10 VR Games That Revived Awesome Game Studios Back

10. Blood And Truth

Game Studio: Sony London

PlayStation's first-party dev, London Studio, arrived with the PS2 gangster series, The Getaway, a gritty and enjoyable UK spin on the GTA format. However, the IP soon plateaued and the dev got stuck pumping out products for whatever peripheral Sony demanded.

This included supplying entries to the seemingly endless Singstar franchise, being (the only) loyal supporter of EyeToy, and helping beef up the launches of the PSP and PSVR, with fancy tech demos.

They have been a successful and hard-working piece of the PS brand, but compared to their artistically impressive first-party brethren (e.g. Insomniac, Naughty Dog), they looked more like a passionless sweatshop, rather than GOTY contenders.

That all changed with last year's Blood and Truth, a spiritual successor to The Getaway, and a full-fledged expansion of London Heist (from their PSVR Worlds tech demo). It's a slick and exciting action-adventure set in London's gangster world, and brings all the polish and quality of a trademark triple-A PS4 exclusive...yet exclusively to the headset.

It has reignited the studio in a major way, with them now cemented as Sony's premier in-house VR studio.
