Should I upgrade my TV to a 4K or should I go VR?

I will test my games today to give my thoughts on the matter. but from what I've been told the headset works fine for non VR games. My concern is large gaming sessions and the weight of the unit.

So here are my initial impressions of the PSVR.

Pros: it works with all games (VR and non) and makes a nice theatre atmosphere (no back lights effecting the screen)
the colors in the centre are crisp and vibrant
Driveclub looks great and the ability to look around the car is perfect plus you can adjust the seat height and seat position within the car to suit your style (hope GTS has this feature)

Cons: it's heavy after an hour on second son my neck got sore (something I could get use to however)
the edges are blurry same with fine print (could be an adjustment issue or the fact that it was on a non VR title)
If you are prone to motion sickness you will feel ill
Know your wheel/ controller you ain't gonna be able to see them while gaming [(unless you game with the controller in your line of sight) that just cool the controller show up on screen with the buttons mapped with available options]

Conclusion: Whether or not it is better than a 4k I couldn't really tell you but for why I'm buying it it should work amazing (Come on GTs live up to expectation)

After taking a few laps on each suggestion, all are good Combos. I vote with RacingChamp30 and MajorBlixem.

Prize B Track Option: Circuito di Roma - Forward

 

[MajorBlixem]

After taking a few laps on each suggestion, all are good Combos. I vote with RacingChamp30 and MajorBlixem.

There's no voting for Prize A. I had to pick from D2 suggestions. I have to admit that red Ferrari was a very close second!

 

[JLBowler]

Prize vote update​

Three votes for Fuji and three votes for Rome. First vote case is the tie-breaker so Fuji GT will be the track.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

@Die_Birdy_Die If you like horror games you will like Resident Evil 7 in VR

 

[Rednose58]

Can someone please get me a lap time in the Mazda on Fuji GT as soon as possible? I'm out of town this week and won't be able to test.

Based on previous combo's with similar PP I guess we will be 7 laps

I'll post it with 7 laps for now and we can change tomorrow if needed.

For August 20

 

[Vegasracer]

I averaged 1:34s at Fuji. 33s are there. I think a mid division time might be 35s

 

[Vegasracer]

1:24.3 so far at laguna.

SNAILs with PC's

I have encountered an opportunity to purchase a motion rig at a pretty substantial savings so I figured I'd throw it out there here too. A member over at CanAmVRL has scored a deal with Promisu on multiple units. List price of the T1000 3DOF is 2700 euros (after removing tax as an export customer. This is a French company), but can be had for only 2300 euro if he orders at least 4 units. It's basically about $2700 USD vs.$3200 list. Even at list price, this may be the best bang for the buck motion system on the market. It's half the price of the SimX level 3 I was planning to purchase.

1:24.3 so far at laguna.

1:23.331 for me. It felt like a magic lap I could never do again

 

[BArthur68]

So this weekend is another race weekend over here for me so I might not make it but probably will. My brother is doing an all Japanese hour long enduro in a spec Miata so that will be fun to watch.

Comfortable seat?

The picture shows a BMW Sauber F1.08 that was cut in halflengthwise, perfectly displaying the position of the driver in the car. Marked with a yellow line is the bottom edge of the driver seat and monocoque. The leftmost vertical edge is where the driver touches the pedals whereas the lowest point is where the driver's buttocks are located in the car.

Banners posted. Thanks @JamCar0ne

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Working another music festival and the next few days are going to be long. No way I can make Sunday night.

 

[Rednose58]

I will be out this weekend again.

@TomMang_68 @Grandpa Money @SAMHAIN85 if possible, if you could take care of business

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Working another music festival and the next few days are going to be long. No way I can make Sunday night.

Cool, what festival and what do you do? Sound guy?

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Cool, what festival and what do you do? Sound guy?

Yeah, doing sound for 12 bands playing at a Ribfest.

 

[Nicktune]

On another note. @Nicktune has not responded to the conversation for potential prize winners this week. He has forfeited his prize over to a voting process. He locks into prize B which means that D1 will get to suggest a replacement element for the remainder of the drivers to vote upon once the prize C winner has chosen to freeze the car or the track.

On that note, @TEX36 is confirmed as the prize C winner and is clear to make his selection to freeze the car or the track.

Sorry! I've been really busy with work.


Edit:
Interesting product in the news section.
