But sometimes we want to try a new and exciting game, especially on a new device like the PS VR2. Luckily, there are plenty of things on the way, including exciting action horror shooters and MMORPGs. I’ve decided to focus on seven games we’re looking forward to as PlayStation brings virtual reality games to the current console generation.
If you haven’t already, check out: PS VR2 pre-order information . This will keep the virtual reality headset already locked. PS VR2 release early next year .
after the fall
After the Fall is a cooperative first-person shooter set in a dystopian version of Los Angeles. You and your friends battle the Snow Breed, who have taken over the frozen wastelands of ruined Los Angeles. The graphics aren’t as good as some of the best console games, but that’s to be expected. However, the gameplay seems like it won’t let you sit down if you can actually.
You want nothing more than to have a killer FPS for virtual reality gaming. One of the things I found most interesting about After the Fall was the use of haptic feedback on the headset and controller for gunfights. I know it doesn’t really feel like shooting a gun, but I like the idea of being able to feel the effect of shooting a gun. After the Fall is already available for PS VR, but the PS VR2 version looks like it could be a meaningful step forward for VR shooters.
After the fall, PS VR2 will be released in 2023. PS VR version owners can get a free upgrade after launch.
mountain horizon call
Horizon Call of the Mountain has actually garnered quite a bit of attention so far. At the beginning of the year, some journalists had to leave. Experience it for yourself with PS VR2 , Call of the Mountain was one of the games included in that demo. The Verge called it the most technologically advanced PS VR2 experience and described the scale as “incredible”.
After watching the trailer, I can see where they’re coming from. The graphics look fantastic, especially for virtual reality. Between the action, graphics and storyline, we fully expect that you will fall in love with this game almost immediately. It’s also part of Guerrilla Games’ consistently excellent Horizon series, so that’s not bad either. Expectations are through the roof at this point.
Horizon Call of the Mountain for PS VR2 will be available for pre-order on November 15th and will be released on February 22nd, 2023.
no man sky
In 2016, I was one of those who was very disappointed with No Mans Sky. I was expecting a vast universe to experience, but instead left mostly monotonous planets and repetitive gameplay. I put it down after about 8 hours and never played it again.
Since then, the Hello Games team has worked tirelessly to deliver the experience it once promised. And while I haven’t come back to myself yet, our own Peter Wolinski insists: The current version of the game is a masterpiece . The PS VR2 public trailer is definitely ready to agree. I can’t wait to be swept away by the feeling of being immersed in the fascinating space battles it promises. Hopefully you won’t be disappointed this time around.
No Man’s Sky for PS VR2 will be available as a free upgrade on February 22, 2023. To access No Man’s Sky for PS VR2, you just need to own the PS5 version of the game.
pistol whip
This game looks fun. I love how Pistol Whip turns away from realistic shooting games and into arcade masterpieces. The art style of vibrant colors and low-poly character design blends perfectly with rhythm-based FPS gameplay. Essentially, you could be John Wick in Pistol Whip, who needs John Wick?
Like After Fall, Pistol Whip isn’t entirely new for PS VR2. Instead, it appears to provide an improved experience with new features and upgraded graphics. Just like After Fall, we’re excited to see how haptic feedback works for an immersive experience, especially in rhythm-based games where the bit of feedback can really matter.
Pistol Whip for PS VR2 will be released in 2023. You will receive a free upgrade when the PS VR version is released.
Resident Evil Village
Full disclosure: I’m not sure I’m as excited about this game as I’m fascinated by the prospect of how much it can scare me. Resident Evil was already scary enough without being fully immersed in the world. Even in the trailer, you can feel the impressive sound design and impressive details in Lady Dimitrescu’s castle. Horizon Call of the Mountain may ultimately be a more impressive game, but Resident Evil Village is the most impressive PS VR2 trailer we’ve ever seen.
Best of all, the VR experience is delivered throughout the single player campaign. If this is true – and I don’t know why not – it’s a huge win for VR gamers. The console version was declared “nearly perfect” in our Resident Evil review and earned an Editor’s Choice badge. Experiencing it in VR is something I’m definitely excited about.
Resident Evil Village for PS VR2 is available for pre-order on November 15th and releases on February 22nd, 2023.
The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR
Reading this, you might think I’m a fan of horror experiences. But as a game director at Supermassive Games, when I promise you a “nightmare VR rollercoaster action shooter” Alejandro Arche Gallardo (opens in a new tab) I am interested in promoting the game. Despite being completely off the rails, the action in The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR seems completely off the rails. From the hard rock soundtrack to the bloody mayhem, this trailer has me hooked.
Switchback VR also represents another opportunity for haptic feedback in PS VR2. After seeing many trailers for the game, it seems like this is a feature developers are looking forward to. In Switchback VR, you can feel this haptic feedback when you fail to avoid enemies and environmental hazards. If this were just another horror game, I don’t know if I’d be that excited. But the roller coaster aspect really excites me.
The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR for PS VR2 is currently available for wishlisting on the PlayStation Store and will be released on February 22nd, 2023. It may be available for pre-order as early as November 15th.
Zenith: The Last City
Like the other games on this list, Zenith: Last City has already been released on older platforms. However, the PS VR2 looks set to provide a significant boost.
developer Ramen VR (opens in a new tab) The release of the PS VR2 edition promises new storylines, significant graphics upgrades and much faster load times in PS VR2. Ramen also touts adaptive triggers for the new Sense controllers. This will change in terms of resistance depending on which attack you want to launch.
Other than FPS games, other games that I think are really well suited for virtual reality are MMOs, or at least RPGs. Zenith: The Last City looks set to go a long way in providing a unique VR MMORPG experience, although its cartoonish art design is far from fully realistic and immersive. But that’s okay. As long as the new story is compelling, Zenith can provide hours of fun. It’s also a release date title, so you’ll be able to play as soon as PS VR2 launches in February 2023.
Zenith: The Last City for PS VR2 will be available for pre-order on November 15th and will be released on February 22nd, 2023.
