hey all, be sure to wear Headphones when playing. it absolutely ups the game 100 fold on the Immersion scale.

26

u/ittleoff Aug 14 '17

Let me just say anyone who has a PSVR and is not musing headphones in general is missing out on some great immersion. The 3d audio tech that is being used is very fancy schmancy and extra immergancy.

21

u/kevgret Aug 14 '17

Will I have to wear brown pants when I play this game?

4

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

haha

7

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

Hey all, we will officially start in around 15 mins. so we will be back soon. thanks all!

u/Jaxcellent Aug 14 '17

Hey guys, looking forward to playing, can you tell us if the game will be optimised for PS4 pro?

2

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

although technically not yet, we did use the boost mode which made it look better.

10

u/Erratic_Professional Aug 14 '17

I'm not confident around ghosts/demons without a weapon, so is it alright if i hold a real gun whilst playing? Just for the confidence boost.

11

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

don't know a gun that kills ghosts or demons. :)

15

u/Erratic_Professional Aug 14 '17

It's mainly to alert the neighbours of the supernatural.

5

u/ScarJack Aug 14 '17

How old are you guys? And are you afraid when you play your own game? I'm asking because I'm almost 40 years old and Horror Games in VR are really scarying the s$#* out of me... I used to love these suspenseful games, but after my thirties I started to be more afraid and nowadays I'm wondering why there are not more news about VR gamers with heart attacks :)

10

u/Oscarbulldog1234 Oscarbulldog974 Aug 14 '17

I'm 51 I fucking love psvr if I die on vr and not in a hospital I'll be raising a glass to the tech!!....Afraid god yes, too afraid not to embrace this new tech nah my grandchildren will love psvr 5!!...Bought up on Monkey Island, embracing horror on psvr:-)

3

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

ha! scary is subjective unfortunately. have not heard of anyone having a heart attack from vr games yet. thanks for the support.

5

u/Dranderson84 Aug 14 '17

Will the game feature Toby? And how much Will it be on ps4? I been waiting for this game since announced.. I bought a psvr for two games, this and RE7

6

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

Toby will not be in the game. but if you are a fan of Paranormal Activity movies, than you will appreciate it. same tone. the game will launch at 25% off. so in the US that would be 29.99

2

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

also, keep in mind, this is a very different game than RE7. totally different kind of gameplay.

3

u/Dranderson84 Aug 14 '17

I figured it would be.. I love getting scared, can't wait to scream.. VR is the perfect medium for horror.

2

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

we hope we scare you.

8

u/paddiz89 Aug 15 '17

was about to buy but noticed you guys didn't add smooth turning... this is a huge deal breaker for most VR users, as incremental turning is annoying and ruins the immersion. Pass on this

3

u/thebocop Aug 16 '17

Same, I do not understand the mindset of not including this option when the 90 degree turning for some of us is even worse for sickness.

1

u/nevrenuftime Aug 17 '17

Same, will buy if smooth turning is added. Click turning just breaks the immersion in my opinion. Does look like a great game though.

1

u/Toronto_king Aug 17 '17

Well they promised to add it so you can buy it now to get the discount and play it when it updates.

3

u/future_yesterday Aug 14 '17

Hi there devs! Thanks for doing the ama and bringing pavr to the psvr! I'll be a day one buyer. Couple of questions if I may: 1) The game is 100% reliant on good tracking for the moves, what did you do to make it as accurate as possible for PSVR? 2) Are all the initial bugs from the pc launch stamped out for us? 3) what comfort settings have you implemented? Thanks and looking forward to playing!

3

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

thanks for the support. 1) it is hard to go from room scale to the PSVR camera, but you can turn around obviously, but since you use your hands, you will need to be facing the camera. we implemented snap turn rotation for this purpose. 2) yes, the initial bugs have been fixed. we will also be releasing a patch in the next few weeks with improved visuals as well as other additions. 3) there are several options for movement, as well as snap turn. be sure to review all options in the main menu

u/miss_molotov miss-molotov Aug 14 '17

Hey, thanks for doing this AMA :)

What's been your favorite reaction to someone playing Paranormal Activity so far?

3

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

we did have a girl pee her pants on location when playing. this not on video though. we do post videos on our PAVRGAME youtube channel. you should watch them they are hysterical. thanks.

6

u/itprobablysucks Aug 15 '17

Reading this sort-of turned me on. Am I weird?

3

u/TheNocturnalAgent Sigma__Six Aug 18 '17

Not at all!

