A Certain Magical Index x Virtual-On crossover due out in 2018.



Certain-Magical-Cyber-Trooper-Ann-PS4-PSV.jpg


Sega has announced a A Certain Magical Virtual-On for PlayStation 4 and PS Vita, a crossover between Dengeki Bunko’s A Certain Magical Index light novel series and Sega’s Cyber Troopers Virtual-On action game series stemming from a crossover light novel published in May 2016. It is a high-speed battle action game with online support due out in Japan in 2018.


A Certain Magical Virtual-On is set in the world of A Certain Magical Index, in which Cyber Troopers Virtual-On appears as a “sport.” Stemming from the people piloting Virtuaroids mechas and participating in this sport was a sudden development leading to a world crisis that will eventually be made clear. The game is being written by A Certain Magical Index author Kazuma Kamachi, and Virtual-On series character designer Hajime Katoki is in charge of illustrations.



The world that appears in A Certain Magical Index will carry over to the game. Starting with the protagonist Toma Kamijo, various characters including Index, Accelerator, and Mikoto Misaka will pilot Virtuaroids, and fierce battles will unfold in the Academy City setting.
The high-speed battle action that has become a staple of the Virtual-On series will be present, and Sega promises to make maximum use of the experience it gained in developing the series.





The special abilities possessed by the characters of the A Certain Magical Index series will be amplified by piloting a Virtuaroid—fired as an attack from the mecha—and used as a new battle method. It is said to be “one of this game’s biggest appeals.”






Watch the teaser trailer below.

Update 5:00 p.m.: The original version of this post called the game A Certain Magical Cyber Trooper (Virtual-On).



I didn’t realize that the “Virtual-On” in parenthesis was an alternate reading for “Dennou Senki,” which Sega usually localizes as “Cyber Troopers.” After watching the trailer with sound I realized the title of the game should be read Toaru Majutsu no Virtual-On, or A Certain Magical Virtual-On.


Update 9:35 p.m.: We’ve updated the post with more information, as provided by Sega’s official news release linked in the story.

[FONT=&quot]The Ghostbusters are hiring new busters in this episodic title[/FONT]


[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Somewhat out of the blue, a new Ghostbusters game has launched on the PlayStation 4's PSVR. It's called Ghostbusters: Now Hiring. As the title implies, players take control of a new Ghostbuster hired onto the team.
This title is actually an episodic release, similar to TellTale's The Walking Dead and the latest Hitman. The first episode is titled 'Firehouse'. Jake Zim, senior vice president of VR at Sony Pictures (who produced 2016's Ghostbusters) told io9 that they plan to "put out Chapter 1, [see] if people like it and see what they want, then we can add Chapter 2 and keep going."
The trailer below gives a look at the gameplay and story of the first chapter:

Ghostbusters: Now Hiring PSVR (PS4 Game Trailer)

Interestingly enough, Ivan Reitman, one of the co-creators of Ghostbusters and director of the 1984 film was very much involved in the game's creation. One of his biggest suggestions was the Ghostbusters Icon Ghost being the player's guide through the episode, who is actually voiced by Patton Oswalt.
Ghostbusters: Now Hiring - Firehouse is now available on the PlayStation Store in the US for $7. No information is available on the UK and Australian market as of yet.

[FONT=&quot]Lionhead Studios has officially been shut down for over a year now. The studio was best known for Fable and was allegedly closed down over Microsoft's unwillingness to sell the franchise. Whatever the reason for the studio's closure, there's hope for the franchise yet - as well as the folks who once worked on it.
Stuart Whyte, the former studio director at Lionhead, has found a new position with PlayStation. Next week, Whyte will be starting his new position at Sony's London Studio as the director of VR product development. Sony's London Studio is best known for experimental projects, such as SingStar, EyePet, Wonderbook and The Playroom and their VR efforts, like PlayStation VR Worlds.
"I'm super excited to be joining the London team to lead them further on their journey to becoming the world's leading AAA, VR Team," Whyte told GamesIndustry.biz.
Prior to his new position with Sony, Whyte held various positions at Lionhead, including operations director, head of production, and executive producer. He worked with Xbox as the chief publishing officer, as well as held a number of senior roles at other game studios.

