Cannot affort PCVR neither do I have space.
Just standard. Like aiming with the right stick but looking around with the headset.
I cannot play Firewall for example, because the DualShock is practically moving the gun.

It's not going to be drastically different. It's more streamlined now with more things to aim for, but if you didn't like it before I doubt you're going to enjoy it much more now.
'I bought the steam version to stream - at the sale price it seems a good option and I've not played for ages on PS4 so would start a new save anyway
Definitely starting over new but I'm gonna keep my save to go back to at some point. Unless I find that I'm just completely sucked in with the new save, I'd like to have all my stuff back once I've had a chance to experience everything new... I think.
I disagree with what praxis said. The core loop is pretty different, resources interacting in different ways and with better min/max potential, pathways and cusomisation for ships and suit and weapon. There's a story which asks you to do things and gives you answers. There are side quests which are pretty fun including bounties and travelling between systems. The base building is surprisingly good.
The core loop has been hooked into a bunch of other loops to make a decent chain. The core mechanics aren't drastically different but third person and different overheat/ammo mechanisms improved it a lot.
They added more loops and fleshed out the ones that were there. Economies are functioning now. Not the dynamic resonator flipping of year 1.
I mean, do you like building and farming games? If you're not into minecraft or Elite then you may as well not bother.
I tried playing NMS a few times now and I never feel that I ever get anywhere despite spending several hours at it. Still using my crappy default mining laser which is a huge drag.
Current mission is trying to hire a Korvak scientist and the dude is in another star system. Turns out my shitbox of a ship doesn't have a warp drive and now I need to figure out how to grind my way to get one.
Also when I do complete a mission objective, the game instructs me to return to the mission giver to claim my reward. So I get there and the lifeform is nowhere to be seen and I'm unable to complete the mission - stuff like this is pretty discouraging.

65 hour game save here.
For me it's a combo of time away from the game and all the new early-game features.
I wanna take a spin with a clean slate to re-acclimate myself to the systems and also experience the updated tutorials and such.
Is the perspective still lower if you're playing as a Gek in VR?
I don't mind those games. One of the big issues I had with the game is that I though the game was actually really bad looking and all of the animals and environments looked like rehashes. I know the art style was improved but I'm not sure how significant it is
Hmm...I have no idea. I'll test it out for you tonight if no one else does!
Honestly it just might not be for you. The core loop wont change. You will keep needing various resources for various parts. When you find an incrementally better ship you will need to rebuild it all again and repair each slot one by one.
By design you will always be looking for something else to upgrade something or another.
I am conflicted on which version to buy with the knowledge that while XB1X version may have the edge in terms of resolution, come next gen, and presumably another update to update visuals for PSVR2, PS5 version will be the go to for folks opting for VR on consoles.
Seems like there are going to be multiple patches down the line to fix it.

And it's weird to think this is one of the reasons I love this game! I don't know why I find so much joy in this, but I do!
Two crashes in two minutes, I feel like I've done everything in this game already after 150+ hours or so too.
I have S-Class everything, tons of resources, seen most the planet variety, finished the story and I don't like building.
Kind of sucks I didn't wait for this update before burning myself out...oh well.

You won't need to wait until PSVR2 for updated visuals. The visuals can be vastly improved simply with the release of PS5 next year. The headset itself is fine for now.
Pop-ins aside, the visuals look great to me after what I've been hearing. Can't wait to get home.
Already dropped for PS4. Steam still unsure as to a specific time.
That doesnt look too bad actually. I do agree that the pop-in seems to be a bit more agressive in this update, I noticed it in the trailer as well.
Pop-in seems worse than ever on Pro. Entire bases appearing literally ten feet away. Before I think I used to be able to see them from some distance away when flying toward them, but now it looks like there's nothing there until I'm right next to it.
Anyone have any idea how long the opening tutorial is when playing in VR? Not sure if I want to start a new game or pick up from an older save.
The game did get a Pro patch. It runs at a higher resolution or you can set your system settings to 1080p and get faster frame rates.

Think he means no pro patch for VR. As there are reports they look identical. No way to be sure just yet though without direct comparison.
I kinda wish that they just dropped texture resolution and disabled shadows or something just to have more important things in VR given a bump like image quality and render distance. I'd much rather to see far away and have a clearer visuals than half decent textures and shadows.
Anyone have any tips on how long to follow the main quest for before venturing out and doing what ever you want?
I've built my hyperdrive and can now travel to different systems. I've not really done much besides the awakening quest and learning languages. Am I alright to just go for a wander?

Anyone playing on PSVR with a regular PS4?
Perhaps if you take screenshots of stuff we're can easily replicate, such as your spaceship interior, one of the shops in the space station, and spaceship exterior should on a planet...
... we can compare it to the same things but on a PS4 Pro?

There's several pics with sliders showing before & after versions of the same shot.
About 2/3 down under Starship Enhancements has a great cockpit overhaul as well as an nice outside shot of new ship textures.
Oh that makes more sense. I guess the only thing they can do is bump the resolution up a bit. The CPU gap isn't large enough to give any big jumps in things like the draw distance.