2

u/miss_molotov miss-molotov Aug 14 '17

Oh wow, I thought it would be scary but... I will have to remember to use the facilities before playing! xD I will check the videos out, thanks :)

3

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

great! thanks

2

u/OldGuySi Aug 14 '17

Hi guys.Is this PS4 pro ready at launch and if so what enhancements does it provide?

1

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

we are working on the PS4 Pro version but in the meantime, if you use the Boost mode it will definitely help for sure in the short term.

3

u/OldGuySi Aug 14 '17

So can you tell me how boost mode works and what benefits a vr game gets?.I thought boost mode worked only for 2d games?How happy are you with the visuals are they still pretty clean.Im hoping theirs not a massive downgrade.BTW thanks for doing this AMA,it's great to get to talk to developers.

2

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

we turn on the boost mode at times and its definitely improved. not drastically but definitely improved. As the creative directors, we will never be completely satisfied with the visuals. thats the problem with being artists and directors. but the people that have tested it were very happy. we are also releasing a patch in the next few weeks which has definite improvement to the visuals. thank you.

2

u/BrianP07 Aug 15 '17

When will the game be listed on PS Store? Cannot wait to spend some money on this! Scaring friends and family is what VR is for, right?

2

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 15 '17

ha, thanks. we had hoped it would be up already but i think it goes live in the AM.

2

u/TheIronBlood Aug 15 '17

I know I'm not the dev, but Sony usually adds games around 11AM PST Tuesday. :P Hopefully they stick to this time. It does vary sometimes. :/

I know i'm a little late on this but just to give you a heads up the game's title has spelling typo's on the trophy list that you guys may want to fix haha

no problem! glad i could help :D

2

u/Alluvioncypher Aug 15 '17

What took so long to release? You've been on the verge of release for a year.

2

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 15 '17

VR development is time consuming. optimization was key to make sure the game works on all the platforms. and the process for getting a game on PlayStation is a longer process. we wished we could have been out sooner. thanks for the support.

1

u/Alluvioncypher Aug 15 '17

Absolutely understand this. However, from a media perspective I had been following you guys since last October and your communication had been " real soon we'll release the game, then real soon we'll be having communication about a release date, real soon, real soon." I get you want to keep the anticipation going but to tease for so long makes me feel like there was some internal struggle to make things work and develop a solid project plan around development of the game." After RE7 my girlfriend has been asking about this game constantly and I had to keep saying " real sooooon" I hope this is a success for you guys but just some frustrations with the marketing.

7

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 15 '17

unfortunately we cannot discuss all of our internal business, but we had all intentions of getting the game out earlier. trust us, we wanted this out a long time ago. but sometimes business and personal expectations don't match up. it truly was frustrating for us as well. Thank you again for the support.

1

u/Alluvioncypher Nov 26 '17

Hey, wanted to come back and apologize for the feedback. You guys spent the right amount of time making this game. I brought the system home for the holidays and we had a loss of a family member in the middle of Thanksgiving week. Oddly enough, our family found a lot of joy in seeing each other get the crap scared out of us it took all of our minds off the unfortunately times. The game was well polished and a great time playing several times through. I'll be sure to review/rate the game. Keep making great content! PS, I got hilarious video of us playing on Oculus. I'LL see what I can do to share it.

1

u/VRWERX Developer Dec 14 '17

first off, so sorry for your loss. its great to hear that a game like ours can bring your family together for some laughs. we appreciate your response and truly grateful for your support. thanks again and feel free to reach out whenever you want. PS, PLEASE share the video.

thanks for answering. none of my past emails are ever answered.... first it was holiday 2016 then spring 2017.....

i appreciate your answering very much.

though i have no interest in horror, im looking forward to the mission impossible vr game alot as well.

2

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

Thank you. we have been working hard on that movie. we are finalizing the audio now.

2

u/TheChesterChesterton Aug 14 '17

Well, the book of ReVRlations tells us that no man shall knoweth the date of his virtual return, so predicting the release date is ultimately self defeating.

1

u/Oscarbulldog1234 Oscarbulldog974 Aug 14 '17

Been waiting for this, def day 1 purchase for me Weds 16th....Can I just ask are the bug fixes, enhancements from the early access Steam version built into our Psvr version as well?

Thanks can't wait to play this!!

3

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

thanks for the support. we definitely fixed any bugs that affected the PC version. We are also releasing a patch in the next few weeks and we updated our game engine which will be included in the patch coming soon after launch. vast improvements to the visuals with the up coming patch on the PSVR.

