Just starting a thread for deals for the Playstation VR. 

I picked up the Core bundle off Amazon and I'm looking for a cheap camera and move controllers.

I found that best buy has some cheap playstation 4 cameras on sale for 39.99 with free shipping.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/sony-playstation-camera-for-playstation-4-black/8245153.p?skuId=8245153

If you all know any good deals for move controllers or launch games, let me know.

Until Dawn: Rush of Blood (PS VR) $15.99 via Amazon (Prime Price). https://www.amazon.c...heapassgam08-20

I'm left handed and have had no problems playing Doom VFR with the Aim controller. I play Farpiont on the default scheme too.

Ebay added a coupon for $10 off $30 worth of purchases to my account. The Borderlands 2 VR Aim support news got me interested in the game. With the ebay coupon I ended up getting a Borderlands 2 VR code and a 20% off PSN code for $21.

With the PSN discount code I picked up Word of Final Fantasy and it's Maxima upgrade from the weekly sale, Beat Saber, and a handful of dlc for the Persona dancing games. Pretty good. Ebay covered the price of the PSN discount code, and the code saved me close to $20.

 
And now I played Beat Saber. This game is super fun.

Twice on the third or fourth level of the campaign I failed to reach the required points to beat the level. The second time I didn't miss any notes. I remember the tutorial saying something about getting more points if you hit the notes with the proper angle, and figured that's where I'm dropping points.

At the time I was hitting the notes by mostly just flicking my wrists. In my third attempt I hit the notes using wider swings with my full arms doing the motion. Flicking my wrists I came up 10,000 points short. Using my arms I passed the goal by 40,000. If the game is designed in a way that gets you to move your arms that's very smart. I got even more into the game when I started playing that way.

No... I'm completely left handed. I'm just not a wuss. Lol! It's not hard to adapt with a videogame controller. After using the Wii Remote & nuchuck right to left for years I'm use to it now. It's was good practice.

Nah I'm normal. Just not a wuss like some. Keep crying while others adapt & enjoy games 😂

Also learn what abidextrous means. If I were abidextrous I'd be able to write, throw & shoot with my right hand...I can't soooo 😜

Yep! The full swings give you better scores. It can be a workout on Expert.

I'm thinking of getting some weighted gloves to play the game with. Not so much for the exercise, but because giving the move controllers some weight seems like it would be more immersive. A couple months ago I did the Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire - The Void experience. The weight of the VR gear you have to wear makes it seem like you are wearing Stormtrooper armor.

That Void experience is really cool. Kind of pricey; $30 for a 15 minute, maybe 20, VR experience. But the real you is playing in an environment that matches how the VR world looks. You actually walk to move around. You can touch walls. It gets warm when you are in heated areas. I had thought about looking for a behind-the-scenes video to see what the real-life set up looks like, but then I thought it's more fun to not look behind the curtain.

Didn’t see it posted previously but Borderlands 2 VR is $25 at Walmart physical card.

Looking at the third-party seller's name and phone number, that's the same seller I bought a Borderlands 2 VR code from on ebay. It was also $24.99 and free shipping. I ordered it Friday, and received the paper voucher today. I already redeemed the code and downloaded the game. I'll try it later tonight.

Just curious, and I am legitimately asking... how do people claim 'at walmart' when it isn't, it's a third party reseller.

For me, it is because it is on there website and assumably garenteed by the main store.

Also I decided not to buy it yet so only looked only so hard at this...
 
My first day with Borderlands 2 VR I wasn't that into it. The guns didn't feel impactful, and the crosshair moving from the recoil makes it seem like the controller has bad tracking. I think guns losing accuracy from recoil is better shown with reticle bloom.

On my second day, today, I started enjoying it more. I found better guns. Some are more accurate, so the crosshair isn't as much of an issue. And they do more damage, so I'm starting to feel more powerful.

I think part of the problem is none of the guns seem to be hitscan. I'm expecting to pull the trigger, and get the satisfaction of the enemy getting hit when I hear the gun go off. Maybe I have to realize Borderlands 2 is designed differently than games like Bioshock or Halo. But, in Overwatch I do have fun with some of the projectile guns, Mercy's and Mei's, so once I wrap my head around how the guns work I think I'll start to like them.

Also, the first day I left the walk speed on normal. It was too slow. Today I set it to fast, and it was much better. This is my first time playing a Borderlands game. It seems promising. I'm using an Aim controller.

Beat Saber track pack tracks leaked yesterday. 10 songs for $10. I'll be snagging that tomorrow.

A buck a song is pretty good. Going by Rock Band prices. I guess it helps these aren't mainstream songs, but I am liking the music in the base game. Though I think it would be awesome if the game got Devil Trigger. The colors even fit with Devil May Cry.

