Gamers Unite July 2016 | Page 27

Right after the last trailer, we got shown a trailer for a new game from Quantic Dream, Detroit Become Human. This is the game that many of us never knew we wanted. The game itself, in my opnion, looks and feels amazing. The liberty of choice and the number of outcomes that a player can have makes this game reminiscent of Heavy Rain. The thought of an Android Negotiator/Detective sound like the makings of a great game. I hope to get a chance to play this game. What can I say? Another win!

Then rapidly we get the first fully VR experience from

Playstation. It all started with a first person trailer,

which showcased a new horror game. At the end of the

trailer we found out that this trailer belonged to

Resident Evil VII: Biohazard. What an awesome way to

showcase the game. They also showed a release date of

January 24, 2017 and a Demo teaser that same night on

the Playstation Store for PS Plus users. The trailer had a classic first person horror game feel reminiscent of PT. Win, win, win!

Then Sony gave us a chance to catch our breath, as the presenter came out to explain a bit more about the Playstation VR, show the release date of October 13th with a price point of $399 USD and that the Sony will have 50 game since launch till the end of the year with VR capabilities. This was wonderful news and got me really excited since they just showcased RE7 with VR capabilities. Just think of the posibilities. Thumbs up, win!

Right after they showcased a few more VR games. They started with Farpoint, a game reminiscent of Mass Effect, it had similar guns and terrains. The game looked good but I feel that the real appeal to the game is when you look at it through a VR headset. Although I like space, I can't honestly say that this is a win. The game is by no means a bust but not a win!

Then they showed a new Battlefront, Playstation VR exclusive mission, titled Star Wars Battlefront: X-Wing VR Mission. This mission puts you in the pilot seat of an X-Wing and lets all those Star Wars fans live their dream. For me, I felt they could have done a VR Star Wars game instead of just a mission. For me, not a win but not a bust.
