Playstation Diving Further into Virtual Worlds

Playstation Diving Further into Virtual Worlds

With any new hardware release there is always the worry that it won’t sell and as a result, the software dries up. Thankfully that seems like it won’t be a problem with the PS VR. It had a few quiet months this year, release-wise, but that looks to change very soon with a host of VR titles about to hit. You can have a look at all the 2017 releases below.

Gran Turismo Sport (available from 18 October 2017)

Each release in the Gran Turismo series becomes the new benchmark in realistic auto-racing games, and that bar is about to be raised – big time. With PS VR, you’ll feel like you’re in the driver’s seat, increasing the immersion to new heights. You can see racing in Gran Turismo Sport with PS VR here

Stifled (available from 31 October 2017)

Stifled is a unique horror game where you can only reveal your surroundings by creating sound waves – either by throwing nearby objects or speaking into the headset’s built-in mic. Keep in mind, however, that any noise you make may also reveal your location to the grotesque creatures that are lurking in the darkness. You can see the microphone demo trailer here.

The Inpatient (available from 22 November 2017)

The premise is the stuff of nightmares: you’re a patient in the Sanatorium and suffering from amnesia, your main goal is to unearth your memories-to discover who you are and why you’re there.