Spider-Man: Homecoming VR Experience Drops June 30, Trailer Released


[YT]XMb8lXuIio0[/YT]

In two weeks, we'll get to feel what it's like to become Spider-Man, when Spider-Man: Homecoming VR drops on all major VR platforms. Sony Pictures' VR division has produced an intense VR experience leading up to the release of Spider-Man: Homecoming in theaters on July 7. Check out the announcement trailer above.
According to the press release, in this VR experience we'll learn the ins and outs of the fancy new Spider-Man suit provided by Tony Stark and Stark Industries. We'll have to master various types of web shots in order to complete fast-paced targeting trials. From the look of the trailer, and from the sound of the press release, this VR experience will be more focused on web-slinging than web-swinging. Taking prolonged drops, hurdling toward the city streets and swinging from building to building in VR sounds like it could definitely cost us our lunch, so this might be a little more appropriate.
The announcement also states that we'll be aiming to take down Vulture, so expect a flashy "boss fight" as well. I think you may actually get a quick glimpse of that final showdown toward the very end of the trailer.
“Spider-Man is the most beloved superhero in the world, so we knew Spider-Man: Homecoming VR had to be something special. Fans can wear the suit, fire the new web shooters – THWIP! – and swing through the air in a faceoff with The Vulture,” said Jake Zim, Senior Vice President, Virtual Reality at Sony Pictures in a statement. “It’s every fan’s fantasy turned into virtual reality.”
Spider-Man: Homecoming VR will be releasing on June 30 for pretty much every major VR platform, including PlayStation VR, HTC Vive, and Oculus Rift. If you don't own any of those headsets, don't worry. You'll get your chance to try it out at select Cinemark Theaters across the country.
Just don't forget to mind your surroundings. In your web-slinging frenzy you don't want to accidentally web-slug someone in the face.

[FONT=&quot]A Certain Magical Virtual-On launches winter 2018 in Japan[/FONT]
Published 23 mins ago. 0 comments.
Next update likely set for Tokyo Game Show 2017.
Toaru-Majutsu-no-Virtual-On_06-20-17.jpg




The latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation has an interview with A Certain Magical Virtual-On producer Jurou Wataru, who shared a few new details about the March-announced high-speed battle action game, including confirmation of a winter 2018 release window for Japan.




Here are the tidbits:

  • We’re trying to make the game as close to the game in the novel as possible.
  • While keeping the genes of Virtual-On, this is a reboot with the Virtual-On that appears in the novel.
  • Currently, we’ve passed the alpha version and are creating the basic parts of the game.
  • The number of Virtuaroids that appear in the game is still a secret. There will also be Virtuaroids outside of those that appeared in the novel.
  • For the rules, we’re thinking of a framework based on points, so we’re constructing a way of putting together regulations and actions to go along with them.
  • You gain points by stealing downs, and the outcome is determined by the number of points you have.
  • The game isn’t just online battles and co-op, there is a single-player story to enjoy as well.
  • Since each Index character has a special ability, the idea is to choose and combine them with compatible Virtuaroids.
  • There are plenty of games where you fight in 3D spaces. I want to propose a new way of playing. It will be important to incorporate the abilities of the Index characters.
  • Nowadays there aren’t as many players who find enjoyment in one-on-one battles as there were back in the day, so we need a design suited to modern society in addition to the one-on-one battle style.
  • I want the game content to allow even users who don’t play games much to have fun.
  • I may be able to say something regarding the game’s release window at the Tokyo Game Show. Right now, I can’t say anything more than “winter 2018.”
A Certain Magical Virtual-On will be available for PlayStation 4 and PS Vita.
Thanks, Games Talk and Hachima Kikou.

That looks so damn awful. Treating VR like quick and dirty marketing ploys is exactly how the tech should not be used. That being said, I'll give it a shot, because 1) I'm a sucker; and 2) it's free.
 
15 - 30 mins my ass. There is about ten mins worth of gameplay at most.

I can't lie though. I had some fun. The graphics aren't great and the aiming and reticule only showing up on certain objects isn't great, but I had fun just goofing off throwing objects off the roof into nearby traffic (which sadly doesn't react to anything), just to mess around with the game's physics. But that was about it. The game is an incredibly short training exercise with three different webbing material and a short zip up to the crane for Vulture to taunt you then the 'game' ends.

