I was expecting a mid-late december release at best. Good thing I've just found out where my PS Move were hiding two days ago thanks to the release of Déraciné, they will be more than ready to make me burn some fat with this gem =)

Hell ya, friends and I were waiting on this to get PSVR. Is there a price? And hope it has mod support

Beat Saber looks really fun, but isn't a large part of that being able to use custom songs? Not sure if PS4 version is even worth getting into without that. Maybe I'm wrong though, is the default playlist pretty good?

Awesome. I was waiting for the PSVR version. Too bad it won't have user songs but I take song packs.

It's been a great year for PSVR. There's been good stuff pretty much all year long. Really happy with how the lineup turned out.

As much as I looooooove Beat Saber, I'd caution those that are interested in buying it at full price. Even with some extra songs, that's not a lot of content. And as cool as actually playing it is, the custom songs is what makes this game.

Of course, that all depends on what the launch price is.

Beat Saber is amazing and one of my favourite VR games. While it's true that mod support does expand the game and takes it to some amazing places don't be put off by people that will suggest that it's the be all and end all. I had an absolutely great time with Beat Saber before I learned that I could add custom songs. What's there in the original package is still wonderful. Don't miss it.

I'm terrified about how effective the tracking will be, and I almost don't care because I'm buying it anyway.

Great to see they are put in some new content and we haven't been waiting just for a basic port, although that would have still been fine but I always appreciate when developers do a little extra.

This and Tetris Effect are really going to take a good chunk of time over the holidays.

Without the player created content I really hope they go for a reasonable price point, even with 5 new tracks that means that the game has a to a total of what? 15 tracks? That's not a whole lot imo.

What's up with the 'exclusive' stuff mentioned? Are they dropping their PC player base and not giving them any of the updates?

This game is damn fun and almost a workout on some harder songs. Great addition to the already growing PSVR library!

I'm looking forward to this, not sure if I will buy day 1 though. Wish the music was rock though, rather than electronic.

Beat Saber is the first game to give me that feeling of wonder since Super Mario 64. It is brilliant and my personal GOTY. PSVR users are in for a treat, and this is simply a must own, no qualifiers.

They promised updates including multiplayer to come to PC after PSVR launch
These exclusive stuffs are meaningless on PC anyway. The modders have already add modded stages, avatars, songs, blades etc for a long time now

If only it would support Spotify playlists. I'll keep an eye on it but won't likely get it until next year.

User created content was never going to happen. The pc is obviously the superior platform for this game, but I'm still excited to finally get to play it. PSVR has been on a roll lately!

It would be nice to get official song DLC later down the line. They could also do it on PC because official DLC would have a guaranteed quality that custom tracks may not have - for example the definition of what is Expert and what is Expert+ seems to be varying a lot.

Are the original PS3 Move controllers any different from the current ones other than the charging port? Will have to pick up another for this game as long as the one I have is compatible.

Fresh content is our priority and we want to bring you new music regularly. The first Expansion Pack with 10 songs is coming to the game very soon after the release. You can choose between different music genres and enjoy well-known artists together with emerging indie talents.

Nice :)

Hm... disappointed to hear that the campaign is PSVR exclusive. That's exactly the kind of content I'd be interested in, instead of mods or multiplayer. Oh well, that's what happens with Early Access.

Very nice, though the custom songs probably make this a better pickup on PCVR.

Still, PSVR has been on a bit of a roll this year.

Cool, I'm interested, buuuut I'm gonna wait for impressions about the tracking quality first. The Move tracking in Superhot VR was pretty flaky in certain cases to point of affecting gameplay and anything like that for this kind of game would be a total killer. But I hope they got around that and my fears are abated.

The blog post made it pretty clear, song packs, no downloadable user made songs.
Shit, no buy for me.

For those worried about tracking: have you guys played with the move at all?
The problems come from staying still, and this game seems everything but. And even those problems can be eliminated by a quick reset.
The boxes are also huge, and if the moves fucks up in tracking, it's only for a few centimeters.

No custom songs is a bummer obviously but loads of PSVR exclusive content here. Looking forward to double dipping.
