These are the PlayStation VR games making their way to Gamescom 2016 in Cologne next week.
Gamescom, Europe’s biggest games conference, gets underway in Cologne, Germany next week and as one of the last major gaming events before Sony’s PS4 powered virtual reality platform launches on October 13, it should be a good chance to get a feel for how strong Sony’s VR software line up is looking.
To that end, Sony have revealed the titles which will be either playable or at least present on the show floor. Here they are:
- Batman: Arkham VR
- Battlezone
- Bound VR
- EVE Valkyrie
- Farpoint
- Hatsune Miku: VR Future Live
- Headmaster
- Here They Lie
- Hustle Kings VR
- PlayStation VR Worlds
- Resident Evil 7 biohazard
- RIGS: Mechanized Combat League
- Robinson: The Journey
- Super Stardust Ultra VR
- The Playroom VR
- Tumble VR
- Until Dawn: Rush of Blood
Most of the above we’ve covered before, but one of the newer titles from a franchise which will be familiar to PlayStation gamers is Super Stardust Ultra VR. The retro-styled, Asteroids inspired twin-stick shooter is a favourite of mine, and it’s great seeing it being brought up to date in VR. If you’re curious as to what it looks like, Sony recently released screenshots (see below) for the title along with a blog post from the Associate Producer at Sony’s XDev Studio Europe, Pedro Sousa who said of the title “Adopting a whole new perspective of gameplay, you will jump into to the cockpit thanks to Super Stardust Ultra VR’s first person perspective and blast countless waves of enemies as they attack from every angle, in a frenetic fight that puts you right in the centre of the action.”
Road to VR will be at Gamescom 2016 next week to bring you the latest in VR from the show floor.
