I initially loved it when I got stuff like Rez Infinite, Resi Evil 7, Dirt Rally VR, Astro Bot and Beat Saber, but I sort of lost interest after a while. Too much of a hassle to set up, I guess. The simple, one-cable setup of PSVR2 should remedy that to a certain extent, though I'm still a little disappointed at no wireless.

Oh man going back to the old MGS games are hilariously difficult, can't believe I tolerated it at the time in hindsight.
Yeah I barely play mine now, not so much due to the setup because mine has always been setup so it's pretty much plug and play. I'm just ready for the next generation of PSVR now, better graphics, more polished games, lighter potentially more comfortable headset. The only things that get me to load up PSVR1 now is if the kids want a go or I want to do some cardio, also Song in the Smoke intices me in from time to time.
I've got an Oculus as well which I much prefer but the psvr still gets an outing for Wipeout.
Wipeout is bliss! One of the best VR games.... thanks for reminding about it!
The right trigger on one of my controllers has lost all resistance. I’m guessing it needs to be repaired?
Anyone know the phone number I need to call? I can’t find it anywhere and the website just sends me in a fecking loop cause apparently my controller serial number is not recognised.

I think GameStop does controller repairs.
Buy a new one from Argos. Switch the controllers. Return and refund.
Did you ever play the Apollo 11 VR game / experience? That was one of my favourite VR experiences. Very cool even if your own input was minimal. I hope to be able to play that again on PSVR2
I didn't get around to it but I wanted it, I'll keep an eye out for a sale on it.
Here is my review of Spiderman (remastered)
It was mostly a dam good time!
The one thing Insomniac needed to nail - the swinging through the city, was the one thing that they hit a home run with.
The traversal through the city reminded me in some ways of another Insomniac game - Sunset Overdrive. Like that game, this one took a little while for me to warm to and get to grips with the movement.
I'm not a comic book guy but the story was engaging enough to keep me interested all the way through. Apart from Aunt May dying it was very predictable fare, though.
The combat was serviceable. I liked that they tried to encourage you to fight in the air. That's another Sunset Overdrive similarity. The combat was clearly inspired by the Batman games, but by and large, I thought that it was outclassed by them. One issue big issue I had with the combat was the suit powers. There were plenty of options to use but I just found myself using the 'more focus' power all the time. It seemed OP.
Speaking of suits there is a ridiculous amount to unlock. Some of them are great looking too.
I found the game to be on the easy side, which is saying a lot because I'm bad at games.
Also, the game definitely has too much going on. One of those games with a million things to do but little outside of the main story was interesting to me. I'll be interested if they fixed this with Miles Morales.
The remastered version on PS5 looks great and plays at a solid 60.
Overall, I really enjoyed my time with this, flaws and all. If I'm bored enough, I might even go for the platinum trophy.
8/10

It’s not 100% perfectly executed but as someone who loves space and space travel, boarding the rocket with Buzz and Neil and looking around the cabin and out of the windows during launch was as close as I’ll get to the real thing
Good review, glad you enjoyed it. It’s a pretty easy platinum so could be worth going for if you can be bothered. Miles is definitely more of the same but with some fun refinement in certain areas. The combat for example is more fun in Miles.
They do. It's a shorter game, and much more focused. There's less padding and those dumb puzzles are gone. I think it may be the better game, actually.
In some ways yes, but the story overall was far less engaging to me than the original. Miles lacks the charm of Peter for me.
Remember when I posted about how stupid it is to buy the digital PS5 and not get the disc one. Well, I'm stupid because that's what I did and now I regret not having a disc
I want to get Miles Morales but the digital price is a joke compared to the used disc version.
In the future, I should listen to myself. I give good advice.

I bought the disc version but I almost never get physical games because I can't be arsed to go into town.Remember when I posted about how stupid it is to buy the digital PS5 and not get the disc one. Well, I'm stupid because that's what I did and now I regret not having a disc

MM is going to be included in the new PS plus premium membership. You'll also get returnal and a whole bunch of other games. Just need to wait a couple of months and pay the £45 upgrade fee.Remember when I posted about how stupid it is to buy the digital PS5 and not get the disc one.

They'll be on the Extra tier which doesn't cost as much as Premium. Premium is for PS3 and earlier.
Same.
You two should swap then...
Ah okay - point largely still stands but even cheaper
Have you ever heard of at home delivery?
Yeah but I usually download on a whim. Especially since covid I wait until a game has been out a whilst since they’re often buggy as shit.
I like discs because not only do they tend to be cheaper, especially if you wait, but I can then sell them on when finished. It's very seldom would I ever play through a story driven game more than once.
That's a good point, I forgot that the new streaming thing is coming. Hopefully, it shows up there.
It will.

Just not clear what version it will be. Will be pleasantly surprised if it is the PS5 version.
I thought it was already confirmed it'd be the PS5 version, and it'll be downloadable - not just streamable, right?
Would be surprised if it wasn't.

Extra tier = downloadable only
Premium tier = downloadable and streamable (streamable only for PS4 games and earlier)
Not heard it confirmed it is the PS5 version but there'll definitely be some PS5 games on there given Returnal is only available there.
Unless I missed it, they still haven't confirmed what PS1/PS2/PSP games will be available on the highest tier yet, have they? Which seems a bit bizarre. Difficult to assess the value of this service without that vital piece information.
Streaming has been hit and miss when I've tried it on Xbox. I would not want to play a game I'm really excited about that way.

An all time great. 2 of my 3 favourite Star Wars characters are in this game.
Platinum Shadow of War. 35th Platinum! Fecking brilliant game. By god it was grindy though for the end of it. Ironically I'm Now onto Shadow of the Colossus. Finish it this time.
Got Trek to Yomi today. The combat is a bit limited so far but the visuals and atmosphere are brilliant. A much better delivered samurai story than GOT.
I'm excited about what could happen but I hope they're actually the games I want to replay. Apparently these 5 have been leaked:
- Tekken 2 – PS1
- Mr Driller – PS1
- Worms World Party – PS1
- Worms Armageddon – PS1
- Ridge Racers 2 – PSP
£27 to fix my controller apparently. Even though it's only the R2 button that's lost a bit of resistance. I'm sure it's just a spring that needs adjusting but I don't know enough to do it myself.
Happened to me. Bought one from a shop, put my broken one in the box and returned it to the shop saying it was faulty.
I'm too good a person to do that.
Honest Sol.I'm too good a person to do that.
Sounds like a coming of age film from the early 90s.