And after my third day with Borderlands 2 VR I'm really getting into it. I think I'll refrain from using the bullet time feature they added to this version. It seems like something that is meant to help offset the limited mobility of the Move controllers. With the Aim controller it feels overpowered.

I actually have the Game of the Year edition on the Xbox 360. I bought it on sale, then I bought the additional dlc that isn't in it as they went on sale. I just never got around to playing it. It might be interesting to boot it up to see what it's like on a TV.

 
I got Borderlands 2 VR at launch and has been the only game that has given me motion sickness so far. That being said the Aim controller support seems to have fixed that and I am enjoying the game. It’s far from perfect and I feel it was rushed to be released before the holidays. Here is to hoping they keep supporting and updating.

This must have been for the PC releases? It's 10 songs for $12.99 on PSN. And so much for hoping Beat Saber would go on sale for the first time on the day of their first music pack release! :bomb:

Damn the blog post that was pulled apparently said $10.

Due to it being $13, I think I'll wait just out of principle at this point. I'm not in much of a rush to play those songs, and I listened to the track list on youtube and to be honest I'm only a fan of like 1/2 the songs. But no chance I'm paying $2 for songs either.

 
I'm curious to read more of everyone's impressions of Borderlands 2 with the AIM controller here if you guys feel so compelled to as to leave them. I thoroughly enjoyed AZ Sunshine, Doom, and Farpoint, so I'll probably get the game regardless, but I'd still love to hear more.

I haven't played Pixel Ripped to completion, but I really enjoyed what I played. I found it pretty charming and enjoyable. I look forward to when I can spend some time playing through it for real rather than just trying it out.

I also tried out Special Delivery (the Paperboy game) and found it a little difficult to control, and because of that, had quite a few cheap deaths, but I believe there's something in the options that may help that.

If anyone cares, I captured the 10 Beat Saber DLC songs earlier on expert if you want to hear em and see the mappings. It was my first try playing most of them but only 1 of them gave me trouble. I had to play it like 3-4 times.

I got it last time it was on sale. Though it only lasts a couple hours, it's FULL of pure joy. So if, in your mind, a couple of really great, fun-filled hours is worth that price, then get it.
Also, if you're the type to show off your VR to friends, as a lot of us are, I let a buddy try it and he couldn't stop until he'd finished either. Made it even more worth it to me.
There is limited replayability for some, as in the game within the game there are collectibles, and there's a tiny added game mode unlocked after you finish the main game. Neither of these led me back to playing again, but I still do not regret my purchase at all.
Hope this has helped!
 
honestly for beat sabre $13 for 10 songs is a great price. Its probably $13 because sony takes 30%, then they have to pay people who hold music rights, and whats left goes to dev, and what ever little promotion they do, its really not like they are making much per song. I think they are still cheaper than rock band songs back in their time.

I agree with only being  a fan of half of them, still fun to play around with though, Lets see where the next pack takes us :)

Yeah I realized about 30 seconds after I posted that, that it wasn't going to be true.

2-3 of the songs are flat out terrible to me though, and I don't think I'll be playing them again other than to get S grade and that's it.

Smashbox is pretty good as a multiplayer shooter, though nobody's playing it. The smartest move they did is that bots fill up player slots, so you can always play it whenever you want.

That sounds good. Although now that I look it up, I realize it's been on sale for $2.49 a few times in the past, so I can probably wait.

I think I will most likely get Salary Man Escape. It seems like a weird little game in my wheelhouse.

As an aside, I saw this article about the possibility of wireless PSVR (probably not for awhile):

https://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2019/03/15/wireless-playstation-vr/

Sony has patented a new band determination device and frequency band determination method to allow the PlayStation system to figure out the location of the user’s movements. According to the patent, the PS4 could have a “program capable of switching a frequency band used for communication earlier than before according to a change in an environment in which a communication device or a communication partner is placed.” The language might be a little advanced, but the associated images make things pretty clear.

Also of note:

In September 2018, Sony filed a patent for a VR headset with built in sensors and thermometers that can check for a user’s motion sickness and well being. If the headset thinks that one is unwell, it would alert the user.

I get the feeling it would tell me I'm "unwell" right off the bat.

I've been using an SMG in Borderlands 2 VR. It made me realize holding the alt fire button doesn't just do things like switch some guns to burst fire. It also acts as aiming down sights. Your gun becomes more accurate, and you move slower.

