Just received my PSVR Doom Bundle today and played with Skyrim VR for a bit. My first impression is that this is really amazing technology, this was my first experience with VR and despite the lower video quality than some competitors the price is right running on a PS4 instead of a high end PC and the quality is still stunning when you are able to look all around you. The stereo sound and 360° view really allow you to become immersed in the game, and I found myself reaching out to try to touch things and boy did I jump when a dragon crashed down in front of me!
The setup was surprisingly easy, and I was able to play Skyrim with the dualshock controller at only 5 ft from the camera sitting in a recliner against the wall, so the space requirements are just for standing or games using the Move controllers.
Looking forward to using the headset in place of a TV for playing non-VR games, and looking forward to future titles for the PSVR! Have not had a chance to try out Doom VR yet but as a lover of the original and the remakes I'm looking forward to fighting the forces of hell in VR!
Update: Having now had a chance to try out Doom VR I'm simply amazed at how well this game is executed! I thought the teleportation would be silly but it's a brilliantly designed system. Using the dualshock controller and the controls feel absolutely perfect!
As a fan of the Doom series since playing the original on an old 486 laptop and playing the recent remake for ps4 I'm absolutely enthralled by how well the VR has been implemented and how perfectly it works into a first person shooter like this. The graphics are amazing and I find myself thinking twice before stepping off high ledges - that's true immersion. The first time you hit one of the vertical boosters and feel your stomach drop you will be in love with this game like me! The well-implemented teleportation system is just icing on the cake to make this an incredible VR experience that should not be missed!
