I haven't tried anything but Adventure Mode yet but I love it. That being said I can see where people feel little things were left out due to laziness. Also no customizable controls in 2018 is ridiculous and no quick way to restart is annoying.
@Flipbot I gotta imagine it is the full VR style setup just limited to one app... A TV screen app. How else would it create a 10ft screen? There's simply no way the headset no matter how bad it is is just a little screen in front of your face with no lenses and no effect of even being in a simplistic vr experience. And if the whole point is to see a giant screen why would you need a more advanced PSVR style experience?
@JayJ I've literally been saying concept the whole time so yes, theoretical products. The idea of what this (probably crappy) product is supposed to be is awesome. I have a PSVR too and it's pretty cool but I never bother to play it haha, so it's funny I'm even arguing for a new sorta-VR headset
@JayJ Would you say that if they made a new version of the PSVR with even better fidelity, less wires, more comfort, better in every way, and you could hook up your Switch to play games on what looks like a 10ft tv would be cool? Then you understand the concept like I do. If you don't think that would be cool... You've gotta just not be understanding the concept haha, I have no idea how else to put it.
@JayJ haha sounds like you REALLY hate this idea... Anyway no, it's not the same as holding the phone in front of your face. I can't explain it well but the lenses and the rest or the "VR" process turn it into what looks like a screen far away from you. I'm sure you know that already, but since you're equating it to holding a phone in front of your face I guess it's necessary to bring it up.
@JayJ Again the concept is great. They only have to get it to the point of being a great product. I'm not saying this is the one. But I've done enough VR stuff to know that watching shows or playing games on a virtual gigantic screen as a concept rules. Eventually like everything, it will be perfected and be comfortable and look great and not have any kind of eye strain. I think people are too busy talking down this product to stop and think about whether the concept is cool, and it is. Then again what do I know, I still pay extra to see IMAX and Dolby movies while everyone else apparently watches movies on their phones...
@JayJ like I said it better look good to make it worth it, but the people questioning this don't seem like they'd understand it if it was 8k per eye resolution haha. The CONCEPT is fantastic and not that hard to grasp.
Every time a product like this comes out people comment about how they "can't figure out what the reason is" for it to exist... And I for the life of me can't figure out what they can't figure out... Do you have 10 foot TV in your house? No? Well now you would. What's so hard to understand? That being said it better actually look good for it to be worth while and the headset better be comfortable, but still the concept... It shouldn't be that hard to understand why you'd want to play videogames on a giant TV...
I mean 3d only... Yeah probably... Maybe... I don't know... That's the problem with 3d videogames in general... They don't age as well as 2d games. Unless they do something incredibly wrong, the newest one is always the best. Where as 2d games, you can have a dozen games that are all great and still as great as when you first played them. Mario 64 was one of the greatest moments of my life and I can barely even play it now.

This looks great... Kinda reminds me of a modern take on Wizards & Warriors from NES

Ugh there is nothing more annoying to me than when levels in a platformer/action game are called "courses" haha
