Launch libraries are always a weird thing. Looking at the PS4 and Xbox One launch libraries, there wasn’t really too much to play that was worthwhile when the consoles first shipped. But people weren’t necessarily buying the new consoles for the new games that were already available, but the promise of games to come. Still, it’s important to be able to take your technology home and use it immediately, which is why launch libraries are so crucial. Virtual Reality might as well be its own kind of new generation console, but what will be available when PlayStation VR launches?
Over on Reddit, there is a list of PlayStation VR games that have been confirmed. These range from the truly fun and immersive The London Heist to the game that is guaranteed to make me hurl, Adrift. But I don’t see that horror experience that was Kitchen anywhere, so there are still some titles left out. Still, checking out the full list there are already 50+ titles confirmed for PlayStation VR.
That’s already a rather impressive launch library – way larger than what we saw on PS4 or Xbox One at launch. Then again, most of these titles will probably only run you an hour or so to complete – I can’t imagine people being comfortable with marathon gaming sessions of VR at the start. But with plenty of hours of gaming available at launch, it does sound like there will be a decent value on offer for those who jump into VR from the start.
None of the titles are must have VR games for me, though. Even No Man’s Sky won’t convince me to buy the headset when it first ships. I’m curious about VR, but at this point it still seems like a rather expensive novelty rather than a must have piece of gaming tech. I do want to play the rest of The London Heist, though – anyone want to share their VR with me at launch so I can see what happens?

Like Warframe reminding me that I’ve been playing for more than an hour, I mean pffff please, 1hr, that is like hardly breaking a sweat

At least 2 hours later it still thinks you are playing for an hour.

I might have opened Pandora’s Box with getting back into Warframe. I spent 10 hours in it last week alone

Although, if I hit a 75% discount on plat, I’m buying slots!

“WILL GRIND FOR PLAT”
Alien Emperor Trevor
November 3, 2015 at 13:34
lol. The grind. I did over 20 T3Es to get the last part of the frame you saw me using last night. Which excludes all the grinding for random keys in missions & for syndicate rep to buy random key packs.
Ottokie
November 3, 2015 at 13:35
Hey, before you spend more on them keypacks. Have a look if your syndicate has vampire leech for trinity mod 😛
Alien Emperor Trevor
November 3, 2015 at 13:37
Don’t have Trinity mods in Steel Meridian or Red Veil. New Loka does, but I’m still trying to decide if I should go through the pain of leveling them & Perrin Sequence.

I am spamming trade, no one wants to trade me xD
Guess I will have to get a 3rd syndicate started.

Can I sell things for Plat?
Ottokie
November 3, 2015 at 13:44
Yup prime parts and rare mods, but only if you have lots of doubles. Because they are very useful in the game ahead.
Grand Admiral Chief SpaceNinja
November 3, 2015 at 13:52
Cool, we’ll chat tonight, then you can tell me what is rare or not, and I’ll BUY MORE SLOTS MUAHAHAHA

Playing golf with the Move was pretty nice

Why not rather grab a golf car, slap in a cooler box full of refreshments, and go for a 18 hole bos-hokkie?

I was also a very close to first adopter of the Kinect 1.0…. That makes me very scared to try new tech!! But some of those trailers shown last week has me very intrigued and I might just take the plunge again.

I think VR is going to be a turning point for gaming, even it will only be for year before the VR tech evolves into something else, As a gamer I’m definitely going to be part of it. From the few demos I’ve seen & little experience I’ve had it’s enough to get me hyped….
