This is going to be a thing. This is going to be a very very big thing. I played the Eve Valkyrie demo with, to put it very lightly, some 6dof aspects and it was glorious. GLORIOUS. Specifically what happened was that in the first few seconds of moving my ship and doing derpy barrel roll stuff, I had the physical sensation of being disoriented. When you're rolling and not really looking where you're going only to suddenly stabilize your POV and you see you're about to crash into a capital ship and you hard roll away to avoid taking damage, you feel it. I had a strong physical sensation due to the immersion, and I am now figuratively drooling with anticipation to play Descent in VR. I'm in no rush to go out and get some hardware, but in a year or two or three, this is going to be very interesting to see what could potentially happen to the 6dof genre. A genre that in my opinion is truly the best way to fully utilize VR.

Agreed, have always suspected VR is the thing that will get me to leave D1

I always suspected VR would be the thing to get me to have sex with a computer.

haha

I think it'll take some getting used to for me, and even then the resolutions are possibly currently too low; I have an Oculus Rift which has a higher resolution than PSVR and still find distant objects difficult to make sense of. And I wish I had peripheral vision, too. Give it a few years and it should be great.

P.S. Which isn't to say Overload isn't pretty cool in VR - though it's one of the things I'd have to, um, harden up my stomach a bit more for. I can only handle maybe 15 minutes of that at the moment. I wasn't really making much use of the head-tracking either - natural inclination is just to look straight in front of me where the reticle is.
