Sony is planning to increase its PlayStation Virtual Reality gaming catalogue by 80 per cent by releasing an additional 130 in 2018.
One man wearing a virtual reality helmet was the star of the show on Wednesday, drawing crowds of dozens to watch him play a VR game in an attempt to break a Guinness World Record for the longest time spent playing a single VR session. 31-year-old gamer Johannes Loeffelmann strapped on the headset from a Playstation PS4 Pro VR set, secured both hand controllers, and dove into the Matrix.
Playstation has announced that they will be holding a conference next month to reveal the mid-generation upgrade for their latest console the Playstation 4. Some people have been calling it the Playstation4K, or the Playstation 4.5 but SONY's code name for the project is the Neo. The world will get to know a lot more about this update for the console on September 7th. But Microsoft has already beat Sony to the punch by releasing information about their updated console during the Electronic Entertainment Expo known as E3 last month. While fans are expecting Playstation to have a 4K update, but there are rumors that the Playstation Neo could have even more impressive graphic stats.
YouTubers live or die based on the interests of their audiences. The shift toward VR could potentially impact them even further. Relating that part of the problem with VR is technical, Youtuber Drift0r said, “My VR video underperformed. It was incredibly hard to film because it’s not forward-facing. It captures the entire room, everybody’s shoes, lights everything.” Drift0r says that phones are really the future when it comes to VR. “Mobile phones now have roughly the same power as an Xbox 360. Imagine two or three years from now, phones will only be faster with more resources toward gaming. There will be impressive mobile games, VR mobile games.”
Sony is reportedly planning on upgrading the PS4. The “PS4.5,” as it is unofficially being called, is said to have a more powerful GPU to support 4K resolution for games and to add more processing power to enhance titles that support the PlayStation VR. Overall, having a stronger GPU would allow for all games on PS4 to have added graphical effects and upgrades.