If you have PSVR download for the novelty then delete after one playthrough. This is essentially a glorified trailer. Though saying that just imagine how many times better an actual trailer in vr would have been. Though admittedly you would have to film something in vr in the firstplace.

[FONT=&quot]Chinese PlayStation VR titles Stifled, The Walker, Kill X, and Legion Commander coming west[/FONT]
Published 1 hour ago. 3 comments.
Announced at Sony's ChinaJoy 2017 press conference.
Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Asia showcased several new PlayStation VR titles during its ChinaJoy 2017 press conference today, four of which were confirmed for release in North America and Europe.
The four titles are:
Stifled (Gattai Games)
Taking on the role of a character who is battling the eerie consequences of a tragic event which has darkened his world.
But this is no ordinary horror game. The twist is that making noise is the only way you can see the environment around you. This immerses the player in the world and encourages tactical sound play using echolocation to reveal your surroundings. Thanks to the headset’s built-in mic, you can use your voice to help illuminate the way, as well as interact with items you find.
As you progress through the game, you’ll discover the importance of strategic gameplay as the sounds you make not only help you to navigate, they could also alert lurking enemies to your presence; it’s an audio awakening in which enemies hear your fear.

The Walker
(Haymaker, a China Hero Project game)

From Chinese developer Haymaker comes The Walker, a fantasy combat tale that plays out in virtual reality.
You are the distant descendant of an ancient family, whose mystical mix of swordsmanship and sorcery hasn’t diminished through the ages – which is just as well: the world needs saving from a demonic militia.
You’ll need to uncover and master spells and charms to defeat these invaders, and infuse weapons with special powers. Set in historic Shanghai, the unique sights and sounds will envelop you as you battle between sweeping boss showdowns.


Kill X (VIVA Games, a China Hero Project game)

Adding to China’s burgeoning reputation as a PlayStation VR hotbed comes Kill X, from VIVA Games. A claustrophobic thriller set on a secret island, you’ll uncover horrifying experiments on human subjects by an organization determined to realize immortality, no matter the cost.
As you veer between the past, present and future of these experiments and their after-effects, you’ll battle through swarms of the island’s unfortunate inhabitants. There are puzzles to be cracked and ever-more powerful weaponry to be found as you dig deeper into this heart-stopping mystery.


Legion Commander
(ChangYou Games)

In this real-time strategy game from ChangYou Games, you’ll select a commander and form an army, picking units with specialized attributes to steamroll the battlefield. You’ll also use special cards to cast spells on the battlefield, brought to life by PlayStation VR.

With three races — Orcs, Humans and Elves — pitched to fight against one another under the evil influence of an ancient demon you must find the right blend of skills to defeat enemy armies and restore harmony to the world.

[FONT=&quot]A Certain Magical Virtual-On introduces first characters and Virtuaroids, fourth weapon [Update][/FONT]
Published 2 hours ago. 7 comments.
A look at the upcoming crossover game.



The latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation has new details on A Certain Magical Virtual-On, Sega’s upcoming battle action game crossover for PlayStation 4 and PS Vita.


A Certain Magical Virtual-On sees the giant robots known as Virtuaroids from Sega’s Cyber Troopers Virtual-On action game series collide with the A Certain Magical Index Dengeki Bunko light novel series written by Kazuma Kamachi and themed after academy battles between users of unusual powers. It is also the first completely new Cyber Trooper Virtual-On title in 15 years.


Dengeki Online has a look at some of the characters and Virtuaroids that will appear in the game. Also, the existence of a fourth weapon that reflects the character’s powers was also confirmed.

Touma Kamijou and MBV707-G/VSL Temjin
Index and IDX-10/3000 Val Lurune (Index-only machine)
Accelerator and RVR-87/VSL Specineff “Rusty Blood” (Accelerator-only machine)
Mikoto Misaka and HBV-502-H8/VSL Raiden “Judge Igniters”
Dengeki Online also provides a look atthe game’s academy city stage. A Certain Magical Virtual-On will feature various battle stages where Virtual-On game tournaments will be held. The academy city stage seems to use the building rooftop.
Finally, Dengeki Online provides a look at the Virtuaroid’s newly equippable fourth weapon. By converting and amplifying the unique abilities of the character piloting the Virtuaroid, the Virtuaroid gains access to a new attack.







