The cheap ones you put your mobile phone in are OK too, if you get a good one, and you don't need a PS to watch 3D movies, just load them into your phone as SBS 3D videos (side by side), and watch anywhere, while your phone battery lasts.

Google cardboard copies can be OK, but sturdy plastic ones with good lenses and some adjustments are much better. Better means less eye strain.

You know you are into it when you nearly fall off your chair while watching.

I've had a PsVr set for a while but never tried it thoroughly until this week when I decided to play Resident Evil 7 which completely supports VR, and oh boy, it's scary! Not recommended for anyone with cardiac issues, seriously. This VR experience is so intense and, adding the good job Capcom has done in terms of graphics and sound effects... well, no comment

I don't think I could take Resisen Evil in vr tbh. Too brutal.
Some nasty shocks there I recon. Too scary. You must be made of sterner stuff than me m8.

Batman looks fun...

My grandson has one and I tried it. When the zombies started coming
after me I screamed and took it off, my heart was racing lol. I’d give it
another go, with something more my speed though. :)

I've played almost every version of Resident Evil since 1998, so I'm familiar with the whole atmosphere, but Capcom took the horror experience to a new Level with RE7 by going back to the thrilling core of the game rather than focusing on the action elements. And playing the game using a VR set means that you will get the full dose of Horror lol
