PlayStation VR Impressions Pax East 2016 | Gamerheadquarters

PlayStation VR impressions at Pax East 2016 while playing the rhythm based game Thumper. The impressions go over the design, feeling and atmosphere that this PlayStation Virtual Reality unit provided.

Sounds great! No noticeable lag, still comfortable, and very immersive. Well done, Sony.

Even more impressive: this is not even PS VR's final form.

I did see a video where a game on PSVR had very noticeable lag. But the PS4K or Neo will help with this.

How long ago was that?

This is a very recent impression.

[BossBattle]

Probably like 2 months ago max. There was a lady testing the vive vs psvr. The psvr had way more input lag than the vive on the same game. That's why I wouldn't buy the PSVR without getting a PS4K first.

Most of what I have heard is comparisons to the other vr devices. When comparing it to itself most people don't notice much of a difference. When people compare them to other vr devices there is a bit of a difference.

Didn't hear that but to be honest I'd expect there to be some sort of a difference. Vive does cost about double the psvr after all and runs on stronger hardware so I think vive performing better in places is a given. Seems though people who just play psvr don't notice the lag so that's a good thing there.

BossBattle,

It sounds like you're looking at an isolated experience. Was this journalist from a pro or anti-Sony website? The general impression since earlier revisions seems to be that everyone loves it. I myself have yet to see ANY bad impressions. Then again, to be fair, I'm not looking for them.

There is no perceivable lag using the PSVR. If there was then everyone would puke their guts out.

What some are seeing is the delay from what is happening on the TV. And that is in no way representing latency inside the VR headset.

I tried it at Rezzed.., and loved how silky smooth the experience was.
You can hardly feel the weight of the device... and I am fairly certain, you can use it for hours without headaches.
