That stack limit increase is insane and will get rid of so much tediousness. Can't wait to get home and see some walking NPCs.
Also, i don`t think it is Pro enhanced yet?
Maybe we´ll get further improvements or a dedicated Pro-patch later down the line.
Also, PSVR discussions tend to derail into one of these two directions:
1. This short rather restricted experience is shit, i want larger, "real" AAA games
Alternative: This is a really good game "for PSVR Standarts"
2. This large, "real" AAA game looks like shit.
Don't know if I want to completely start over or continue playing my current save. Haven't played the game since last year.
Played a bit over half hour on a new survival save with moves.
Got my ship flying.
Controls are excellent.
Graphics compromised but serviceable. The UI being super sharp certainly takes the sting out of the bad graphics.

Nope still nothing on public branch :(

A shame PSVR looks bad, glad it plays well though. Hope it looks decent on my Rift/980Ti...
Some games just don't look good in VR, unfortunately.

Gutted to hear the bad news on the visuals. Might try get a cheap rift and play on PC instead I think.
All I can say is don't get a Rift for this. After playing Elite on my Vive for dozens of hours, I then went to Rift and I couldn't stand it, anything bright on a dark background created huge concentric circles that were really annoying.
OK some quick impressions from starting afresh..
- Speeding through the starting missions.
- The Scanner is now very effective at scanning moving creatures, though I've not found any butterflies yet, scuttling crab spiders and birds have been very easy to scan so far. [edit] and can be easily scanned as they pass behind stuff too.
- The Geodes (and similar) which drop while mining are a nice "Surprise mechanic" :P.
- Stack size increase is the Cats Pyjamas.
- The New Research tree is the Wasps nipples.
- The New Discovery page is The Bees Knees.
- The new Cockpit is The Dogs Bollocks
imo its worth it for the controllers. they are such a large step up from the Vive wands. The knuckles are even better though but that aint cheap.
As I have a half decent gaming laptop, you think it might be an idea to get PSVR running through my laptop using Trinus or whatever it's called? All I need to do is get it running at a higher res I guess!

Pyjama, nipples, knees, bollocks. Well I'm sold.
I mean it's a bit annoying, but hardly unplayable. Plus as another person already mentioned the controllers are much better.
Also, unlike Elite, much of NMS takes place in light areas with no dark/light contrast.
Good point, as I played Elite with a hotas it wasn't something I considered. Still, out of all of my gripes with VR, those circles are up there.
No idea, never used a PSVR
For me, it was too much. Totally ruined my experience, but that's just me.
Hadn't considered this, NMS is far brighter I guess. It's been a while since I played it.
What's your lowest bar for VR? I don't think it's nearly as bad as some are portraying it to be. If you're able to tolerate things like Skyrim, Doom, etc, on VR, then this is honestly not bad. PSVR will always be held back by the PS4, base or not, because it's old hardware, but it's 100% still playable and awe in inspiring at times.
My biggest complains aren't resolution based, but instead pop in (most noticeably with shadows) bizarre graphical errors (like when I played my left hand didn't render). The only time I felt the resolution was holding back my experience was the HUD in the cockpit.
Played for over an hour on PS4 Pro VR, and it's pretty incredible. The Move controllers, while making their limitations apparent, surprisingly work great. The visuals look fine, not great but about what I expected. Being able to fly you ship around in VR is probabaly something that will never stop being cool, and being able to lift open the cockpit with you hands is a really nice touch.
Yeah, that's banding. It's an issue with the black & color levels and some people manage to fix that in the rift based on the RGB options set to full rather than limited. I tried switching from HDMI to display port, hardware forcing full color, couldn't fix it. It's ass I agree.
I'll be jumping into NMS with the Rift though so I hope I'm not in for a bad time.
Jumping into this with some friends for the first time this weekend. How does base building work between friends? Is there a host and only their world represented or do somehow both our bases appear in the same world and we can visit each other? Is there any shared progress when I join someones game, or am I just joining their instance?
I couldn't stand Skyrim for PSVR, but astrobot and other games such as Rush of Blood were fine for me. But as Skyrim being the only open world game i've played in VR it was too comprimised for me.
I've got NMS both on PC and on my PS4 Pro so i'm just weighing up my options whether to just try and get my PSVR half working on my PC instead as it should be better quality, or buy a Rift or something similar.
Banding is it? I just called it "those fucking shitty circles" lol
As someone else said, NMS is brighter, so I hope you have a good time
Well hello there. As of Next the X version would hit a higher peak dynamic resolution (up to native 4k on X while it's 1800p on Pro) but had worse framerates in both performance and quality modes.
I'm sure this is all up in the air with the performance optimizations in Beyond.
its not a mode, but something that can be set up using the new electric and logic systems
So played it now for over an hour in VR.
It looks like garbage, absolute garbage. It's so blurry and low res it's not really fun to look at anything.
This gives me flashbacks to my childhood PC days where I had a bad PC but tried everything to lower the graphics and resolution to make newer games somehow playable no matter what.
That's just not fun.
Even if the mode is really well implemented, PC player will have an absolute blast. The implementation is good and well done, besides a few little things.
First of all, free running and locomotion is possible with move. You run with LT and can turn with O and X on the right Move.
Only not really thought through thing, jumping is also on the right Move triangle, so turning and jumping at the same time is a bit shitty. Should have moved turning to the left Move, that would fix it.
But the rest is pretty decent. Menus, moves like using the menus and the scanner and putting your weapon away feels great.
Flying is a bit fiddly.
But in the end, not really worth it to play in that technical state. It's a cool little experience but playing the whole game in it and missing out on beautiful graphics and an easier navigation through the whole game is not a good trade-off.
Does anyone know how much difference there is between PS4 Pro and Xbox One X?
Continuing the same save just without VR would be an option, but I theoretically have the X version ready here to jump back to because if there is much difference, why staying on PS4?

I mean, if you've already got the game on both platforms...just try it on your PS4 first? Seems like a much easier thing to do, compared to the potential hours you'll spend getting your PSVR working on your laptop. You've got nothing to lose by trying it out the easiest way first.
That said, it's not as sharp as Astro Bot, but it's also not as bad as Skyrim. Maybe somewhere in the middle.
Sodding_Gamer very likely going to reconnect my PSVR to my PC to play the PC version sith my friend who only has it on Steam.
The newer version of Move controllers also work with the tools you setup for PSVR on PC.

Pardon my ignorance, but as someone who knows little about these VR sets, what's wrong with that post?
Fair enough I'm just being impatient as i'm stuck at work for a while haha! I'll give it a go and then try PC afterwards then :)
I get what you're saying though. But unless you're upgrade crazy, there isn't much of a need to upgrade from a Rift S to an Index, unless you want minor improvements (and based on impressions, the Index controllers, while cool, are actually not as good as Touch).
