Do a Barrel Roll in Project Wingman: Frontline 59 on PS5, PSVR2

**** yes! Time to dust off my PS5. This should be excellent.

Only time I almost got sick on the PSVR was doing a barrel roll on the Eve game. It was a literal stomach lurch!

!!!CAUTION!!!
Just to be clear, only the 6 new missions are playable on PS VR2!
All other missions and game modes can only be played in "flat screen mode".
Neither the game's description, trailers or the PlayStation Blog article are clear in communicating that to the costumer.

@ThaBEN
Added to that it is just terribly made, blurry as f*** by all accounts. Avoid for now according to most reviews. Seems they’ve just tried to capitalise on the fact the PSVR2 sold well but has no flight games yet, so they rushed this mess out (by “they”, I should be fair and clarify there is only one dev).

If this is anything like Ace Combat im down. That last Ace Combat was so underrated. One of the funnest games in existence.

Erm, I think PushSquare is a bit behind here. As others have said, early VR reviews have already said the developer has released this in very poor quality and to avoid this until it gets patched / the game is improved.

Bit worrying when the readers know more than the news site!! 🤣🤣

Yeah, this clearly has misleading marketing and advertising on the PS Store:
It's described as: "...a high-octane VR flight action game..." & "...Experience everything from the original acclaimed Project Wingman from a thrilling new perspective..." This definitely makes it sound like the game is fully VR, along with it being included on PSVR2 trailers. It's disappointing to be sure and certainly not doing the PSVR2 any favours after other half-baked releases.

As people have said, avoid this if purely after a VR experience.
Welcome to the digital release only future were games are sold on false promises and refunds are rarely possible.

Let's hope that Ace Combat 8 is announced soon and is a 100% VR / Flat (a hybrid if you will) experience.

@Gooseman42 the way this has been released is an absolute joke. Hoping that there's a legitimate bug here given the whole original campaign is playable on PCVR but Sony really needs to pick up their QA practises.

Another game gone from 'day one' to 'deep sale only if it gets patched properly' - Sony are trying their best to kill PSVR2 by letting things of this quality be released - and by basically lying on the blog etc. about its VR credentials...

@maybemaybemaybe That’s the weird thing about this. I think it was pretty much assumed the entire game would be playable in PSVR2 as well.

Would’ve bought it anyway, but I can’t use my VR at the moment. So I’ll be waiting to see what they do with it.

Where is Aces of Thunder at?

@SoulChimera they unambiguously said that it would be playable in full: "If you go into battle with your PS VR2 as your flight helmet, you’ll feel the rush of combat across the entire game experience, too."

Gonna need an explanation from the devs on this, hope it's a good one haha.

It's an indy game made by one person. I assume it was too much work to convert the entire game to PS VR2 and they settled to make 6 mission for PS VR2 specifically and include the flat screen version of the game.

PROJECTILE BOKE THE GAME

@ThaBEN @thefourfoldroot1 Seems so many PSVR2 games are released in a unsatisfactory state lately (at least according to PSVR Without Parole). Switchback, Firewall Ultra, Green Hell, Hellsweeper and now this.

@Perturbator
Switchback & Firewall Ultra were inexcusable since those were console exclusives. The others could be the result of lazy ports.
Maybe when the Quest 3 is released we might see a slight bump in visual quality for the multiplatform games.

Other than games we expected to be good to turn out terrible, there are also some games that we expected to be bad but turn out to be good. Unfortunately they do not get as much attention as they deserve.

Zombieland Headshot Fever Reloaded 2 is one of those titles which had a massive visual overhaul for PS VR2. Moss and Vacation Simulator are some others that pleasantly surprised me.

@Perturbator
Indeed. Not to mention games with broken trophies.

@thefourfoldroot1 Ahh bollocks. Was gonna be all over this. I'll wait for a patch.......hopefully. Thanks for the heads up.

How about regular ps5?

@CaptD Yeah, that is the dream. AC7 is amazing. I hope they rushed Project Wingman because they heard something about AC8 through the grapevines.

@maybemaybemaybe "you’ll feel the rush of combat across the entire game experience".
Oh, they have explained. You know you can play the rest of the game on a virtual screen inside your PSVR2, right? Right?

@Art_Vandelay like I said, keen to hear what they've actually got to say for themselves post-release about it. A lot of people were super keen on this and so far it's been blatantly falsely advertised.

@maybemaybemaybe Sorry if the irony got lost in translation, but that explanation was actually employed by one of the developers. I think I saw it in Without Parole's discord.

I totally agree, this is a ***** show.

@Art_Vandelay it hadn't missed the tone of the reply but I didn't think anyone had actually heard from them on it yet. If that's really their response it's disgraceful.

@maybemaybemaybe It sure is. I don't think it was an official public statement, but rather a twitter response or something along those lines.

But come to think about it, there's really no other possible way to get out of that. They clearly stated, "if you go into battle with your PS VR2 as your flight helmet, you'll feel the rush of combat across the entire game experience, too".

Right there, on the friggin' PlayStation blog post.
