Star Wars Battlefront PS4 VR Version Will Showcase the Allure of VR, Sony Says

"Battlefront is going to be one of those games that will really show gamers what it means to be in the world of VR."

[Thatguy-310]

Doubt it'll be a fill out game. It'll be some sort of "experience "

[WeAreLegion]

So, podracing confirmed?

[Aenea]

I hope Fighter Squadron! And way more modes than in the current game!

[badz149]

I trust Sony on VR but I don't really trust EA on this. call me paranoid but EA doesn't have the best track records! I think they will ruin it in one way or another

[kraenk12]

I agree, especially since it doesn't seem it's DICE who are working on the game!

[Pillsbury1]

There is so much they could do with VR and Star Wars: pod racing, rogue squadron, slave leia voyeur.
The possibilities!

[DopeTech]

I think this whole VR thingy isn't worth it, It'll just be a gimmick for around 2 - 3 years then after that It'll go down just like 3DTVs and other stuff like that...

[traumadisaster]

In part I agree cause you do have a similar feeling of get this crab off my sweaty head and an eye/nausea twinge.

While gimmicky,like 3dtv,move,kinect,wii,psye the effect is really really cool.

Where the other things don't pull you back, vr can be good enough to crave more. But it's not good enough for a full time replacement of drakes, farcry, etc.

[kraenk12]

No one wants that and no one expect it to be that as well.

[Mr_cheese]

I beg to differ, but honestly, until we have had a good year using the technology, how can any of us judge so soon?

VR is what I wanted in gaming from a kid, and for me, this feels like what I imagined... Nothibg like a sweaty head or a crab (you may want to get that checked out). But I'm more than willing to bet this will be a success.

As for 3D, it may not be used much in gaming or even too much in film releases but every new TV has it built in, so I would hardly call it a fail, since it will eventually be in every home as tvs are upgraded which means eventually it may be due a 2nd coming

[Lamboomington]

You probably haven't tried it.

Don't compare VR and 3D, the two are completely different. Staring at an image on a screen that pops out vs being put right into the game world.

The latter is simply much more compelling.

[GNCFLYER]

Its no gimmick. The world your standing in now, when you strap that headset on you will be in a different 3d 360 digital world. VR is amazing. Cant wait for kiosk to pop up so people can try it out.

[jukins]

Maybe you'reyou're right but so far the vr "gimmick" has proven to be pretty popular so far even at the top end units are selling out as fast as they're made available. Variety of content is what will help this become more than a gimmick even if it's something as simple as using the theatre mode. Guess we'll just have to see

[mogwaii]

This will be just another little arcadey experience like all the other games, dont have a expectations because you'll be let down.

[MasterCornholio]

Lightsaber?

[Juiceid]

I hope this is a launch title.

[traumadisaster]

Is it a timed exclusive? I would imagine. I'm not sure if I go rift or ps4, I have a capable system and don't yet have a ps4. But if this is true exclusive I would break down for ps4 earlier than anticipated.

[jb227]

They've been presenting it as a full exclusive...seems like PSVR gets Battlefront VR & PCVR gets that lightsaber deal they showed off at GDC?

Could end up timed, but for now they've specifically called it a full PSVR exclusive.
