Why nDreams hopes Synapse will be a "system seller" for PSVR2

nDreams CEO Patrick O'Luanaigh explains why the studio went all-in on a PSVR2 exclusive game.

Interesting article. It does look great in terms of production values and gameplay. The only question at this point is the length, although it clearly has LOADS of replay value thanks to the nature of the score offered at the end of each round (it's a bit like DMC), which I can see becoming very addictive.

Too many gameplay previewers are not talking about the traversal and climbing aspects. I've watched a few that haven't climbed anything even once and some aren't even using the amazing cover system, because they're having way too much fun with the shooting and telekinesis.

I guess it shows there's an abundance of ways to complete each level. I'm betting the game will force you to utilise these different ways in later levels in order to survive.

I just watched this preview, which was pretty good (if you can get past the lame language), and unlike most, it's shown at 4K (albeit only 60fps), so you can get a better appreciation of the graphics:

Looks pretty damn cool. The guy in the video doesn’t read most of the stuff and just runs by it . It seems you can do more but he didn’t bother to check it out lol. It was also funny with the skill tree he just randomly selects whatever class and skills instantly and doesn’t bother to read them first. I would never do that .

Anyway game looks great.

A bit like dmc is a turn off for me. As excited as I am for psvr2 I'd love to see some of the type of games I enjoy vr upped. I'm not much into alot of fps shooters although I find some enjoyable. I'll admit a fps definitely feels different in vr from what I have played. I'm not trashing vr I really enjoyed it l, just would like to see some rpgs and platformer type games, I mentioned yesterday about xcom I know it wouldn't probably happen but I'd love to see xcom 2 in vr I'd buy one today

It's only the fact that it ranks your performance that's like DMC - like clearing an area quickly or stylishly - the rest of the game couldn't be more different. The skill trees are looking pretty deep, I've since seen in other videos, so I'm really liking what I've seen so far. Looks like there are more enemy types and guns than I first thought, too. These previews are all from the first 2 levels and they can only show 12 minutes.
