Picked one of these up at the start of the month to be given as a Christmas present. Overall it's a nice sample of what VR has to offer but my only concern is how poor the visuals are. Have I set this thing up wrong?
It just looks very low resolution and anything over 10ft away in game is indistinguishable. You can visibly see pixels and aliasing. This is with a Pro.
Can anyone advise? I was always told that the feeds shown from outlets are usually from the share screen and don't give you the same quality as the headset but the TV share looks infinitely better than the headset!

Yeah that's what it looks like. You're trading visuals for a different kind of experience. I find simple and darker games tend to look better.
I love VR and the psvr is a very nice piece of kit， but it's also very gen 1 and a taste of how good things will get down the line. Get Headmaster

yeah, the graphics aren't great. They say driveclub is the worst, but I spent 30mins driving around with a huge grin on my face. Flinching when you drive into a lamp post is just wrong

Does it work well? Tempted to try it out as there a lot more vr games to play via steam.
What did you use to get it working and have you tried the Alien isolation vr hack?
used trinus, head tracking works fine, had to change pixel display to rgb 4:4:4 for it to display from my amd cards. It's a bit of a chore switching between things but promising start.
will try and see if i can get alien to work later.

I agree, massive oversight. Is there any way round it via splitters?

Hope there's some good stuff on the way this year for psvr! Even the indie games that appear on steam would be fine.
Syren looks promising if you havnt seen it yet. Got a Alien Isolation kind of look to it.
Oh and Modern Zombie Taxi looks fun

Resident Evil 7 was a miss for me but now I have VR it's the best experience I've had on it! It is epic. Day one for me and I'll play for 10 minutes at a time until finished.
The Star Wars demo is killer also!
It reminds me of the Wii, looks bad but the gameplay makes up for it!

I wasn't that impressed with the Star Wars VR level. At least the flying parts. Now that bit at the start when the ATAT walks by - wow And I liked looking at the X-Wing from the outside and inside. Like with Eve tho, the flying/combat didn't do anything for me.
Have to agree re. Resident Evil 7 - it takes it to a new level. I hadn't tried it in 2D, but a mate who had came by and he was super impressed. He kept stopping to look at things up close that in 2D he strolled by. This is what VR developers need to grasp - VR is most fun when you just get to move around and look at stuff. Shoe horning in traditional gameplay is never going to work. Anyways- day one purchase!

Just a massive shame the Star Wars demo was just that - a demo!
I don't think it looks bad just not up to standard with the latest ps4 releases. I still need to determine if the pro will make much difference as well.

Got mine today and was doing fine until i had a try on that scavengers odyssey, still feel sick!
Can a keyboard/mouse be used on ps4 for FPS? Been a PC gamer!

Pretty sure you cannot use mouse/keyboard combo on ps4, mainly to ensure a level playing field for online play.
Motion sickness is still my main concern with the Psvr, I've read you can try things like travel sickness wrist bands or using ginger to help and that you need to slowly build up your tolerance by playing in shorter sessions. However, I've also read that some users cannot get over it which worries me a little. I played Eve, Drive Club and Battlezone for a combined total of around 15 mins and felt a little motion sick

And for Rush of Blood! Still my go to for introducing newbies to PSVR
My only issue is the calibration gets out of whack too often. Easily fixed tho.
