Freaking Amazing!, February 3, 2018
By Vinnie –

This review is from: PlayStation VR – Skyrim Bundle (Video Game)
I read hundreds of online reviews before purchasing PSVR. I had some reservations because of the negative reviews regarding the graphics, but I decided to go ahead and buy it anyway.
I’ve played it at least five hours today, and I can understand why some have complained about the graphics, but those people are being too critical. The graphics aren’t bad at all. Most of my time has been spent playing Skyrim. Graphically, it’s on par with the PS3/360 version. That may not seem very impressive, but being in Skyrim completely makes up for the lack of fidelity. There is some blurriness and lack of detail. The draw distance suffers also, but I would say that’s on par with the last gen systems also.
Most of the people who write the negative reviews, have unrealistic expectations of current gen VR. For what it accomplishes, it’s an unbelievable technology. I’ve dreamed of experiencing this level of immersion since I was a child. I’m now 35 years old and I feel like the future if gaming is finally here. This isn’t a novelty, it’s the inevitable progression towards something more than a flat lifeless screen.
There are some negatives, but, in my mind, they aren’t severe enough to lower my rating to anything less than 5 stars. A few of the negatives are: Slightly blurry graphics, blur in peripheral vision while using cinematic mode, the move controllers do not allow for natural movement, and the move controllers do not allow for enough interaction with the environment. Most of my complaints have to do with the move controllers and limitations of the PS camera. Considering this tech was adapted to the PS4, it’s understandable and an incredible achievement. They made the most with the technology they had, and what they created is nothing short of amazing.
A lot of people have mentioned that they experienced motion sickness, but I have yet to experience it myself. I played some demos, watched some movies, and I spent 3 hours playing Skyrim with the smooth movement option enabled. I played with both the move controllers and the dual shock. The movement is obviously smoother with the dual shock, but the Moves allow for much more interaction. I’d never used the Moves before playing in VR. They take a little time to become accustomed to. After an hour or so I had a pretty good grasp on them.
As long as I can stomach it, I know I’ll be investing many hours in Skyrim VR. My next purchases will be RE7 Biohazard and Doom VFR. I can’t wait to try more games and I can’t wait to see what comes out in 2018. The technology is relatively new, and games take time to develope. With time, I’m sure we’ll see many more high quality games being released.
If you’re expecting high res graphics, you’re going to be disappointed. If you’re looking for an entirely different way to experience gaming, then buy this bundle right tf now!
Just imagine what this technology will look like in 5 years on next generation consoles!
*Update*
I’ve owned my PSVR for about two weeks now. I stand by my original review, but I’ve had a couple of issues since then. One being that I have had an ongoing problem with the cinematic mode. While in cinematic mode, the simulated screen is slightly off center. Holding the recenter button does not correct this problem. I’ve also tried the other troubleshooting fixes, including rebooting the PS4 and placing the headset on a level surface while powered on. I used a level and tape measure to ensure that my camera is not at an angle or off center. I’ve read many online comments that state that this is an issue caused by the recent software update. Whatever the cause, it’s really annoying. The problem also carries over to game content where the HUD and character is also off center and slanted slightly.
My other issue is with the lenses. I wipe them off regularly and I store my headset on a charging stand, but somehow a piece of lint/dust has somehow found its way into the headset. At first I thought it was on the outside of the lens, but after wiping of the lens, I discovered that it is in the interior. I really don’t know how to fix this issue without dismantling the headset, which is something that I don’t feel comfortable doing.