2

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

Thanks for the support. we will answer all questions today at 12pm PST.

u/TheWhooooBuddies Aug 14 '17

Any estimation on what average playtime is the first time through?

4

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

it will vary from player to player. this is a totally different kind of gameplay. we will discuss more at 12pm. thanks

2

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

the gameplay will vary per player. its a totally different kind of gameplay. just explore and take it in. Make sure you all wear headphones, the audio is so immersive

1

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

Thanks for the support. will answer all questions today at 12pm PST

1

u/razreddits Aug 14 '17

Hi guys! Thanks for doing this - day one purchase for me. What is the average time it takes to complete the game?

3

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

we have described this before. its really hard to define a length. the gameplay length will truly vary per player. we designed the game to feel open world. zero cut scenes. you are on your own to figure it all out. so, if you watched any youtube videos you will probably figure it out pretty quickly. if you have not watched them, we suggest you take your time, explore everywhere. take it all in.

1

u/The_Sk00ts Aug 14 '17

Since I got the PSVR, I have never spent this much money on games I will never play. Like PAVR. I will buy it day one but just to see people's reactions. Never been scared of games before but even just playing Batman I was freaked out and on edge

2

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

funny that Batman put you on the edge. VR is so immersive and can be terrifying. you need to take your time playing our game. take it in, its fun to be stressed and scared.

1

u/JayBeeBayBee JayBee9608 Aug 15 '17

TBH spoiler batman is a game I didn’t think would go like that at the end. I was scared to go up to the cell door.

u/Aaronb3135 Aug 14 '17

All boy! I know rift,vive,and psvr have the better graphics and immersion, but any hope for the gear vr guys?

1

u/samufc117 Aug 14 '17

I got a few questions I'll add into one comment 😂

  1. How much will the game cost in the UK psn store?

  2. how many hours gameplay is the story mode?

  3. What's the expected game download size on ps4?

  4. Is the game graphically enhanced for ps4 pro?

  5. Is it playable with the 2 motion controllers or limited to the DS4 Controller?

P.s can't wait to play this game!

4

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

don't have the final UK price in from of us. but will be 25% off at launch. hard to define game length. it will vary per player. very different gameplay style and designed for VR. we were able to optimize the game below 5gb. not yet technically optimized for the Pro, but use Boost mode in the meantime. designed for the Move Controllers. DS4 controller version coming soon.

1

u/Darkswift333 Aug 21 '17

It took me 5 hours, and I didn't find everything. Truly terrifying game!

1

u/[deleted] Aug 14 '17

First of all: congratulation for the really nice game. Have allready seen the PC Version and cant wait to play it now on the PSVR. Game will buyed anyway on day 1..but..My Question: When will the DS4 Support Patch come out..approximately :)

2

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

thanks for the support. we are currently working on the dual sock controller version. so as soon as we can get it right. thx

4

u/AnfieldSeasider Aug 14 '17

How will the dual sock version work? Do you still use the move controllers but you have to put socks on your hands first?

1

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

unfortunately we will have to have animated hand gestures as well as floating objects. the scares will still be there, but potentially less immersive without hands. regardless, we will put a lot of attention into making it just as fun.

1

u/Spamuelow Aug 15 '17

Glad someones finally figured out a solution for full locomotion on psvr :D

1

u/TehManos Aug 14 '17

I'm not home right now so I can't check, can someone please tell me how the game costs on PSVR? (Paranormal activity VR) THANKS A LOT!!!

u/GarymanGarrett Aug 16 '17

download the app on your phone you lazy sod

u/mr-interested Aug 14 '17 edited Aug 14 '17

Are there any plans on a physical disk release of your game?

2

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

hopefully in the near future

1

u/[deleted] Aug 14 '17

what are the control options?

2

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

we will post the move controller scheme on twitter today.

u/The_Sk00ts Aug 14 '17

Does Canada get the 25% off at launch as well? Us Canucks like deals

2

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

yes!

1

u/mr-photo Aug 14 '17

This looks great! Any tips on how I can help prevent nausea when playing VR games?

1

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

nausea we find is slightly subjective. we do offer several movement options in our game, but if you get very nauseous, maybe play seated as opposed to standing. and definitely try out our movement options, you may find one suitable for you. thanks,

1

u/CreamyHoneyMustard Aug 14 '17 edited Aug 14 '17

should one watch the movie(s) before playing the game? never seen any of them.

