Sony's PlayStation VR was released a few days ago, and it was received with mixed reactions coming from the community.
Starting with the good things, Lee Henaghan from Stuff happened to spend the last few days using the PlayStation VR. He generally acknowledges that it is a good device, although he was skeptical at first because of the high-end devices that require high-end PCs that was previously released.
The report concentrated on the launch titles included with the device, starting with the "Driveclub VR." The virtual reality racing simulation game offers a truly immersive experience. He truly enjoyed every inch of the cars, the races, and the tracks. However, he noted that it lacked one thing, the smell of burning rubber when its pedal to the metal.
"Here They Lie" is a horror game that came up to his expectations. He was shaken after playing the game. It can be described as a game that offers a tour of an abandoned and decaying city accompanied by stalking monsters.
Finally, "Batman VR," which offers the best graphics among the other PlayStation VR launch titles, was also reviewed. For anyone who wants to pretend to be someone like Batman, the latest gaming device is the best way to experience being one. One highpoint of the game is the developer's attention to detail.
Lewis Hilsenteger, from Unbox Therapy, also shared his initial positive reaction with the PlayStation VR. The video clip clearly demonstrated the fun and enjoyment that gamers will experience with the device.
Meanwhile, Cheat Sheet mentioned several points that others should consider before getting into the latest device. First is the steep price, which is expected from any other new device on the market, but it is still expected to go down within the next couple of years. The complete bundle retails for $499, including the headset and controller, while the headset alone is offered at $399. This, of course, means that one should have a PlayStation 4 to use the device. For those starting from the ground up would need an additional $300 for the current PS4 model or $400 for the more powerful PlayStation 4 Pro, which will be released soon.
Additionally, since the device Is still in its infancy, its game library is limited. There are not a lot of available games yet, but the number of games is expected to significantly increase in the years to come as the big game developers start getting involved. However, it is not expected to be immediate.
There are also a small number of reports of movement issues. It is still unclear on the real cause of the issues, but first reports indicate that the camera is failing to recognize the Move controller by the players.
