Re: The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR (PSVR2) - Lousy Rails Shooter Is a Supermassive Shame

The blur and grit go away if you set your brightness to 40 or less! Try level 3 and also try to keep your flashlights hidden when not shooting or especially when heading down the tracks. I believe the higher brightness is lighting the fog/smoke/dust effects causing blur and covering the inky dark sections. This may need to be done with all dark games as DF's John Linneman suggests in his Res Vill VR breakdown to turn the brightness to it's lowest setting! Am I just getting use to the visuals or does this adjustment make the major difference I think I'm seeing?

Re: Hands On: PSVR2 Represents the Next Big Step for VR

@TheCollector316 your brain is going to burst! Even the OG was convincing enough to confuse my stomach while barrel rolling although I knew I was sitting in a chair in my living room! If PSVR2 is your first, this could need your most memorable launch of all time! I'm excited for new players in the community.

@mohilrai Actually, #14 is the OG Guac! I would be bummed if they left both off as well. Maybe this needs to be a top 50, too many good games out there! I also want to see Transistor, Streets of Rage 4 and Tower Fall Ascension!

Re: Iron Man VR Dev Is 'All-In' on Virtual Reality

hookedWORM17

I couldn't bring myself to play through Iron Man because I felt the frame rate was too low. The demo to me was felt playing a video game in 3D but did not feel like VR. The control scheme they created was perfect and I'm excited we will get to play more on PSVR2... if the dang thing will ever get here!

Re: Sony Unveils PSVR2 User Experience, Including See-Through View, Customisable Play Area

@BritneyfR_ee I love Quest 2 too but being wireless means that they are running a beefed up cell phone processor with a hot battery attached to your head. I'm foaming at the mouth for PSVR2 because it will be powered by the PS5 processor, SSD and the console's plugged in power supply. PSVR1 is still the champ for head comfort, IMO. There is the loss of an awkward exterior camera orientation and added ventilation with 4k HDR! It will be seen but only Sony can be at fault if PSVR2 doesn't reinvent what VR is capable of. A dedicated two hand controller with analog finally?! I'll stop..I need this puppy now!

Re: Sony Shares First Look at PS Plus Extra, Premium Games

@Martsmall I think the real issue isn't Sony acting lack luster but that Microsoft has such deep pockets that they purposely decided to take a financial hit to push out the competition. MS forced Sony to take a financial hit and this IS the best they can afford to do for us, although an evolving entity. I HOPE Sony doesn't give in and allow too many Day 1 freebies because these are the highest quality products on any format and the developers deserve to make a living!.. in my opinion.

Re: Sony Delays Returnal to 30th April for Extra Polish

I love to hear this, personally. I'd rather face a years worth of delays as long as I get a finished product. It's like being told you can't blow out your candles yet, I'm adding another layer of icing to your birthday cake. Are you paying attention, CD Projekt?

Re: Soapbox: Having My PS5 Launch Day Nerfed By Amazon

@antdickens I gotta disagree with you on this one, bro. Automation is horrible customer service. Isn't that what the Terminator movies are about? 😂 A robot never tells you compassionately "thank you for your business." One-on-one human relations are the foundation of a honest service. Your story genuinely broke my heart as I imagined feeling your excitement. A great story for your portfolio at a minimum, I guess.

@NEStalgia Jeff Bezos = the devil, in my opinion. The only reason Amazon took off in the US is because he found a loophole in tax law that allowed him to not charge sales tax from out of state purchases. He single handedly almost destroyed brick and mortar businesses (and all of the jobs lost) plus incorporates so much tech that he doesn't provide jobs. To make it clear, although convenient, he has done more damage to the world than good.
