Nah, I'm pretty sure what they're complaining about is commonly referred to as "god rays" which are an artifact of the fresnel lenses in high contrast scenes. It exists on the Vive as well but not as bad as the Rift.
Banding is OLED mura related and can also be an issue in dark scenes.
I haven't heard of either issue with the Rift S headset.
Only had a few minutes to mess around my PS4 Pro but the game looks amazing. Framerate got real bad in the new Anomaly before crashing though.
It's been a while since I've read so much disinformation in a single post. They don't even sell Rifts with sensors anymore, the S has inside out tracking (and it works brilliantly well), while also having a display that by several reviews isn't too far away from the Index, while costing less than a half.
Belvedere, we gotta stop meeting like this! ♥️
Thank you for the answer!
I'm going to just forever wish that the PS Move controllers had analog sticks on them. Neither method of control feels great to me. I love the Move feel, but not the feeling of movement with it. But then the standard PS4 controller feels great to move but clumsy and awkward to aim.
Yeah, that's it. I remember seeing it faintly on Vive, but nowhere near as severe as the original Rift.
It's way blurrier than Skyrim. It's like everything more than 2 feet away is Vaseline to the max.
Its a weird outdated fanboy post. The rift s has comparible optics and doesn't even use sensors. The vive wands are widely considered worse than the touch controllers, and "abandoning ship" is an odd way to phrase what is happening
Just played for a bit in VR. It's fun, but you have to accept that significant graphical cut backs were always going to be inevitable. No way around it given the aging OG hardware.
That said, my biggest gripe is with the controls. Hello did the best they could. But, fuck whoever at Sony decided that the Moves didn't need analogue sticks. That stupid decision crippled 3D locomotion for all their games. Teleport is shit and using buttons to turn is shit. Not a problem limited to NMS but so so annoying.

I'm a standard Rift user (with the sensors) which was the perspective I wrote the post from. For me there's 0 path forward without completely starting over. But yeah the Rift (and the Rift S) is a 1 and done purchase.
Gonna have to check later, but are there any sliders for turning speed and more importantly for me, flight stick controls while in VR? I felt like the steering was INCREDIBLY sensitive with the move controllers and I was all over the place. I also had to change my controls from inverted to normal, because apparently "normal" is inverted and "inverted" is normal? I kept pulling the stick back and my ship would go into a nose dive, haha. Finally got it figured out, but it's still incredibly sensitive for flight (for me).
Ultimately I think you'll probably have a better time on PC, but it just depends on how your PC holds up compared to your Pro, haha. Good luck!

From what little I've tried, one player is the host and their world is the one you join. If they have set permissions so that others can build together the rest of the teams work on the hosts base will stay there. You could put down a base computer and build your base nearby too with similar settings. In order to see others bases when they are not online they would need to "upload" the finished base from their base computer so that anyone coming across it could visit. You would not be able to modify it while the owner is offline though.
I'm not 100% sure but I think this is the main gist of it.
As for progress I've never tried missions co-op but materials gathered scans completed etc remain yours after you leave.
I would give the X version the edge TBH. Though I will say I haven't played the Pro version much since the Xbox version released, and I've played even less of it on my newer RDR2 pro which is much quieter all round. Also the X allows you to switch to "Performance mode" without having to set the video output to 1080 at a system level which the pro still seems to make you do. Though I would say that the X version is much quieter in terms on online interaction from my experience (not that I search it out in this game), something to bear in mind, I've switched back to PS4 pro for VR and the potential larger community (at least peak EU time).
[edit] thinking about it, would be hard to tell with the new improvements which is better. :/

Sounds great. I asked a question a while back that I'm still looking for an answer too, as I debate whether I'll officially switch to the Move controllers. I'm at work so I can't try, and I need someone proficient with the Moves to answer:
How difficult is it to perform the little thrust maneuver with the moves? That's the one where you press sprint, melee and rocket pack simultaneously and he does a shoulder thrust that let's you traverse ground and distances much faster. I can imagine this is a little clunky with the Moves but I hope I'm wrong?
What's wrong with starting over? These VR devices hold their value so damn well it's hardly an issue to sell your Rift and go from there. The Vive kit is a downgrade from the Rift and Rift S despite the price solely due to the controllers.
I haven't played Skyrim in VR but I wonder if the dynamic scaling might give Very different results for different planets, etc depending on how busy the area is.
Doesn't seem as bad as you're describing to me.
I was watching the IGN Nexus Tour and noticed something funny.
If you position your VR controllers juuuust right behind you, you can literally Naruto run in NMS now.

