Good evening everyone
I just bought the bundle with Horizon
I came here and created an account just to share my experience with you. I'm speaking to you as someone who started playing video games in 1982, so I am one of the few who have seen the evolutionary path of this field from the beginning. So this is my experience.
I took it out of the box and expected something much heavier and bulkier; I was amazed when I took it out, it was incredibly light. Its controllers are amazing, made from very good materials, and you get used to them immediately.
The connection to the PlayStation is as simple as it gets, you just plug the cable into the PlayStation and that's it. In fact, the cable is very long and it doesn't pose any problem to the overall experience.
At first, I played No Man's Sky and while it is a very nice game, the VR element wasn't that intense.
Then I downloaded Horizon and guys, I was blown away. You literally step into the game. You look up and it's the sky, you look down and it's the ground, to the right and left you hear birds, you hear waterfalls, you hear the wind, the monsters come at you and you feel a real threat. The mechanism with the arrow and bow feels like you actually have an arrow and bow in your hands, you make the movements just like you would in reality to shoot an arrow with a bow.
When I saw Alloy (the protagonist from the previous title of the game) looking me in the eyes and talking to me, it truly felt like she was right in front of me. In fact, if you make a motion with your hands to touch her face, her hands, etc., she makes a facial expression as if you were about to touch her in reality, like she is surprised, a bit disgusted, or trying to avoid you.
It is the most impressive hardware I have ever acquired in my life. It is truly like a revolution in technology and I have not regretted for a second the money I spent. Also, it is the first time in my life that I am using virtual reality and I haven't felt any dizziness whatsoever, and I have been playing for 2 hours.
Another amazing plus is that with a small adapter, you can connect it to your computer as well. I even read that in terms of technical specifications, it has nothing to envy from even more expensive products from competing companies.
I'm really telling you, if you want an amazing experience in your home and to be left speechless, I wholeheartedly recommend it, you will remember me.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
