6. The Launch Line-Up
https://youtu.be/69XFqRfzl_k So what can you actually play? Well, although many launch lineups tend to fall to the wayside in the longterm as developers get accustomed to software and hardware limitations, the very nature of wearing a VR headset and feeling all your senses get completely overcome should give legs to even the most mechanically simplistic experiences. Included in the bundle deal and seen above are VR Luge, Dangerball, Into The Deep, Scavengers Odyssey and London Heist, the latter of which was initially a spin-off from The Getaway, and sees you defending a car from an onslaught of gangsters, before returning fire with a range of weapons. As for the rest, Scavenger's Odyssey stands out as a fun sci-fi shooter with you thundering through spaceships in a mech suit, whilst VR Luge should bring out the whites of your eyes as you duck and dive through all sorts of tight spaces. For the rest, various outlets are reporting on what is a launch game and what's coming as part of Sony's confirmed '50 titles within two months after launch' list. Here's a quick rundown of some highlights: Until Dawn: Rush Of Blood (Launch game: An on-rails shooter spin-off from 2015's cult horror success) 100ft Robot Golf (Launch game: A brilliantly stupid, arcady sports game where you smash buildings and other robots to get through a game of giant golf) Ace Combat 7 (The premiere fighter jet dogfighting series, now with full head-tracking and slicker than ever graphics) Playroom VR (Launch game: Another collection of minigames, using the PS camera's tiny robotic characters) Battlezone (Launch game: Cel-shaded, sci-fi FPS with multiple upgrade trees and a ton of detail inside your ship) RIGS: Mechanised Combat League (Launch game: An arena-style shooter where everyone is in mech suits, blasting each other and scoring touchdowns) Tumble VR (Launch game: A simple-yet-hard game of stacking objects in various ways to score high points) In addition, developers for other games like Tekken 7 and Gran Turismo have stated they'll feature PS VR integration too, and although GT is clearly going to be a first-person mode, as for how you make a side-on fighting game work outside of bringing back Tekken 2's wireframe mode, I have no idea.
