It does look pretty cool! Getting some great reviews!


Have you tried VR Jay? And I mean proper VR not cardboard or similar crappy system...

I know how it feels Jay, I've got that vertigo thing going on too. I can't even watch 3D TVs while I'm standing, I fall all over the place, so fucknose what would happen if I used VR.

One thing is weird though is that it don't effect my driving. If I'm the passenger of someone that's driving like a nobcheese though then it triggers the vertigo and sets off my anxiety, so I tend to stay out of those situations. Other things that trigger it are fairground rides, walking alongside flowing rivers, or I sometimes lose my balance on occasions but not too often thank fuck. Other than feeling like I wanna blow chunks if watching 3D TVs and Nintendo 3DS, I'm not really in any danger from it.

I think the reason why my driving isn't effected is due to feel of intertia instead of just sight without feeling, the VR and 3D TV stuff tricks the brain into thinking you're moving without the actual movement which isn't natural at all.

Yeah Wipeout may be a bit too much for you Steve, but there are some great experiences to had in VR. I've just finished "I Expect You To Die" and in that game you are seated all the time in different types of rooms, you dont walk around or teleport, and its a fantastic game!

If I ever get the chance then I might try it just the once for shits 'n' giggles, but the VR helmet might get filled with chunks.

I’ve not attempted proper VR, no.
But given that I can barely move my head IRL without getting motion sick, I don’t think it’d agree with me!

They say vertigo is sometimes to do with the fluids in the inner ear, have they checked that yet Jay?

Reviews are looking good for Wipeout VR, top tip is "pace yourself":

There’s other comfort options too. If you aren’t prone to motion sickness, you can try dialing back the peripheral canopy in the game’s settings, which pulls back the enclosure around your head, opening up more of your view at any one time to the game world. This effectively increases your field of view, but you might find that makes your more susceptible to nausea. Instead of the independently rotating cockpit, you can also lock the camera’s rotation to your craft’s full rotation, or to the track itself (with each step increasing the motion of the experience).

Each time you dial back the comfort options, you open yourself up to the possibility of nausea. In a game like Wipeout Omega Collection, it can build slowly over time until you suddenly realize you’re dizzy and need to take off the headset (which is never fun). But if you pace yourself—experiment with the comfort options, find what works—you can have a ton of fun with Wipeout on PSVR.
