It's like that too, as help, but it's pretty gently.
But I couldn't get a backwards walk to work like in Skyrim when you hold the left one behind you.
Nope, VR. Much better with DS4 for me. Is it hard for you to accept that?
That poster has it wrong (sort of). You hold the move button to move foward (not the trigger). You can move your head left and right to get a little motion either way, but major turning is done via the X and O buttons on the right move controller. You can either have teleportation movement or smooth, and turning can either be snap or smooth.
Just tried for like 5 min on the base PS4 in VR.
It looks bad. It's very blurry and, at first impression, it almost looked like a painted background. Maybe because of LOD, not sure. It looks super fake.
I mean, its understandable because the PS4 is a weak system for VR but it's not there as an experience. I'm going to try the update on the Xbox X.

Oh they are there. Watching someone stream it.
Its fine, game is a bit on fire right now with crashes and VR issues. I might just wait.Meanwhile at fucking work.
i started from scratch and while it only takes you like 15-20 minutes until you are in space, they made everything else worse. if you follow the story (to get the first hyperdrive) the game bombards you with shitty base-buidling tutorials (build a computer, now make some walls, now a roof, now build a reasearch station, build some more walls, now craft a teleporter, then on to a powergrid for your base....). dude, i just want a freaking hyperdrive and explore. i dont care about basebuilding.
still, the improvements are massive, the game also runs/looks much better than before (ps4 pro, 1080p mode).

Are the crashes happening on new saves or old saves? Or both?
if freaking steam just actually started the download instead of scheduling it to start 4 hours later I'd be playing right now. Glad I checked on it.

I never tried it in the experimental branch, but it *looks* correct to me and similar to other PC HDR games I own. I'm using an Asus PG27UQ monitor .
Now that I got the visuals set, I'll be diving in with a new save when I get back home. Still going to keep my old save though .
Going into in the Nexus with online enabled almost guarantees the framerate goes to 0 and crashes.
Tried a bit earlier but the servers are getting so hammered that trying to interact with NPCs in the Nexus results in nothing. The framerate in the Nexus on PS4 Pro is also straight terrible.
I'll give it some time for the servers to smooth out and try again tonight.

I literally can't even start the game and I'm not the only one. Sent them my crash files.
First creatures I see on my new save slot shocked they friendly as crabs on my games usually predators
I wanted to try out the game on PSvr and payed 3 hours straight.
I'm amazed.
The graphics are obviously blurry and the pop in is bad (allround i would say a biiiiit better than skyrim pre-patch) but the immersion and sense of scale is phenomenal.
I'm sure a pro patch and allround optimization can get quite a bit more out of the game.
Controls are better than expected, starship is a bit wonky at first but I got used to it rather quickly. HOTAS support would be cool though.

This is why I haven't started again since vanilla. Game is too bloated in tutorial quests (understandable, because it can get pretty complex, but not fun to do it twice).
You have to start the game with the VR headset activated, you can't switch around.
... Besides the website claiming you could.
Tell me lies Todd uh I mean Sean.
That quote has "continue from an existing save" right in it. It refers to the VR and pancake versions sharing the same save file.
It's not Sean lying.
Yeah. My monitor is rated at hdr1000 , so that's what I picked
I haven't played in a loooong time (maybe since the first update?) so it's tempting to start over, but I worked hard doing the ship swap grind to get my current ship, and my mining tool is one of those weird semi-organic ones, so there's no freaking way I'm gonna lose them. Plus I only need like one or two more of those orb things to finish the story mode and I do nooooot want to start that over.
Just... just 6 more hours until I can go home and clean off my PSVR set.... only 6 more hours... hnnngggg

So I just playing for basically the first time, and I'm curious about something. The game keeps telling me to install things into my multitool, but I only have 2 slots and it takes 1000 credits to repair the other slots so do I just keep destroying and rebuilding the different tools each time I need to use them? How can I make credits when there's no traders around?
I haven't played Driveclub VR. I bought Skyrim VR yesterday and NMS is definitely a lot uglier than that on Pro.
This is playable in PSVR but it would be nice to see at least little resolution boost in Pro.

The HDR was always pretty good, beyond a slightly weird setup. I'll have a look at it and see if it's changed.
Those beta settings don't do anything to any games yet as far as I can see (despite people claiming otherwise), I'm working on a video about it at the moment.
Interesting if you are seeing a difference in NMS
hm that makes total sense. looks like mine was made before this rating system existed so. time to wing it.
Being inside your spaceship for the first time is mind-blowing
The PC VR implementation seems fantastic but performance is weird on my very powerful machine. Kind of like it's struggling to get the frames up in VR time, so everything is wobbly around the edges.
Think my hard drive is playing up, so could be that. Might reinstall to SSD.

