That said, part of me still wondered if it would take the right headset with the right features and game library to transform the gaming medium forever. I'd reported on the industry and its games for years, but my actual playtime in a headset was limited to an Eve: Valkyrie demo at a GameStop ahead of PlayStation VR's launch, a couple of demos at trade shows, and one 15-minute session of Phantom: Covert Ops on Meta Quest 2 while hanging out with a friend.ĭespite claims by companies like Meta that VR would serve as the future of communication and entertainment, the technology seemed too scattershot and underdeveloped for my liking, with many competitors putting out underpowered headsets, many of which need a wire or two.

I’m already pining for PlayStation VR2 to get Half-Life: Alyxīefore my PlayStation VR2 arrived at my doorstep last week, my experience playing in VR was minimal.

Given the number of PSP games coming to the Vita recently, however, we have to wonder if Sony plans to offer more Vita-exclusive games through the program in the future. While not the best month we’ve seen from PlayStation Plus, the service continues to offer a wide variety of games that fans might otherwise not take for a spin. Drawing clear inspiration from classic arcade shooters, the game’s aesthetic mixes retro visuals with crisp, quick gameplay. Ultratron, which will also be available on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, is the Vita’s other free game in August and continues the month’s spaceship-heavy theme. The action-rhythm title was released in 2011 - shortly before the Vita’s launch - and received lukewarm reviews, with criticism directed at its repetition and difficulty. Vita owners will be getting another free PSP game this month: Patapon 3. Neon spaceship shooter Retro/Grade will also be free on the system all month. It should be the perfect appetizer for Yakuza 0, which will be hitting both North America and Europe in January. The open-world crime game was originally released in Japan nearly four years ago, but just saw a Western release in December. On PlayStation 3, subscribers will receive Yakuza 5.
