The Space-flight sim I've had the pleasure of playing for years on PC is finally coming to PS4! It also sound like they're taking advantage of all the Dualshock 4's touchpad/motion capabilities (which is great, because this game uses a LOT of keyboard shortcuts on PC)

Xbox feels so desolate compared to PC... :(

I got to play this at a friend's house a few weeks ago with an HTC Vive and a HOTAS. Holy shit, nothing else even comes close to being that cool. I only screwed around for about ten minutes, but it was absolutely incredible. I'm not sure how into the actual game I'd be (though I'll certainly look into it when it hits PS4), but playing it in VR is amazing in a way that I didn't know was possible.

PSVR support would be amazing, but I don't see it happening considering how bad DriveClub VR (and, by most accounts of PSX that I've seen, Gran Turismo Sport) looks.

DriveClub VR makes me sick. Eve: Valkyrie does not, unless I get really crazy w/ my maneuvers. I'm hoping for VR on this and that it'll be more like Eve than DriveClub.

I haven't been able to try Eve Valkyrie, but I'd like to. DriveClub VR is the ugliest, muddiest, blurriest game I've ever seen in my life. I don't recall it making me sick, it's just super ugly and not enjoyable to look at (or play, because it's still DriveClub at the end of the day). I've only been able to try it in small bursts at a friend's house, but PSVR in general was pretty disappointing to me, and it's immediately noticeably worse than the VIVE, which is to be expected I guess. But the gap is way wider than I would have believed, and way wider than it seems like most gaming sites would have you believe.

In any case, Elite Dangerous looks cool, and I'm glad it's coming to PS4.

I haven't tried PSVR, but every gaming site I've read up on it on has said that Driveclub is by far the worst implementation of it.

That is definitely true from my limited experience of it. I'm not particularly impressed with most of what I've played, though (some Job Simulator, a bit of Eagle Flight, all of the Batman thing a few other random things I'm forgetting). All of it looks much, much better than DriveClub VR does (seriously, did I mention how absolutely ugly that game is?), but they all suffer from tracking issues that I would have to think are inherent to the hardware (Seriously, Move controllers? Those things had garbage tracking when they were released, who though reusing them for VR was a good idea?). I get that they had to cut some corners to keep the price down, but VR isn't really something I feel like you can half-ass and make it feel good.

Apparently I'm in the minority there, though. I would also have to assume that maybe PSVR only feels bad in comparison to the Vive, which I've been lucky enough to use, while most PSVR users probably haven't. I don't own either, so I don't really have a horse in the race--I'd love for PSVR to be awesome. I'd love to buy it. It just hasn't proven to be worth a purchase for me.

Anyway, I didn't mean for this to turn into a dive down the VR rabbit hole. I just really loved my very brief time with Elite Dangerous in VR, and if it could work even half as well as it does on the VIVE (on a very top of the line gaming rig, mind you), it might be enough to sell me a PSVR.

That would be nice. XBOX is kinda filling up though. No Man's Sky was a big help in that regard. Do you play on PC? I don't remember.

Always seem to find folks on XBOX when I want to.

I'll try play it more often once college is over. So close, yet so far away...

Good to hear! Do you have Horizons? Don't remember that either.
