A new Skyrim VR patch is coming very soon (likely Monday), with some nice improvements, including better graphics and new options for swimming/bow aiming controls!

Good timing for me getting the Skyrim bundle today.

Sounds like a great patch! What is wrong with the swimming though? Making real life strokes is pretty funny but it's easy to make it "break" so you only need to hold the walk button. Apart from having to keep your head above the water, it works fine? Best of both worlds for me.
Moana was the 3d bluray I bought to test this. (and the only one so far) I enjoyed it too.
Well, you could do that and add extra weight to the headset.
If you are using the V2 headset which has less wires, then you can just pull the crappy buds off, feed an auxiliary audio cable from the output and 'snake' it together with the video wire back towards the breakout box.
This is where I then connect this auxiliary cable to my headphone amp, from which I 'snake' back my headphone wires back to the headset. Kinda sounds messy, but with tidy cable management, doesn't really add too much to the existing cable clutter, and the amplified sound through quality headphones more than makes up for it.
I have a V1, but I could still make that work. It might even be better, because the V1 cable is already bulky and awful, so a couple of thin headphone wires would hardly make a difference.
It's a pain to setup and you have to reset the Moves every time you change from PS4 and PC and vice versa. The tracking is so so. It's pretty cheap to setup (you can get PS3 camera for like 5$ at gamestop and Trinus is not expensive. PSMoveService is free and can do the tracking for both the Move and 'roomscale' for the headset (with Trinus).
It'S a lot of thinkering to get it to work passably well. It's not worth it imo unless you have a lots of spare time. and are running out of game to play on PSVR,
Hyper Void can be played in VR mode and it's on sale too. It's an underrated old-school arcade shooter (like Gyruss or Beamrider) that is a ton of fun to play. I really enjoyed beating it.
Whatever you guys do, stay away from Pixel Gear. It's the worst VR purchase I've made so far.
My kids do like Pixel Gears actually. It's kinda a kiddish wave shooter. For adults, there are much better out there.
Why don't more devs put the model of the controller and buttons in-game? I have an AIM, two MOVE controllers, and the DS4, and because Sony's controller options are so disparate and awkward, I legitimately have no idea what to connect. You want to play with the MOVE controllers and you have to sync them and tilt the headset up so you can see the buttons (which are awkwardly placed). It's all so uncomfortable.
How does ERA start playing VR? Do you do all of the initial setup then start with the DS4? Do you try to navigate with MOVE (overly sensitive for menu navigation), do you use the AIM controller? I really hope that Sony considers designing a new controller, even for THIS generation of PSVR. Even if it's not a better controller with regards to sensitivity, I'd just be happy with something that integrates the DS4 and the MOVE controllers into one unit. What does ERA think?

+1. I have recommended it several times. A few different play modes, good use of 3D depth, difficult ramps pretty well, visuals are good.
Yeah it was great. I am a fan so I have a ton of steelbooks and lenticular editions for a lot of the films. I even got a 3 film set with monster house and cloudy with... Two decent non disney movies I here are really good in 3d.
I think I will add tht to doom. Anybody play rhombus? Getting thumper too fuck it vr deserves the support.

My memory is Subnautica's going to get a PSVR patch; it's currently playable in VR on PC, and apparently it's a pretty amazing experience.
If you want a submersible experience, Neptune Flux is an underwater game. You're in a vehicle, though, not scuba diving.
Great to see Skyrim VR get a new patch, especially one that improves graphics. Will have to jump back in and give it a try.
So I wanna know if anyone else experienced this...
I got my PSVR a couple of days ago and after some extensive play sessions, the real world kinda feels like I'm still wearing a VR headset. Like something is off with my vision. Has anyone else experienced this?
I'm wondering if this is the same effect you get after swimming where you feel like you're still in the ocean when lying in bed.
Anyway, it's a little disorienting and I hope I don't experience this after I get used to the headset.

