Skyrim VR Is the Hit PlayStation VR Needed

Skyrim VR is a far more impressive experience than I expected and it is one of the best games available for PlayStation VR.

[Kramerica13]

I'm holding out for its Virtual Boy port, lol

[Freedomland]

A good game should be given to all platform holders. If possible.

[dreue]

all plat? well talk to ms to do something about vr,and about games no? how about that?

[bluebenjamin]

in one half a frame per second lol

[thorstein]

"Needed!?" Hey, Twinfinite, PSVR (and all VR) has been doing quite well for some time now. I know that know nothing journalists don't understand that, but VR is going strong.

PSVR already has the hits, as do the other VR sets.

[Gazondaily]

Please name these hits

[twiggytree12]

Driveclub VR
Dirt Rally VR
Resident Evil 7
Farpoint
Battlezone
Until Dawn Rush of Blood

[Gazondaily]

^^ Dem hits

[UltraNova]

Its your turn to name MS/xbox VR hits...

Dont worry I'm not waiting.

[ApocalypseShadow]

They don't have any ultra. It has to piggyback off of steam to have any games. You would think that that many headsets by multiple manufactures under one windows flag would have produced at least one good exclusive game to launch with them.

Nope. Not a one.

[Gazondaily]

None of them have VR hits 😊

[C-H-E-F]

@Septic please name your Xbox One X Exclusive games hits, i'll wait...

[morganfell]

Dat jealousy...

@C-H-E-F

The PSVR already has more actual platform exclusives than the X1X will ever have.

[UltraNova]

C-H-E-F

Why wait? Its Lucky's Tale! Oh you said hits. Oh well keep waiting I guess...

[Kribwalker]

i keep seeing how no one wants to buy a 6 year old game on the switch, but now it’s a game changer? a portable version is just as much s game changer as a VR version

[morganfell]

Must be tough not being able to comprehend the appeal of VR. Must be a struggle not seeing why the Switch crowd would want Zelda but not Skyrim.

Then again I feel your pain. I don't know why anyone would want a piece of hardware that doesn't have one, not one single true exclusive game.

[Kribwalker]

@Morgan
I’m one of those that have bought Skyrim for my switch, so i don’t understand the shot there.

And VR is something that doesn’t appeal to me, as i don’t have the desire to strap a headset on myself to play games i can play on my expensive home theatre, no matter who makes it. I could buy PSVR for my ps4 if i wanted to, but i have no desire for it.

Not one single true exclusive eh? That’s a definitive statement. It’s also a completely incorrect statement. Where can you play Sunset Overdrive? Where can you play Halo 5?
Maybe a little fact checking is in order before you spew BS eh Chap

[UltraNova]

While you are right, to an extent, there are 2 true xb1 exclusives but thats 2 in 4 years and counting. TWO!

The xbox stagnation is even more apparent now with context provided by you.

[morganfell]

@Ultra, I am right completely in that I am referring to the X1X.

Krib, you may have purchased Skyrim for the Switch but you do not have an understanding of main Switch users. The fact Skyrim is 6 years old has nothing to do with whyy core Ninty fans don't want it. It simply isn't their type of game. That is where your comprehension fails you. Buying a Switch doesn't make you anymore of a Nintendo fan than owing a cowl and cape makes you Batman.

VR doesn't appeal to you and so therefore you fail to understand its appeal to the rest of gamers. You can't think outside your own wants and desires.

Sunset OD and HALO 5 are both Xbox titles. They in no way are X1X exclusives. That is the hardware people like you on this site are discussing. The beast is what you call it, right? It isn't beastly at all when it can't bring exclusive games and it has exactly zero of those and it will have exactly zero. Where is HALO 6 going to be?
That's right, the PC. So your next move will be praising a publisher...just wonderful. Better start practicing now, you are going to need it.

And if all you can do is dredge up 2 exclusives in the 4 years for the Xbox division in general then I really have to question anyone screaming how Xbox is a leader of any kind and instead is an organization that waits to see what multiplats will be tossed to the crowd.