BEST REAL REVIEW!!, November 23, 2017
By Luke (Boston, Ma. USA) –
This review is from: PlayStation VR – Skyrim Bundle (Video Game)
For $350, this is an absolute steal for what you get! Right to the point, buy on Amazon, go online to reddit and join the helpful & growing psvr community. Learn how to get the most of this new gadget from people who’ve owned it for over a year now on reddit/psvr.
Once you get familiar with everything, demo it to as many people as possible, please. It’s seriously THAT good, and you’ll be helping spread the word about vr.
PSVR’s best killer vr game/app for now is ‘WipeOut: The Omega Collection’.
Followed by Resident Evil 7.
Farpoint with the AIM controller.
Skyrim.
WHAT YOU’RE GETTING
This is the redesigned version 2 model. You get a slightly revised vr headset with buttons (power, volume, & mute) on the headset instead of a separate wired, white inline remote box of the V1 model. V1 headphones plug into this box too (adding yet another cable!), V2 earphones snap into rails and the earbuds plug neatly into the headset for storage (no wire clutter vs V1).
You get an updated processing unit box that can automatically pass HDR signal unlike V1 where you had to buy an aftermarket switch box or swap cables.
You get slightly improved Move controllers (that will need charging) with 30% larger batteries, and a micro usb port vs mini usb on the old ones. Any stand or charger will work with ANY moves, as they charge by contact points, and NOT by usb connection. Yes the old PS3 Moves work with psvr (they’re the same as the V1 PS4 Moves).
You also get a much lighter/slimmer 1-piece cable coming from the headset to the processor unit vs a heavy 2-piece cable with a bulky inline connector box on the V1.
You want this version as it has minor but welcome QOL changes (Cuh-zvr2) aka V2.
The gaming, screen resolution, and everything else is the same between V1 & V2, so you get the same exact experience. The V1 psvr can be up to $100 cheaper though, and V1 & V2 components are not interchangeable/ compatible, only the Moves and HDMI cables are. V1’s are being discontinued.
If you foolishly rather wait for PS5 & PSVR2, figure at least by 2021 or 22 we’ll hear something, but you will be seriously missing out on some great vr over the next 4 or 5yrs. Also psvr is worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY!!! x1000 Especially this Skyrim bundle with Move controllers.
GAMES:
Some good games are: Demo Disc 1 & 2 (free), Playroom(free), Rec Room (free), FARPOINT with the Aim controller!! (co-op is amazing & so is the 1v1 pvp. It’s like StarShip Troopers meets C.O.D. & the Terminator), Resident Evil 7 (10 to 15 hour long horror survival & best realistic graphics & immersion on psvr OMG! it’s scary af!), Rick & Morty, Solus Project (10 to 15 hour long survival exploration on an alien planet with giant tornados, meteor showers, etc), Skyrim (open world Fantasy rpg with Huge Dragons & literally hundreds of hours of gameplay), Megaton Rainfall (fly around earth & the solar system destroying aliens and whole planets as an ultra powerful superhero similar to Superman vs War of the Worlds for like $15), Until Dawn: Rush of Blood(dual hands shooting evil clowns while riding on a roller coaster), Super Hot (must own Matrix style fps. Time stops as you stop), Arizona Sunshine (free locomotion 1 or 2 player co-op campaign Zombie survival shooter, 4 player Horde mode. This is The Walking Dead in vr!! It’s about 6+ hours long and plays with ALL controllers), I Expect You To Die (Secret agent/spy James Bond type interactive vr game but it’s kinda short), Doom VFR (Doom in vr), The London Heist (mix between The Transporter, Jason Bourne, & GTA. It’s short but amazing!) on the VR Worlds disc, not the Mickey shooting gallery on the demo disc!, Batman Arkham VR (amazing graphics, and you’re Batman the detective), Sprint Vector (fun marathon type race with up to 8 multi players), Rigs, Archangel (both are mech/giant robot games), Star Trek (4 players on the SS Enterprise), Preta: Vendetta Rising (40 hour plus RPG), Apex Construct (1st person free roam exploration adventure with crossbow), Moss (cute mouse puzzle game on Disney level graphically), UltraWings (cartooney airplane flight simulator with like 20 hours of gameplay) and a whole lot more.
Coming in 2018: way more great games such as: Blood & Truth, Firewall: Zero Hour, Ace Combat 7, Alvo, Zero Killed, End of The Beginning, Golem, Megalith, Reborn: A Samurai Awakens, Gunheart, Killing Floor Incursion, and many more!
Sony is not putting analog sticks on the Move controllers! Accept it, and let’s move on. Also Move controllers WILL be needed at some point to get the full experience. Move controllers are your hands in vr. They allow you to: interact with the vr world, pick stuff up, dual-wield pistols & swords, shoot in 2 separate directions, use a bow & arrow, pick up a clip in 1 hand and stick it into the gun in your other hand to reload, they can be used as an…

Describing Skyrim in VR is impossible. Itâs something that has to be experienced. Yes itâs an old game but in VR it feels new again. Lightning bolting one bandit with one hand while skewering another with the other hand is such an awesome experience.
But itâs the feeling of presence that is indescribable. After hours of playing you literally feel like you were somewhere else.