I remember feeling a bit like that after just getting the headset when it was released, but that passed pretty quickly. I think VR is pretty confusing for your brain when you first start using it, but after a short while you get used to it.
Learn the Move button placements, that will make it easier. If my girlfriend isn't there to hand me the Moves, I normally strap them to your wrists before I put the headset on, use the DS4 for the menu and then put that to one side and grab the Moves.
I still wish Sony would make some Move's with Analog Sticks built in, that would be the ideal solution really, until we get a next gen PSVR, with proper VR controllers anyway.
Yeah I've had that. I find it similar to when you spend all day doing something and your body gets accustomed to it, then when you stop the thing you have bee doing has a bleed over effect. Motoracing, cycling, skating, climbing, are all things that have that effect when you first start out and doing them for excessive hours. Luckily like with those the VR bleed over effect is just when you are new to it.
Okay Re7 is legit creepy as fuck. Naysayers of VR are so ridiculous. Even at 1k per eye the pro doesn't have too many jaggies. Definitely jaggy but not crazy. I can only imagine this game at 4k per eye lol. Would be insane. 16k not sure I could distinguish this reality.
Can confirm hd600s n denon kick the shit out of headset audio just use virtual surround. Headphone dynamic range large surround options works well. Loud and scary. Headset audio is okay but lower. It doesn't distort but has no power. Still very good.
Nothing cooler than looking around the house. I lose my sense of direction in real life sooooooo immersive. Blacks on oled are yum. Great experience.
Game changer was going in the water. No spoiler coolest moment I have had in VR. This game just rocks in VR man. I could not live without VR after this. Very glad skyrim getting patch too.

It's pretty great. I didn't play it on a pro, and even though the graphics take a hit the immersion is more than worth it. My biggest problem is that it has significantly lessened other first person games for me. I loved the first Dishonored, and started playing the sequel after having played through RE7, but it just didn't work for me anymore. It felt like there was a filter between me and the game, and all I could think was that it would have been so much better if I had that feeling of being there that you get in RE7. I didn't even finish the game.
Dude. I understand. This game is underrated in VR. More people need to try this. I cannot get over yhe tracking and immersion. That first fight omg lol.
Found an awesome but short video of Twisted Metal creator/legend checking out the PSVR Demo Disc and sharing some thoughts, love this dude.

They all work well enough but I prefer the Aim controller, as it feels more natural aiming & shooting with motion controls in VR, while still having twin sticks to move.
So the Aim support with it is good?
I have $10 credit burning a hole in my pocket and do want another Aim game, but the initial impressions I read of VFR with Aim were mixed.
I've found it to be fine. A lot of people seem to complain about the grenade launcher being visible all the time (when you get it) and it is a little weird because it's like the character has a 3rd arm but if you can get past that, it works fine. I just put it down to the Doom VR character being a robot and not the Doom marine.
No problem and even if you don't like it with the Aim, at that price, it's still worth playing with the DS4 or Moves, it is still Doom after all :)
I'm now in mansion on madhouse. Sometimes redoing shit is a bit much. I be peeking around corners and shit in real time lol. Got a tiny bit sick after two hours. Re7 is so good in vr. Any tips people hve for madhouse?
It was newer. I'll see if I can find it again not sure why it's gone.
I picked it up last night because of the flash sale. I've found that the mobility with the DS4 configurations are pretty damn amazing. If you mix free movement in the options with the quick dash of the d-pad and the teleport glory kill, you'll find yourself zipping through enemies with the same ease of the flat experience. I was legit surprised by how much I enjoyed the feeling of the gameplay after hearing how it rubbed earlier reviewers the wrong way.
I'm unaware of any patches since the VR patch came out. I played through the entire thing in VR; I'm no fan of teleporting, but there is so much walking back and forth in the game that I eventually was glad that for the speedier movement. Seriously, you must walk about 50 miles in the game.
Even with its limitations, I still enjoyed the game tremendously. As always, VR does things with scale that no other format can, and there are some incredible areas and machines in the game.
No, never!
Although Skyrim VR to adjust controls is getting a patch today so not all hope is lost with regards to Bethesda games getting late support.

Aim is awesome in theory but they fucked it up with that stupid grenade launcher that always hangs into the screen from the left side (because it was made with dual-wield move-controllers in mind). Really distracted me. There is no option to turn it off :(
I ended up playing is with the dual-shock. Felt the most natural and fun for me. Move controllers felt shitty because of the movement.
Doom VFR with the aim is incredible for $15. Basically Doom 2016 in VR. The slow motion mechanic is great and has caused some cool moments. A good contrast to Farpoint, a more fast pace run and gun game. You also get some classic Doom levels too. For $40 I may have been mad though
I took some screenshots (PS4 Pro) before and after the Skyrim patch for comparison. Sorry they're slightly different, it's a bit difficult to recreate a scene and position exactly in VR! I enlarged the images to make it easier to notice the difference.
The first image for each comparison is pre-patch, second is after:

It's maybe a little hard to tell in screenshot form, but the resolution is definitely higher than before. In the first comparison, look at the aliasing on the prisoner's hands and arms in the before image, compared to after. In the third image, check out the increase in details that can be made out on the men and the table.

Thanks for the comparison images. Looks like a good general improvement in sharpness.
Looking forward to getting back into this game.
