I keep hearing about this but have never used one. Is it really that much better than a headset with goggle view?

Goggle view? You mean google glass? I don't know what goggle view is.

Anyway, VR is one of the futures of gaming but isn't quite there yet even at an enthusiast level. There's big challenges left on both the hardware side (Samsung is smashing these problems) and the software side (thousands of devs are smashing these problems). The Rift DK2 right now is by far the best VR experience someone can buy and with the right games, setup and calibration is considered 'good VR'. Good VR is a unique experience and can be mind blowing in terms of gaming.

I'm betting that VR in GTA5, if it's possible at all, will be rough given the demands of the game and how much more demanding good VR is (2 scenes, hard 75FPS requirement with no fps drop, no judder problems etc). However VR in games like GTA5, Skyrim etc are one of the 'holy grails' of VR gaming since they match an incredibly immersive game with an incredibly immersive display device.

^^ Yeah by goggle view I am talking about the last time I tried anything VR which was back in the early 90's, where you would strap on a headset, and it would just be a glorified TV put up against your head.

I know that Anthony Cumia (formerly of Opie & Anthony) just bought SLI GTX980's for his PC just to play this game via Oculus Rift. I know they don't quite have the resolution needed to make it a "holy shit" type of experience, it's the closest thing we can currently get our hands on.

Yeah a ton of tech enthusiasts are still burned over the 90s era vr, lol. The concept is the same, use optics to make an image close to your face look like it's far away, then use stereo imaging to make it 3d. But the 90s era VR is to the Oculus DK2 what 90s era cell phones are to the samsung note 3 (the note3's display is literally the display used in the DK2).

Question: I pre-ordered the digital version of Grand Theft Auto V on PS4 on the PlayStation?Store, but the GTA$ bonus has not appeared in Story Mode or GTA Online. How can I claim it?

Answer: These bonuses can be claimed from the in-game PlayStation?Store tab via the Pause Menu. To claim both bonuses, visit the PSN Store in both Story Mode and in GTA Online.

To claim the GTA$ in GTAV Story Mode, enter GTAV, select the PlayStation?Store tab via the Pause Menu and download the bonus pack.

To claim the GTA$ in GTA Online (along with a bonus for pre-ordering on the PlayStation?Store), enter GTA Online, select the PlayStation?Store tab via the Pause Menu and download the bonus pack.

Note: You must visit the PlayStation?Store once in Story Mode, and once in GTA Online, to receive both bonuses.

the first black dude you start out with won't get the SP $500k cuz the game is racist and is sending a message that black people are bad with money, instead it goes to the white guy michael

hmm...Franklin (black guy) actually got my pre-order 500k SP money bonus. Not Michael.

This still makes the game racist since they are sending a message that black people are poor, so mine got the bonus money first. So either way black people still lose. lol

I don't know about you guys but I find the Police radio / Cell phone calls coming through the controller to be awesome. So much more immersive with it, too but it doesnt work for online.

Thank you Ut.

I know people hate the light on the controller but I think its cool when the cops are after you and its flashing red and blue.

Actually, I never checked this out. Is the money I get not story based for all three characters to share but only tied to one?

This is the best last gen to next gen translation I have ever owned.

I wouldn't have even known this started on a PS3 if I had never seen this game at launch

For someone who could not stand IV more then about 10 hours, this is waaaaay better in the story department (<3 Trevor), but it still have the issue with cars feeling more like baloons on wheels with zero weight bouncing all over the place. Still love it tho!
