I just tried London Heist on PSVR. I am thoroughly mindblown

Wow at the demo, the PS move works really well, and i was able to interactive with many things in the game.

While inside the car, i was able to grab and toss the drink can, turn the radio dial, the air condition switch etc. I even tried grabbing the car door handle and was able to open it. But i closed it almost as soon as i open it as i didn't want to try anything funny. When the action starts i grab the gun, open the glove compartment, and start playing.

Firing the gun and reloading is pretty easy. I gunned down several people on bikes and vehicles and i also tried firing at the wheels to put them down.

I'll put up some photos soon

I'm worried about the PSVR using the move controllers. It is my understanding that lithium batteries don't do well if they have completely drained. I'm pretty sure that everyone who has a move controller hasn't charged it in quite a while and has let them sit in the drained state. So my big worry is will the batteries still work after all this time? Has anybody tried using an old Move or PS3 controller after it has been sitting around for years?

No Man's sky just HAS to take advtange of PSVR. I understand it hasn't been officially announced but it just makes so much sense you know Sony is working on it.

There is no conceivable way NMS won't have support for PSVR with it's June release. It's a perfect launch game, Sony would be throwing money at Hello to get it for PSVR, which I'm sure they are.

It's probably not that easy. They'd have to redesign the interface, movement system, and HUD for VR. Even how you currently enter your ship would give you motion sickness in VR. They'd have to program some sort of teleportation system for that.

Just patching VR into a game hardly ever works well.

I have seen what 90fps will look like on the PSVR.

Starfox on the WiiU, but with higher res, better materials & lighting.

I think that's a fair bet.

Wayward Sky is one example, seems to be targeting 90fps now for PSVR:

I'm sure there'll be more. I guess there are some games that can't reach 120fps that locked down to 60fps, but that can reach 90fps now that it's an option.

Has anyone seen any more screen grabs of the Futuridium sequel by Mixedbag? They're working on a 120fps native title that looked great - relatively low poly models but really lovely lighting & materials.

Planet said:

Not only that, they are going to utilize Reprojection on top of 120 native frames! Not much budget for rendering, though, but it didn't need that on non-VR release anyway.

Should be worth a look for the smoothness of head movements alone. Will probably still not like the game itself though.

Huh, so does that mean it moves at potentially 240fps?

Here we are, with a couple of new screenshots from the sequel (project title Futuridium VR, but it could change in the future).
Please keep in mind that this is super work in progress and the screenshots are at 1080p grabbed from the PC editor: what you see in PSVR looks different, better and smoother.

The sequel is a totally different game than the original Futuridium (120fps + repro PSVR edition still coming at launch!).
We're currently targeting 90fps + repro for the sequel, there's a lot of stuff going on and a ton of effects, so going full 120fps + repro like the original Futuridium could be hard.
But who knows, we're learning a lot of tricks and tools and our code is constantly improving.

Yep, think Star Fox + After Burner with VR focused gameplay.

Keep in mind that the screenshots are very early, we'll share more early next year.

Virtual reality amplifies this by adding another dimension. You can now race through these chaotic tracks from the seat of the driver. PlayStation VR gives you an amazing sense of scale as you’re able to look into turns or glance over at other players in multiplayer. Once we started prototyping VR gameplay in Distance it was undeniable that getting a true feel for the jumps, flips, and flying is exhilarating.

From a story-telling aspect, VR is thrilling since we can explore the game from the perspective of the driver, and who (or what) that is. We’ve redesigned our UI to work with a cockpit dash, and we added an “upside-down” moonroof to help when landing. Getting sliced by a laser is also (not surprisingly) even more exciting.

Eclipse is a first-person exploration game set on a sentient planet with a dark past. At its core is a mysterious story of a world filled with discovery and wonder. You awake after crash-landing to find yourself in a dreamscape environment, littered with the remnants of a failed civilization.

Designed for VR, you play the game from inside a space suit that is equipped with advanced technologies. It allows you to survive the planet’s harsh landscapes and discover its past.

Early in the adventure you find a supernatural relic, the Artifact. A fusion of biology and technology, this device allows you to control elements of the natural world and interact with the ancient technology.

In the tech demo, the game has players inhabiting the bodies of eagles, flying through about a massive city. The player’s head is used to control the direction of the bird while a controller is used for speeding up and slowing down. The early version we saw featured surprisingly compelling capture the flag gameplay where players would snatch the flag and try to race to capture it before being intercepted by another player. Players can fly down into the streets of the city, under bridges, and through gaps in an effort to lose their opponents in some rather exhilarating chases.

Two interesting reddit posts from user yantraVR who is member of dev team Innervison Games who made early Oculus game Ethereon [adventure game]:


yantraVR: "PSVR is extremely close to being on par with Vive and the Rift w/ a gtx970 based on the tests I've done. The team from Epic (Nick & Tom) have also stated the same in at least one of their VR Twitch streams. If your app runs at 90Hz on a PC with a gtx970 then you should be very close to 60 on the ps4. And with the 120Hz reprojection applied it's glassy smooth."

penprog: "Do you know how they do it? They have to sacrifice something."

yantraVR: "Yes, I do! In brief, the PSVR only requires about 1/4th of the render target size that the Vive requires. This has a lot to do with the display they are using that can run a 60Hz game at 120Hz (in addition to the 90Hz mode). So comparing the PSVR at 60Hz>120Hz to the Vive at 90Hz:

Vive = 457 million pixels/sec (1512x1680x2x90)
PSVR = ~100 million (1920x1080x60 - ~20%*)

*The ~20% is accounting for some additional (classified) techniques that further reduce the render target size.

There are other things to consider as well, if you want to go further. For example, the PS4 has hardly any driver overhead compared to Windows so it's a fully dedicated gaming system that can focus purely on performance. For example, the draw calls on the PS4 are faster than with dx11 which is something that a lot of people don't realize.

They have also started beefing up their small conversion box unit with processing power to help do some heavy lifting."

Here is one of talks from Epic games about porting Showdown VR demo to Morpheus [there was another one where they talked more in-depth about it]:
http://www.twitch.tv/unrealengine/v/7616153?t=21m52s


Also, Vive does not have 1512x1680-per-eye screens, but it seems that it requrires devs to hit that render target.

Brad from Giant Bomb has talked on the last Bombcast about his playtrough of 2 demos of Golem.

Most important notes:
- He was blown away by the visuals PS4 is rendering [game is UE4 PSVR exclusive]
- He was happy that entire game is played from sitting position, same position as disabled kid that is controlling the golems [which can be from doll sized to large giants].
- This was the first VR game where he experienced great FPS controls that were non-teleport based. User simply nods his head forwards and backwards to walk [or slightly shift entire upped body forwards/back], and tilts head to strafe! He sad that after few moments of practice, he managed to circle strafe around a object without an issue.

I just hope they stick the landing and manage to announce this at a decent price point that won't immediately relegate PSVR to "enthusiasts only." If VR is going to gain traction, it needs mainstream acceptance and affordability is a key factor in that.
