The Ace Combat 7 trailer was buns. That should be a perfect VR game, but I don't have high hopes now.

Sony's Jim Ryan(The dude who said "why would anybody play this?" in regards to legacy Playstation games) said they're in it for the long haul.

Sony’s Jim Ryan Confirms Its Commitment To VR: ‘We’re In It For The Long Haul’

Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) has had a flaky history with its accessories for PlayStation, with the company releasing add-ons then seemingly losing interest in providing content. When PlayStation VR released last year this fear was reignited due to the cost of the peripheral. One year later that’s shown not to be the case, with SIE confirming its commitment to VR and the future of the technology.

In an interview with the Telegraph, Jim Ryan, Head of Global Sales and Marketing at SIE was asked about whether there’s enough significant public interest in VR, to which he responded: “Yes I do. I think VR we definitely see as having the potential to be a very significant part of the future of interactive entertainment. Now quite what the horizon is and quite what the rate of pace of adoption is, that’s still a little unclear. But Sony is committed to this and we’re in it for the long haul.”

That positivity towards PlayStation VR and VR in general was certainly seen in this week’s Paris Games Week press conference which featured a bunch of new videogames as well as revealing details on some already known. New videogames included Fast Travel Games’ Apex Construct, Survios’ Sprint Vector, Blood & Truth by Sony London Studio, Megalith and Bow to Blood.

While launch date details were revealed for Moss, Dead Hungry and League of War: VR Arena, and Star Child, Ultrawings, Smash Hit Plunder and Resident Evil VII biohazard DLC Not a Hero also made an appearance.

That commitment doesn’t just include software as SIE has recently begun rolling out a new version of the PlayStation VR, adding a few extra improvements to the design. And it’s not going to stop there with Ryan stating on further iterations: “Sure – Sony’s a hardware company. We’re always looking at iteration – we’ve got nothing to announce right now – but the history of our involvement in gaming has involved iteration and improvement.”

When asked about PlayStation VR’s tracking technology – which is seen as one of the devices main draw backs when compared to Oculus Rift or HTC Vive – Ryan added: “We’re looking at the whole thing constantly. Looking at how people use it, the things that they enjoy about it, the things they’d like to see improved and our engineers are constantly innovating and looking at new stuff.”

As SIE continues its development of PlayStation VR, VRFocus will keep you updated.

Introducing the PlayStation VR Skyrim VR Bundle


The November 17 release date for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR is just around the corner, and we couldn’t be happier to announce that we’re making it easier than ever to enjoy the epic open world of The Elder Scrolls with the PlayStation VR Skyrim VR Bundle.

The PlayStation VR Skyrim VR Bundle includes the PS VR system, PlayStation Camera, two PlayStation Move controllers, and Skyrim VR — including the Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn add-ons. Also included is an updated PS VR Demo Disc that features demos from 13 PS VR titles.

The PlayStation VR Skyrim Bundle will launch alongside the game on November 17 in the U.S. for $449.99 USD and in Canada for $579.99 CAD. If you want to make sure you get your hands on one, pre-order your bundle starting today.

This is the full length open-world game you have been waiting to experience in virtual reality. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s stellar reputation hardly needs an introduction, as the title has won more than 200 game of the year awards in its time. We simply can’t wait for PS4 gamers to experience it like never before. For those who are longtime fans of the game, Skyrim VR will transport you right into the game’s epic world. For those who have yet to play Skyrim, you are in for massive treat.



Dragons, long lost to the passages of the Elder Scrolls, have returned to Tamriel and the future of the Empire hangs in the balance. As the Dragonborn, the prophesied hero born with the power of The Voice, you are the only one who can stand amongst them. And you will — all in a stunning virtual reality package. Skyrim VR can be played with either a DualShock 4 or the PlayStation Move controllers. To heighten your experience, each controller also enables you to customize your movement with both free movement and teleportation options.

This bundle will come with the updated PS VR system featuring revised design that enables the stereo headphone cables to be integrated with the VR headset, and a slimmer, streamlined connection cable. The updated PS VR system also comes with a new Processor Unit that supports HDR pass through, enabling users to enjoy HDR-compatible PS4 content on a TV without having to disconnect the Processor Unit between the TV and the PS4.

We are also excited to launch a brand new TV spot that drops you into the frigid and relentless plains of Skyrim as you get ready for an all-new journey against rival factions, creatures, and Alduin — the worldeater.

Long time player? Tell us your favorite Skyrim memory! New player eager to jump in? What are you most excited for?

FUS RO DAH!
