Take a look at this fun little video from Now This, it kind of shows the importance of Star Wars Battlefront VR
Who doesn't want more Star Wars VR?
I totally agree XXanderXX. I have PSVR and my brother in law has oculus and it's fun going back and forth talking about it with him but I really wish all VR games were multiplat (at least until the install base it higher all around). When it came to Kinect vs. Move I understood the competition because they offered very different experiences, but (in my own personal experience) PSVR/ Oculus/ Vive are pretty much the same so I wish everything came out for all of them so as many people as possible to experience it.
Give us some Rogue Squadron or better yet how about some X-Wing vs Tie Figther goodness - reimagined in VR. I for one would love to play as an empire trainee in a tie fighter. Who WOULDN'T???
That would be absolutely insane if just like Resident Evil 7 you could play the entire single player of the next Battlefront in VR!!!!
Especially with the new controller (I forget the name of it but the one that's for Farpoint). RE7 really proves that you can make a fully controllable first person shooter for vr without the need for the whole "point to an area and teleport to it" control scheme.
@Ron_Danger
""point to an area and teleport to it" control scheme."
Which games are those? Only one i have played like that is Batman.
@Utalkin2me
There's a few on oculus that I've played but they were just demos. One of them (I don't remember the name of it) is developed by Epic Games and it's a shooter in a subway station. It's awesome, I just wish you had full movement.
I think the Final Fantasy 15 vr game is point to move also.
Edit: heres the Epic Games demo:

Here's FF15 vr: https://m.youtube.com/watch...
More and more triple A games are coming people! VR IS ABOUT TO TAKE OFF BIG TIME! more psvr sale, we will see next Fallout series,Call of Duty series,Battlefield series and tons more
I'd be down with even a simple Jedi training game where you use the force to move things/ solve puzzles and also a light saber trainer where you deflect lasers and fight droids leading up to actual light saber battles. It would totally work with the Move controllers (it would work fine with oculus touch, just wouldn't feel as natural since the Touch controllers are more set up for shooting guns than holding swords based on controller angle design).
The lightsaber games should have come out when the move was released. Even more so now!
@juiceid
I don't disagree with you, but I'm glad they didn't come out with one back then. The PS3 tracked the move controllers 1:1 but there was slight lag with fast movement which would've been a huge problem with fast light saber fights. That problem is gone with the PS4. The 1:1 tracking and zero lag makes now the perfect time for it.
Back in August, I experienced something I knew was pretty special, something I know has been every Star Wars fan’s wet dream since they first saw A New Hope on Betamax.
its free but not for everyone with a psvr. crimmins got that wrong. you need battlefront. its not like the jackal vr mission in IW.
yep, that should be clarified in the title. Not all PSVR owners can get access to this. That being said, I definitely own Battlefront. So I will be checking this out this evening.
That's why I paid $12 for Battlefront on black Friday psn sale. PSVR is the only reason I made this purchase.
You can use PSVR with any game, right? I thought it has 3 screen settings or whatever, with one being IMAX-esque.
You can, but with the game's that' don't have support its only a simulated big screen in front of you. Not actual VR.
@ibrake4naps, if you hold the PS button on the controller, the option comes up on the right hand side (possibly only if you have the VR headset turned on) for you to choose the screen size.
The small screen stays in front of the headset wherever you turn, so it's nice to watch a film while laying down. The medium one is the standard size and the large screen is HUGE - you have to turn your head to see the far left and right of the screen, like being in the front row at the cinema.
Really interested to see if Criterion gets on a full VR game. I really enjoyed this mission, and think they could do a whole lot more with this demo
Tried this and they need to release a full game! Trench runs, flying A, B, X, and Y wings, taking on AT-ATs and Star Destroyers! Do it Criterion!
The VR mission is, ehmm, okay. It's amazing to be in an X-Wing for (virtual) reals! But I hoped the mission would be more or longer, or would have more than one. I should have known tho of course, it's just a teaser of sorts, but I want more, MORE!
We go hands-on with the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront Rogue One: X-Wing VR Mission that's exclusive to PS VR from the makers of Burnout.
Can't wait to try it. Hopefully there will be more missions in the near future.
Have any of you tried the VR mission for Infinite Warfare? It's very short but awesome. I can't wait to try this one for Battlefront. In the future, hopefully we get full games based on content like this. The really cool thing is the VR add ons for these games are free.
Shame EA is making a Disney IP based story exclusive to only one HMD unit , it should be available to all HMD units .
Shame .
Not really sure I agree that it's shameful.
I mean this is a thank you to people who already bought battlefront for ps4.
And its free. How can you call that a shame?
So what of those that bought Battlefront on other platforms or what of those other HMD that are available and the one to arrive next year. So basically screw half of those that bought the game and those future sales .
As someone who adored X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter back then, I can't imagine how this must feel in VR. Think I'm gonna tear up.
Unfortunately we will never see another Star Wars flight simulator of the same quality as X-Wing, Tie Fighter, and X-Wing vs Tie Fighter.
Controllers don't have enough buttons to make the same kind of game. Literally every button on the keyboard did something in those games. So unless they make a PC only version, the consoles can never really live up to that scale of gameplay. Its sad too. Tie Fighter is my favorite game of all time. I would seriously give my third nut for a new one of the same quality.
Every flight based Star Wars game since then has been disappointing because it just feels like a watered down attempt.
I agree...playing this with a flight stick back then was glorious. You're probably right..today a big franchise like this will always try to appeal to the casuals.
Shame it's just "a Mission", I was hoping for the VR experience across the base game. But I guess thus is beter than nothing.
Another ******* Playstation exclusive! At this point it's taking the piss, and this way they'll eventually tear up the whole gaming industry!
