Anyone with PSVR has to get Statik !!

 It's stunning , it's a puzzle game where your hands are stuck in a box and every button on the controller does something - which you have to work out . [

Yeah it's great , hopefully Battlefront 2 has something a bit more substantial .


I also played Starblood Arena tonight but feel a bit queasy ( got to get my VR legs back ) it's multiplayer game of Descent and is good .

Tried the Statik demo last night. It had me stumped for just about the right length of time before the eureka moment. Bought the full game now.

Iv'e had the PSVR for about a month now and have played through most of the free stuff and demos. Other games I've bought so far.

Job simulator
Keep talking and nobody explodes
Wayward sky 
Headmaster
Dirt rally
Rez infinite
Battle zone

I'm getting used to the motion in some games but prefer the ones without. Any recommendations for must have games?

I've mentioned this loads and it's on sale until sometime today for £14.99 . Werewolves Within, it's a hidden role game and is amazing and a right laugh .

Job Simulator is more like a toy than a game. In the 4 jobs available you get given simple tasks to complete but the fun really comes from picking up objects and experimenting and just messing about. You need the move controllers​ and it's designed to be played standing up. I found I had to move the camera from the top of the TV to the wall a couple of feet behind and higher up so that I was in the middle of the play area. Lots of humour in the game but not sure how much replay value there is as you can get through each job in about 15 minutes. It's a good one for getting other people to play.

Looks great.

Cross platform as well

Yeah, I'm hoping the sequel brings a couple of lengthier VR missions (in which case I might actually be inclined to buy it at launch, despite not actually liking the "regular" Battlefront experience that much.)

I've been playing Statik, it's one of the very few games to successfully pull me away from Zelda for any time.  Really enjoying it, though it's fairly short (I've played for about 3 hours, and have, I think, just two puzzles left to go).  The weird interludes between puzzles are amusing, but ultimately a bit unnecessary (the cube assembly mini puzzle in particular).  

The main game though is sublime.  Portal levels of satisfaction kick in when you solve a puzzle, and they are all impressively varied.  Just when you think you've got the game nailed, it comes up with something new.  From a technical stand point, the VR's OK, but not astonishing (there have been a few judders), and if I'm being honest I suspect you could probably manage to make essentially the same game without the VR headset.  However, that's nit-picking.  It's rare for a puzzle game to so accurately and consistently hit the sweet spot between challenge and success.  For almost every puzzle there has been a point where I considered taking off the helmet because I was "stuck", only to have a Eureka moment and suddenly feel like the smartest guy in the room.  (Though given it's just you and Dr Ingen, that's not saying much.)

Definitely recommended.

I was considering that in the sale, but went for Headmaster instead.

I'll shut up about Statik soon, I promise.  Just tried the multiplayer option and it's absolutely brilliant.  One player sits in the VR suit, the other links up via tablet/phone - problems can only be solved with a lot of communication as to what the other's able to do and see.  

It's incredibly good fun, and every bit as satisfying as the single player game.  What's odd is that the game does very little to advertise the option.  There's no reference on the menu screen, just a brief comment on a loading screen.  You have to go out of the game, connect a device via the PS App (remember that?), and then restart - at which point you get a completely new front screen.  So far puzzles tried involve variants on ones we've seen before in single player, but altered more than enough to keep them challenging.

It won't thought will it ? No room scale?

What does this mean?

Oculus and Vive build a virtual 'room' with your help via their camera system so they can measure your movements 1:1 and keep you in a safe environment whilst you move around this 'room'. PSVR with the one cam can't build this effect or environment so the games with 'bigger' input variables struggle with the tracking. It would be possible but just nowhere near as technically capable so very probably just infuriating.

Google, Disney and ILM dropping some mobile VR bombs here:

I do like the new interface, which displays all the goings on of friends and other users on big screens in your James Bond baddie lair.

I've done it. Vive ordered. PC needs a graphics card as well and I've got to get some stands or something for the lighthouses (I'm renting at the moment so not going to start drilling into the walls). Should be a week or so until I've got all the bits together and working.

Not going to have the longest life span but HTC don't seem that bothered about bringing a new high end one at the moment. And I've got some stuff in unity I want to start messing around with in VR.