While previous Virtual-Ontitles only featured three weapons, this will act as a fourth weapon in A Certain Magical Virtual-On.
In the following screenshot, we see Temjin load Touma’s “Imagine Breaker” by starting the V-Converter on its back to activate it as a new weapon.
A Certain Magical Virtual-On is due out for PlayStation 4 and PS Vita during winter 2018 in Japan.


Update 8:00 a.m. Here are some more details on the Virtuaroids:

  • Touma Kamijou / Temujin – A standard, high versatility Virtuaroid with stable performance. The “Slipner” launcher equipped to its right arm supports both long and short range combat. It is widely used from beginners to advanced users.



  • Index / Val Lurune – A 545 series, multipurpose-type, integrated Virtuaroid. A practical use Virtuaroid originally developed inside the academy. It is equipped with an autonomous control launcher that can be detached within both arms and the defense husk of the lower body. In previous Virtual-On games, the “Bal” line were Virtuaroids for advanced users.



  • Accelerator / Specineff – A grudge curse assassination Virtuaroid. It amplifies curse in a disorderly manner.



  • Mikoto Misaka / Raiden – A heavy attack Virtuaroid equipped with high performance optical weapons. It is characterized by its heavy armor and heavy weapons. Its shoulder unit, called Stave 800Z, is equipped with high output lasers.

A-Certain-Magical-Virtual-On_08-24-17_Top.jpg




Sega has launched the official Japanese website for A Certain Magical Virtual-On, its competitive battle action game based on the A Certain Magical Index and Cyber Troopers Virtual-On crossover light novel, providing first information about its prologue and characters.


Get the details below.


