What games / experiences should I use to showcase the Index to someone who already has PSVR?

Question/Support

I have some friends coming over who own PSVR but they want to see what the Index can do. What should I show them that would impress them, given that they already have access to multiplatform VR games like Beat Saber, etc? I plan on showing them The Lab and HL:A. What else would impress PSVR owners? Thanks!

Edit: thanks to everyone for the suggestions. Turns out all I needed was The Lab and HL:A to blow their freaking minds haha

Google Earth VR. Before they arrive, find and save their home locations in the menu then you can let them fly around their houses/apartment blocks and then take them to street view which is equally as impressive. Then ask them if there’s anywhere they would like to visit on the planet. Minds will be blown.

I forgot to mention: a lot of towns and villages aren't 3D rendered yet but street view should still work.

As a person coming from PSVR to index, maybe pavlov to see a good multiplayer shooter that makes use of the superior controllers.

But in terms of display quality you could choose anything. I noticed the difference most in rec room, since it looks like a potato on PSVR.

You should also tell them to expect the headset to be a lot heavier and less comfortable.

Nah the UI and controls of Pavlov is really questionable. Might be fun to mess around but definitely bad for showcasing Index.

I didnt have any issues honestly. It's the best example of showing what you dont get on PSVR, basically an actually good version of firewall zero hour.

If we’re talking about shooter games I’d go with PopulationOne. Not a realistic/hardcore game, but the climbing system showcases the grip functionality so well. Also the game has its system and UI polished.

I hear you. I'm still struggling with reliably reloading my weapon in that game

I mean there's nothing fundamentally different between the two. Controllers would be the main thing, I guess, so... Aperture Hand Lab?

I would show them the same thing as on PSVR to highlight differences.
