The Persistence (PSVR) Review | GamePitt

Rob Pitt writes: In space, nobody can hear you scream. Unfortunately, in my flat pretty much everyone, including my neighbours, can! I’m not saying The Persistence is a scary game, but there were moments when I possibly yelled out quite a few profanities at the virtual feckers! So, what is The Persistence? It’s one of the most addictive PSVR titles I’ve played for a while, from it’s procedurally generated floor plan to its vast array of pick-ups and weaponry. There is never a dull moment as you investigate the ship in order to complete set objectives and find a way out of this nightmare they call ‘The Persistence‘.

Will definitely check this game out. PSVR needs some more larger games, and good motion controller detection overall.

rob-GP2525d ago

True. At first, I thought it was strange that this game is DS4 only - no Move or Aim controller support. But once you start playing it, you see why. the controller works perfectly for the stealth and combat - plus it allows you to move around so much easier than the move controllers would.

The Persistence unlocks free PS5 upgrades to all PS Plus players

It's a big contrast to Square Enix's approach with Final Fantasy 7 Remake

Still my favorite game for psvr

deleted1317d ago

So good! Hope they do a remaster for PSVR2 launch!

SullysCigar1317d ago

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.

GhostofHorizon1317d ago

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.

Ozzy24071317d ago (Edited 1317d ago )

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

GhostofHorizon1317d ago

This is the one that you can play without VR as well.

Atomicjuicer1317d ago

Annoying for those of us who paid for it.

3 amazing PSVR titles, if you do not already own them... some of the best!

Neonridr1336d ago

I'll check out The Persistence for sure. I already have The Walking Dead for my Index.

VenomUK1336d ago (Edited 1336d ago )

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.

SullysCigar1336d ago

^ @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!

SurgicalMenace1336d ago

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.😁

VenomUK1335d ago

@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.

deleted1336d ago

Very good point, and they released a PS5 upgrade recently too!

Neonridr1336d ago

so you are saying you can play it in 2D is what you mean?

deleted1336d ago

@Neonridr exactly, a flat screen version was added later after release, free of charge.

Petebloodyonion1335d ago (Edited 1335d ago )

Indeed the PSVR version includes the flat screen update so it should work too.

Yui_Suzumiya1335d ago

True that.. The Persistence is on the Switch after all. I was interested until I heard it's just as difficult as Dark Souls.

Neonridr1335d ago

@OtterX - thanks, that's good to know.

CR7JUVE18971336d ago

For the first time in what seems like forever, I don't have any of these games, so this is good from my perspective.

robtion1336d ago

Yep i'm waiting for psvr 2 before I take the plunge.

FlavorLav011336d ago

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

SlothLordPootus1336d ago

I've been wanting to play Kingdoms of Amalur since it came out 10 years ago. So that's a welcome addition for me.

NecrumOddBoy1335d ago

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.

darthv721336d ago

I played it on the 360 and thought it was really well made, regardless of all the controversy.

SullysCigar1336d ago

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.

darthv721336d ago

@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...

SullysCigar1336d ago

I had no idea - thanks for the link!

Yui_Suzumiya1335d ago

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.

Teflon021335d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya1333d ago

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.

GhostofHorizon1336d ago

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.

LucasRuinedChildhood1336d ago (Edited 1336d ago )

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.

lipton1011335d ago

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

SullysCigar1336d ago

Don't be sad, just get PS Plus and enjoy awesome games like the rest of us! ;^p

SurgicalMenace1336d ago

You know you can just purchase what's not given for free too, right?
