds

That’s not really true... It has always been a word in English (apparently based on the Latin word for seasick), it just used to mean something else.

Originally it meant something that caused nausea, but now it is also accepted as meaning feeling sick, by most dictionaries. Language continually evolves.