Second planet, which is where you need copper. And I did eventually find some by flying to a different part of it.
Most i think also played on a nice PC kit so that probably helped a ton.
That's because it's not as bad as the poster is describing, lol. There's a tinge of hyperbole in those words. It is unquestionably not as bad as Skyrim. It's not worlds better, but it's absolutely not as bad.
The game looks worse in VR, most games do, but it's not unbearably worse.
I'm just not keen on not being able to simply change my headset or controllers. The incompatibility of the Rift sensors -> Index is a real bummer. But that's an issue solely for the original Rift. I honestly forgot the Rift S was a thing. I'm not advertising the Vive here at all lol. I'd tell people to go with the Index since you can scale it better depending on the quality of your rig, that and the best controller in VR...the knuckles are pretty amazing. The Rift Touch controllers are great though.
Greg Miller said the game was highly downgraded on PSVR when he played earlier this year.
I hadn't been keeping up to date on the newer VR headsets, but seeing the Rift S makes me really want to get rid of my Rift for it. :(
No there is no hyperbole, the resolution is so low, it's definitely worse than Skyrim, it's really really low res and one of the worst looking PSVR games I played so far and I've played hundreds. Looking down from a hill to anything is like looking through milk glass.
The scale is great tho but graphically, it's as low as you can go on PSVR. Name me something worse, I'll wait.
Downgraded from the non-VR version which is to be expected. As far as PSVR comparisons go in the few impressions I read there wasn't any comments one way or another.
Guess it won't be long and we'll have tons of hands-on and more detailed impressions.
I don't get the Innes bit in the patchnotes. Did he walk walk literal 1400 miles or 1400 miles in-game when translated from in-game units?
Going by the PSVR Subreddit, there is no difference, as the game has zero optimization for the PRO.
I´m hoping for a Pro Patch in the not-too-distant future.
The fuck is this about? Is all my shit gonna be fucked up when I get home? Do even the basic things (portals, saves, refinery, signal finder, etc.) need to be electrically powered now?
Worse than Drive Club? Man that sucks but expected. Waiting for PS5 version?? I am STACKED with games anyway
As someone who played every update so far to see how it's coming along what will I find new in this one? I remember one big update added an additional story path that was kinda interesting and NEXT added some ground vehicles, third person and mp.
What features are the real standouts this time? A lot of the smaller stuff I dont really tend to notice. Even the element table redesign I didn't realise was new until a week or two in.

Ah, my apologies. I meant that the newer Moves finally work with the tools since earlier this year, as prior to that only the older PS Moves would stay connected.
Please, the OT looks great!!
Can't wait to dig into this when I get home
They are the right part of a full set, it wasn't needed at that time. Making them the default controller for VR was the chepeast way. Maybe this is the reason we have VR on PS4 after all, because a lot of things was already done.
What? Did you play Skyrim VR? The movement system worked fine in that with moves and the game was much worse with a DS4.
Also I'm almost scared to try it when I get home on a base PS4 in VR. I think Skyrim PSVR on a base console looks more than fine so I'm curious as to how this compares.
Yes as I said, it was highly possible.
Here are the major changes, followed by patch notes (which are MASSIVE)
Beyond Update - No Man's Sky
BEYOND: INTRODUCING UPDATE 2.0 Update 2.0, Beyond, massively expands the multiplayer experience introduced in NEXT, takes immersion to a whole new level with fully-fledged Virtual Reality, overhauls base building, NPCs, technology trees, and much, much more. Marking the three year anniversary of...

You can tame, ride, and milk creatures. You can make food. You can play in VR. There is a multiplayer social space called Nexus. Etc.
Portals need to be powered, yes. Though only to travel out, not in. The tool tips when creating the reactor advised that advanced reactors don't require fuel, or I suspect will be powered by solar power/batteries etc.
The tier 1 generator I just made was powered by Carbon/Oxygen etc.
