hd8bit: After well over a year of waiting, we have finally been given a launch date. On October 13th, 2016, we will be playing with our new PSVR headsets! I am super excited, so you can imagine how I felt when I found out I was going to get to try it out before that! Sony announced at E3 that they would be traveling around the country (and world), giving fans a chance to try out this greatly anticipated hardware. After looking online, I found that the truck would not be coming to my city, but the local PlayStation Rep would be demoing the headset at a local Best Buy! Turns out, he will be at the Best Buy the last weekend in June and every Friday and Saturday in July! The first demo was starting at 1:00 on Friday, so naturally, I took a lunch break and was in line by 1:10. I was handed two laminated pieces of paper. A menu of sorts. The first explained that some people may get sick in VR and that if I was one of them I could raise my left hand at any time and they would remove the headset. The second listed five “experiences” to choose from. I knew immediately the one I wanted to try… After talking to some cool people in line-it was finally my turn!
The talented music maker discusses her process, challenges and, of course, magic!
Sony owns a fair few iconic franchises - many dating right back to the original PlayStation. But while we’re pretty familiar with the likes of ongoing series such as God of War, Horizon, and Gran Turismo, there are plenty of PlayStation franchises that haven’t seen the light of day in a long time. So in this video, we’re going to be taking a look at the status of PlayStation’s many IPs, and checking in on when we last heard from them.
Indeed. We hear this “underutilized” talk as if every old franchise should have a comeback or reboot.
When new IPs start looking like Concord, you can't blame people for wanting another Resistance or Killzone instead.
J&D and Resistance are good ones. As much as I love these, though, I'm not sure they would payoff without an enormous marketing push. Younger gamers today do not have taste and the older gamers that would appreciate these might not be enough. But yeah, I would day 1 Resistance.
Well that’s just the consequence of consistently producing new IPs isn’t it. Not all studios can be or want to be like polyphony digital who made gran turismo all the time.
Here lies The Infamous Series; once a shining beacon of free flying, lighting bolt sniping, and wire riding amazing gameplay, it has been laid to rest and be forgotten for what seems like forever despite being loved by millions. Plot next to Wipeout across from NBA Jam.
Still baffling they cancelled Twisted Metal, Factions 2 and Spider-Man Multiverse LS game but thought Concord looked good enough.
Ape Escape, Parappa / Lammy, Gravity Rush, good times. Always hoping for them to make a return, or at least similar type games, such as the newly-announced Astro Bot, but one game isn't enough. Bring back the joyfulness of the 90's era of gaming.

lol, "PS$!"
I'd love to try it but I doubt I'll feel like driving to any of the locations they have for me. Living in one of the biggest cities in the US I really thought there'd be more locations.
I wanna go to a kiosk and try it
I tried Battlezone last week. I want to go back and try some of the others
If you haven't tried VR yet, you will definitely love it. I just bought a Vive for my PC and it's awesome but the lack of AAA titles is a drawback. I also have a PS4 and will definitely be considering the PSVR next Spring after I hear some feedback from gamers.
