So uh, more PSVR games! Today during their E3 press conference, Supermassive Games showed off Inpatient, a new VR game that has an unsettling tone and an even more unsettling name. It evidently takes place in the same world as Until Dawn, t...   read

Earlier, Intel announced that Echo Arena, the multiplayer aspect of the virtual reality title Lone Echo, will be free for a limited time at launch. We now know that "launch" is July 20, only a month away! Lone Echo will cost $34.9...   read

Bethesda dove right into its E3 2017 press conference with back-to-back virtual reality games. First there was Doom VFR, which, hell yes. That can and should be good. Next, we got a peek at Fallout 4 VR, due out this October on PC for ...   read

To kick off their 2017 press conference, the jazzed up "Bethesdaland," company VP Pete Hines introduced "one of two VR projects" they have in the works, Doom VFR. Not much is known about it right now other than that it's some form of D...   read

It may have been a long time since I kept up with Shonen Jump/Shueisha JUMP's manga series (such as One Piece and My Hero Academia), but I felt that their settings could be made into some enjoyable virtual reality games. Lo and behold,...   read

Having not yet gotten around to Farpoint, it's been a while since I've had a reason to fish out my tangled-up, crammed-in-a-drawer PlayStation VR. The impending port of Arizona Sunshine is next on my list, and that game -- a zombie shooter ...   read

Whatever Microsoft has up its sleeve for E3, it allegedly won't include a virtual reality headset. Despite being the logical time to launch this sort of initiative, it seems as if Xbox's take on VR will be pushed into 2018 or beyond. Accord...   read

Ah Sony. Ever since the (mostly warranted) hubris of the "this is how you share games on PlayStation" video they've been sticking it to Microsoft directly, and indirectly, Nintendo's Wii U. While Microsoft is shying away from sales numbers ...   read

Addressing a room full of Polish developers, Oculus' Paul Jastrzebski said "We want to see more Superhots out there." It'd be easy to dismiss this as pandering to the crowd, as the Superhot developer is from Łódź,...   read

The next game from Velocity 2X maker FuturLab is Tiny Trax, a four-player PlayStation VR slot racing game with lane switching, boosting, and drifting. It's designed in such a way to make players feel as if they are "a child surrounded by a ...   read

Back in March, Oculus made an aggressive course correction when it slashed the price of the Rift and the Touch controllers by $100 each. The move was viewed as borderline necessary by a lot of people, as purchasing the pair would run about ...   read

Polybius, the trippy new arcade shooter from long-time designer Jeff Minter, is a question-inducing game. Why's it called that? What even is it? Won't it give me motion sickness? The name is a riff on an old urban legend that spoke of a mys...   read

Standalone VR headsets that don't require a PC, a phone, or a whole mess of wires are going to make virtual reality so much more approachable. Pricing is one thing, but there really is something to be said about ease of use and setup. Googl...   read

Hot off the heels of the Gundam VR experience, Bandai Namco has announced an Evangelion VR attraction, titled Evangelion VR: The Soul's Seat. Debuting this summer at the VR Zone location in Tokyo, this looks to be a treat for Evangelion fan...   read

PlayStation VR is in a weird spot. It has the userbase, the pricepoint, and Sony has a massive industry lead. Can it stay in for the long haul? What about the second wave of modern VR (cordless), which, according to a few industry experts a...   read

A virtual-reality makeover for Half-Life 2 sounds like a terrific new reason to revisit the iconic game, and with Valve prioritizing other initiatives, fans have taken it upon themselves to make it happen. The community-built Half-Life 2: V...   read

Chris and I were just chatting about next week's Farpoint and the accompanying Aim Controller designed for PlayStation VR shooters. Will there be much support for the new peripheral? I'm doubtful. But the controller is landing at least one ...   read

For me, Battlezone was and still is a highlight of the PlayStation VR library, albeit with the caveat that it's best experienced with a full four-person group. The roguelike campaign structure and at times fierce difficulty both necessitate...   read

Between Job Simulator and Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality, Owlchemy Labs has been doing some cool stuff in the VR space. I'm curious to see what the team does next, especially in light of today's news that Google, which has its Dayd...   read

So, this is a good idea. Overkill Software is working on Payday VR for a beta release later this year, and as shown in this debut trailer, it'll support co-op play with the existing version of Payday 2. Outside of what you can glean from t...   read

Polybius is another hectic arcade shooter from Jeff Minter, albeit one designed with virtual reality in mind, and I'm not so sure I can handle his brand of trance-inducing madness while I'm strapped in. It's playable on a standard PS4 witho...   read

"It's a lot easier than it looks." That's what I had to keep reminding myself whenever I'd get stuck in Statik, an absorbing new PlayStation VR game in which you wake up handcuffed to various puzzle boxes that appear far more intricate and ...   read
