During today State of Play Sony has once again unveiled six new games for PlayStation VR2, all of which will be released throughout the year. This confirms a previous leak, but also reveals some brand-new developments.
This includes Synapse From nDreams, a next-gen VR shooter. The title places players in a beautifully abstract world with two-handed combat that evolves Fracked's acclaimed run-and-gun gameplay, featuring expressive 1:1 telekinesis in one hand and deadly, tactile weapons in the other.
Players take advantage of this deadly combination while mastering their own fighting style to fight their way through a hostile mind world.
“Synapse is the culmination of a decade of pure VR development,” said James Shepherd, head of nDreams Studio. “Following the success of Phantom and Fracked, we challenged ourselves to push VR gameplay to new limits with the power of PS VR2. The team more than rose to the challenge, and the result is a milestone release that sets the standard for our next 10 years of innovation.”
Synapse Released in 2023.

Before Your Eyes
The final title is Before Your Eyes, an interactive afterlife experience played through blinking in real life. Here, you utilize the advanced gaze-tracking technology of the PlayStation VR2 to control the flow of the story as you relive precious memories of your family, first love, and the rise of an artistic career – all without a controller.
The headset's forward-facing camera immerses you in a completely voice-controlled story that will break your heart and explore the impossible expectations you set for yourself to deal with the worries we carry around.
Aside from the "before your eyes" feature, the games don't just look incredibly awful, they also look almost identical... Is Ryan really trying to sell potential customers a €500 VR headset with this kind of shoddy software? What's his plan if Microsoft acquires ActiBliz? Has he already spoken with Capcom and SE about acquiring this cancer (Microsoft)? Or is Mr. Ryan simply pouring all his energy and money into whining in court?
Unfortunately, I have to agree. Everything I've tried so far is indie-level. There are some nice things, but it doesn't have the wow factor of the old days. I don't think anything big is coming, just the occasional highlight – but you don't need to spend €600 for that. The biggest rip-off for me is Horizon. €70 for a tech demo that looks pretty. LOL
And Gran Turismo? Is that also an indie level? It's not quite finished yet, as the menu etc. hasn't been adjusted... But it still shows what's possible and what's still possible.
If more of this content comes out, then yes, but that's not certain. I haven't seen GT myself yet, but I'm not going to spend 80 EUR on it either.
It's available for €50 or less, and the VR update is free.
But not in the PlayStation Store ^^ Sony is taking full advantage there, as usual.
Instant gaming credit: this is how you can reduce costs. €75 credit costs €61.
His plan is to save Cod; sometimes I think he's intertwined that with his own life story. If the deal goes through, I wouldn't be surprised if he has to resign; if he prevents that, he'll get free rein.
