Just tried out my PSVR for the first time today and I still like it. Really excited for future games and can't wait to play with some friends online. Just don't know what we'll be playing.
I haven't tried PSVR but I fail to believe it could ever compare to Vive. Playstation 4 just can't compare to a high end gaming PC. And seeing how demanding VR games are on PC, I fail to believe you're going to get a great experience on a much weaker system. Not to mention roomscale, roomscale is an absolute must.
Lol, please tell me more about how bad the product you've never tried actually is. People overestimate the importance of graphics, but they only get you so far.
I'm looking forward to building a new PC and buying a gen 2 Vive, but the PSVR is more than cool enough to last me until then.
I'm really liking Hordez and Kittypocalypse. Onward looks great but I need to play around with it a bit more before I'm willing to get into the multiplayer, it's a steep learning curve, for me at least.I'm curious, what game(s) did you play?
The screen door effect is going to be there no matter what with your eyes that close to a screen. I will say I have a Vive and you hardly notice it if at all while actually playing games. The worst part is reading small text which could become really difficult. Fortunately, there's not really much reading involved in VR games, the devs are surely aware of how difficult it can be, and menus are often huge so reading is not a problem.
That being said, VR really isn't about the display or graphics, as evidenced by how bad the graphics are in games due to how demanding the games are. It's about immersion and even with the worst graphics in VR, it's more immersive than the best graphics on a TV/monitor. VR is absolutely about a whole new experience.
I've never felt more badass in a video game than the first time I played Space Pirate Trainer and I'm shooting at robots to my right, while holding a shield to my left to protect me from robots shooting on that side and having to duck from robots shooting in front of me.
The only time I've truly laughed maniacally in a video game is while playing Serious Sam VR where I can see myself dual wield rocket launchers and shoot at a monster 20 stories talling throwing huge boulders at me.
I have never played an online shooter like Onward which is easily the closest thing I've played to real life combat.
It's a great workout, Audioshield or Holoball gets you sweating within minutes and is really addictive.
Vanishing Realms makes me feel like a child again playing RPGs on NES. Not much direction, just go out and explore the world, and the combat is so satisfying and fluid whether it's bow & arrow or sword & shield.

I wouldn't mind trying a Rift when they get roomscale set up but I don't know anyone who has it and it's going to be even more expensive than a Vive, plus I don't want to support their shady business practices.
VR is definitely quite the experience, I can't speak highly enough about it. I get the skepticism online after how hyped people got for 3D TVs or motion controls and then actually trying it and seeing how lackluster or disappointing it was. I was skeptical of VR at first too, but then I tried a Rift. I first thought the same thing, "holy ****, this screen door effect is insane." But, within minutes, I looked past that, and entered a whole new world of gaming that none of us had ever been in before.
This thing is amazing, I love mine.
Just don't play RE7 or Alien: Isolation on it unless you want a heart attack
Strange this that I don't think the pc version has vr which I would assume playstation payed for
So Farpoint and Star Trek Bridge Crew are both extremely tempting... Some great-looking PSVR games out there, and I'm building a PC for Destiny 2, so I'll be in the market for a new VR headset if a new one has higher resolution than the Vive and/or eye tracking.
Probably going to be a couple years for that still. (At least, a good quality VR headset)
We're not far off from a 4K HMD (full RGB, preferably), or possibly even higher. And eye tracking already exists. I'd love for a consumer headset to have one or both, but I'd be shocked if there wasn't one released by next Christmas.
