News PlayStation VR's Launch Lineup Is Legitimately Enormous
Like, properly huge
Y'know that feeling when you wake up in the morning and all of your troubles have melted away, only for them to come crashing back into your conscious like a nuclear bomb? Well, we just got a pang of that when we remembered that we've only reviewed four of PlayStation VR's launch titles – with another 25 or so to do. Ouch...
Hands On Playing Non-VR PS4 Games on PlayStation VR
Putting the Cinematic Mode through its paces
Without any shadow of a doubt, the biggest question we received after publishing our PlayStation VR review this week pertained to Cinematic Mode, the feature which allows you to play non-virtual reality games inside the headset on a simulated cinema screen. But what features can you use in this mode –...
Review Batman: Arkham VR (PS4)
Behind the mask
Rocksteady's never been shy depicting Batman as the mentally deranged individual that he so clearly is, and with the British studio back on development duties for this short virtual reality story, it's Bruce Wayne's busted psyche that once again takes centre stage. Batman: Arkham VR may only take you about an hour to see through, but...
Video Watch Us Become the Batman with PlayStation VR
Caped crusader
Batman: Arkham VR very much falls under the "experience" category rather than a full-fledged game, but how much would you pay to be the Dark Knight for an hour? Well, developer Rocksteady's charging $19.99/£15.99 for this, which certainly looks steep on the surface, but it's by far one of the best examples of virtual reality so far...
Review PlayStation VR Worlds (PS4)
A worldie?
No new hardware launch is complete without a minigame collection; PlayStation VR Worlds, however, is not your average Wii Sports knock-off. Developed by Sony's own London Studio, this is a hodgepodge package collating the half-dozen or so tech demos that the studio has concocted over the years. As such, while the compilation includes some...
Review Until Dawn: Rush of Blood (PS4)
Ghost train
The camp thrills of Supermassive Games' interactive horror Until Dawn elevated it to a status that few expected; the deliciously dumb drama out-Quantic Dreamed the real Quantic Dream, and the silly scare-fest still very much sits among the very best experiences that the PlayStation 4 has to offer. Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, a virtual...
News Sony Exploring the Possibility of Free PlayStation VR Games on PlayStation Plus
Nothing to share at this time, though
There's no question that the past couple of months have been kind to PlayStation Plus, with the lineup in September and October really taking a step back towards the series' very best days. But still there's a recurring sentiment that the service needs an overhaul, with the PlayStation 3 and Vita games becoming...
News Get Your Glow Sticks Ready for Hatsune Miku: VR Future Live
Punch the air
Pigtailed popstar Hatsune Miku will be gate-crashing the PlayStation VR party come 13th October, as SEGA has announced that Hatsune Miku: VR Future Live will launch alongside Sony's innovative new accessory.

News PlayStation VR Will Provide Some Headaches for People with HDR Displays
Time to change your cables
While we're technically under embargo, we can probably just about get away with saying that PlayStation VR's setup has some… Minor shortcomings. Hopefully the Sony Ninjas don't lynch us for typing that. Anyway, it's about to get more complicated if you have an HDR television, because the Processing Unit – which is...
News The Assembly Lines Up in Time for PlayStation VR Launch
Goin' underground
nDreams' narrative-driven sci-fi story The Assembly will be wheeled on to the PlayStation Store in time for the launch of PlayStation VR next week. The game – which plots the tale of two scientists working in a seedy underground facility – hopes to test your morality, as questions are raised about the motives of the...
News Resident Evil 7's VR Mode Will Be Exclusive to PlayStation VR for a Year

Video Watch Us Unbox PlayStation VR
Wide open spaces
Apparently, our previous article about this PlayStation VR unboxing video wasn't search engine optimised quite as well as the powers to be would like, so because there's nothing else going on today, we're republishing this under a better headline. Look, at least we're completely honest with you, eh?

Video PlayStation VR Comes with an Absurd Number of Cables
Spaghetti junction
We weren't going to do a PlayStation VR unboxing because tons of better websites with better camera gear already have that corner of the market on lock. But you know what? We were going to take the headset out of its box anyway, so why not film it? We're gunning for the rudimentary, hobbyist sector of YouTube with this clip. In...
News PlayStation VR's Demo Disc Kinda Sucks in Europe
But America's is amazing
PlayStation VR headsets are being sent to the press as we type, and that means that unboxings are beginning to appear on YouTube. And one thing that's been catching a lot of attention is the difference between the demo disc in North America and
Soapbox I Played PlayStation VR for Over an Hour and Didn't Chunder
Sammy's not seasick
Until this week, my time with PlayStation VR had been very limited. The longest I'd probably spent strapped in to the headset in one session was maybe 15 minutes, so I hadn't really had an opportunity to test how it feels to play virtual reality in extended sittings. Luckily, I was invited up to Rebellion on Wednesday, where I...
News DriveClub VR Races at a Reduced Rate for Seasoned Veterans
Just a drifter
DriveClub VR is, for all intents and purposes, a brand new game. But those of you who've been supporting the racer since the very beginning will be able to hop into the driver's seat at a reduced rate, Sony has announced. The platform holder's discounting the game to €19.99/$19.99 on the PlayStation Store, if you bought the main...
News Sacked Man United Manager Louis van Gaal Wanted to Bring VR to Old Trafford
LV(R)G
As the launch of PlayStation VR lurches ever closer, it's interesting to think about where this technology is headed. And while many are focusing on the games for now, it's perhaps worth remembering that the tech has advantages in other sectors – like health and education, for example. Case in point: Louis van Gaal, the former manager of...
News Horror Here They Lie Departs in Time for PlayStation VR Launch
All aboard
Here's your spooky PlayStation VR horror title: Here They Lie has been confirmed for a 13th October release – and you may want to reinforce your underwear before strapping yourself into this madworld because it looks completely f**ked. The game – by the brilliantly named Tangentlemen – has been incubated by Sony Santa Monica, and if...
Feature PlayStation VR Has the Power to Elicit Real-World Reactions
Don't look down
There are two things that make virtual reality extra impressive: scale and physical reactions. As we've said so many times, you really need to wear the headset to understand just how affecting these assets are, but we also appreciate that it's not easy for everyone to get eyes-on time with the device. As such, we've already tried to...