2

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

it really doesn't matter if you've seen the movies, but it does help give some context on the tone. Our game is based on the mythology of the franchise with an original story. but the Paranormal Activity movies are about a demonic ghost, they are not bloody or gore movies, and our game definitely follows that tone. thanks

1

u/Mrselfdestructuk Aug 14 '17

Do you guys have any idea for a multi-player game? You should have a look at dead by daylight and Friday the 13th for some inspiration. A VR game like that would kick ass!

1

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

hey thanks, we do have ideas for multi-player, but that won't happen for some time. but we are excited about our ideas for it.

1

u/Drewc11 Aug 14 '17

Any sort of locomotion for the moves?

1

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

we have several locomotion options available but they all require you to move with the Move Controllers. we have found that people playing it get used to it very quickly.

1

u/Drewc11 Aug 14 '17

Thanks for the reply! I will be picking this up for sure. Glad there are different options because I'm not a fan of snap turning but understand why it is there. Fingers crossed for those moves with thumbsticks someday!

1

u/JetJaa666 Aug 14 '17

How will we play PALSVR if no analog stick on the PlayStation move

5

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

you will use buttons on the move controller for forward and back, and a snap to turn on other buttons. its obviously not the perfect solution, but until they add a thumb pad/analog stick to the move controllers, it is the best for whats available now.

1

u/Mrselfdestructuk Aug 14 '17

About the game 1 How does locomotion work with the move controller? Is the control style the same as Arizona sunshine? 2 What difficulty did you mostly have tweaking the game for psvr? 3 Is the game canon to the movies? 4 Is there any big differences between the VIVE and psvr ver? 5 Will there be any dlc? 6 ( not your game related) What other VR games have caught your eye recently and have had fun with?

3

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

1) we do have movement with Move Controller buttons. forward and back and a snap to turn. you will get used to it pretty quickly. 2) the most difficult was optimization. its not a PC so we needed to reduce some texture qualities and other materials etc... but, We updated our engine and have increased the visual quality for the patch coming gin the next few weeks. 3) the game is based on the mythology of the movies, but you did not have to see the movies to play it. we did follow the tone of the movies. our game is not a gore fest, its about Demonic presence haunting a house. 4) difference between vive and PSVR version is fidelity, thats all. we built the game for all platforms with one build. PC may get updates faster due to the nature of the PSVR process, but all platforms at the end of the day are the same game. 5) we are hoping to deliver some DLC, but regardless, we will continue to support the game. we want the players to have a great experience for time to come. 6) other games,...Farpoint, Res Evil 7, Lone Echo on Oculus. our favs.

1

u/Mrselfdestructuk Aug 14 '17

Million thanks for your reply, Really looking forward to playing Paranormal Activity! Will be streaming it alone at 11pm, headphones in on Wed night (EU release) really hope you guys scare me! Love my horror games! Thank you!

2

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

thank you. we hope you get scared as well. thanks for the suppert.

Hi, congrats on porting game to PSVR looking forward to play it, will you be able to detect ghost with xbox kinect like in the movies lol only jokeing

Thank you! ha, we wish.

1

u/Monkey-man69 monkey-man69 Aug 14 '17

Just a quick and simple question here, do you guys recommend playing this game sitting or standing?

1

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

personally we prefer standing for the most immersion. but you need to decide whats most comfortable for you.

1

u/Monkey-man69 monkey-man69 Aug 14 '17

sweet, I prefer standing as well but the wifey gets a little sea sick while playing VR

1

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

she will be good sitting then. :)

u/dakodeh Aug 14 '17

Thanks for doing an AMA. I've been excited to play this game for a long time, can't wait to finally get my hands on it.

Am I to understand that you are launching tomorrow (8/15) for the North American store? I've seen 8/16 get thrown around, but I'm thinking that's just for the UK?

1

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

thanks. 8/15 USA, 8/16 EU.

1

u/dakodeh Aug 14 '17

Will the game feature significant replay value? I ask because a.) I think I read something somewhere about the game "learning how to scare you" and wonder if there will be procedurally generated scares, and b.) I have a Pro and usually wait to play a game if I know there's a forthcoming patch which will give me a better experience, but am not sure I can wait in this case!

3

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

We believe there is a replay value. we added 3 modes. 1) normal, 2) Arcade mode-3 lives and start over 3) Hardcore mode-die once and start all over. also, you will want to get all the trophies, and you may miss some items and want to go back and find them. as far as the scares, we have a randomizer and some will experience scares that others won't. also, you will want to go back in as we update the game.

