Paris Games Week 2015 has officially started, and Sony has begun with a press conference featuring some major announcements. Details about PlayStation VR games including the big-time franchises Tekken and Gran Turismo were shared. It seems that the PlayStation 4 accessory, which will launch sometime during the first half of 2016 will include several new video game titles including the fighting and racing classics.
Sony's VR event started with a trailer for the first-person-perspective title "RIGS." The game is set in a futuristic version of Dubai and features mech suits and team-based shooting.
Next, "Until Dawn: Rush of Blood" is a spin-off of a survival horror game that Supermassive Games released a few months ago. The PlayStation blog states it is an on-rails shooter.
Crytek has developed a new first-person game for PlayStation 4 entitled "Robinson: The Journey," which puts the player in a world of dinosaurs. In the trailer the player character hides under a stampede of the giant creatures. It also includes a robot ball.
Sony also announced at the Paris event that PlayStation VR will support two games from classic franchises: "Gran Turismo Sport" and "Tekken 7." The racing game's beta version will be launched early next year, according to Wired.
Few details were provided about "Tekken 7"in particular. It raises several issues, as almost all PlayStation VR games are from the first person perspective, according to IGN. Sony confirmed Tekken 7 on the PlayStation 4 platform will include some exclusive content.
The Japanese electronics giant also announced at Paris Games Week that more than 200 developers are laboring on the PlayStation VR experiences.
Here is a trailer for Gran Turismo Sport:
