played and completed Arkham VR last night...it was as short as they said (and the ending made no sense if you only had a passing understanding of batman instead of the Arkham series) but boy...what little it had, it's almost ethereal.........at certain junction of the game, i thought i am in geek heaven.

Imagine a fight between Nightwing and *SPOILER* duking out.....in front of your eyes! And Killer Croc coming out of the water right in from of you!! Surreal!! @_@

The whole game has no 'action' at all right? It's just all those detective segments in Arkham games, where Batman will magically and impossibly, short of having a time machine, watch a reenactment of the fight that happened (which is again totally impossible to determine based on whatever evidence left behind on a crime scene). But that's all you do... watch. You watch a segment of action, then it pauses, lead you to the next 'clue' for you to 'analyse', then magically again lets you watch another few seconds of action, then pauses... The only action is throwing batarangs (basically acts like your mouse pointer in a point and click adventure game) and collecting collectables. Is there something more to it than a visual short story?

There are some simple puzzles to proceed the story.
After completion, you can go back to solve riddler's puzzles to unlock stuffs.

that doesn't sounds exciting...yes...and even watching a let's play of it doesn't seems exciting but believe me..........experiencing all that in VR is a different experience altogether......

It's like the difference between reading 50 shades of grey versus watching 50 shades of grey versus actually doing all the S&M 50 shades of grey stuff....:p

The part of the *spoiler* murder scene re-enactment is really cool too..

Will local stores stock up Robinson on the 8th November?

I wanted to pre-order through amazon but they don't ship it to SG...

If they don't stock Robinson in local stores, any idea how to get the game?

That game is like the most anticipated for PSVR.

Can check with Gamemartz. I believe they already have stock for R1. Price is mid to low 60s if I remember correctly.

Be warned though, initial impressions on Reddit are not looking good.

Thanks. :) I go check on one of the weekdays.
The reddit's initial impression demotivated me lol. I think I'll wait till they update the move controller support then buy.

Robinson: The Journey.
I don't know if PSN asia going to release it. Eve: Valkyrie only got US and EU version.

Hi all that got PSVR...

how you guys register the warranty at sony's site (http://asia.playstation.com/sg/en/support/p/productreg) ?

I tried to register mine but there isn't a category for PSVR.....the page only includes PS4, PS3, Vita, Vita TV & PSP...

how ah?

If you enquiry playstation asia (like I did).... they will answer:
"Regarding your enquiry, please kindly note that you just need to safeguard the original receipt of the purchase for 1 year warranty, it is required when a repair service is needed under warranty, colleagues in the repair center will check the receipt and confirm the warranty information to provide any warranty service."

Ignore them.....
Go https://www.sony.com.sg/registerproduct?sectiontype=mysonyregistration&cid=gwt:header:mysony:registerproduct instead. For 1year +3mths warranty. :s12:

So register PSVR under sony instead of Playstation.com?

I specifically ask the Sony guy when i collect my set where to register for warranty, Sony site or playstation site and he specifically told me Playstation site. He lied to me?!!? :mad:

Eh, probably he was just mistaken like the PS Asia support email.

Maybe they didn't get the memo from the main office, that despite all the gazilion other PS products to be registered in the Playstation site, the PSVR's warranty will be different.

WTF is wrong with Sony lately.

So is PS VR considered a "Playstation System"? For example, under your PSN account's Devices list, is it listed as an entry there, along side your PS4, PS3, Vita?
