Have you pre-ordered a PlayStation VR 2? Here are some of the most exciting PSVR2 games to come after the launch window.
Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord ties into the new movie with its Frozen Empire update, out today for Meta Quest and PSVR 2.
Talk about great timing as this is a fun game and it will be interesting to see how the movie content is brought into the action.
As is they're coins down a sofa, some announced games seem to just disappear. So just where are these missing VR games?
The article is more concerned with where the announced games are. Not about VR demand.
Even with my thoughts on Facebook, they did supposedly sell over 20 million headsets. Not that I think that many are still using their Quest headsets. But even if it's only 10 million users and 5 million are interested and able to play GTA SA, that's still a lot of consumers and a lot of sales.
It just comes down to why these developers are taking so long. Is something like GTA canceled? Is it being held back for a future event? It's not like there's competition in the stand alone space. And now that I have a Quest 3 myself, I'm wondering as well what's the hold up.
For GTA SA
Meta made a lot of budget cuts and cancelled a fair few exclusive game contracts we don't know if this was cancelled but it's possible and this was announced prior to the release of GTA definitive edition which was slammed and eventually moved to be supported in house by Rockstar.
Since then we have just gotten the mobile versions a d they are actually the best way to play the definitive edition unfortunately the consoles never got a retrospective patch to implement the improvements they made in the mobile games.
But for VR we know a VR mode was found in the definitive editions game files thanks to data miners so seeming it was meant to be using the definitive edition as a base given its ue4 that makes sense. And the mode is there right now (some Polish may be required still) I would assume this is ready to go but meta got cold feet and cancelled it given the games reputation.
I do hope Rockstar forge ahead and still just launch it anyway on psvr2 as it's a game I've loved since day 1 on PS2 I'll even tolerate the de version to get it in VR
Out of the list of games provided Lo-Fi looks the most interesting to me. It has a retro-futuristic look. I would have liked to see more gameplay, but what was there piqued my interest that I will be looking for more information about the game.
Aliens VR a shooter in that universe is something I’d love to play, unfortunately no video. Hopefully there’ll be something to show soon.
Behemoth, for some reason puts me in the mind of a first person Shadow of the Colossus, shame there wasn’t any real gameplay.
Firewall Ultra looks great, I never really got a chance to fully get into the first game due to the hit and miss tracking of the PSVR camera.
I see myself this generation spending more money on PSVR2 games rather than flat PS5 games and I’m okay with that.
Lo-Fi definitely looks really interesting. I would actually *really* love to see room scale (which PSVR2 can nicely allow with a the 15 foot tiny cable and self contained tracking - nevermind how the eye tracking could be used here) versions of games *like* Lucas Arts' Monkey Island (series) and original Sierra type (King's Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest, Leisure Suit Larry) games. I believe these types of games would have endless potential/life in VR and were unwittingly made to be the absolute perfect fit for VR exploration and immersion. So many different worlds/eras/stories to enter. There is just so much that can be done, and this is a genre of game that I can see myself in love with for decades and decades due to VR arriving at this level/accessibility. While I like a lot of them, I hope developers do not feel forced to make all things VR about "thrill" experiences.
