nDreams on PS VR: It's a Great VR Entry Point at a Compelling Price; PS4 Pro Can Make a Difference

WCCFtech talked with nDreams' Game Director Jamie Whitworth on PlayStation VR, the impact that PlayStation 4 Pro can have on it and their launch game The Assembly.

Going to see how my regular PS4 handles VR before taking the plunge into Pro

[KaiPow]

Agreed. That 'higher fidelity' might get rid of that screen door effect on the current console.. I hope.

[Imp0ssibl3]

I think I'll just wait for the Pro and then buy both. It's clear to me that original PS4 isn't as powerful as needed to run high quality VR.

[S2Killinit]

Its great on Standard PS4 as is, Im sure the Pro will make all the difference if graphics are important to you.

[Goldby]

Screen door effect has to do with the screen not the console/pc running it. And psvr has the least amount due to its RGB sub pixel set up

[Neonridr]

yeah I have a Pro on order, so this will give me almost a month with my PSVR to determine if I really need the Pro or not. I don't have a 4K TV so the improvements over the standard PS4 for my regular games will be not as significant, but if the Pro can really help with PSVR then it's worth it to me.

[Aurenar]

I feel the same. Don't have 4K TV yet but I'll pick up PSVR soon and I want the best quality, so I might have to get the Pro too next month.

[G20WLY]

That being said, the Pro could make an arguably bigger difference at 1080p with either and increased framerate, more effects, higher textures or a combination thereof. A 4k TV would only really be required for a 4k - or otherwise increased resolution - which is just one option on some games, so you get to choose your preference.

[Neonridr]

@G20WLY - Oh absolutely. If devs give us an option to run at least at 1080p / 60fps for non 4K TV owners that in itself would be a worthwhile investment.

[ninsigma]

It actually handles it really well! Believe it or not it works! I'll be getting the pro next month so it will be even better but certainly, I'm impressed with what they've done with the og ps4.

[Frisky]

Hell yes it can. I can't wait to play open world in VR.

[codelyoko]

Makes sense. PS4 Pro is technically a completely different console with dat Polaris based GPU.
