Doom VFR |OT| Go to Virtual Hell!

Makes sense, but still awkward IMO. I do show in the video an encounter where I'm twisting round on the spot shooting a dude and it's just not quite right IMO.
All of the control options are adequate and the game is certainly very playable with any of them, but none of them feel like the game's been designed with them in mind.
To me, the grenade in one arm seems stupid. Obviously this works with the VIVE version but in all FPS games you never run around holding the bloody grenade in your other hand. If that's the only thing that makes the aim controls weird I'm OK with that.
Liked the Eurogamer stream, don't want to watch too much but shows off aim looking pretty smooth and also like they haven't toned down the frantic gameplay much at all for VR.
RE:Amazon, I usually don't pre-order from them...when a package is delivered beyond its estimate I usually complain and get something...what's the grounds when they don't deliver for release date?

I imagine brutal animations would fuck with the brains sense of position and cause nausea
So as an Oculus user, I would need to get the PSVR version, huh? The Aim controller support is cool I suppose.
Any word on how the Oculus Touch acts in the game?
But then again, there's always the possibility of mods (namely locomotion.) with the PC version. I'm kinda torn.

Wait for impressions from Oculus users. I'm hyped for the game, but don't trust them on the Oculus support so my purchase is on hold until I know more. Alone in regards to resolution and IQ I would go for the PC version.
I'll be purchasing the moment I see people on reddit and here saying that it works for them with an oculus (Reviews seem good so the issue i have with the length of the game is minor now). Will probably record some early gameplay of it too and post it here.

The PSVR version gets a 6/10. They are going to have another go with the Vive version and will update the article with Vive impression

can you give the HTC Vive version a try? While the PS Move lacks analog, there's a touchpad on the HTC Vive controller.
From the article:
Ouch if your VR shooter is best played with a controller, something went really wrong.
Yup, definitely picking this up now!
Not really, Resident Evil 7 is the best VR game ever made.
Haven't played RE7, waiting for the PCVR version so I can't comment on it. For me, it's the touch controllers that make the VR experience that more special and I would be disappointed if the normal controller would provide a better experience. My hopes are that the PC version will be better and support the Oculus touch controllers.

The whole thing about the locomotions for PSVR is rather confusion. I will try to make sense out of them:

http://www.pushsquare.com/news/2017...ee_psvr_controllers_but_none_feel_quite_right
Dual Shock 4
- smooth locomotion
- aiming with head
Move
- no increment turning
- no smooth locomotion, only teleport and dash
- only 180 turn
- dashing on move is on a face button
- grenade on left hand, gun on right hand
Aim
- smooth locomotion
- grenade 'randomly floating around' in your peripheral vision because PS Aim requires 2 hands

Very helpful video, thanks for sharing.
The Move option, apart from the grenade throwing, seems pretty terrible.
Yeah it's the downside of first gen. We have no standard controllers :P
I prefer thumbsticks for locomotion and that alone makes those VR games better :D unless I'm playing Job Simulator or Superhot where I don't need to move about.
Definitely sounds like dualshock is the way to go, which is a shame.
The RE7 color scheme was almost perfect as far as traditional controls go, but using the Move is such an inherently powerful level of immersion.
A from-the-ground-up redesign of VR controllers can't come soon enough.
Agree with you. Still, I'm impressed what the VR headsets on the PC delivered despite being the first gen. I think the rough launch really hurt the word of mouth on VR with all the delivery problems, headsets not working with different stores and other issues. But they figured a lot of it out and the experience we can have right now is really good.
Back to topic:
8 hours till it's available here. Guess it's a good thing I can't play VR till saturday night, so it's easier to hold off and wait for impressions.
RE7 is designed to be played with a controller, so it's unlikely it will have motion controls on PC. I would love it if they did go the extra mile to add them in as it would probably be patched into the PS4 version too but seems unlikely at this point, hopefully RE8 does have the option for motion controllers though.
Ah ok didn't know that, thanks! I'm surprised that it only has classic-controller support, everybody was praising it and I just assumed it would have motion controls.
Anyone else order physically from Amazon and not have a ship date yet? Too bad, looks like it's not coming tomorrow.
Don't let it put you off though, it still very much deserves all the praise it gets.
It is definitely Doom VFR under Steam, I have it preloaded already, ready for 6 PM today.
I don't have any VR devices, but I just wanted to say that the cover and font used for "VFR" is really awesome. Reminds me of a PC big box release from the 90s.
Dammit Skyrim VR got me interested in VR again after not thinking about or touching my PSVR at all this year aside from a bit of Polybius...
But now I feel like I need to stop being a luddite and get a PC with WMR or Vive instead of continuing to buy PSVR stuff :/ The thought of problems like "Superhot makes me turn like 30° to the right to center my view" being non-existent is really enticing.

Definitely Vive/Rift instead of WMR if tracking problems are what's motivating you to go PCVR. WMR is not designed to have good tracking at all times.
Don't think we will know until it goes live for everyone in a few hours. All the reviews/impressions that I've seen have been for the PSVR version.
Ahhh gotcha, thanks! I thought it was live already. Can't wait and hoping for the best with Oculus support
Have you tried elevating your camera and having it further back (on a wall maybe?)
I've had the same problems with my PSVR and just that one small adjustment made a world of a difference for me. I can now rotate a good 90 degree angle and then some with no issues.
This is a shame, as a selling point for me is Aim support as I want more games with the option. The Aim just feels pleasant to hold, but I haven't used it outside of Farpoint. I suppose I'll wait for a patch to see if they improve Aim controls.
Get Moves for Superhot. Superhot is by far the best thing to play in VR ATM, and it does not support the Dualshock. Rec Room is awesome as well, and free. As for the Aim, I'm skeptical how much support we'll see going forward. Farpoint is the only meaty experience for it, though I've heard OK things about Arizona Sunshine post patch.
