What You Missed: A Recap of the Latest Virtual Reality Titles Coming to PlayStation VR

Missed the announcements from Paris Games Week (PGW)? A huge fan of virtual reality (VR)? PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR owners likely already know that there are now over 100 titles on the platform. But that’s just now. There’s plenty of videogames on the way to add to that collection, and luckily VRFocus has got your back. Below you can find a list of all the PlayStation VR videogames that were announced or mentioned at PGW – and we have also created a little video recap which you can find below.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown – 2018

Moss – 2018

Announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), VRFocus thought Moss was perhaps the cutest VR game to date. Sadly, that date has shifted, with the title now delayed until 2018. Developed by Polyarc, Moss asks players to solve puzzles in a larger-than-life world. The protagonist Quill also recognises who you are and tries to point out tips when you’re stuck. Quill’s intricate hand movements actually promotes sign language as she uses her body, hands and squeaks to communicate with you.

Apex Construct – Coming Soon

Announced at PGW today, this first-person shooter (FPS) takes adventure to a futuristic, robot-filled sci-fi world. You play as the last human on a world where synthetic creatures seek to dominate their new hunting grounds.

League of War: VR Arena – November 7th 2017

Announced back in August this real-time tabletop warfare simulator should be something strategy fans will enjoy. Players will have access to 12 different units, four of which can be deployed at one time. This includes tanks, soldiers, flamethrowers, artillery and helicopters. Each unit costs energy to put on the battlefield – so don’t start spamming out loads of troops without thinking careful first.

Stifled – October 31st 2017

Showcased at E3 this year, this videogame asks players to see the world through sound; similar to how echolocation would work underwater. The noise you make highlight the surroundings around you in a creepy white line drawing style. Unfortunately, whilst using sound shows your path it also draws the attention of enemies. You will need to balance your need to see versus your need to keep safe. A slow and steady process that really gets under your skin.

Sprint Vector – Coming Soon

A fast-paced obstacle course racing title that asks players to swing their arms back and forth in order to increase the speed at which they travel. Climb, jump, leap across various obstacles and compete against friends or A.I.

Star Child – Coming Soon

Announced at E3, Elijah Wood’s videogame company Spectrevision and Ubisoft have created a psychological thriller videogame where players delve into the destructive tale of a man’s obsession as they explore his digitally recreated memories. Think Inception, but as a videogame where you have to solve puzzles in the man’s memories. VRFocus did an interview with Kyle McCullough from SpectreVision if you want more information.

Ultrawings VR – Coming Soon

Available on the Samsung Gear VR and now coming to PlayStation VR, this flying simulator allows you to try three different aircrafts, has several missions which in turn allows the player to purchase airports across three separate islands. Shoot balloons, take photos, fly through rings, race against players or practice that perfect landing.

Dead Hungry – October 31st2017

This tongue-in-cheek action videogame allows you to cook up a storm as a chef feeding some very hungry zombies. That’s right, you’re not killing zombies on mass but feeding them some very well-cooked hamburgers instead. Perfect for Halloween.

Eden Tomorrow – Coming Soon

Set in sci-fi world on what seems another planet, PGW is the first time anything of this videogame was showcased and very little is known about it for sure. However, it appears to be the evolution of previously announced VR title Eden. And features some very strange and bizarre looking creatures that resemble a Brachiosaurus. The teaser also features three-armed robotic drones and enormous monsters.

Monster of the Deep: Final Fantasy XV – November 21st 2017

Showcasing the first hands-on previews at PGW, the gameplay features customisable costumes, a various array of fish (and other creatures) and various ways of catching fish from travel to sonar detection.

Megalith – 2018

A first-person videogame where you play as a titan on a quest to become a powerful god. With destructible environment and a range of weapons in a stylised world.

Smash Hit Plunder – 2018

Set in a medieval castle with ghostly inhabitants, you play a young mage recently returned from magic school on a quest to delve into their family’s fraught past. You have to rebuild your family’s wealth and use your wand to uncover treasure, coins and crowns. As the name of the title suggests, you’ll have to do a lot of smashing and hitting things to do that. Venture into multiple dungeons, secret rooms and set things on fire, smash everything you see or sneak up on ghosts to find hidden gold.

Blood and Truth – 2018

Another new title to add to the growing list of PlayStation VR games available for players, you play a brutal gangster in London. On a quest to avenge his murdered family, you have to break into enemy hideouts, casinos and gun down your enemies. You need to be prepared for both stealth gameplay as well as ready to throw yourself into the action. The teaser showcase lock picking and a bomb detonating as you shoot down enemies.

Those are the latest videogames that have been announced or will be coming soon to the PlayStation VR. Watch the video below to get a glimpse of all the videogames and follow VRFocus for any further announcements on the videogames.

Paris Games Week: ‘Sprint Vector’, ‘Ultrawings’, & ‘Dead Hungry’ Coming to PSVR

Paris Games Week saw the announcement of two newly revealed games for PSVR, and among the rash of PS4 trailers comes the news that Ultrawings, Sprint Vector, and Dead Hungry are all making their way across the aisle to PSVR.

Bit Planet’s Ultrawings is an aerial-themed, open-world game where you’ll pilot multiple aircraft to complete a variety of missions across an island-themed world. Ultrawings currently holds a [9/10] on Steam for its HTC Vive and Oculus Rift version.

Sprint Vector from Survios, the developers behind Raw Data (2017), are bringing their foot-racing game to PSVR too alongside the Rift and HTC Vive version. The locomotion scheme is brilliant, and offers a nausea-free, fast-paced experience. Check out our latest hands-on here.

Dead Hungry from Q-Games is also headed to PSVR, which as a low-poly game makes a lot of sense. It’s done well on both Rift and Vive, and we’d expect the same out of the fast-paced action game that works a bit like Root Beer Tapper (1983) except with a much more complicated order and, you know… with zombies.

