@vortextk: oh cool thanks. What about videos? Have you tried to watch 3D movies at all? Are they a bit grungy looking like maybe looking at SD video these days?
There's an app that I haven't messed with too much called littlstar that has stuff on it to watch. I guess uh, lemme see.
*Edit* Soooo, kinda. A lot of the stuff I saw, these are all streams of course, seemed to be really compressed in the first place. I loaded up a kids 3d short movie and some travel style things. I started some megalodon shark experience, fast forwarded, saw the shark and thought wtf am I doing and turned that one off.
The bad online compression looks terrible in VR. The kids movie looked good but worse than a tv for sure. There was some short thing with Christina Ricci that was probably the only high bitrate/resolution thing I saw from the live action stuff. I feel like you can make out lots of things like grain of the wood flooring and stuff that you couldn't back in the SD days when you're up close to it, but faces unless they're real damn close are just never that clear.
I feel like that last one is probably how most stuff would come out looking made "proper", but if a lot of it is low res or small file sizes like most of the other stuff I checked that would suck.
Definitely not even as good as watching like a decently remastered old movie today on a screen. Just watched back to the future the other week, blu-ray copy, and it looks far and away better than anything even got close to in VR. I feel like 3d was just made for games because you can always see your creation afterward but still tinker with it.
Also, I have had 0 bad experiences in game besides a little vertigo in a level in Astrobot that pulls you along fast with some ups and downs(I do terrible on theme park rides/rollercoasters), but a lot of the forced camera movement in the videos gave me that same feeling. I'm not prone to any kind of motion sickness though and still none of that.
Anyway, my ps4 was still on god of war rest mode when I powered it up and that was the first time I saw a regular game in the headset. That honestly looked way better than I thought it would and while I wouldn't want to play a game like that in the headset most of the time, I could. This is all on a regular ps4 too, I don't have a pro but it does sound more attractive with my 4k set and VR...
