PlayStation VR: All the News, Details, Specs, and Reaction

Any one know if Sony is making a VR 1.5? Why would I buy this if something better is a year or two away?

Does anyone know if its using the PS3 Move controller or is there going to be a new one made for this?

I think the lobby should try a different method of showing the crew the Camera Angle/Picture. It looks very unprofessional when they continuously look away to check it.

Just my 5 cents, Keep up the good work, shows cool. :)

Hey what is that huge advertisial pic on front page about? 1 person using VR with a sofa full of people playing from tv? They really want to tell us that VR is somehow ultra-social experience?

When you have 36 million units out there this will sell and sell a lot. Once there's a game I want play on it I'll buy it. It's not just Sony investing in various it's many companies and universities in a wide range of fields. Comparisons to Move or Kinect are silly.

I'm just disappointed that it doesn't come with the camera (no my PS4 did not come with one), so the $400 "value" seems deceptive. But honestly, if developers make worthwhile games I'll pay it. That's all there is to it. Give me some killer apps and I'll hop on the VR bandwagon.

You guys talk about how Sony drops support on everything... Seriously? The Move and camera haven't ever been dropped from support, developers just didn't use those products as a main point of many games (not unlike Kinect), the PS phone we can all agree needed to go, the PSP is over TEN YEARS OLD, the Vita still has a ton of 3rd party support and is regularly updated - hardly unsupported, PS TV is a niche product only really for people who wanted to stream from other parts of their house, and 3D isn't something people developed FOR it's just an option developers can choose to mess with, and most blu ray movies come in 3D versions as 3D movies are still HUGE so don't give me that BS. You really expect any company to support the same product for many years, especially when nobody's using it? Sony didn't "give up" on Vita because they were lazy and hate their customers, they seized 1st party full development on games because it was a waste of resources that could go into something more people enjoy, since the Vita "failed" only because the competition is heavily owned by Apple/Android and Nintendo. It's called trimming the fat, Sony does it, MS does it, Apple does it (RIP iPod classic!), Samsung does it. Get over it, VR isn't just a little trinkydink toy you mess around with for a couple hours then get bored, it's an entirely new way of experiencing media and unless you've used VR first hard it's pretty difficult to grasp what that really means. There's TONS of money from the biggest companies in the game pouring support into VR, no it won't sell tens of millions week one like everyone here says it needs to, yes it's relatively "expensive" if you don't have the best source of income, but this is the first generation of actual VR headsets, it needs to grow like any console, phone, television, automobile, etc. You absolutely have the right to be skeptical, and if you don't want to be a day one buy, that's probably the smarter choice, but comparing something like VR in general (Vive, Oculus, even PSVR) to something like PSP or the PS phone is absolutely asinine. I say give it at least 4-5 years to grow, if it doesn't go anywhere and people hate it then I'm wrong simply put, but we won't know until then.

Leaning towards none of them.

@retron57: I would compare it more with 3D gaming, like what the 3DS and PS3 supported. I'm sure the same people itching for unnecessary gaming tech will jump on this like no-ones buisness.

Motion controls however, like touch screens changes the fundamentals. Though currently inferior to a decent gamepad, at least they change the gameplay.

Whether as 3D and VR only actually change your perspective on the game. Giving you visual-superficial changes.

I'd estimate 5% the PlayStation 4 fanbase will get VR. Ultimately it will likely be a flop. Mostly guessing this, as noone I know is taking VR seriously, and rightfully so. It's a wasteful gimmick, and a pricy one.

@retron57: Absolutely. Save your money for a better tv or some games.

This could be the next evolution of gaming or just an expensive peripheral

I see potential it will be very immersive, should be a great experience I can't wait to play a good horror game with vr

I think that this is too much for PS owners and consequently that means failure for the product. A peripheral that costs more than the console is no good thing. Only really good software can save this from obscurity now.

Sony will stop support for this faster then you can say PlayStation move this thing will get support for 1 or 2 years Max and most the games will suck

People complain about remasters now...Just wait, if VR is successful, remasters of ps1, ps2, ps3, ps4...all in VR and pay all over again...