? Prologue
—The space-time causality control mechanism, Tangram.
It is the cornerstone of hope brought about by the cyber calendar, or possibly the unexpected outcome.
It looks down upon the countless parallel worlds, and tunes even destiny.
It has its own will, flees to ends of the cyber dimension and on the drifting horizon, it finds hope in a certain world.
Academy City, Touma Kamijo.
The first encounter was dangerous. Kamijo Touma, who learned of calamity’s arrival from a mysterious girl named Ririn Furashina, saves the fusing world in the nick of time.
And thus, the Tangram resonated.
Furashina, who found her place in this world, makes every effort to prevent future disasters, but will that effort pay off?
People with fighting machines, and power with power.
Witness overlapping powers awaken.
? Characters
? Touma Kamijo (voiced by Atsushi Abe)
A-Certain-Magical-Virtual-On_08-24-17_001.jpg
A boy who lives in Academy City, his capability level is “Person with No Powers (Level 0).” He possesses a power within his right hand called “Imagine Breaker,” which can negate any power.
He seems to be happy with the stable performance of Temjin, and uses it as his preferred Virtuaroid. Temjin also responds to Kamijo’s passion, and in the light novel version of A Certain Magical Virtual-On, he rescued Academy City from a crisis caused by the actions of a humanoid machine.
In the video game, Kamijo enters with Temjin to participate in the Virtual-On Tournament to be held in Academy City.
Temjin 707
Virtuaroid: MBV-707-G/VSL “Temjin 707”
A-Certain-Magical-Virtual-On_08-24-17_002.jpg
A standard Virtuaroid with high versatility. Its appearance is characterized by its “Slipner,” a long launcher equipped to its right arm, and “Mind Boosters,” which are placed the left and right sides of its back as if to hold its V-Converter.
The Mind Booster detects the mental trigger emitted by the pilot during use of the Virtuaroid, and converts and rectifies it into various forms of output. When using MSBS55.55 as an OS within Academy City, this function is effective against those who do not have prominent powers, such as Espers and Magicians, as well as against Persons with No Powers, such as Kamijo, and contributes to an upward revision of the Virtuaroid’s battle capability.
? Index-Librorum-Prohibitorum (voiced by Yuka Iguchi)
A-Certain-Magical-Virtual-On_08-24-17_003.jpg
A girl with perfect memory of 103,000 magical texts known as grimoires, and is also known by the alias “Grimoire Library.” She is also a sister of the Anglican Church, but is currently dorming with Kamijo.
She has been a Virtual-On player for even longer than Kamijo, and in the light novel version of A Certain Magical Virtual-On, she gave him practical guidance on the tricks of the game.
Her unique ability has a significant effect on the performance of her dedicated Virtuaroid, BAL-RIooN, which will be significantly involved in the core of the game’s story.
BAL-RIooN
Virutaroid: IDX-10/3000 “BAL-RIooN”
A-Certain-Magical-Virtual-On_08-24-17_004.jpg
A 545 series, multipurpose-type, integrated Virtuaroid. It is a practical use Virtuaroid originally developed in Academy City that uses an OS classified as a G55, and is based on the prototype used for the functionality expansion development of MSBS ver.55.
The model of the Virtuaroid is said to be XBV-819 BAL-Bados, but its traces of said Virtuaroid are sparse.
It is equipped with four autonomous control launcher ERLs, which can be detached from the defense shells of both arms, as well as the lower body.
? Misaka Mikoto (voiced by Rina Satou)
A-Certain-Magical-Virtual-On_08-24-17_005.jpg
A young lady of a leading noble family, and who attends Tokiwadai Middle School. She is one of only seven people classified as “Person with Super Powers (Level 5),” and is an Electromaster with the nickname, “Railgun.”
With weapons such as its lasers and thunderballs, she seems to be a good match for Raiden and uses it often.
She forms a four-person team called “Judge Igniters” with Kuroko Shirai, Kazari Uiharu, and Ruiko Saten, and participates in the Virtual-On Tournament as a team wearing matching outfits and Virtuaroid coloring.
Raiden [“Judge Igniters”]
Virtuaroid: HBV-502-H8/VSL “Raiden Judge Igniters”
A-Certain-Magical-Virtual-On_08-24-17_006.jpg
A heavy attack Virtuaroid equipped with high performance optical weapons. Its heavy armor is called heavy combat Virtuaroid, and as a Virtuaroid with heavy weapons, it is particularly characterized by its shoulder unit.
This unit, called Stave 800Z, can transform into “Binary Lotus” and “Fragment Claw” forms. The former is equipped with a super high output laser, while the latter irradiates each of its claw strings. If a claw string hits a Virtuaroid, it has a special function that makes it no longer able to move.
Compared to other Virtuaroids, its V-Converter is of high efficiency, and can easily convert the tremendous power of Misaka Mikoto’s ability, “Railgun,” and control it to enhance its combat power.
? Accelerator (voiced by Nobuhiko Okamoto)
A-Certain-Magical-Virtual-On_08-24-17_007.jpg
He is the strongest Esper among the only seven people classified as “Person with Super Powers (Level 5)” in Academy City. He has the ability to freely manipulate vectors (direction of force), as well as the advanced arithmetic ability to implement that power.
While he will not actively participate in the Virtual-On Tournament to be held in Academy City, when he senses something suspicious going on behind the scenes, he moves on his own volition to uncover the truth.
For that, he pilots Specineff. Generally, he is willing to fight if the situation calls for it while ensuring he acts independently. In the light novel version of A Certain Magical Virtual-On, he played a role in uncovering the truth of the case by teaming up with Kamijo.
Specineff [“Rusty Blood”]
Virtuaroid: RVR-87/VSL “Specineff Rusty Blood”
A-Certain-Magical-Virtual-On_08-24-17_008.jpg
A grudge curse-type assassination Virtuaroid. The VC model appropriates malignant disk matter, the accumulated residual thoughts of the pilot gone mad due to an accident, and by turning things like the EVL Binder on its back into building materials, it is successful in boosting its grudge attack power, and exhibits high combat power.
When piloting Virtuaroids as Block 55 in Academy City, the grudges are optimized as much as possible to improve safety, but the one Accelerator pilots chaotically amplifies the grudges, and borrows the power of MSBS ver.55.55 and the Misaka Network to forcibly suppress it.
A Certain Magical Virtual-On is due out for PlayStation 4 and PS Vita during winter 2018 in Japan.

Plus, the introduction of a points system.




