Housemarque's sublime Super Stardust HD was a flag bearer for 3D gaming on the PlayStation 3, so it stands to reason that it should get a PlayStation VR version, too. News has broken about this virtual reality edition via EB Games Australia's website – it'd be nice if Sony had said something about the release, wouldn't it?
"Pilot your star fighter and defend your planet once more, but this time jump into the cockpit and battle the alien invaders face-to-face," the blurb reads. "Get right down to the surface of the planet and the very centre of the action and fight using intuitive controls only possible with PlayStation VR: simply look to aim, then fire to destroy."
We're not sure how we feel about transforming the game into a cockpit first-person shooter, but it could be cool. And the blurb adds that the title's original modes will be included – enhanced for PlayStation VR. This one's carrying a $24.95AUD price point, which works out at around $18.45USD. Maybe a little bit steep, but it's not bad.
Also outed by EB Games Australia is Hustle Kings VR, the first-party pool sim which Sony loves porting to everything. This one will use both the DualShock 4 and PlayStation Move for controls, and will obviously enable you to line up your shots in virtual reality. It's up for pre-order at $24.95AUD as well, as is Until Dawn: Rush of Blood.
A couple of sneaky announcements there, then – at least it looks like there's going to be lots to play in virtual reality on launch day.

Super stardust was possibly the best ps3 game to utilise 3D in my opinion. So I'll definitely look at getting this on VR.

It sure was! It's the only reason I still use 3D from time to time. Now I think of it, it is a shame they don't add 3D features no more, who knows how good it could look on better hardware?!
I'm so stoked Stardust is coming to PS VR, those are the type of games that can easily justify my PS VR purchase just by tweaking how I view the regular game a bit. Excellent news! Hustle Kings makes sense as well, maybe they'll re-introduce Home too: I feel Home was ahead of its time and could be a smash hit in combination with VR.
I thought I hadn't dreamt it lol. Would love Resogun VR as well.
Well definitely be getting Super Startdust for VR, and i hope the original is somehow add for VR too.
Super Stardust Ultra wasn't made by Housemarque
