PlayStation VR Space Shooter Frontier Debuts; Watch the Explosive Trailer

The game is developed with Unreal Engine 4 and sets in the space. Fast and explosive shooting experience is what the game is all about. You can watch the trailer below to feel the intensity. From the video, you can see the gameplay involves shooting, moving with jetpack, melee combat

Adrift with guns. I love space games but I'm thinking how do you do combat in space? One tear, one bullet hole to the suit and your potentially dead.

Would like to see more though to see what this team comes up with.

Another game that avoids the VR locomotion problem instead of solving it.

Basically moving around (as in the camera in an accelerated manner) is making people VR sick, and there is no good mechanic to do it either so you end up with teleports. This games works around it, by being in space.

When are devs going to fix that problem?

Errorist762828d ago (Edited 2828d ago )

Games like Farpoint already show how it can be solved. The problem is one needs a reference point and other, new types of movement controls which are already in development everywhere. It's mostly typical gamepad movement which causes problems.

Then there are developments like Samsung Entrim which aim to fake the brain in thinking the body really moves. Problem will be solved soon.

Errorist76:

Farpoint has not solved it. Latest report:

"Farpoint is well crafted and great fun. I also felt wildly sick after playing it. My first VR motion sickness. #e3"
https://twitter.com/dr_nic/...

"Farpoint is the VR shooter I wanted, but I didn’t want the VR sweats"

Sorry, it is NOT solved! Not the least bit!

I don't know why you just don't move with the standard controller and add head-tracking. Not every game needs real-world movement. In fact, mass majority of them just don't need it.

nveenio2828d ago

Aside from sickness issues, how do they solve the problem of a gun not being a rocket engine in the near vacuum of space and the weightlessness of orbit?

This game is not based only in space. As previously shown in other videos, you land on a planet where you have to do something and survive. Also, there is a peripheral gun made for this game that people who have played with it says is super awesome.

OB1Biker2828d ago

Maybe you mistake it for FarPoint which also looks great. I do hope the new controller gun can be used on both and other games too

BlackDoomAx2827d ago

Bulletproof spacesuit. Easy :)

ArchangelMike2829d ago

Looks like Adr1ft with guns. Hmm... makes me wonder if this is why Adr1ft isn't coming to PSVR anymore? Also, does this have multiplayer, it looks like there is another player being attacked, who is also attacking the character.

Eonjay2828d ago

I doubt this had anything to do with Adrift not coming to PSVR. Unfortunately, the problem is that Adrift got hammered across the board in reviews.

S2Killinit2824d ago

I think Adr1ft is coming to PS4, but its not VR capable (just yet?)

S2Killinit2828d ago

Do guns make noise in space?

Eonjay2828d ago

Sound waves need a medium to propagate through. Technically the answer is yes, A gun would still produce a sound wave in space. You just need air to hear it. Assuming your helmet is filled with air, I think you would be able to hear gun fire in space. Someone please correct me if I have mistaken.

Ark_2828d ago (Edited 2828d ago )

In my understanding, you would hear your own gun fire, since it will propaget through the material medium of the spacesuite and its atmosphere. I imagine it as a very muffled sound. But everything you are not in contact with would not be audible.

Edit: Just watched the video and seems adequate.

fr0sty2828d ago

No sound wave is made if there is no medium for it to go through. The energy that would create a sound wave is there, but not the wave. The space suit touching the gun may provide for some sort of muffled sound as it fires, however.

Psychonaut852828d ago

Yeah in the video you can hear the gun but it's very muffled, his breathing is actually louder than the gunfire. Pretty cool!

Errorist762828d ago (Edited 2828d ago )

Only if you fire the gun inside your helmet!

Like the others already mentioned physical sound propagation over the suit could be possible.

Its a damn video game who cares?

The people that care? :P

gamerswin242828d ago

That looked rally interesting and sony already has a few games coming out for PSVR that kill that notion that the games wont have good looking visuals. Keep it up Sony!!!!

Xbox content + services up 62% while hardware down 31%... seems about right with the way they tout you don't need the hardware to play. People can play on their phones or smart tv or other means. I don't hardly play on my consoles directly since getting devices like the logitech g-cloud and ps portal. Which is to also say I have been playing more digital than physical because of these devices.

Too expensive hardware when others offer the same or more for less? Good work, Green Team.

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos1d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

exputers21h ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola13h ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn66916h ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle16h ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
