While Lone Echo is not the first game to take science fiction trappings and add a sense of weightless movement to the proceedings, it is easily the best example to date so far. The story is fantastic, the controls and visuals are completely immersive and is truly one of those games that could only be effectively conveyed with virtual reality.
In this article you’ll find titles highlighting the best-looking games from across the board. Playable across a variety of VR headsets, including PC VR, PSVR/PSVR 2 and Meta Quest 2.
The PlayStation Brahs:
Here's 10 PCVR titles we would love to see make their way to the PlayStation VR 2.
They do look cool. Can't wait to see the headset. If PS5 looks different than the typical monolith design. And, the next VR controllers look different than what's out there. Then, the headset ought to be an interesting piece of technology to look at.
As for the article, there's some good picks there. I wouldn't mind playing Lone Echo and some Forever Bowl since Sony never thought of bringing PS Eye/Move games to VR like High Velocity Bowling. Let alone Sports Champions. Would also like to play Technolust before Lo-Fi comes out from Iris VR.
Actually, just bring anything great over.
I just wonder how it'll work. They did mention the controllers and the headset will support haptic feedback.
@Darkborn - my guess is they will just utilize adaptive triggers on the end much like the Dualsense.
If they could bring sports champions to vr make it multiplayer and social would instantly be my favorite vr game
Might just be me but I felt like the current psvr was already using the design language of the ps5 at least in the colour scheme.
I think it might look very similar to the current headset
they are adopting the style from the Quest 2 / Index (which is a good thing). Most likely the headset will be similar in design to the Quest 2 in that it will use inside out tracking, IR emitters instead of the move lights, and a single USB-C cable to connect to the PS5. Once you've experienced the ability to freely move around your play space it's a game changer. No offense to the PSVR, but you were pretty much stuck in one spot facing forward for the majority of the time.
I hope its backwards compatible with PSVR 1 titles. Saves me having two headsets setup.
I already have an Index set up in that same play space (retired my old Rift CV1). I don't want to have to have my PSVR at all. My hope is the PSVR 2 comes along and is fully compatible with PSVR titles via a small patch hopefully.
The controllers look like cat eyes in the link to this article. Cant unsee it.
Video game storytelling is always evolving, but narrative design especially helped interactive storytelling blossom in the 2010s decade.
Hypnospace Outlaw is an odd one. It will for sure have some influence on future "alternative" narrative story telling.
$40 might be a bit high but it does look very good. Lone Arena is totally wild, it truly is next gen VR.
