Sony has teased a string of new games for its PSVR virtual reality headset hardware prior to the E3 video games show in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
VR content for role-playing adventure Skyrim was shown, as was a new first-person horror title, The Inpatient.<\/p>\n
A virtual reality fishing simulator for Final Fantasy – Monster of the Deep – was also debuted.<\/p>\n
It contrasts sharply with rival Microsoft’s announcements at E3 this year, which barely mentioned VR.<\/p>\n
Last week, Sony revealed that it has sold one million PSVR headsets to date, meaning there is already a sizeable market for new VR titles.<\/p>\n
The company also used its E3 show to highlight a string of new blockbuster titles that will be coming to the PS4.<\/p>\n
“You could say that they’re using VR as a differentiating factor,” said Brian Blau, a video games analyst at Gartner.<\/p>\n
“VR experiences on PlayStation are pretty good.”<\/p>\n
One further example of a brand new VR title unveiled at the briefing was Bravo Team – a first-person shooter from Supermassive Games, the developers behind Until Dawn.<\/p>\n
