VGChartz's Evan Norris: "The Persistence, ultimately, is a fine example of both a rinse-and-repeat rogue-like and a first-person horror game. It's spooky, often addicting, and packed with content — a complete playthrough will take between eight and ten hours, at which point you'll unlock a more challenging Survival Mode. Its VR comfort options and companion app offset a general lack of innovation and help mitigate the rare randomly-generated difficulty spike and some inferior graphics. PSVR owners: add this to your collection."
It's a big contrast to Square Enix's approach with Final Fantasy 7 Remake
I'm hoping that's a given in light of these PS5 upgrades, but I'd like to see them tweak the controls to make use of those awesome-looking new controllers Sony teased too.
To everyone else: don't be tempted to play this game flat - wait until you get (or get access to) VR, as that's what this game was designed around and that's where it shines.
Can anyone tell me how PSVR games are supposed to work on PS5. I eventually got my PS5/PSVR adapter after months of waiting. Then had to get a HDMI splitter and set it up only to find nothing worked. Some Apps don’t recognise it’s connected at all and when they do they require a DS4 to play which obviously I haven’t got or move controllers which I do have but apparently you need them cable connected (didn’t bother trying in the end) but of course there’s not enough USB ports. Struggling to understand how they can claim it’s compatible.
If I knew it was going to be like this I would of sold it along with my PS4 Pro instead of holding onto it for no reason.
Been wanting to try this game for a while.
You can check the Playstation support site for this information, they have a page specifically for making PSVR work with PS5.
You may need to get a free adaptor from Sony to make it all work.
Make sure your using the PS4 version of the game for PSVR .
Only PS4 games will work with the PSVR but they will run a lot better and look better playing on a PS5
PS VR titles The Persistence, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners - Standard Edition, and Until You Fall also launch November 2.
I'll check out The Persistence for sure. I already have The Walking Dead for my Index.
It's a hard no from me. Literally I'm not interested in playing any of the games and I might not even put them on my download list as I don't want to see crap I won't play in my library.
EDIT: Let me add I would play the PSVR games but Sony didn't send me the PS5 camera attachment despite two months of weekly phone calls to PlayStation UK support so I gave up and sold it.
^ @VenomUK, those 3 games are top rated classics. The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners is one of the top VR games ever created.
Download them ready for PSVR2, my friend, don't miss out!
Well thank you for your contribution Mr. Venom, I'm sure that no one is not going to play these games because of what happened to you. Fitting name though.😁
@SullysCigar Yes, I will download them! I will be getting PSVR2/NGVR at launch so hopefully all the first-gen games will run on it or get a patch.
@SurgicalMenace I wasn't trying to persuade anybody to not download them, just expressing my opinion. But you're right, the name is fitting because I spit venom. Pssttt. Psstt. PSSTTT.
Looking forward to playing them. I'd like to add that you don't need a PS VR to play The Persistance.
@Neonridr exactly, a flat screen version was added later after release, free of charge.
Indeed the PSVR version includes the flat screen update so it should work too.
True that.. The Persistence is on the Switch after all. I was interested until I heard it's just as difficult as Dark Souls.
For the first time in what seems like forever, I don't have any of these games, so this is good from my perspective.
If you’re a fan of open world ARPGs, Kingdoms of Amalur was a under appreciated golden goose of an experience for its time. Highly recommended if your an old Fable fan like I was
I've been wanting to play Kingdoms of Amalur since it came out 10 years ago. So that's a welcome addition for me.
It’s really great. It’s definitely a classic style of ARPG but fun and has great combat. Not brutal and lots to do. I enjoy the high fantasy meets Irish-brood in the game.
I played it on the 360 and thought it was really well made, regardless of all the controversy.
What was the controversy surrounding Kingdoms of Amalur? I missed it and never played it to discover it for myself. Heard good things only, I believe.
@sully... it just had a lot of troubled development despite it being a really good game. Check out the vid for more info: https://youtu.be/cOywJPI9uT...
Hell yes.. I'm getting it for Switch. Played it on PS3 back in the day. It's a shame what happened with the company going under.
I'm just curious, why do switch owners always do that? Sure you'll see it once in a while from a PS and Xbox owner, but it's so common amongst the Switch community to be on any post and just specifically say I'm getting this for switch. At this point it just seems like switch owners want to be noticed as switch owners which makes no sense since it sells great so there's nothing unique about saying that lol
I'm getting it for PS4 as well.. I've been a PS gamer since the first came out but I skipped every generation of Nintendo after N64 up until I got a Switch earlier this year. I prefer having a game for both PS4 and Switch. One that's more powerful ona large TV and one to play on a handheld.
Looks like a solid month. I've heard a lot of praise for each one of those PSVR games.
I remember really enjoying Kingdom of Amalur back when it originally came out.
PS Plus was on a roll for a long while (around a year for me) but the games for August and October were particularly bad, making this month look worse than it actually is.
Knockout City and Kingdoms of Amalur are good games but 2 multiplayer focused games is too much - First Class Trouble seems like a poor choice.
I'm hoping for something a bit bigger like Mafia Definitive Edition and/or The Pathless for December because we were getting bangers like that earlier on in the year. I primarily use PS Plus for the games.
Hell let Loose was one of the best ps plus offerings I’ve seen in a while. It’s not for everyone but it was absolutely incredible
Don't be sad, just get PS Plus and enjoy awesome games like the rest of us! ;^p
All you need is an NVIDIA RTX-supported GPU.