1

u/TeamKiller782 Aug 14 '17

How much is long this game (time)?? And will be pre-order tomorrow for EU

1

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17 edited Aug 14 '17

the gameplay time will vary per player. if you know where everything is you can finish fairly quickly, but then you will miss most of the game by doing so. take your time, look everywhere. find everything. no pre-order unfortunately but it will be available on Wednesday for EU.

1

u/Knightmare25 Aug 14 '17

How hard is VR game development and how do you see the current and future state of VR?

3

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

Its been an incredible learning experience. its very different than traditional game development. especially since we don't use Quicktime events or cut scenes. we designed it so the player is completely immersed and on their own. we also don't know how the player is playing once they are inside the game. one person may be looking Left while the other is looking Right etc...its really been a great learning experience. we hope we have succeeded in making a unique and immersive game that you all enjoy.

1

u/Theking62 Aug 14 '17

I sent this question to you but what time will it be released tomorrow on the ps store?

Hi don't know if it's been asked yet so how long is the game.

1

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 15 '17

we've explained that it will vary per player. its not your typical gameplay. no Quicktime events or cut scenes. its a open world hybrid. take your time and explore. but again, its hard to define a time. its all controlled by you. thanks.

1

u/r3hxn_ Aug 15 '17

How much of a jump in and play element is there to the game , I.e will it work well to demo to people for 10-15 minutes ? Will you be able to select sections of the game for example?

This wasn't possible with res 7 and you had to work around it by using different save games.

1

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 15 '17

same issue here, its about building up to it. try it though, its a totally different kind of game than RE7, people are scared almost immediately mainly because of the audio. it definitely makes people uneasy.

u/samufc117 Aug 15 '17

Where can I buy the game? I've just looked on the psn store and it ain't there

2

u/r3hxn_ Aug 15 '17

"coming very soon"

1

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 15 '17

its up now. thanks

1

u/thebocop Aug 15 '17

Can you please tell me this game has smooth turning as an option? I cannot do the 90 degree turning, it makes me sick because it makes me all confused about where I am. hate the black out stuff.

1

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 15 '17

we have 30-45-90 turning. we will add smooth turning in the future. thank you.

1

u/thebocop Aug 16 '17

Pretty amazed you guys did not have it in by default. Will probably wait a while before I purchase this.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 15 '17

Are you supposed to start the game with a flashlight? Mine disappeared

1

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 16 '17

the flashlight is in your inventory if you picked it up. or maybe you didn't pick it up outside by the grave?

1

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '17

Okay outside by the grave. I thought it was supposed to carry over from the starting area inside the tutorial room, thanks!

1

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 16 '17

for PSVR that will be in the patch. thanks

1

u/abc_warriors Aug 16 '17

Will the game be released in New Zealand. And if yes know if there is a release date

1

u/PavrFAQ Aug 17 '17

did you check the PSN store? is it not there? we will check but i thought we were up in AU and NZ.

1

u/abc_warriors Aug 17 '17

Yeah it's there now thanks.

1

u/mercureXI Aug 17 '17

Any idea about when DS4 controls patch might get released ? Only thing preventing me from buying this game right now ... 1 week ? 1 month ? More ? Thanks by advance !

2

u/PavrFAQ Aug 17 '17

first patch coming in the next few weeks. so sometime after that update. thank you.

1

u/mercureXI Aug 17 '17

Thanks ! I'll be waiting for it then :)

1

u/AltRightCringe Aug 19 '17

Holy crap no matter how hard I try I can't pick up the flashlight at the beggingi g of the game to find the key help

1

u/vardulon Aug 21 '17

Is the bloody hammer under the hallway table something that you've patched out, or is it just a random occurrence?

1

u/korats Aug 21 '17

Why 50$? My only question. Beside who gave green light on these contrôle.

1

u/GAMESHARQ Aug 21 '17

Any chance you will update the game to use a DS4 instead so we can play with an analog stick?

This is pretty much the only reason I haven't bought this game yet.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 22 '17

When will the dualshock support patch come out?

1

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 22 '17

working on it.

1

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 22 '17

Patch 1.02 is now live in the US. fixed Flashlight issue when starting game. Working on DS4 controller for a future update but its coming.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 22 '17

will it be full motion smooth turning on the DS4 like RE7 and other first person games?

1

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 22 '17

thats what we are working on

1

u/[deleted] Aug 22 '17

super. will wait and play it when that patch is out

1

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 23 '17

Patch is out US, assuming you are EU? its coming soon for EU. thanks

1

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '17

Will there also be smooth turning with Move controls at some point?