Team restructuring around new projects
Sony San Diego's not the only team in the platform holder's stable to sadly lose staff this week, as London Studio has also been struck by a round of layoffs.

News Promising PlayStation VR Exclusive Farpoint Will Be Enhanced by PS4 Pro
Starship super
We've played PlayStation VR exclusive Farpoint on a standard PlayStation 4 console and it looks freakin' good – but it'll look even better on the PlayStation 4 Pro.

Hands On PlayStation VR Continues to Impress in Epic Preview Session
Resident Evil! Batman VR! Farpoint! More!
We've been lucky enough to play PlayStation VR on several occasions now, and the novelty's yet to wear off. Granted, we haven't yet had to cope with cables, plugs, and calibration – a real-world headache that could significantly reduce the thrill of entering a virtual space – but we're yet to walk away...
News Sony Reveals Extensive Tokyo Game Show 2016 Line Up
Not long now
Okay, so maybe the Tokyo Game Show doesn't quite bring in the hits like E3 or even Gamescom, but all the same, it's a big event for those primarily interested in what Japan has to offer. With this year's show now only a couple of weeks away, publishers are starting to ramp up the hype by announcing what they have in store - and Sony's...
News PlayStation Move Is About to Make a Big Comeback
And not just in Pog form
Who would have thought, when the Kinect was tearing up the charts and the PlayStation Move seemed like a lousy waggle copy-cat, that it'd be Sony's motion controller that would have a longer lifespan? Only today, this author played a handful of titles for preview with the illuminating wand – it's definitely on the cusp of...

A bit of a boob

The feature will be incorporated as part of a free update, which will allow you to "enjoy" the Event Paradise, Gravure Paradise, and Photo Paradise modes in virtual reality. In...
News Ride in Until Dawn: Rush of Blood's Rollercoaster of Death
Clown head
B*Witched and the Red Hot Chili Peppers may have sang about rollercoasters of love, but PlayStation VR exclusive Until Dawn: Rush of Blood's ghost train is a little rickety for romance. PlayStation Access has uploaded a pretty funny video of them checking out Supermassive Games' rails shooter, which includes ample screaming and...
News DriveClub VR's New Tracks Will Be Added to Base Game for Free
A thank you to fans
There's been something unexpectedly sweet about the closure of Evolution Studios. Don't get us wrong, it's bitterly disappointing to see the developer shut down – but we're used to these kinds of stories ending badly. In the case of the Runcorn-based company, though, the team's been kept together by Codemasters, it's getting a...
Gamescom 2016 DriveClub VR Looks Really Bloody Good on PS4

Gamescom 2016 Tour Sony's Booth with PlayStation Exec Jim Ryan
Guess who's back?
This is becoming an annual tradition now, isn't it? Sony may not be holding a press conference at Gamescom for the second year running, but at least we can rely on an uber-awkward Jim Ryan tour. German social media team Inside PlayStation has uploaded this lengthy look at everything that the Japanese giant's got on display this...

News Sony's Bringing Tons of PS4, PlayStation VR Games to Gamescom 2016
Resident Evil 7! Titanfall 2! PlayStation VR!
It's going to be a strange Gamescom yet again.

Of course, the platform holder...

News Does PlayStation VR Require 60-Square-Feet of Space?
Space race
Reports around the web suggest that PlayStation VR won't function unless you have 60-square-feet of space to spare – but are they accurate?

Video Is the PS4 Powerful Enough for Virtual Reality?
Yes, but it's not perfect

News Sony Changes Stance on PlayStation VR Controller Support
Move aside
Sony's still very much prone to bloopers as well, as it mucked up its messaging on PlayStation VR controller support this week. Those of you with sharp memories may recall the statement that it sent to Eurogamer.net, stressing that all virtual reality games will support the DualShock 4. Apparently that's not quite the case – it
News New Balls, Please! PS4 Finally Serves Up Some Tennis
You can't be serious?
Tennis, one of the most popular sports in the world, is sorely underrepresented in the video game space.

News PlayStation VR's About to Make Your PS4 Box Art Messy Again

E3 2016 Here They Lie Is a Psychological PlayStation VR Exclusive
Looks weird
You know what genre really works in virtual reality? Horror.

Well, kind of
We were among the disappointed fans when we found out that DICE's Star Wars Battlefront wouldn't have dogfights between X-Wings and TIE Fighters among the stars while taking down Star Destroyers and Corellian Corvettes.

Hands On Feeling Our Way Through Blind on PlayStation VR
Who turned out the lights?
There were a pretty substantial number of games at PAX East that implemented virtual reality: some used the plethora of headsets for gimmicks, some to generate unique experiences, and some as a framing device for titles that would be less interesting if they were made in the traditional way. Italian dev Tiny Bull Studios'...