This news is breaking. Check back for more updates soon.

Dead Hungry Bites into PlayStation VR Tomorrow

A new first-person zombie videogame is coming to PlayStation VR tomorrow, it was announced at Sony Interactive Entertainment’s (SIE) Paris Games Week press conference today. Q-Games Dead Hungry is making the jump from PC to PlayStation 4 in time for Halloween.

The first title in Q-Games’ PixelJunk VR series, Dead Hungry is a tongue-in-cheek action videogame where the player is in the role of a cook in a food truck, desperately cooking up meals to satisfy the appetites of an invading zombie horde. Contrary to most zombie experiences in videogames, Dead Hungry is less about massacring the enemy and more about satisfying them, as a well-cooked meal can turn and angry zombie back into a productive member of society.

The original PixelJunk series was a mainstay of the PlayStation 3’s indie scene, and Q-Games is attempting to replicate that success in virtual reality (VR). No subsequent titles have yet been revealed, however with the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift editions of Dead Hungry already available it’s likely the team will soon be moving on to a new videogame.

Dead Hungry has seen significant success on the aforementioned PC formats, priced at £14.99 GBP.

Originally announced for release on 24th October 2017, Dead Hungry was pushed back a week but will still make it in time for Halloween, launching via the PlayStation Store tomorrow. You can see a brand new Dead Hungry trailer below and VRFocus will keep you updated with all the latest details from Q-Games.

Feed the Walking Dead on PlayStation VR as Dead Hungry Release Date Announced

Originally released for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive in 2016, Q-Games’ zombie feeding title Dead Hungry was officially confirmed to as an upcoming PlayStation VR experience last month. Today the studio has announced the launch date will be 24th October 2017.

Unlike most zombie filled videogames Dead Hungry isn’t about grabbing the closest weapon and popping a few heads. Instead it’s all centred around players having to make food for an ever increasing horde of ravenous walking dead.

So what do zombies like to eat? Well normally its brains or some unfortunate victims limb. In Dead Hungry it’s slightly less gruesome with players finding themselves in a takeaway food truck having to make burgers against the clock. While orders can contain ingredients like buns, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and of course a generous helping of beef patties, players can get somewhat creative with their creations using whatever comes to hand. Cook up a decent meal and the zombies will even start to return to human form.

Q-Games hasn’t said how much Dead Hungry will be, but with a price on Steam of £14.99 GBP for HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, expect it to be similar.

VRFocus will continue its coverage of Q-Games, reporting back with the latest VR updates.

Q-Games Releases First Trailer for Oculus Touch Title Dead Hungry

VRFocus first reported on Q-Games’ zombie feeding title Dead Hungry back in July when Sony Interactive Entertainment’s (SIE) Head of Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida was filmed demoing the title on the HTC Vive. Now the developer has released the first teasing footage of the title, but for the Oculus Touch controllers instead.

Dead Hungry follows a fairly simple premise, players have to make food for an ever increasing horde of ravenous zombies. As the trailer showcases, this involves cooking and building burgers, loading up buns with lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and other fillings in as fast a time as possible. There’s a timer located at the front of the hatch where players then throw the produce out to the hungry zombies waiting. But these burgers can contain whatever is to hand, put in a radio or a fire extinguisher for added points and alternative reactions to the various concoctions.

Q-Games will be taking Dead Hungry to this weeks Oculus Connect 3 (OC3) event in California. OC3 starts today, running through to Friday. The main announcements are expected tomorrow when the company holds the keynote address.

VRFocus will be there to bring you all the latest news and announcements, so stay tuned for updates.

Oculus Rift And Touch Get Flood Of New Game Trailers Ahead Of OC3

It’s the first day of Oculus Connect 3! Or it will be in a few hours from now. To help you get excited, we’ve got a swarm of trailers for new games on the way to Rift and Touch.

In truth, we’re not expecting much news out of OC3 day one; all the big announcements are likely being kept for tomorrow’s keynote speech. To tide you over until then, take a look at the trailers for four games currently on their way to the Rift, some of which will be using its new position tracked controllers while others will be dependent on the gamepad.

We’ll start with a brand new title first. Below is the trailer for Landfall, an Oculus Studios title developed by Force Field. It appears to be the “big budget, AAA” Oculus exclusive that was teased a few months back and looks like a multiplayer RTS. The world has fallen victim to a biblical flood, and those that remain form armies to fight for what’s left. It’s not the most optimistic view of humanity’s future, but we’re hoping it’ll make for some great gameplay.

Next up we have a look at Vox Machinae, the long-anticipated mech shooter from Space Bullet. We feel like we’ve been seeing this game for a while (it was shown at last year’s OC too) but we’re no less excited for its moody, atmospheric sci-fi battles. Laser beams and rockets fly as you stomp over desert-like planet surfaces. It’s just a short teaser, but we’re hoping that we’ll finally be able to get our hands on this one soon.

Okay, onto some Touch games. You may have seen us talk about Dead Hungry before. It’s a new title from PixelJunk and The Tomorrow Children developer, Q-Games. It seems pretty simple in concept, mixing the manic cooking genre in which you race against time to make the correct meals with the demand and hunger of a crowd of zombies. You use the Touch controllers to stack and serve burgers.

Finally, we have a pretty ambitious co-op game. Enigma Sphere, developed by yomune_co, takes the spirit of Portal 2‘s co-op campaign, getting you to work together to solve various challenges in a series of rooms. Rather than simply completing experiments, though, you’re actually trying to save the world. No pressure, then.

So that’s four new Oculus games we have to look forward to in the near future. Hopefully after the next few days we’ll have even more.
