Sony PlayStation VR review

There's a lot riding on PlayStation VR as the mainstream champion of virtual reality. Though it arrived half a year later than the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive , the fact there were already almost 50 million PS4 consoles in people's living room (and now just over that number) meant it had a distinct...

Works so much better than I expected

This is hands down one of the best purchases I've made for my PS4. It is a bit pricey especially when you factor in the costs of the camera and move controllers but if you're on the fence about purchasing this then I say do it.

Sony PlayStation VR Review

The Sony PlayStation VR headset brings powerful, compelling virtual reality, with motion control support, to the PlayStation 4. Sony's virtual reality system, the PlayStation VR, is designed for use with the PlayStation 4 or PS4 Pro. It's a powerful accessory that lags only a hair behind the PC-powered HTC Vive and Oculus Rift in specs, and is far less expensive, especially when you put the required PS4 up against the pricier VR-ready PCs the Vive and Rift require.

It looks like 2016 is living up to its billing as the "year of virtual reality," with products at the high end (HTC Vive and Oculus Rift) and in the mobile arena (Samsung Gear VR, Google Cardboard, Google Daydream) offering VR options across the spectrum.

Sony's take on virtual reality has resulted in an incredibly effective device, yet design concessions made for a mass-market price hold it back from achieving its true potential. The biggest problem with analyzing a piece of emerging technology can be found in the unfortunate fact that none of us...

PlayStation VR review – if this is the future of virtual reality, sign me up

PS4, Sony; out 13 October For all the hype around virtual reality's renaissance, the currently available hardware options offer polarised entry points to embracing the medium. There are the high-end options such as Oculus Rift , which requires a costly, monstrously powerful PC.

Sony PlayStation VR review

Without these niggles it would still be hard to give the PlayStation VR five stars, but then, we're yet to give any virtual reality headset a five-star rating. It's just too early and there are too few truly killer, long-lasting games for us to not have some reservations, despite the fact that VR,...