I said it before and will say so again, while gamers may think play anywhere was great, it was a move by MS to try and alleviate their lack of games and in fact was a suicide move for the division. They needed a distraction and you fell for it. Now this season they once again try to substitute something else in the place of games. How many times do they have to sleight of hand you people before you wake up...and that isn't a question I care to have answered by you because blind following isn't a behavior that interests me in the least.

[Kribwalker]

so i suppose you want nothing to do with the PS4 Pro then? seeing as it will never have an exclusive either? and the two examples i gave you were 2 big exclusives off the top of my head. Play Anywhere is a distraction from lack of output? that makes no sense. Play anywhere is a way for MS to expand its userbase for exclusive games. If you didn’t notice, a lot of sony exclusives are releasing on PC now to, be it at launch (Nioh, NMS, SF5 etc) timed exclusive (nier) or timed exclusive through PSnow. I’m gonna laugh at your claims on exclusives once UC and HZD end up on PSnow, because it’s only a matter of time before sony brings those ones on there to try to save their floundering service.

and seriously? claiming i’m not a nintendo fan? You sir are a fool. i have owned every nintendo system, handheld or home console but the Wiiu, virtual boy and gameboy advance.Thats from the OG NES until now. I’ve played every zelda game but skyward sword and those CDI games. i have consistently enjoyed their games. I even preordered the switch as soon as it was available while you guys sat there and made fun of its lower specs.So get out of here with your BS.

[Bigpappy]

Who would have thought it would be Bethesda to get people taking PSVR seriously, when I have been told over and over, that Sony has the best developers in the world.

[ApocalypseShadow]

Well, it sure isn't that company that talked about "high fidelity VR" then backed away from it like "3X the power," then backed away from it or Hololens being "the next thing" at E3, then backed away from it. Or "it reads your heartbeat," then back away from it. Or "Milo is a real virtual person," then backed away from it.

It sure wasn't that company that likes to lie and mislead then back away from their statements. But tell me, what system is Skyrim VR on?

Skyrim has done it's job. Some gamers said "where are the full games on PSVR?" Where HERE it is. And it immerses gamers like they always wanted. While adding to the best like RE7,Super Hot, Far point, Dirt Rally, etc.

Where's the "high fidelity" you were promised?

[Sunny_D]

Damn, owned.

[Phoenix76]

It's Sony who gave Bethesda the Dev tools needed to port one of the best games of all time over into VR. Also we the VR community have been saying for quite a while now that people need to take VR (as a platform in its own right) seriously. Now we are seeing record numbers being sold and an increased library of game and developer interest.

[Kribwalker]

what are these record numbers? last we heard was 1 million psvr in june, which took 4 months to sell 85,000 units after february where they said they were at 915,000......

There you go mate

[bluebenjamin]

The irony how dare they

[ibrake4naps]

I would even buy it again on ps5 in a higher resolution enhanced version

[bluebenjamin]

ps buy it again mater race but hate old games on new systems

[Tallpine]

Gotta say it's the first full game I plan on beating on VR.

[C-H-E-F]

I didn't pick it up yet, I refuse to pay 60$ for another skyrim. However whenever it hits like 25$ i'll get it, I thought it'd be on sale on black friday went to target/bestbuy/walmart/amazon still was 60 smacks... so yeah nah i'm more than good for now, this weekend I will finally try to beat Resident Evil VR :( lawwwd

[Ittoittosai]

Um RE7 is a better choice than Skyscheme VR. This is what gaming has come to calling a 6yr old game resold for the 7th time because it has a VR mode added when other games added VR with out reselling it at full price.

[MonChiChi]

RE and skyrim are both amazing VR games. I am same boat as everyone else, I have multiple copies of skyrim. That being said Skyrim VR is amazing. It is insanely immersive, to the point that 10 mins in game is usually like an hour real time hahaha. You see things you didn't really see in previous versions, traps are easier to see. I would say yea skyrim def is not worth getting again if it was just your standard game with some new add ons etc, but this VR is well worth the price tag. Reliving areas that you remembered from your first play through ever and being in the world, doesnt get any better than that.

[Ittoittosai]

Its not amazing it pathetic that bethesda has been able to resell this game 7 times. It speaks to the problem gaming has right now too many people will to give over good money for far to little. Fallout 4 and Skyrim should of had VR add as an update not a total full price resell, that's just nuts.