This changes what I thought about the pistols early in the game. Since they didn't have an alt fire feature I didn't bother holding the alt fire button while shooting. That's what lead to them having heavy recoil. I decided to track down an early pistol, and holding the alt fire button did make it more accurate. Though it does help that I used my skill points to max out my bullet speed stat.

If you have an Aim controller this is definitely a game worth adding to your collection. In the Great Indoors sale it's $37 with PS+, but codes can be found for... $30? Damn, the ebay seller I bought it from just a week ago raised the price by $5.00. The Aim support update probably lead to the codes becoming a more sought after item.

 
One thing about the Aim controller in Borderlands 2 is a lot of the guns don't have ironsights. At least not the kind that are on the Farpoint or Arizona Sunshine guns. Those games have large ironsights that make actually aiming down the sights work well. In Borderlands 2 the ironsights are normal sized. The gun models are probably the same as the original Borderlands 2. With some of the guns you can physically aim down the sights, but using the crosshair outside the ironsights works best. So the immersion of aiming down sights that Farpoint and Arizona Sunshine have isn't really in Borderlands 2.

Still, aiming with the crosshair works great. I think the reason I started to favor an SMG is the way I was holding the Aim controller was very similar to the way Leon Kennedy holds and shoots the TMP in Resident Evil 4. While I lost immersion one way, I got it back in another cool way.

Another cool thing is when I got a rocket launcher I thought it's kind of weird having this large gun model right in front of me. Without really thinking about it I moved my hands to position the Aim controller as if I had a rocket launcher set over my shoulder. It looked right, it felt right, and aiming with the crosshair worked just as well. Looking up and blasting aircrafts out of the sky in this manner was pretty awesome.

I paid way more for every single one of those games. :whistle2:( If you're feeling overwhelmed, I'd say use your $20 on Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, Statik, and possibly Batman: Arkham VR or Farpoint (only if you have the Aim controller; also compatible with Arizona Sunshine).

Creed has been on sale for $14.99 a couple times in the past. However, one time it had a price error of $8.99, so now most of us won't bite till it hits that low again (it worked for Castlevania).

A few VR reviews from the last sale (none currently on sale).

Affected: The Manor

I'm feeling kinda neutral about this one. It's a mostly barebones "horror experience" where you explore a haunted mansion using your Move as a flashlight while shit jumps out at you. It reminded me a bit of the mansion in Layers of Fear, with some of the scares of Paranormal Activity. There are two paths to take, so you will at least get a double playthrough out of it. In order to get 100%, you have to spend 2 hours inside of the manor (not cumulative), but there's hardly enough material to fill up half an hour. If you're able to nab it for a couple bucks, go for it; otherwise, you're not missing much.

Home Sweet Home

Compared to Affected: The Manor, this game was pretty terrifying. It's similar to Outlast where it's mostly linear with an element of stealth/survival horror where you'll end up hiding in lockers and stalls a lot. The puzzles aren't overly difficult and I only got stuck in one section (the stupid safe combination), but for the most part it's fun and enjoyable (about $15 value). My 100% playthrough lasted approximately 5 hours; however, it ends with a TO BE CONTINUED. That's right, it turns out this was only Episode 1, so you aren't given much resolution.

Paper Dolls

I've complained about this kind of thing before, but Paper Dolls has the worst godawful Move controls of ANY game I've ever played. Period. As soon as I tried the atrocious alternating trigger scheme to walk, I immediately switched to the simpler DS4 controls (which were apparently added later due to popular demand). As far as the game goes, you wander around solving puzzles and collecting keys to unlock doors while avoiding very annoying ghost-like presences that kill you instantly (reminded me of the more frustrating parts of White Day). Beyond its bad controls, the game's honestly not that bad, but I wouldn't pay more than 10 bucks for it. I finished it in about 6 hours, and wouldn't you know it? Turns out this was just "part 1" too. It's probably too stressful to play again for the platinum.

Wow, really promising news for the future of PSVR. I'm excited for a majority of these games. Thanks for summarizing everything in a concise post, FT.

 
I got the plat for No Man's Sky back when it first came out, but VR is going to be the thing that brings me back. Haven't tried any of the new content yet so I am actually pretty excited. Should be a great VR game.

I've installed NMS at least 3 times, playing it a bit more each time. I could see VR keeping me in much longer though considering the video looked like the style has been preserved really well.

Otherwise it's pretty clear that PSVR will have pretty solid support all year. Golem is listed as a spring release and will likely be a pretty big game as well.

That State of Play showcase was awesome yesterday!  Only 20 minutes long, to the point, no awkward banter or interviews!  Just trailers and release dates, and I am interested in almost every game they spotlighted in it.

I don't care that they stole the format/style directly from Nintendo!  I'd get excited for and watch every one of these in the future!
