NGB | PlayStation VR Review – The Hardware

NGB Wrote: "Until the recent preview event that we attended, I was relatively sceptical on how well the PlayStation VR would perform, particularly on the standard PS4 model. However, after an extended time with the unit and a bunch of software, I’ve been left hugely impressed with Sony’s offering. Whilst the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive will be the go-to headsets for those with ultra PCs and a suitably healthy bank balance, the PlayStation VR truly is punching above its weight. Easily the most comfortable headset on the market, Sony have found the perfect sweet spot between price and performance. My time with the hardware so far has been a genuine joy, and and whilst I still think that VR will be a novelty for some time to come, this is the biggest opportunity that the technology has to hit the mainstream, and I sincerely hope it lives up to its potential."

Sounds great! The best part is that ALL of these reviews are based on their experiences with the STANDARD PS4 – things will only get better with the launch of the PS4 Pro in November!

Taken from the article: the PlayStation VR truly is punching above its weight. Easily the most comfortable headset on the market, Sony have found the perfect sweet spot between price and performance. My time with the hardware so far has been a genuine joy.

Sony have done an amazing job with the PSVR, it deserves to do well.

Oh wow i completely forgot about that. Very true.

Im going to be showing mine off to everyone i know this holiday just to laugh at the reactions. Lol

Can’t wait to see dear old ma in Ocean Descent! Actually, my dad used to dive – it would be interesting to know what he thinks. I saw a youtube reaction from an ex diver who was really impressed and still jumped like a big wimp when a shark lunged at him, even though he’d just watched his daughter play it! lol

Ahh man, i so want to get the Pro in Nov but cant, have to wait 4 months... :(

MilkMan2795d ago

He said it right. It's a novelty for some time to come. I'll check it out in another five years. See where we are at. Meantime I wanna play games. Not tech demos.

I can finally watch pron, I mean watch pronouns be pronounced in PC VR games that were previously not available on Playstation.

crazyCoconuts70d ago

Profchaos70d ago

I'm excited for that to plus I can try fallout 4 VR always wanted to play that

crazyCoconuts70d ago

I was lucky and held off on 4 until I played it in VR. It really is pretty awesome - you'll love it.

The icing on the cake would be if Sony / Valve allow for a Steam Link app much like it is for the Quest 3. Likely wishful thinking, though.
