@Robbirtles Dang it! I'd also saw a post where someone had claimed they had issues on their external drive, but on the internal - it worked. This seems kind of odd to me, but I'm mentioning it here just on the off chance that you want to try it to see if it'll help. I think the game needs some patch to fix a few strange issues.
@GamerDad66 Boost mode does not affect PSVR games - it's Supersampling which sometimes causes issues. Make sure that supersampling is off in the PS4 display menu. This has led to Minecraft not starting.
@The_ghostmen There is a bug in the head tracking! When you look left or right, the world tilts to the left or the right instead of remaining straight. This is why people are getting sick in PSVR Minecraft. A bug ticket has been placed with Mojang Support. Hopefully they address it. https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-100988
lol. Always kind of killed me that the male "bandicoot" is like a goofy hot mess, but the female was created as awesome hotbod complete with big breasts, makeup and sexy expressions. I guess they've got to be diverse and have a sassy, sexy, strong female lead eh?
The animation with Tawna looks so out of place too. That pause in mid air, to a circle spin, to a land looks like something I'd create in Dreams and then go "yeah.. that looks awkward."
Seriously - LMAO. So I google imaged the octagon ring and guess what? It has real world ads on the floor. And .. and .. this game now has REAL WORLD ADS ON THE FLOOR?? Say it isn't so !!!
What to people want? To see "Pizza But", "Weebok", or "Red Bullish" on the floor? Maybe "Pisswasser Beer"?
So it has real world ads in a game with real world fighters, who fight on a real world-styled Octagaon which has.. real world ads?
Seriously.. internet outrage. Gimme a break and get over yourselves.
Too expensive for what it is and a crippled control scheme of click turning and teleporting ("May the Forced control scheme be with you"). Very disappointing as even the weaker Quest had smooth locomotion. Poor developer decisions here so maybe on a steep sale.. but as it stands, I'm waiting for a real star wars VR game - Squadrons!
Good guide. Well put together. Personally, I looked at this game and decided to pass. I'm kind of MCU-d out. There is so much saturation of the marvel universe IPs that I'm kind of "meh" at them all. I even passed on the Iron Man VR game... mind you Camoflaj probably was a bad developer pick considering their development history (or lack thereof), but like this Avengers game.. I just kind of shrug at the title and say to myself "maybe when it's on a big sale sometime."
@Deadcow Totally agree- Ethan Carter is a huge, glaring omission on this list and better than a number of the titles here. Esther was kinda cool but kinda meh, virginia was a short, technical mess.
Gone Home was pretty mediocre and Rapture, although beautiful, was pretty slow to get through. I lost interest a couple of times before I finished it.
The trailer says PS4 & PSVR .. it doesn't say anything about PS5 VR.
..it also doesn't say you will play all 3 games in VR. It says:
HITMAN 3 is the end of the trilogy, but it’s only the beginning when we talk about HITMAN in VR. We’re proud to announce that we are bringing VR support to every location from all three games. Every location from the World of Assassination trilogy can be played in VR, when you play them in HITMAN 3. We’re working to finalize the specifics for how PSVR owners can enjoy Hitman in VR, and we’ll have more details to share in the months ahead."
It looks like missions in a VR mode from the locations in the game. It doesn't say you'll be playing the story, we need some clarification on just what this is. It's a teaser of a trailer and the description is a teaser of what the game actually is. They're still finalizing what this will be by the looks of it.
The game said "VR Mode included".. RIse of the Tombraider also said that and we got an experience. Concrete Genie said that and we got an experience. I don't think this is what we all think it is. It sounds like its probably select VR missions from all three games.
@nessisonett I don't think these are furries.. I think they'd be "scalies".
Its' interesting that 'furries' are now synonymous with human sized animals. Is this what the characters in Disney World and other theme parks are now?
Game's not for me either. I played Night in the Woods, and that was fine, but I wouldn't seek these types of games out.
Checkerboarding isn't as expensive as DLSS in terms of GPU processing needed. So I expect an enhanced version of checkerboarding which improves image quality, but doesn't place as much as a drag on GPU resources as DLSS does.
