PlayStation VR review: A fantastic introduction to Virtual Reality gaming - Independent UK

The release of PSVR marks the beginning of something truly magical: the introduction of Virtual Reality to the masses. Sure, the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift are both readily available, but the number of people who own computers capable of running those headsets pales significantly compared to PlayStation 4 owners.

taken from the article: like many of you, I was dismissive of the ‘fad’ three months ago, believing it to be more a novelty rather than a real gaming experience. However, after playing all three major systems, there’s no doubt about Virtual Reality being future of gaming, and Sony is leading the pack.

Sony certainly has a good chance of gaining a decent foothold in the VR market, the PSVR sounds like a worthwhile experience, and it is quite an achievement by Sony to not only bring a viable VR system to consoles, but to do it at an affordable price.

VR is happening people. can't wait.

Well said. Three days baby, my wallet is going to ache because I want to get all of the games :(

The Independent is one of VERY few UK papers with a decent name, so this is praise indeed!

Not that any more praise is needed; I already know enough to know I'm buying it. I can't believe how diverse the launch window line up of games is. Or how many - it's a hugely impressive launch, even by full-blown console standards.

Sorry mate, but you have no credibility with this statement. You're dismissive and showing a negative bias of something you've not even tried is inexcusable. And now look at you doing a public u-turn once you've actually given it a try.

This will be a roughly 35 minute show.

Robo Quest VR looks pretty slick with that fast gunplay.

Shadowgate VR looks good too, perhaps in the vein of elder scrolls.

Shadowgate VR. Thought it might be connected to the old point and click game. But it still looks good.

darklaw64d ago

y'know, VR needs something can can only be achieved while in VR. Immersion isn't enough, it has to have a hook that is so cool that you would want to own one. Having the same games you could play on console doesnt warrant a purchase.

Babadook763d ago

Resident Evil 4 Remake and Village and Gran Turismo 7 alone make it worth it for me. The difference VR makes is so large it more than doubles the enjoyment of these types of quality VR ports. So I disagree. I would love a future where all great 2d games got some kind of a hybrid port to VR.

Has Hitman: World Of Assassination been confirmed for PCVR? If not, then this article is seriously misleading.

CrimsonIdol212d ago

It's confirmed on Steam VR yes. It's right there on the store page.

bigfish212d ago (Edited 212d ago )

I’ll have to put the dual sense down and pick up metro and alien vr to see me out till the end of the year. Good to see companies supporting psvr 2 .

Babadook7212d ago

Looks like a tremendous few months coming up. I won't be able to keep up with these.

UltimateOwnage212d ago

VR is really starting to flesh out recently. The hardware is finally getting accessible and with the quality it takes to deliver a compelling and immersive experience. Good times ahead. I hope Flat2VR Studios can bridge the gap with some excellent conversions as the industry matures.
