Some of these look incredible! I can't wait for the resolution upgrade, cooler and lighter headset, eye tracking implementation in game - the list goes on..

If Switchback is anywhere close to as good as Rush of Blood - and given it's by the same devs, it's probably even better - this alone could be a system seller.

darthv72557d ago

i havent played rush of blood but I hear lots of people say its good. Kind of sucks og games wont work with this new one unless they are remade by the devs. Id love to play more of the og games on this vr as it rectifies many of my woes.

SullysCigar557d ago

It's not so much remade, but they need to take the time to patch it. Pistol Whip is a good example, which I happened to play last night for the first time in a while. SO much fun!

CBaoth556d ago

zero chance Switchback is a system seller. No way an on-rails shooter becomes a tentpole IP for VR. Too niche. Maybe if Sega had chosen to reboot House of the Dead in VR instead of wasting it on the Switch but I doubt anyone wants to spend north of $1100 for ANY light gun game.

Vits557d ago (Edited 557d ago )

Sad that I'm more interested in the PS VR 2 features that those games advertise than in the games themselves. That said Tentacular is a solid experience on other platforms, albeit short on content it is pretty fun. And having another "console" Crossfire title this time being a PS exclusive is at the very least funny.

masterfox557d ago

550 plus taxes device and with this kind of games ?, yeah Sony you just shoot yourself in the foot.

SullysCigar557d ago

When did they announce the price?

What's wrong with the games? There are literally AAA games there, first party, third party and smaller games. Looks awesome and varied to me!

MrNinosan557d ago

They announced it 2-3 hours ago.

SullysCigar557d ago

^ thanks guys! So console-level prices, like they warned. That sucks.

DAY ONE!

jonny897557d ago

They know it is a niche product. Not meant for the masses. In fact PSVR1 was profitable for them with less than 10 million units sold.

Petebloodyonion557d ago

You have to understand that the games shown here are aside from the ones previously announced like Resident Evil 8 VR, Horizon Call of the wild, etc.
It's actually a better launch compared to the original PSVR (Batman VR and Rush of Blood were the better games)
Here we have a good diverse line-up.

MrNinosan557d ago

All those 11 games are just the new games confirmed today. We alreadybhave plenty of games announced since before.

The lineup is way better than expected, but I will most likely be stuck in No Man Sky again.

Wow Switchblade is a nice surprise!
Rush of Blood was a real gem on PSVR and the only title that managed to properly convey the feeling of roller coaster.

SullysCigar557d ago

Ikr, same for me. Rush of Blood is insane. There are games literally focused solely on the roller coaster experience, or shooting, or horror that come nowhere close to Rush of Blood in any of those fields.

ooquis557d ago

If we get AAA game support like GT7,GTA 5,RE 2,3,4,7,8, half life Alex and 100% pc support, then I'll fork out the cash. No way I'm playing these tech demos anymore.

SullysCigar557d ago

I'll make the occasional exception, but that's more or less how I feel.

RE8 is confirmed and I'd be amazed if they didn't update RE7 for PSVR2. We already know RE4 Remake has compatibility, too, just waiting to see more on that one.

GT7 HAS to happen! GT Sport was awesome, but way short on features and content. I know Polyphony wanted more at the time, but PS4 was just too weak.

Half Life Alyx is HEAVILY rumoured and I honestly think GTAV is on its way too. It's too huge not to and they already tweaked it so much, it's a natural next step.

ooquis557d ago

After playing RE7 on psvr 1, all the other games didn't come close. You get good indie games like paper beast which I pray and hope gets an update but nothings like a AAA vr experience. Can't wait to play RE8 in VR.

Knushwood Butt557d ago

Does Paper Beast PS4 work on PS5 and PSVR in its current state? I couldn't get it to work.

The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR Is A Chilling Action Shooter For The PSVR2 - Skewed 'n Reviewed

Skewed and Reviewed have posted their review for the game and said that it is an engaging action game that fans of horror should enjoy.

Garethvk385d ago

Play it and you will likely have a fun time.

SullysCigar384d ago

He has no doubts about the game. It's a spam account, trying to build itself up with comments to have it's spam articles taken seriously. Just report it and ignore.

Switchback is a great game. The devs have acknowledged a graphical issue that they're working to address and that only affects some players (bizarrely!).

Garethvk384d ago

Thanks. I noted that after my reply when he said the same on another thread of mine. I reported it.

Neonridr384d ago

if you liked the first one you will like this one, it's more of the same. Graphics and controls are better. There is a little replayability if you want to go back and change your routes. It's not super deep and the story doesn't make much sense, but it's a fun game to play in spurts.