A year or two once my PS4 backlog has a significant dent and the PS5 games are more plentiful, and they have dropped on game sale cycles. I'd also like to get a more streamlined version with a smaller chassis and some energy improvements. That could be 2-3 years in the pipe before we see that though.
@LemonHaze Their process is called "fix and replace". You send yours in needing a fix and they replace it with a like-new refurb. They do the same process with PSVRs.
@Carl-G That's not normal man. Something's up. I have an OG, a Slim which is my daughter's and 2 Pros and before that I had a launch model and a launch pro (noisy 1st gen) model. Lots of PS4s and lots of gaming time and not once have I had that problem on any machine. Something's flakey with your system. Don't know what, but that is far from normal, so yeah.. I'm pretty sure you're not going to see that with your next console.
Yeeeaaahhh... that poster is definitely photoshopped. If it was real.. we'd see blue lights. PS has always been about the blue from the PS2 onward - red was never ever part of the picture. Could have fooled us if they went with blue, but red is a dead giveaway that it's been tampered with.
Yeah it'll be more powerful. But so was the XB1X. Having no games didn't do that machine any good over the Pro now did it.
There's a reason why the Switch is selling so well even though its the weakest system by far - games.
MS better learn or they will fail yet again.
And if ever - EVER - a console has the opportunity to represent theh Leviathan Axe - PLEASE have it look like an axe, not a fisher-price representation with a cartoonishly big axe head and a tiny handle?
@Kienda I'm glad there is a resurgence for another series of kids to enjoy Spongebob. I watched it with my kids and the off-the-wall innocent stupidity was something that has been missing since Looney Tunes. I enjoyed it. It's good he still is relevant with a new generation.
@SirRealDeal Debatable comment. The headset is a relatively low (in comparison to other HMDs) 960x1080 per eye, but it has a fantastic refresh rate of 120 Hz.
I have one on an OG and another on a Pro. While many games run at a sub-1080 resolution on the plain PS4, a Pro will do nearly all games at above 1080 and supersample down to 1080. This increases fidelity by a very good margin in some games (Astrobot is a great example), but we are still dealing with that 960x1080 matrix per eye.
Temporal reconstruction for 120fps does a good job (again, Astrobot), but native 120 is noticeably smoother (Kotrix).
I expect that the PS5 will be operating in Pro mode for all back compatibility games to allow for the best visuals for those, and new PS5 games using the existing headset will give us supersampling on all new titles - with better visuals (more detailed) due to the power of the machine - but as far as the headset goes - the only increase that the PS5 will free us from currently is all PS5-PSVR games can now run at 120fps natively.
I'm purposely not mentioning the Moves. We clearly need better controllers than those things.
1st gen Pro was pretty loud but my Death Stranding Pro is sooo quiet even running PSVR or 4k & no FPS capped games. Hoping it is at least as quiet as that.
@Akurusu Well you can always get the microsoft console if you don't like the design. Once again MS gave the world a box. This thing looks sexy af. Like it came out of some futuristic sci-fi movie. Bring it on!!
@MrGawain It will be interesting to see how the 2 versions sell and which regions they sell in. I'm in Canada, and like the US, internet coverage varies in rural areas and can often be quite slow. There will be a cost difference between the 2 as well. I'm getting a disc version of course, but it will be interesting to see where these things get picked up.
Wow.. who would be so daft as to think that?? How many games have people squeezing through areas? lol Suddenly we've forgotten standard game data streaming and we've jumped back to loading chunks of data like 15 years ago? With a brand-new engine like Unreal 5?? Who would think something so dumb??
Oh those silly flat-earthers think everything is a conspiracy!!

Re: SpongeBob Rehydrated - Battle for Bikini Bottom Remake Is Rough and Ready Fun
2003. The last time Spongebob was relevant.

But a 2003 Spongebob game remade in 2020? Perhaps not the best financial decision THQ Noric has made.
