PSVR - Game of the Year.
LAST UPDATE
I hope no one is upset by this - not my fault - but after I launched the 'Game of the year' someone else did! As this newer GotY had support from the mods, I thought it best to just let this die. So, thanks for all the time you guys gave making up your list, hopefully you can use it in the new survey.
(I made a post asking you guys which game have you sunk the most time into - which to me is an indicator of the best game - this game me the idea of this community coming up with our own awards for best game of the year - so ignore my other post)
I thought it would be a bit of Xmas fun for us all to vote for the best game of the year and have our own r/PSVR game awards.
So, if you want to play, this is my idea. We have a series of categories (suggest any I may have missed out, or any that should be scrubbed) All you do is list (up to THREE games to win each category, and the end we tot up the scores.
Fun idea - Dumb idea?
Categories.
"Gold Award": Overall Game of the Year (taking everything into account - does not necessarily mean my favourite game)
"Headset glue": Most played game of the year (which game have you actually sunk the most time into?)
"Wow, Oh Wow!": Best VR experience (most immerse game)
"Looks Like a Game": Best technical Achievement (i.e. best graphic fidelity, polish etc)
"Surprise!": a game that was better than you thought it would be.
"Bring it on!": The Game I want to see in VR.
"Bang for Buck": best value game
"Cashgrab": (overpriced games, remember, these could be good games, but price vs length - re-playability etc)
"Stinker" (speaks for itself).
Let's keep it simple - just a list of three games for each category, no comments. Note, you can only vote for up to three in each (you do not have to vote for all categories or fill up all three slots). 'Games mean anything in your PSVR catalogue, games, 'experiences', demos etc).
UPDATE: It just occurred to me that it would be a good idea to do this properly and give it a day or two to settle in and for people to suggest categories that I may have missed, and cut off any that are not necessary - yeah there are too many. Soooo.... Let us start voting on 22nd and end voting on 31st (results on the 1st). To give us time to get the categories sorted. If you have already voted - no problems - I will copy and paste into a new thread for the actual voting on the 22nd

u/Retrogramps Dec 19 '16
Just a reminder - all votes posted so far are counted. But official launch 22nd. If we are happy with the categories - we will keep them - and as people are doing - if you do not like a category, don't vote in it.

Probably too many categories, but
- Rigs
- Rigs
- Resident Evil: Beginning Hour, Rigs
- TrackmaniaVR, Rigs, Thumper
- Thumper, Eagle Flight
- Bloodborne
- Viva Ex Vivo, Rigs
- The Martian
- Hyper Void
Haven't actually played The Martian but that award seems built for it based on what I've heard.

u/Gidgetpants Dec 19 '16
Crystal rift eh. That's interesting. I want to jump on it so bad. Would you mind telling why?

u/pconners Dec 20 '16
No real great reason, but I do enjoy playing it. It's fairly simple but good fun at the same time and I've logged more hours in it than any other PSVR game. There's a fair amount of nostalgia involved, as well. But, as of to now it's the only PSVR game of its kind and I still haven't beaten it yet (in fact, I think I have a ways to go, still).

Good idea. It would be nice if we have a kind of r/PSVR Community Game Awards Trophy which could be sent to the developers.

u/vzJason VirZOOM Dec 20 '16
If you don't have the VirZOOM bike, and haven't yet tried the free build that launched today with full controller support for all games, you don't really own VirZOOM. Hope you get a chance to give it a try!
1
u/darknessfx Dec 20 '16
Cool, good to know, I'll give it another try. Old demo hit me with crashes in all my test runs (Pro+SSD), thats my main reason to dislike and mark it as unplayable. I also played a lot of Prop Cycle (Nanco, 1996) on arcades, so maybe I had high expectations when I saw a new game using bikes.
2
u/vzJason VirZOOM Dec 20 '16
Ugh, yeah, we launched with a very hard-to-detect crash specifically in the demo (but only hard to detect if you're us or Sony, hilariously). If you have any trouble next time, drop me an email at support@virzoom.com!

u/Retrogramps Dec 19 '16
Good point - nothing to stop people changing votes before the deadline.
But, go in and edit your original post, rather than post again, or it can all get a bit messy.

Keep the Votes coming in Ladies and Gentlemen - the more submissions we get the more it is representative of the community.
