They said they have more to announce. I'm thinking Multiplayer might be next.

Yeah I caught that too, they said they had more stuff to announce about VR later in the year. I'm thinking Co-op too, not sure what else it could be. Maybe BL3 will have VR support out the box that would be cool
I also believe that they won't come with PS5 and PSVR2 at the same time.
And honestly that would be good for VR in general.
VR needs bigger userbase and I believe that they found the "sweetspot" with it at US200.
Explore this price tag and future discounts around it before bringing a new model to the market.
If PS5 launches in 2020 in my opinion we shouldn't see PSVR2 before 2022.
You can twist and turn the aim controller to your hearts content and the animated hands on the virtual gun will follow suit. You can see what I mean here:

Nice, thanks for the preview. I was lucky to snag one yesterday and tried Borderlands 2 with it. Very pleased so far, can't wait to try DOOM VFR again!
Shuhei Yoshida tweeted about an indie game I'd never heard of, sounds like an interesting concept for a co-op game.

In short, it looks like a third person action adventure... but it's actually first person, and you have to be careful about looking at your partner because you can accidentally turn him to stone. You can play it single player or co-op.
Based on google translate and the video the controls seem awkward, but the concept is fascinating. I gotta love what happens when small developers get a hold of a new medium.

Seems like you move in third person, but shoot in first person. That's an interesting idea to avoid motion sickness for people that get it from smooth movement.
The concept is neat but Medusa's design is highly disappointing. Those aren't snakes, that's just flowing green hair. :(
Dual wielding highlights the issue of no thumbsticks even more. Waving your left hand to target enemies would introduce crosstalk in your locomotion direction, and vice versa.
Also, I don't know how they could map both ascend/descend and snapturn left/right to the right Move, with the limited inputs.
The damning thing is, if only square circle x triangle were arranged in a diamond pattern instead of a square pattern, it would probably have been a semi-decent substitute for analog sticks.
Have I praised AstroBot this week yet? Well, consider this my weekly compliment. I'm on World 5 and I've avoided looking at the secret trophies thus far. How hard is the Platinum in that game?
Not really hard and the trophies don't really contain spoilers beyond a description of every boss in the game for their trophy. It's basically: find all bots and chameleons in all levels, do 25-ish new and harder challenge levels plus do a few level-specific things like scoring a goal in the soccer goal on the beach. After that, you will have enough coins to obtain all the models from a claw crane minigame for the last trophy.
Some challenge levels are pretty hard but with practice, it's doable and fun.
No there is no co-op yet but at PAX when they announced it they said they had some other VR announcements but they would announce those at a later date so hoping it's co-op.
Ugh, wish they would just announce everything. I'm now also left just waiting for the DLC patch to hit until i can start the game :D Bought it though as it's on sale.
I would obviously like more VR games in PS+ but I honestly think it's a good sign. It seems like Sony is fine with how PSVR is doing and don't see the need to push it with PS+ games.
They were putting PSVR games under PS+ for a few months. It was like 1 PSVR title for 2 months and then replaced with another for 2 months. I'd be TOTALLY happy with that.
Ancient Amuletor? It came out two years ago. I never played it but I remember it got mixed reviews because the gameplay gets repetitive.
must be a PSVR event going on at the moment?

The fact that you have to point the moves away from your desired movement direction in Iron Man is interesting. Besides being faithful to the character, intuitively it feels like it would be less precise, but that may be part of the fun.
I have an OG PS4 I use for PSVR and I have a handful of PSVR titles which I'm putting on hold (I played and loved SUPERHOT VR and Astrobot) + the games which will have a PSVR patch.
Is buying a PS4 Pro worht it ? I don't have a 4K display currently bit for the games to run a bit better and better in VR would be interesting for sure

NMS in VR sounds the ultimate version, Physically opening doors on our ships, Physically using the thrusters and they have used the moves well regarding UI aswell and weapon management.
All signs are good for NMS, Iron Man.

Great to hear Iron-Man VR isn't just a cheap cash grab and looks like it might be decent after all.
Really looking forward to the VR patch for NMS, but I think when it comes to the ship, vehicle stuff, I might switch back over to the DS controller. That will probably be a bit more responsive and accurate, especially if you plan to do any space combat.
Man, I am more than happy with all the PSVR good news we have in the last days. NMS in VR is my most anticipated thing of the year.
It's...not bad, but it's kind of janky. At that price, though, I doubt you'd regret picking it up; it's kind of a cross between SuperHot and Job Simulator, but not as good as you'd hope that would be.
Been thinking about picking up Borderlands 2 VR. I played Borderlands 2 ages ago, and loved it. Reviews I'm reading aren't that good though.
I don't mind playing with a controller. Is the lack of multiplayer really that much of a bad thing? Is the experience of feeling like you are in the borderlands world worth it?

Yes it's worth it. It's really good with the aim controller too. They are also going to add all the dlc in a future update.
I'm considering a few games from the sale myself. Space Pirate Trainer is 6€, thoughts? Any kind-of-must-buy out there?
SPT is simple, but it's lots of fun. I paid more than that and was satisfied. Absolutely worth 6€!
That's my question too. Which one out of this and a Catch and Release is better and more content rich?
I haven't played Fisherman's Tale yet, but it's definitely on my must-buy list (no sale in the US store, sadly). Every review I've seen of it has been glowing.
I've heard that it's great but a bit on the shorter side. High quality experience that can be completed in an afternoon with little to no replay value, and doesn't utilize it's good ideas to their fullest. That about sums up all the reviews I have read.
I played it in Rift. It's a very polished experience. However, it's more of a story book and less of a game. The unique puzzles are the best part and worth the experience alone but note that they are maybe 60% of the whole experience. The rest is storytelling. It's probably a few hours long if you play without hints. It's also very French in tone, humor and voice work.
Really wish they would update Astro Bot to allow you to re-rescue the robots if you replay the level. It looses some of its charm when they replace them for coins. I have actually restarted the game several times because I want the person that is playing the game for the first time to not loose out on that.
You can create new accounts. Otherwise you can also download the demo (you can have both the game and the demo). The demo reset everytime so it good for guest that won't need a saved game.
