ds4 is a fast and efficient way to play, Moves might bring immersion and some dual-wielding fun but for just getting it done especially in long sessions ds4 wins.
Yeah I'm playing with the DS4 and enjoying it tbh.
Hoping that they fix the audio mix somewhere along the line. Do we know what the Pro enhancements are btw just supersampling?
Decided to try out the move controllers tonight. Man, what a difference. Played for 2 hours straight. Didn't even realize as i was too focused on playing, hah. Almost zero motion sickness, which is unheard of for me. I'm using the teleport to move. It works great for exploration, but when combat gets hectic, it's tough to get properly situated, especially using a bow.
Pretty stoked that I'm going to actually get to play this without feeling like shit for hours after.

Fair enough.
Remember Moves are also less likely to induce motion sickness.
Given it's current state a 5.1 would probably be better, IF they patch in 3D audio then headset all the way (wired in)
Its VR baby in real life you have to look down :p

Has this happened to anyone yet?
I had around a 4 hours session (and many more hours previously) yesterday playing with the Moves, and I woke up with sore shoulders lol. Now, I'm a fairly fit guy and do garage door repair for a living...wtf! So to add to how awesome playing with move controllers is, they will definitely providing a low level quality workout from my experience haha :)
This game in VR.....

I was wondering if this might happen lol, guess it will depend how long at a time I play though, also game hasn't shipped my next day order yet :( and now sold out again the UK deal seems to be doing well on there site, so hoping I get it tomorrow (should of been today) and haven't run out of stock yet (though if they have I hope I get the newer headset version instead).
I'm not sure whether to invest in move controllers or not?! I feel like i'm missing out! Especially now that it seems people are getting a workout from using them haha.
I stand and use the Move controllers. It's the most immersive experience IMO and that's the primary reason I am playing this game.
The 1 to 1 mapping on weapons trips me out every time I play. It never fails to distract me the first 30 seconds I log on to play lol.

Many games on PSVR require move controllers. You're missing out on like half the catalogue without them.
But besides that, having hands in VR is like VRx2.
Haha yeah I only got the Skyrim Bundle yesterday and wasn't planning on getting the move controllers for a while but just hearing the good stuff from this thread is tipping me over the edge!
I'm finding myself doing a lot of conjuring lately.
On my right hand I mapped "bound sword" and on my left "conjure familiar".
So with my left hand I just keep making ghost wolves appear that then attack my target. If it dies I immediately spawn another to keep the target busy. While at the same time I fight off any enemies that get close with my sword made of pure energy.
It's great!

As said above me, you need to get the PS4 camera. I just bought one used on ebay for $22 shipped. The seller currently has more in stock and has solid history.
I went full on conjuring my first ever play through of Skyrim. End game you can destroy small armies. Lol
PS3 camera will not work you need the newer PS4 model with twin cameras. It has it's own port in the back on the PS4 so no loss of USB port.
£28.48 on Amazon Warehouse at the moment for the new revision.
I went with the heavy hitters dremora at start and then each antronach however you spell it as you level up.
Your goal is to reach the dual summons skill I think it's called twin soul and a master conjure which permanently conjures a summon.
You won't even have to lift a finger at that point.

This never occurred to m. Sounds awesome. I'll be trying this out for sure!
The offers seem to be all regions tbh, I'd imagine Sweden should have similar as well, already here in the UK at £250 for VR Headset/Camera/Skyrim and VR Worlds
Quite the deep end if this is the first game you play, certainly make sure you take some breaks if you start feeling a bit queasy. Enjoy though and don't forget to download the free things like Playroom VR and the Demo discs 1/2, RecRoom etc

I'm kind of jealous this was not my first VR experience. Actually, my first VR was Rush of Blood and that was and remains an amazing experience
Make sure you get the Move controllers! Lots of VR games use them to great effect.
Based on your avatar, actually hell, anyone with PSVR, make sure you dont miss Batman Arkham VR.
I have put hundreds of hours into skyrim... And never once tried Magic, I've always been a ranger. VR sounds like the perfect opportunity to start. How do I start? Ive never mapped spells, dunno where to find them or anything.
The bundle comes with two move controllers, so I'm good there. I can't wait to try Rush of Blood too. I was glad it was a PS+ title last month.
Yeah I'm a huge Batman fan, so I plan to pick that up eventually. Maybe it will be on sale for Black Friday somewhere.
So I don't know if this is game breaking or cheating. Never played Skyrim before. In certain dungeons, there will be a switch behind an area that has some slits where you can see it but can't get to it because you have to find another way around. I just equip a long sword and slide my hand "into" in through the graphics to flip the switch. It's a case of realism and cheating in my book. I'm assuming you wouldn't have been able to do that in the standard game yes? This game is fucking amazing!
I think most people in this thread have already bought the game, but just in case anyone's interested, I did a video review:
I had my fan while playing. I walked through dripplets of water dropping from a cave ceiling. My brain got totally fooled (from the fan), I swear I felt drop of water on my face. This is what VR is about, Immersion.
I'm still so skeptical that this works: can you really go hours playing this without feeling nauseous? The characters don't look super dated when they're right in your face?
I thought RE7 was the right kind of length for a major VR game, but I can scarecely imagine putting 200 hours into this, expansions and all.
(also what's the cheapest way to get this currently?)

All depends on how well you handle VR.
Skyrim is pretty chill so unlike RE7 where you are on edge or Dirt Rally that requires 100% of your focus it is much easier to stay in for long periods of time.
Even with Move controllers?
I'm curious how the setup is like if you're going Move + sitting down. I would never want to stand up so long for a game like this, so it would be entirely in a chair.
Also wondering how it handles the issue where close objects will shift in and out (forgot what it's called, it's the thing Giant Bomb complains about the most regarding PSVR).
And when is that PSVR revision supposed to come out? I would love to not have to switch the cables around constantly (due to losing HDR): any trade-in deals with that?
I don't know about sitting down. I play standing for better immersion. I've played the last 3 days straight for about 8 hours straight (with small breaks for food etc) and I don't get any nausea or soreness. But maybe that's just me.
Are you talking about things right up in your face being sorta hard to focus on? I think Skyrim has the least amount of that out of any game I've played. Nothing is ever super close to your face really.
PSVR revision is the one included in the Skyrim bundle. Newer moves too.
If you're talking about turning your character's body then no, I don't think so. Obviously you can turn your head to look behind you at any time without hitting a button.