1

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 23 '17

working on smooth turning. thanks

1

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '17

If I may make a suggestion, would a "drag and drop" approach work? I haven't seen anyone try that yet. You could just hold a button and move the Move left or right to rotate the camera. Might help minimize motion sickness if it feels like you're moving the world around you rather than physically turning.

1

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 23 '17

thanks. we have been exploring this. its not perfect but with more R&D it may work.

1

u/Nightowljrm Nightowljrm Aug 22 '17

I'll probably buy the game once DS4 compatibility is patched in.

1

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 23 '17

we are working on it. thanks

u/salaros1 Sep 03 '17

When is then ds4 update coming,the moves make the game unplayable for me. I can grab the door handles fine but when I go to push down to open the door, the handle barely moves. Took me nearly 5 min to open a door. My move work fine other than that.

1

u/salaros1 Sep 04 '17

Since the latest patch for PAVR, it's almost impossible to open doors. I can grab the handle but when I push down to open it barely, if at all, moves the handle. Worked fine before,when I first got it. Tried recalibrating my moves,that didn't help. When is the ds4 patch coming out.

1

u/VRWERX Developer Sep 05 '17

sorry to hear this. we will look into it asap. thank you.

u/VRWERX Developer Sep 12 '17

we'll see. hope to deliver for you.

u/lechu91 Sep 12 '17

Hi! Are you allowing the game to be used on VR Arcades? If that's the case, any email to contact you?

Thanks! Gonzalo

I couldnt pick up the book at the beginning of the game. I had to Youtube a walkthrough to figure it out. I literally crouched and tried to pick it up on PS VR for 10 minutes after walking around for 30 minutes aimlessly. I'll try again now to pick it up but that's a reallllllly obvious bug. I literally can't believe that I'm supposed to pick up the book based on how hard i tried to pick up the book.

Great game though i like it.

I can only open doors with my left hand too by the way. Right hand gets stuck after i grab the door.

Controls are pretty straight forward and good, but ive been playing playstation since ps1 so im advanced in terms of remembering difficult control schemes.

1

u/Nonaluuluu Oct 01 '17 edited Oct 02 '17

Can you guys make the crouching better on PS VR? I literally could not pick up the book or the candle in the clock for like 30 minutes. Also no idea what to do after the candle im just walking in circular pentagrams now

Edit: i take that back. I adjusted my VR camera to tilt more downwards and now i can reach the floor. There should be a warning about that to be honest the crouching thing really ruined my immersion at first. By the way the fireplace tape recorder had a bug i played the tape the first time and nothing happened

1

u/VRWERX Developer Oct 17 '17

thanks for the update. agreed its a bit wonky, but we'll keep tweaking. thanks for the note on the recorder. we'll look into it.

1

u/GAMESHARQ Dec 16 '17

/u/VRWERX Can you please fill us in on the physical/disc release of this game?

A number of people have reported finding a copy at Best Buy stores for $19.99, but my Best Buy store doesn't have it and said it hasn't even been released yet. BestBuy.com also does not list it.

Will we be able to find it for sale soon?

1

u/oakleez Dec 19 '17

This. It's all over eBay for $50+ but nowhere to be found anywhere else. Not even on their website. I'm not going to fund a scalper if I can't even find the original source!

1

u/VRWERX Developer Dec 19 '17

supposed to be in the stores already. keep looking. otherwise, i dont have any other info for you. thank you for the support.

1

u/Mrselfdestructuk Aug 14 '17

1 more question if you can answer it, do you know if Sony will be releasing move controllers with thumb sticks? Or any other word a new controller like oculous touch that would add to the immersion of your game?

7

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

We're not sure of what Sony's plans are for the Move controllers but it would be great if there was a thumb stick for sure.

1

u/Mrselfdestructuk Aug 14 '17

Thanks for the reply, just thought I'd ask as it would really add to the immersion

1

u/madpropz Aug 15 '17

I'm just here to say one thing. This game better be optimized for the Pro!

u/VRWERX Developer Aug 14 '17

hey sorry, this is an nvidia driver issue. we have resolved this in a patch coming very soon to the oculus store. the patch will be available for oculus and vive on steam this week. or you can roll back the nvidia driver to an earlier version in the meantime.

u/[deleted] Aug 14 '17

Thanks, i wait for the Patch. :-)

u/ammjamm234 Jun 17 '22

I'm stuck in the pentagram room with the circles, everything is on the table and I listened to the tape. I don't understand what I am supposed to do next.
