Don't worry too much on the price. Yoshida has confirmed it will not cost as much as Sony' HMZ lineup:



My guess: it will be around USD300 for VR headset bundled with camera, and USD250 for VR headset.

So, it's SONY vs FACEBOOK then.

Latest PlayStation VR news from #PlayStationPGW:

Overall showcase:




A VR add-on to Until Dawn



This year's PlayStation 4 title Until Dawn was something between a horror adventure game and an interactive slasher film, which turned out to be a pretty good combination. Rush of Blood, based on what we heard today, is a more carnivalesque take on the world. It's "a roller coaster ride, a shooter experience, and the descent into madness of one of our characters from Until Dawn.

A new trailer for Rigs: Mechanized Combat League



Rigs feels like an indirect answer to Hawken, the mech combat game that was hugely anticipated but never quite realized on the original Oculus Rift development kit. Announced earlier this year, it's a team-based sport where six players control giant robots and play basketball by way of Quake deathmatches in the year 2065.

More details on Robinson: The Journey



Crysis developer Crytek has been playing around with dinosaur-themed VR demos since at least 2014, and we found out why at this year's E3: it's planning a dino-heavy game called Robinson: The Journey. Well, we now know that Robinson is coming to PlayStation VR, and that it appears to star a character named Robin, a panoply of extinct animals, and a small robot with a distinct resemblance to Halo's Guilty Spark.

Battlezone is still coming to VR



The VR reboot of classic Atari arcade game Battlezone (which itself had VR-like features, at least by '80s standards) was already announced, and there's only so much you can say about it. You're a tank. You fight other tanks. It's got a pretty cool neon-drenched low-poly art style. And you'll see a lot of all these things in the new trailer above.

Gran Turismo will be VR-compatible



There. That's effectively all we know about the virtual reality components of Gran Turismo Sport, which was announced at the keynote.

Tekken 7 will have VR too



Again, this is all we know, although 3D fighting games feel like a natural fit for virtual reality — players would have a front-row seat at the metaphorical fighting ring. If you want to hear Tekken characters talk a lot about their interpersonal conflicts, the non-VR-specific trailer is above.

PlayStation VR Worlds Combines Five VR Experiences Into One Game



PS VR Worlds is a collection of five different VR experiences that have all been built from the ground up exclusively for the PS VR headset.

In PlayStation VR Worlds you will be treated to incredible visuals as your dive beneath the waves, tackle 360 combat as you fight off alien hordes from all around you, or end up in a face-to-face interrogation with a deranged and furious mobster. All brought to you with the immersion that makes VR so unique. You may have seen snapshots of some of these experiences before as demos, others are being revealed for the very first time.

So what are these five experiences that make up the game?

The London Heist puts you straight into a gritty gangland thriller where you get to unleash your inner gangster. The London Heist is best controlled by dual PS Move controllers but you can also play with a DualShock 4 instead with intuitive controls that make it surprisingly easy to pick up and play. You will feel highly immersed as you undertake an audacious robbery and then try to make your escape.

Into The Deep (working title) puts you to work as a deep sea salvor. It’s an emotional underwater roller coaster. Not only do you get to see fantastic marine life all around you but as you descend through the ocean layers to the inky depths you will experience the true terror of something going horribly wrong.

VR Luge lets you step into the jumpsuit of an illegal street racer. Thunder down a beautiful Californian hillside, only inches off the ground in a position that only VR can put you in. You will truly feel the exhilaration as you dodge cars coming at you with horns blaring or when you slide underneath a massive 18-wheel truck.

Danger Ball is a futuristic sport where you must win or die. Use your head to strike and spin the ball in this intense, fast paced, game. Each rival has unique abilities to use against you as you make your way through the tournament to become champion.

Finally we have Scavenger’s Odyssey. In this cab based sci-fi adventure you play an alien treasure hunter. With your agile craft you can leap huge distances, climb walls, hurl debris with your Scavenger beam, and pummel alien critters with your twin pulse cannons. With your unique vehicle you will be able to make your way through a dangerous, infested environment of giant ravaged ships, smashing asteroids to reach an ancient and legendary artifact.

Final retail product official images:

PS4 camera is mandatory. PS3 Move is optional (you can use DS4).

LoL will keep for museum later.

Will be testing the Playstation VR in half an hour. Will give my impression later.
