Delightful I wonder if VR is supported not that it would add a great deal to the experience (like the recent Humanity game), either way this looks neat.
When I saw the price I said something that Justin would be proud of. I too was expecting psvr after Trover saves the universe which was pretty good but I had to mute Justin after a while as it is just too grating. Without VR I won't be playing this at any price
No problem and it is good that PS check trophy support because I had my doubts, a game recently released called "Math World" has a trophy for playing a mini game 3 times and it was unobtainable at release. It even has the very rare and much prized counter (which should be mandatory) so quite how it was overlooked one can only guess. NB. Math world VR has been patched so the plat is now obtainable.
Nice. Will play Sniper elite, Ascent and Snow runner with which I may or may not be singing "I like trucking" whilst I play. Might try Ww z and Circus electrique.
Already have It Takes Two which is an awesome game. Pretty good month imo.
It isn't just Sony's future but the industry as a whole, I wouldn't be surprised if in (quite) a few years we have a repeat of 1983 only the reasons will be quite different (forced expensive subs to play games etc). Hopefully Nintendo can save us again.
I know I'm clutching at straws but I wonder if this is the Rockstar VR project that has been mentioned. Would be great if this was a hybrid (flat and VR) title.
@get2sammyb It is getting very juicy. I bet Phil is wishing that he released Redfall on PS5 now as it certainly would have helped their case and god knows they need it.
I still remember the farce with the incendiary grenade in Resistance. It really annoyed me and later insomniac made it free but only for the NA region which fuelled my rage even more.
I suppose I should let it go after more than a decade but it still pees me off, along with that bloody 10k killing machine trophy.
@Tr3mmOr I watched the trailer earlier and immediately pressed the mute button but then I do that for a lot of trailers that feature music that is not to my taste. If that music is in the game I will be avoiding it.
I'm shocked, shocked I tell you. @BusyOlf Probably so Sony can't send a "look what's coming to PlayStation" tweet after the Xbox showcase. You can imagine those Microsoft boffins at the meeting, "right how are we going to stop Sony do these tweets"...."I know we will have a 24 hour embargo". "Oh Phil you are a genius" shouts the entire room. Meanwhile Phil has a smug grin on his face (you know the one).
@BeerIsAwesome That is the problems with these sub services, best not to buy any games ever again. I assume you won't be playing the Wine making game...there is a beer making game out there so fingers crossed for next month.
Splendid lineup. As for limited selection, PS Access video has more titles namely A hat in Time...which I've just purchased so you all can thank me for that.
Interested to see the AC VR game and hopeful it comes to PSVR2 as well as Quest. Trust it has a bit of scalability so it doesn't just look like (another) Quest port.
Would also like to see a Far Cry or Splinter Cell VR game, Sony should grease Ubisoft's palms.
When the Vision Pro UI appeared I immediately thought "the Vita isn't dead, long live the Vita". I can see this product only helping PSVR2 as people will say "We can't spend 4K (after taxes), lets settle for the Sony experience instead". (Possibly ) This product is a threat to Quest Pro if anything which probably explains the recent Meta showcase which was much more focused on games than the last one.
@colonelkilgore Yeah diablo isn't my bag either, I played the D3 on PS3 so it has been that long since the previous instalment so I'm happy for fans that D4 turned out well but I won't be playing it.
Have they said how much it will be on Steam? Currently £70 on PSN and considering the retailer/storefront percentage cut it should actually be more expensive on Steam. 😜
@kyleforrester87 Yet Bungie (probably) rubber stamped Fairgame$$$ Probably aggressive monopolisation of player time and money over game quality. Time will tell but I think being cynical is the correct attitude to all this GaaS.
@thefourfoldroot1 Positive, it says so right on the blog, worded as "full main story" Free as well.
I do agree that all this "mode" talk seems unnecessary double speak and I can only think they say it to avoid the fact that it isn't 100% playable in VR (i.e. Mercenaries, possible dlc etc...).
Shockingly bad especially for VR2, the only saving grace for both flat and VR was the near total absence of first party studios. Helldivers needed a VR mode.
@thefourfoldroot1 Don't quite understand your re4 Vr mode comment, it is the whole game so similar to village Vr. Ps. Fingers crossed the trophies aren't locked out this time.

Bulletstorm VR or RE4 VR.

There is only one game mode.

@Nades It does which I'm surprised at as there are relatively few trophies. Seems quite an easy platinum...famous last words.

Looking forward to Deaths Door as well.
Good month, again.

Shooting people in the nether regions, in Sniper Elite 5.
Hours of fun, possibly not for the whole family though.

Re: Starfield, Redfall Exclusivity 'Powerful Evidence' Against Xbox's Activision Buyout, Claims FTC
@Americansamurai1 My vote would be for Victor Meldrew. I mean what Victor says is pretty much what we are all thinking.
As for Bethesda, the biggest loss was to PS VR as I think there was about five or so PSVR games. No upgrade for Skyrim VR is pretty sad.
Re: Need for Speed Unbound Hits EA Play This Thursday
I feel the need, the need for a 97p for a month of EA Play deal.
Re: You'll Need Marvel's Spider-Man 2's Digital Deluxe Edition for Those Extra PS5 Suits

Re: PSVR2's Arashi: Castles of Sin Is the Virtual Reality Ghost of Tsushima You've Been Dreaming Of

Re: What Time Is Ubisoft Forward 2023?

Re: For Some Reason, Sony Saved PSVR2 Exclusive Firewall: Ultra for the Future Games Show
It is bizarre, I guess it is so when gamers say "we don't want VR in our showcases" Sony can turned round and say it wasn't us, it was them.
Hard to come to any other conclusion.
Now if Sony only they had the same distaste for GaaS.
Re: Random: Thought PSVR2 Was Expensive? Apple's Vision Pro Is Here to Hold Your Beer

I still call them Marathon and the less said about Starburst the better.
Re: Poll: Was This Sony's Best PlayStation Showcase Yet?
@thefourfoldroot1 Positive, it says so right on the blog, worded as "full main story"
Free as well.

Re: Poll: Was This Sony's Best PlayStation Showcase Yet?

Ps. Fingers crossed the trophies aren't locked out this time.
