PlayStation Confirms PS5 Next-Gen VR, Gran Turismo 7 Delayed to 2022

@Tea Thanks!

Don't know why they have to be so coy sometimes, they just need to say yes or no. So those of us who want to organise our own imports can do so.

At least I'll be able to get Atelier 2 and Judgement if they decide not to stock the game.

That would be cool too! I have this urge to replay the trilogy every now and then, but my pile of shame prevents me

YES! HZD2 and GOW
Elder Rings would be nice!
I know some PC Ports are on the way but more new things would be nice. Wish some old IP"s could come back to life. I would pay for new Parasite Eve and Legend of Dragoon... but alas...

Morning
@Tea

YES! Really looking forward to the State of Play. Thinking of getting some Bloodborne Co-Op done to help some new players while we wait for the Show....

Any wishes for the new State of Play for you?

PlayStation Confirms PS5 Next-Gen VR, Gran Turismo 7 Delayed to 2022

by Sam Aberdeen on 23 February, 2021

PlayStation's dive into virtual reality proved to be quite a modest success for the gaming giant when they launched the PSVR in 2016. The reception was mostly positive, though it was clear that the specs beneath the flashy exterior held back much of its capabilities (something surpassed in more recent VR headsets). It looks like Sony is aiming to take another stab at virtual reality though, as they recently announced a next-gen VR system for the PlayStation 5 - more powerful in every way. Unfortunately, one highly anticipated exclusive has received the boot out of 2021 too.

PlayStation recently confirmed via a blog post the existence of next-gen VR for PlayStation 5. The system will basically act as a major improvement over its predecessor, enhancing every facet of the technology. This includes a better resolution, field of view, tracking and input, and allow for high-fidelity visuals. There will also be a new VR controller that utilizes the DualSense features, which should feel spectacular in VR. Unfortunately, we won't be playing this anytime soon as it won't launch in 2021. Amidst all the rumours of Resident Evil Village being VR compatible, we can't wait to see how this new tech supports it.

In other (slightly sadder) PlayStation news, PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan spoke to GQ Magazine about the future of the company and the many hardships that they've faced in the midst of the ongoing global pandemic. This led to PlayStation issuing a statement, announcing that Gran Turismo 7 will be pushed to 2022 from its original 2021 planned release.

"GT7 has been impacted by Covid-related production challenges and therefore will shift from 2021 to 2022," said the statement. "With the ongoing pandemic, it’s a dynamic and changing situation and some critical aspects of game production have been slowed over the past several months. We’ll share more specifics on GT7’s release date when available."

With Gran Turismo 7 out of the year for Sony, it still leaves both Horizon Forbidden West and God of War: Ragnarok with unconfirmed 2021 release dates. We're fairly certain that at least one of those will be pushed into 2022 too, as COVID-19 continues to prove difficult for developers to efficiently polish and refine their games.
