Was gonna make a VR thread since I recently took advantage of the sales (PSVR bundles and PSVR games all on sale atm). Guess i'll just use this.
First, to answer your year old question, you play regular games in cinematic mode. Inside the headset, a giant movie theatre looking screen appears. Its pretty awesome, but you take a hit graphically.
Any gamers with a nice tax return, take advantage of the sales!!!!! Cant wait to have time this weekend, but the few hours ive had so far are AMAZING!!! And I haven't even played some of the more popular games like Skyrim or Superhot or Farpoint yet. Only a few hours spent playing Demo discs, I Expect You To Die (playing this is what really blew my mind with VR), Rec Room (extremely fun but was having a bit of problem calibrating the move controllers. Gotta fix that), and Resident Evil.
Again, this is well worth the money with the sales going on. Extremely awesome and I can already tell its going to be hard to play flat games with the experiences VR offers. Will report back to thread after playing the other 6-8 games I bought on sale. Skyrim tomorrow!!!
