It's funny because most of VR is lovely indie tech demos not sold in stores, so handing people a demo disc presumably in case they don't have internet is completely useless. If they do want anything they won't be able to buy it anyway

I believe VR worlds isn't just demos of full games. It has complete VR experiences that would be unique to the VR worlds package.

There's a lot of VR games you can buy physically, like resident evil or batman VR or battle zone or rigs or drive club.

VR Worlds and the demo disc are separate things.

The demo disc has actual limited demos of full to-purchase products ; 20 demos in North America, 8 in Europe. I think it even includes a demo for VR Worlds.

VR Worlds is a wholly separate thing where it's a collection of shorter experiences and party games.

Now I'm kinda glad I didn't buy Transformers Devastation. It looks and sounds nice but goddamn the gameplay feels terrible.

Transformers Devastation has some of the best feeling gameplay in any action game ever released. It's possibly Platinum's best combat system--maybe slightly behind Bayonetta 2 and W101, but ahead of Revengeance.

A bunch of PSVR/PSVR-related games are already up on the PSN for some reason, so if you really wanna get Thumper or 100ft Robot Golf or whatever now you can.

edit: Web store now has a dedicated PSVR page.

Someone please blow your money on 100ft Robot Golf and tell me if its actually good as a golf game. Cause everything its wrapped in looks super funny, but whenever I see them play or talk about the golf part it looks bad. Like they haven't actually played or enjoyed a golf game before so didn't know how to make one bad.

The one video Ive seen of the game had some developers talking over it and they admit they've never even watched or played golf, and it shows, so idk why they made a golf game.

I watched a developer stream of it and it looked like the kind of game I'd be down for throwing ten bucks at on a PS+ sale but not the $26.99 Canadian the PSN is asking.

The PSVR Demo disc is also available as a free-but-39.992gig download, along with Playroom VR (also free, 2.216 gigs). If you're in Europe and intending to get PSVR at launch, bear in mind the European PSVR Demo Disc only has 8 demos while the NA disc has 20, so you might want to pick up the free download from an NA account if you have one.

It's kind of cool that it actually got pulled. If I recall correctly, not only was the game insanely bad but it stole assets left and right.

The wrapper is an indication of the contents. It's not a serious golf game, it lacks the quality of life stuff and precision that makes a real golf game and it has deliberately game breaking stuff like magnet balls to sink your chips and bashing the rubble of buildings into your opponent's way. If you wanted PGA Tour in 3D then wait for that.

Right now the automatch doesn't even work so without anyone on my friends list playing it I can't tell you if it's any better in multiplayer. I played the whole 36 holes tonight and the water and moon levels screwed with me the most because of the physics change. The mountain levels were probably closest to a more traditional difficult golf game since they have sheer cliffs to lose your ball and a lot of vertical changes to negotiate, but much less buildings and no wacky physics.

I like it for the $18 I paid but then I haven't played PGA Tour in a while and I probably should just dig into that again at some point. And I also like less serious golf games since in the end I pretty much suck at golf.

If you need any further proof whether it's for you, you have spin and curve controls but only three clubs with modifiers; high/mid/low driver and wedge, and long/short putter. If that annoys you just reading it don't buy robot golf.
