PlayStation VR review
PlayStation VR is an affordable introduction to quality VR. Many of the experiences aren't as crisp as the ones found on the Oculus Rift or HTC Vive, but, for a system that uses a PS4 instead of an expensive PC gaming rig, we're not complaining. Plus, a recent price reduction makes it even more appealing.- Affordable
- Near PC-quality performance
- Good selection of games
- Doesn't come with required accessories
- Poor job sealing out light
- Spotty motion controller tracking
i love it
this is definitely the future of gaming i recommend buying right now.....well what are you waiting for go buy it now
The world of virtual reality is here and, when you combine that with gaming, you've got an experience that will truly carry you away. We will look back on the release of the PlayStation VR as the time when gaming underwent one of the biggest changes the industry has ever seen.
- Stunning VR quality
- impressive image quality
- comfortable
- Not a standalone product - you need a PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Camera
"Un******* Believable"
Gaming has just opened a window to a new horizon for gamers. Sitting in my arm chair, with the headset on playing the demo disc for VR World. I decided to take the underwater tour.
PlayStation VR review: Virtual reality goes mainstream with Sony's brilliant new gaming gadget
If you're interested in the whirlwind virtual reality trend that's currently taking the technology industry by storm, then PlayStation VR should be top of your list.
Excellent piece of kit
Great piece of kit that can change gaming forever. If you're new to VR you will never have experienced anything like it, and it's one of those things you should definitely experience at least once. The only issue is that many will experience motion sickness.
PlayStation VR
Sony has joined virtual reality gaming with PlayStation VR. The headset represents the cheapest of the "big three" on the market right now, and is the only option for console gamers interested in the technology as things stand.- Amazing games already available
- Simple setup
- Movies look great in the headset
- Comfortable to wear even with glasses
- Better value than Oculus and Vive
- Processor unit needs to be unplugged to power down
- PS4 console desperately needs another USB port to charge all the controllers
- PlayStation Camera still fiddly
Despite the cable nightmare, the lower-resolution screen and expensive games catalogue, I couldn't recommend picking up PlayStation VR more. It's an absolute blast and, if you can afford the £350 price tag, a must-buy for any avid PS4 fan and gamer.
