Just completed it, good game in it's own right but not to my taste personally. Here's waiting on the RE2 remake for me.

I will wait a bit for it to go down in price as I still have to complete Dishonored 2, Watch Dogs 2 and Final Fantasy XV but it looks very promising. Oh, and I will have to get Yakuza 0 first anyway.

On console? Bastards won't release it on PC until 5AM because they are pandering to the bloody yanks!
Yeah. I was sat in work in all day itching to get back to it, was glad when it started raining so I could make an excuse to play it instead of going running. No doubt I'll play for 5 minutes, shit myself and then want to turn it off. I spent way too much time last night checking behind myself before entering doors.

Hardly anyone I know has bought it, they were all excited but are now making excuses. I think people are scared.

That was quick! How long did it take? I'm not forking out 60 euro for it if it only lasts a few hours

Yeah I got my copy early!

It took me about 14/15 hours, I did get stuck a bit though. I've seen other people have done it in 10 hours or less.

Bought it for my mrs, but tempted to wait to play it myself and get PSVR when it's restocked over here now comparison videos are out and the VR version does seem to take advantage of the pro.

Why the PSVR and not the OR? (I'm well out of touch...).

I'll prpbably get OR eventually, but my mrs has the pro already and wants VR plus I believe the PS4 version has VR exclusivity for a year or so. Also I'm still waiting to see with PC VR which one will win out in the longer run.

On that subject, I'm not overly impressed with the graphics. I wonder if they were slightly held back so the VR version isn't as noticeably worse on the PS4? Also the fov is shocking, it seems some developers will never learn!

Yeah, I've read in a couple of places that the VR version doesn't look as good as the standard one. Shame that. Suppose it'll take time before its(VR) potential is fully realised.

Seriously. feck this game. :lol:

I just met Daddy and we bonded with a very eventful car drive
Funny as it was, I thought that bit was incredibly amateurish with the physics, animations and all that.

Still couldn't stop laughing though :lol:


(btw this game really isn't very scary so far, though my mrs isn't far past that point so I'm still hoping)

That's because you only take on kids!

But nah, I was expecting more from the reviews and so far it's all been there done that. Not that it's bad, it's just a bit meh so far. It's making me seriously consider slapping a pre-order on psvr just to experience it properly and try to get more into it though ;)

I dunno, I'm kind of put off by the way they are downgrading quality so the difference isn't quite so noticeable. You know that kind of thing bugs me :lol: Plus, I don't trust Sony's long term interest in it. Ugh, decisions.

At the same time, I kind of just want to put on a headset and play something easy to start you know? I'm not sure I'm a fan of the PC set-ups on offer, especially if older games aren't modded to make it worth it.


Sometimes I honestly just wish I was like Randall and loved shiny and simple things :(

I think it's something that Sony aren't going to pull out of. I know for example that Cryengine are investing (way too much) into VR. Personally, i'll probably wait for 2nd generation before going for it, but I can understand why some people would want to buy it now. I'm tempted.

Pull out of? No. However, support fully? We know how the likes of Cell and EE went, let alone Move.

But still. If Valve were still the same people that they originally were, there's only one option. But since they aren't, and the OR brings a good game but lacks on the future, I'm not convinced. As for Crytek, they sold out. Or like what happened with Rare, at least the guys at the top did. Hell, let'a throw Levine's name in that little mix for fun. It's no wonder they jump on a new technology that maybe we should all be wary of, I'm kind of both smug and desperately sad at how the industry already went full trump before politics did. Show, no go.


Still...I guess I'm more sucker than cynic and might actually go for it :lol:

Went round to a friends house to help set up his VR and had a little dabble with this game while there. Absolute shit myself at one point :lol: The VR did make me feel seas sick though, which I hope you adapt to because I can't wait to get VR when it comes for the xbox, but anyway, one thing I noticed, and he asked if I could find out for him is, with the VR, when you move with your right analogue stick, it's not smooth and move of a rigid turn, is that normal with VR?

I made my first girlish squeak tonight and physically tried to duck. It's a bit trial and error, which is kind of annoying. Other than that I'm quite liking it.

Played for an hour or so, even though I d played the demo it scared the shit out of me. I don't think I could play it in VR. Looking forward to another hour or so tomorrow night

These are anti-motion-sickness features. You can turn them off in some games.

I started yesterday evening, finding it a thoroughly unpleasant experience to be honest :lol:

I'm in the second house, man on fire tried to run me over in a car, I've just watched the second video of running away from some old moose, and am now looking for some pieces of a cerbresus head to open a door.

Does this game open up a bit? I'm finding it hard to deal with in this house

I was thinking this the other day. I tried the demo and found it well creepy but now I want to play it in VR.... more thought passed and I came to the conclusion that my plan is not going to be fun, it's just going to be terrifying, but I am purposely putting myself in a position I will not like :lol: Evolution.

Started playing last night (with VR). How do I say...legal torture? It's verging on not being fun. Capcom have done a cracking job implementing VR into the entire game.

Out of interest, I played it for around 2 minutes without VR and frankly it felt naff.

Yeah I gotta be honest, it's pretty spectacular in VR.

Now if you play it like me, you'll spend at least 2 hours before you even get to the end of the first bit, but I wanted to check out every nook and cranny to see just how far they went with the texturing and design. You also notice so much more you'll never see playing it on a t.v. Also play it standing up so you can fully spin around (feck that 30degree stuff) and you'll beable to lean over walls and behind stuff, like the first screen where you load the game, looking around that room is fantastic alone. The only thing I don't like is the crouching and cut scenes throw you off a bit.


Consider me impressed. I'd highly recommend it, the only downer is whether or not Sony will be supporting vr fully.

I've been told by the mrs to add that I squealed like a little girl when I first encountered the cockroaches in the kitchen, and I stubbed my toe on a table pretty badly giving Mia a victory kick on the stomach after the first encounter :(

Oh and she may now have a blackmail video of me jogging on the spot whenever I run in the game, complete with nearly falling over the first time I went down the attic stairs doing that.


This sucks actually.

Good luck for later in the game. That's nothing. :lol:
