Sounds like Folding at home.
I already bought Uncharted collection three years ago for $7. It will be nice to get Journey though. Previously I only had it for whenever (if ever) I would subscribe to PS+.
That’s cool. I don’t own a console to play them on, but I can’t turn down a free game!

Have have one too and would be happy to accept it if it is someone here. Anyone know who it is? @jpinard, you are already friends with this person on the PS, do you know who it is?

A quick forum search points to this as your most likely culprit :
I think @rowe33 is correct :)
I did the 1TB self upgrade of my PS4 pro and had some USB issues myself.
The front USB ports wouldn’t recognize my SanDisk “slide - out” thumb drives either.
The issues was that the ports are recessed so that many USB drives can’t make a connection.
I found one driver which could fit and connect, but it was only a 1 GB drive. Which worked for my saves but when I put the update file on it, it wouldn’t install
Turned out I needed the FULL firmware, which now requires a 1.1 GB thumb drive.
But I noticed the rear USB port when taking the hard drive out, and the SanDisk fit fine there.
So, try the rear USB port if you are having USB issues.
A short extension cord for USB might also do the trick?
Yeah, but using the rear one is faster than digging up/buying a cord, IMHO. YMMV.
Nice look at Iron Man PSVR:

Recently, Sony released a demo for Marvel’s Iron Man VR , a new PlayStation VR title that lives up to its namesake by putting you in the shiny metal boots of one Tony Stark. The results are not only impressive for a fully-fledged VR experience, but also because it lives up to the promise of putting you in the virtual boots of an actual superhero. In a full-sized adventure that will offer somewhere between eight to ten hours of cinematic propulsion when it launches in July.
I just kicked up this demo today, and yeah, it’s really slick. The control scheme is mostly solid, though it takes a bit of getting used to. The tracking for your hands and arms is very well done, and you pretty much use them just like he does in the movies. Ditto for the HUD. The only thing that is off is the voice for Stark and Pepper (and her model) bear no relation to RDJ/Paltrow. Which is understandable, but it makes everything a little off when so much is directly lifted.
There’s also a time trial race thing you can do, and I imagine there’s more of that in the full game, it extend its life a bit.
Oh, and this is not a game for sitting down while playing. First game that threw my balance off when turning and flying around. No motion sickness, but there were a few ‘which way am I facing IRL?’ moments.
Sounds like the VR controllers are necessary for it? Is that the case for most psvr games?
I’ve seen it by itself and with controllers.
PSVR plus controllers packages aren’t cheap. Prime day being delayed doesn’t help much either.
I just checked the store, and it does say Move controllers are required. And frankly, I don’t think I’d want to play otherwise. The arm tracking is a big part of what makes it feel like ‘Iron Man’ from the movies. Other than that it seems to be a pretty average shooter.
Different games are different- there’s no real standard. Some games certainly require Move controllers (like Iron Man, and any given rhythm action game). Some play fine with the standard PS4 controller, but offer ‘enhanced’ play with the Move bits- No Man’s Sky and Skyrim VR both fall into that category, and ditto for the ‘Aim’ gun controller (many FPS games utilize that, like Borderlands 2 VR). There are a few that don’t use the Move bits at all, but they’re probably somewhat rare- Rez Infinite is actually one of these, which is a little disappointing. All that said, the PS Store spells out explicitly for each game what’s required/enhanced/etc., so that’s nice.
You can get deals on this stuff. I picked up a full PSVR set (with 3 Move controllers, even) off FB Marketplace last fall for $150- the only reason I own it at all.
Thanks. I wonder about buying the package tho - with the PS5 just around the corner, it could be a waste for now… though any games released from July onward are supposed to be mandated compatible.
The Trinus VR to use it on PC seems a bit janky as well…
Oh, I absolutely agree, which is part of the reason I waited until I found a set that cheap (but at least around here, they come up regularly). Plus, I’ll admit, I find the lack of an analog stick on either of the Move controllers to be highly annoying and a terrible design flaw- the kludges the games have to use to get around that are crap. Word on the street is that’s getting fixed with the PS5 VR setup, but there’s nothing concrete. And I guess that’s the problem- there’s almost nothing concrete about the PS5VR that is out there. They’ve said there’ll be a new, better version… and that’s pretty much it. Not even a vague timeframe (and especially no games)- I really, really wouldn’t expect it at launch. Perhaps for the first anniversary of the console. That said, I think I saw somewhere (reddit? resetera?) that the existing PSVR will be usable on the PS5, but I can’t be arsed to go dig that up right now.
Interesting. So maybe it IS possible to get PSVR and play Half Life-Alyx?
I don’t think so, since Alyx needs tracked motion controllers.
it puts seated experiences that rely on gamepad input within your grasp.
I tried PSVR on PC via Trinus and janky is a great word to describe it. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Never got that to work after much trying.
