@bouzebbal Last I heard Cerny isn't actually employed by Sony, he is a self-employed consultant. As such I doubt he has a hard time convincing his boss to allow him to do anything.
I'm on the Rift at the moment, but definitely feeling the urge to get up and walk around so I can see why the Vive is so popular. Touch controllers and extra sensor next week should see Rift catch up there.
If you're ok waiting a little longer you may want to hold off til January to see what HTC show off at CES.
Gaming used to be my favourite form of entertainment. Now it's VR.
That's not to say traditional gaming is dead to me. It's just been relegated to the same kind of place as movies and such. I can still enjoy a good movie, I can still enjoy a good game, but VR is the best thing ever.
I foresee an expensive few years ahead of me as the tech matures :)
Better to see your hands if they can be tracked down to what you are doing with your fingers. Seeing hands that aren't actually mimicing what your hands are doing is a bit disconcerting, which is why most games show a representation of the controller you are holding instead.
Quite a few Oculus Touch games go with hands, as it can do a reasonable job of approximating where your fingers are.
There have been a few articles on LG and Sony TV connection problems that have been dismissed as non-gaming tech news.

It just seems disingenius to me to hide news that might actually be useful to people thinking about buying a PS4 Pro and/or a new TV for one.
I'm not trying...
So why do the mods let this story up, but fail the ones about PS4 Pro and Sony TVs?
Revolution? Quake to mordern day COD?
I'd call that a regression, or perhaps a tragedy.
How did you fare with motion sickness?
The first ever UK showing? It's been available on Steam for quite a while lol
Looks like a great game too, can't wait to try it with rift :)
Who cares if some of the issues can be levelled at other VR headsets? Does the article claim to be a comparison piece?
Had a bit of a play around. VR.... is the best thing ever.
People need an excuse if they don't like things you like?
That's gonna be tough since you notoriously love everything with Sony branding :-/
Bought my Rift today, and it came with a £100 voucher that will be going on the touch controllers. I've also got a pretty decent size room built specially for the occassion. Can't wait to take it to room scale :)
If you thought the Rift screen was bad you probably won't want to touch the Vive. It's brighter and a little wider, but it has more noticable screen door and a smaller area you can actually focus on.
Upgrades next year work for and against the Vive. The new controllers look very comparible to the Touch and may well be the best of the bunch when they come out, but given the display issues I mentioned above that would mean I'd spend £660 on a Vive and replace...
What did you try it out with? Did you find it more comfortable than the Vive wands?
I'm on the verge of buying a Rift or Vive, and Rift is in the lead at the moment but Vive is quite tempting at £100 off this weekend...
@YeahOK I wouldn't rule out Microsoft releasing Minecraft for PSVR.
With a couple of exceptions. Most notably Google's software hardware checks that it is being played on a Vive.
For sure, you'd essentially be swinging a baseball bat around blindfolded. No doubt that it would be a recipe for disaster. It'd still be cool in the right circumstances though.
If only you could bring a product to market and somehow bar stupid or irresponsible people from buying!
I'd be surprised if they didn't, it's a fairly obvious fit. What would be cool is if they released a properly weighted bat peripheral, maybe with a punchy motor in the grip to simulate a hit.
If they called it Pro or Elite then what would they call the next iteration 3 years later?
