    The best option to me would be to take the Ghostbusters video game from 2009) and replace the third person view of your character with a VR camera. I hope one day we get a VR Ghostbusters game designed by people who actually LOVE the franchise and know what fans want.

    Sony really need to invest in a hybrid team at Playstation to help port first and third party flat screen games rather than try and support AAA standalone VR when most developers don't have the time, money or sometimes talent to bring big budget to VR only. Please port games like Uncharted 4 and GOW Ragnarok Sony!

      @@WithoutParole Agreed, Sony would be pure genius if they made their own VR-hybrid studio to fix this low quality VR flood we are suffering thru do to other headset makers not standardizing Eye-tracking/FV on all headsets, instead they push out one hour battery life crap with no eyetracking/FV, so that we are stuck in this low quality game Dev hell. If all headsets had eyetracking devs could make higher quality games easier. Sony has eyetracking because they realized its a must-have to make games pretty & realistic games without having to have a rip-off supercomputer...
      we need to write Sony this idea over and over somehow so they can make profit from their own hybrids before its to late.

    Another issue I notice when smooth rotation enabled: the axis of rotation is behind your head insted of being in the center of your head (as it is in the quick rotation mode and all the other VR games), that causes uncomftable weird movility all time.

  • @JonathonSantiago

    I just bought this on a sale and it's a fun game overall. I think they chose a really odd direction for their art design, but allowing some of the new GBs from the newer movies as skins, the addition of classic jump suits, and constantly adding new content has been smart. The only thing that's a bit rough is that because they chose a kind friendly aesthetic there are a LOT of little kids playing it when your quickplay. Most of the kids some pretty good-natured compared to the foul-mouthed little gremlins you meet playing something like Population One, but know that if you play this during the daytime or peak afterschool times, you're GOING to get at least one or two kids in your party.
    I tend to play it later at night in hopes that most of them are in bed, but when I DO get adults in my party it's a lot of fun. You'll probably get the best results out of playing this with friends that have headsets.

    Nice review, I got sick with this game, even when I've been playing VR since 7 years without motion sickess, exept for 4 specific PSVR1 titles that (as Ghostbusters RotGL) also combine the movement direction by headset+control insted of being directed just by controller (my personal favorite) or just by headset. This game has an issue too with the roration axis wrongly located far behind the head (insted of being in the center) when turning with smooth rotation enabled, other 2 angle rotation modes have the axis right located. I've informed this to developers trough nDreams website and perhaps they can fix it if more users inform it aswell.

Kids seem to LOVE playing this game (a few squeakers joined us when we made the room public) and it made me wonder if younger gamers are just interested in doing silly things while they hang out with their friends - while older gamers are looking for deeper gameplay mechanics.
