So I received my PS Moves this week and yesterday tried them out for the first time.
And boy, I'm kinda happy that I did not get them earlier, because it is possible that my first experience would be a lot worse.
I was afraid of lack of space and setup issues before I got my headset the most, but playing seated and with dual shock it's been practically perfect for me. I could put my camera almost anywhere and head tracking was great, it was not losing my position and I could just put camera in a drawer and headset back in the box when I finished and everything was not too bad. Connecting it back was just putting those two things back and I was ready to go. Playing Astro Bot is wonderful and amazing, Gran Turismo Sport apart from not too great resolution was a lot of fun and Wipeout was amazing as well (though it gave me a bit of motion sickness as the only title so far).
So I thought that I should not have been afraid and the tech is actually amazing and almost non-problematic. I decided to buy Moves, because it should just add to the experience, right? And they made everything 100 times more cumbersome and frustrating :( Now, apart from just Dualshock I need 2 more controllers to keep track of where I put them (I still need DS4 to navigate PS4 menus because I can't do it with Move right?). This on its own would be fine though.
The largest problems started when I realised that I indeed don't probably have enough space to play. Setting up camera so that the game is happy to see me standing both in the circle and having headset in the correct rectangle (Batman) was impossible for me. I tried playing sitting, because it was the only way I could even start the game, but then camera does not see my hands if I put them down and loses tracking. When I was able to find a game that allowed me to at least try playing (Job Simulator) I was just bumping into things with my moves and turning around made me tangled in the cable so the experience was not great because of this. I don't have too many options with the camera or moving my furnitures around. I am thinking of buying a table tripod and trying to put it on a table or some cupboards to at least have some additional options. I am not sure how much it will help though as the camera cable is really short and thick and does not allow for too much manoeuvrability.
On a positive side, I was able to play Rush of Blood and because it is seated and not much movement is required, it was really fun. I'm just a bit bummed that I might be limited to only some of the VR games (though I was really looking forward to Beat Saber and Superhot but I don't think that it is happening right now). Which is probably still worth it, but I just need to live with it.
Sorry for being a bit negative, but I was really surprised how well it worked with DS4 and I was not expecting such a downgrade in experience by just adding controllers that were supposed to make it more fun.