I tried it and unsure because I'm suspecting it might be when you get off your first planet. Since doing so I've found the visuals to still be middling and bad at distance, but there's a much wider range that's in focus now. Lamptramp do you think yours was much better just because it was snow?
Either way, having a very good time in VR.
PS4 Base/Pro VR Comparisons
OK MultiMoo (since you mentioned some comparison pics) and anyone else who may be bothered, Since I have both Base and Pro PS4's I thought I would do a little comparison.
I thought I'd do a quick run round a freighter where my save was after I started again post update, for no reason other than that's where I was. It's the same save I copied via the cloud so everything should be the same, also I have the pro set to 1080p to force NMS into a "performance" profile.
some quick notes.
The screenshots are a bit off on different angles so its probably not the best for comparison, and truth be told it was a "do a couple while I'm here, I figured video footage may be better.
PS4 Pro "Performance" mode.

Phew, that took longer than I thought it would.

- I think maybe I should have taken more screenshots of closer things, the ship and its interior look rather good close up, things definitely get muddier the further away you go.
- This world looked a lot better than the one I first spawned at which was all red and browns and murky.
- I didn't really replicate angles of shots or what I repeated very accurately
- it was a pain to wait for the night cycle to keep things in as similar light as I could get it :P
- I doubt I'll play it in VR extensively, not because its particularly "awful" but I don't really like to shut myself off from the rest of the world while I binge. I will use the VR to checkout my ships as and when I get them.

Which version and how'd you get that price? If I can find it for Xbox at that price, I might double dip.
Meanwhile at fucking work.
This is me, right now.
But also this. I read they're working on a patch, so hopefully they fix all that stuff fast (After a well earned rest)
Need copper to make a tool. But everytime I analyse the ground and find a copper deposit and then dig down with the terrain manipulator I can't find any? What am I doing wrong?
Not sure, I didnt really spend a lot of time with it on planet one, but the snowy one looked much better, better than the above would have you believe. Screenshots and video don't really do it justice (not that its "amazing" IRL or anything)
I had my MP set to friends only for the above media Belvedere I didn't think to try it otherwise, sorry.
You can just turn off the Multiplayer? I thought you had to take your PS4 offline to do that but is it in the options now?
God I think I might be coming down with something reading all these impressions, might not... make it through the rest of the work day...!
Copper should be visible on the surface. It's a golden shiny area and should be obtained as soon as you use the terrain manipulator on it. Does it appear that way for you?
I'm going to jump back into this game! I haven't played since launch week back in 2016. I LOVED it for that week, but fell off of it. HOWEVER! This update looks awesome, and I loved the basics behind the game and the worlds and the feel of it all.
Have they increased the variety of generated planets and animals/plants?
That's one thing I remember hoping they would update for sure.
Edit: For example I saw someone fly to a ringed planet earlier today, and I don't remember there being ringed planets back at launch.

As I said before in the thread
If you just played Skyrim yesterday you're playing a Pro patched version, so it may indeed look better than that. When a lot of people ask if it's looks better than Skyrim they're thinking in their mind the OG Skyrim VR which was released in 2016. It didn't get patched until last year so that's still what most remember as they never played it after the patch.
From everything we can tell this version has not been Pro patched, so there's a chance this patch will end up looking better than the Skyrim patch.
All that said I'm still at work and haven't jumped in for myself yet, I anticipate the experience to have less visual fidelity but more immersion - in other words, exactly what I expected.
I've played fir about half an hour today on PS4 and it has crashed on me twice. Might leave it a few days before I come back to it.
PCVR performance on a Rift S is pretty wonky so far. Lots of reprojection and the UI gets really jittery, not to mention it'll randomly kick back to the SteamVR loading portal for half a second. Really wish it had native Oculus SDK support, such a bummer in that regard.
Running a 1070, i7-7700k, and 16gb RAM if anyone was curious about how it might go on comparable specs. I'm going to keep tweaking and crossing my fingers for some further VR improvements, though I guess maybe it's just my PC in conjunction with having to use SteamVR through Oculus (my heart weeps) I might just be out of luck for now.

All good, I'm too busy admiring the bad planets lol.
Yep, it's in the options.
