Sony have officially confirmed that a sequel headset to the PSVR is on the way, unsurprisingly dubbed the PSVR2 (personally I was holding out for the PSVitR… geddit? Like… like Ps Vita… god I need to be shot). 

Probably the bigger news is that the Headset will launch alongside the PSVR2 Sense Controller, which is a big deal. The original PSVR was a fine headset, but its biggest holdback was that it lacked a specific controller to play games with. Every other major headset has their own controllers which work with motion controles to simulate your hands in VR, however the PSVR chose instead to just use the Dualshock 4 controller. This limited the kinds of games that could be put on the platform, and also lowered the immersion of the experience. The PSVR2 Sense controllers, however, are much more inline with the kinds of controllers you get with something like an Oculus Quest or Valve Index.

The Sense controller will have some legs up on most of the competition, however. With it featuring Haptic Feedback and adaptive triggers, the Controller will be comparable in many ways to the Valve Index Controller, which is the Gold standard of VR controllers right now (along with, honestly, the entire Valve index just being the best VR headset out there)

While its unlikely the PSVR2 will top the Valve Index in pure power, it doesn’t need to as it is a proprietary addon to the PlayStation and doesn’t have to compete with other companies like Valve does on PC with HTC’s Vive headset and Metas Oculus Platform.

Alongside this, PlayStation also Unveiled Horizon call of the mountain, a VR spinoff to the hugely popular Horizon Franchise.

While the actual headset has not been shown off yet, Sony did unveil some specs for the headset, including that it would feature OLED screens with a resolution of 2000 X2040 per eye, and also that the device would be capable of a 90Hz to 120Hz refresh rate, allowing for Higher FPS and deeper immersion. He headset will use IR cameras for tracking rather than Base stations and lasers, which will keep costs down for people looking to get into the product, as well as the headset featuring six-axis Motion sensing.

Sony Interactive Entertainment have reportedly made a 5% investment in the US indie game company Devolver Digital!

Devolver Digital has built something of a name for itself in the industry for usually specializing in action-based 16-bit combat games with modern gameplay innovations. A must-play of theirs on all devices (to my knowledge) is BROFORCE (not Broforce, not Bro Force, BROFORCE): A 2D platformer-shooter hybrid wherein you get to play alone or in co-op (online or local) as various “bro”-ified versions of 80s and 90s action heroes from film and TV. And I swear, the one-liners from the bloke in “story” mode are hilarious! And while a VR would require me to sell more kidneys than I physically have to get one, Gorn is also a suitably hilarious action-filled romp from Devolver Digital. Speaking of VR, we have plenty of compatible games here at the store, including Skyrim VR for PS4 and PS5, The Persistence, Here They Lie and more.

Devlolver Digital has recently made a splash in the London Stock Exchange (LSE) according to GameIndustry.biz reports that the company has been trading on AIM (a sub-market in the LSE) after a flotation that values the company at almost… One BILLION dollars. Fieldfisher, a Europe-based advising law firm to Devolver confirmed the company received:

“A significant strategy investment from a key industry player”.

Upcoming titles with gameplay previews and trailers for Devolver include Weird West (think Disco Elysium meets Fistful of Dollars meets Lord of the Rings), Shadow Warrior 3 and Demon Throttle (AKA, “ain’t no school like the old school” The Game). A sequel to the peculiar puzzle game The Talos Principle was also announced for development.

More famous titles from Devolver include Hotline Miami (psst, you can get the Hotline collection HERE), the Takeshi’s Castle-inspired Fall Guys and most recently, the “reverse-horror” game Carrion, seeing you play as a monster based on John Carpenter’s The Thing.

CEO of Devolver Digital Douglas Morin has made the following statements:

“An IPO is the right choice for us to ensure our continued growth and support even more wonderful games”.

“Being a public company gives liquidity to our amazing team, all of whom are shareholders. It also gives us access to capital markets to continue investing in our growth strategy and talent”.

[Becoming a publicly traded company] “means Devolver Digital will be able to continue to invest into all the games we’re working on now, partner on new ones that we’ve previously not been able to consider, and add more of the fine people we love working with into our cadre of consummate video game professionals”.

Sony Interactive Entertainment said last week that its development workforce has grown by almost 20% this fiscal year

Douglas also announced closer collaborative work with developers from companies Devolver has collaborated with in the past, such as Croteam, Dodge Roll, Nerial (who made a game based on George Orwell’s Animal Farm of all things and I am Here For It) and FireFly Studios.

He also highlighted that “full creative autonomy” would continue to be encouraged amongst those working on Devolver Digital projects, which has personally made my art-boner fly high in the sky.
