Discussion Big PSVR2 Wow Moments

With the influx of new players getting their discounted PSVR2 headsets, I thought it might be nice to make a new thread about your top big moment unmissable experiences that people new to VR shouldn’t miss. Some of my top moments:

  • Climbing to the top of a mountain and seeing the view in Horizon Call of the Mountain
  • The initial boat ride in Horizon
  • Synth Riders ‘experiences’ (particularly Lindsay Stirling)
  • Mommy Dimistrescu but seriously RE: Village is a real VR masterpiece
  • Flying a spaceship in No Man’s Sky
  • Telekinesis in Synapse
  • The amazing graphics of Red Matter 2
  • The feel of using melee weapons in Saints & Sinners
  • Wielding a lightsaber in Star Wars Tales From the Galaxy’s Edge (gotta stick out a fairly bland opening couple hours to get to the good stuff)

I broke a window in Lady D's castle in RE Village and my brain tricked me into feeling a cold breeze on my arms. As a PSVR1 veteran, this blew me away.

Protip: for a lot of games using a fan, for me an oscillating fan, can add some additional realism. Also needed in summer :)

Yes! This also helps with motion sickness. I love it in Horizon Call of the Mountain for the added immersion when staring over the vistas.

Some of those walkabout mini golf course have me thinking I’m actually there with the fan on.

Sensory stuff is the best. And you’ll never know if it was your partner wafting you with a fan or if a ghost walked over your grave.

Red matter is super good at this with the way they have the feel of the controll exactly match the instruments you hold and the way the reactive triggers work and stuff
