With Tokyo Game Show long gone and as we approach Halloween the event season is pretty much over and done with in the Northern Hemisphere. Particularly in Europe and America, with the only real exception being Sony’s annual PlayStation Experience event set to take place across the 9th and 10th of December. Other than this however it’s more a case of waiting out the rest of 2017 and what Autumn and Winter bring until the new year.
But that’s not taking into account the Southern Hemisphere where it’s currently the end of Spring, not Autumn, and Australia is gearing up for its iteration of PAX once again. It also seems, much as with PlayStation Experience, there’s going to be plenty for PlayStation VR fans to try out.
The line-up is as follows:
Gran Turismo Sport
“In PlayStation VR you’ll quite literally have the driving wheel at your fingertips. From hitting the brakes to turning a corner, experiencing Gran Turismo Sport in the PS VR headset will let players experience a true-to-life driving experience.”
Gran Turismo Sport‘s VR mode is limited, but impressive, even to professionals. Ardent armchair racers meanwhile can increase their experience with Thrustmaster’s Gran Turismo Sport racing wheel, which we covered at this year’s E3.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR: The Elder Scrolls V
“Skyrim VR is a true, full-length open-world game for VR from award-winning developers, Bethesda Game Studios®. Skyrim VR reimagines the complete epic fantasy masterpiece with an unparalleled sense of scale, depth, and immersion.”
One of a trio of Bethesda titles coming to virtual reality (VR) along with DOOM VFR and Fallout 4 VR. You can read our recent preview here.
MONSTER OF THE DEEP: FINAL FANTASY XV:
“Dive into the story mode for an exhilarating, action-packed showdown with the notorious MONSTER OF THE DEEP, or take in the sights, sounds and scenery of FINAL FANTASY XV as you kick back and cast off in the free fishing mode.”
A surprise from this year’s E3 and a replacement for the initial Final Fantasy XV: VR Experience, you can read our preview of MONSTER OF THE DEEP: FINAL FANTASY XV here.
Bravo Team
“It’s all or nothing in this heart-pumping PS VR firefight of intense combat and split-second tactical decision-making.”
A experience VRFocus likened to “Army of Two on steroids”, the title is one of two VR videogames in the works from Supermassive Games. (The other being The Inpatient.)
PAX Australia is from October 27th-29th 2017 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. News about the PlayStation VR is developing all the time, so be sure to check back with VRFocus regularly for the latest.