Dengeki Online has gone up with a new preview of A Certain Magical Virtual-On confirming two more characters in Kuroko Shirai and Misaki Shokuhou, and detailing the game’s systems, including its new “Transition” action” and control styles.
Get the details below.
? Characters
Kuroko Shirai and RVR-14/VSL Fei-Yen kn




Misaki Shokuhou and SGV-417-l/VSL Angelan


? System
Points System


In addition to the “when your HP is reduced to zero, you’re KO’d” system in previous Virtual-On titles, A Certain Magical Virtual-On also introduces a new points system. If a KO did not occur within the time limit, the winner and loser were previously decided by each player’s remaining amount of HP, but in the same situation this time, the winner and loser are decided through points, which accumulate when you down your opponent. Because of this, even if you have more HP than your opponent, you will still lose if battle timer ends and they have more points.
Also, a violation will occur if the user with more points begins to play passively, such as running around without hitting their opponent. After a warning, penalties such as point deductions will be imposed.
“Transition” Action
Various speedy actions such as dashes, jumps, and a variety of attacks are one of the appeals of the Virtual-On series. This time, a new “Transition” action has also been added.
By pressing the Circle button during a dash, you’ll switch to a driving form that looks as if the Virtuaroid is kneeling. During a Transition, you can jump, dash in different directions, and switch to an attack without interruption while always keeping the enemy on-screen.




“Smart” and “Veteran” Control Styles


A Certain Magical Virtual-On offers two control styles.
The “Smart” control style is designed for beginners and players returning after a long absence. It is built with an automatic lock-on at its core, allowing you to fight while always keeping the enemy on-screen.
The “Veteran” control style is built with a manual lock-on at its core, allowing you to play freely with the tactics unique to traditional Virtual-On titles, such as rushing forward and manually aiming without keeping the enemy on-screen.




4th Weapon: “Boost Weapon”


In addition to the three weapons of previous Virtual-On games—the Right Weapon, Left Weapon, and Center Weapon—there is a new fourth weapon called the Boost Weapon. This is fired from the Virtuaroid by amplifying the unique ability of each pilot.
A Certain Magical Virtual-On is due out for PlayStation 4 and PS Vita during winter 2018 in Japan.

[FONT=&quot]Updated PlayStation VR model announced, launches October 14 in Japan[/FONT]
Published 1 hour ago. 10 comments.

Western release timing yet to be announced.






Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Asia will release a new version of PlayStation VR, model number CUH-ZVR2, in Japan on October 14, the company announced. A western is also being prepared, but launch timing has yet to be announced.


In Japan, the new version of PlayStation VR will be released in a “PlayStation VR with PlayStation Camera Bundle” for 44,980 yen.
The new version of PlayStation VR features revised mechanisms to increase user comfort, including:

  • A stereo headphone port has been added to the back of the VR headset. The cable wiring of the stereo headphones included with the unit can be integrated with the VR headset.
  • The cable that connects the Processor Unit of the VR headset has been consolidated into a single, slimmer cable.
  • The Processor Unit now supports HDR pass through.
Here’s a brief FAQ regarding the new version, via the PlayStation Blog:
Is there a new PlayStation VR model? How is it different?
A hardware update to PlayStation VR is being prepared. The new version, model number CUH-ZVR2, features an updated design that enables the stereo headphone cables to be integrated with the VR headset and a slimmer, streamlined connection cable. There’s also an updated 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 in between the TV and the PS4 system. This function can be used only when the VR headset is turned off.
When will the new PS VR model become available in North America? How much will it be?
We will share details on the launch timing in North America at a later date. The pricing of the PS VR bundles will remain the same.
How can I distinguish between the old PS VR headset and the new one when I’m purchasing?
The packaging for PlayStation VR will change slightly when the new model hits stores. To differentiate, look for the model number printed on the box. The previous PS VR’s model number is CUH-ZVR1, and the new PS VR’s model number is CUH-ZVR2. Also, the product image on the packaging will be updated to show changes on the new model, like the integrated headphones on the VR headset.
If I already own a PS VR, can I swap out my old Processor Unit with the updated one?
Because the cables of CUH-ZVR1 and CUH-ZVR2 are different, you cannot swap the Processor Units.
Are the PS VR games I already own compatible with the new model?
Yes, all PS VR games are compatible with both PS VR models.
Upcoming PlayStation VR titles include Monster of the Deep: Final Fantasy XV (Square Enix), Summer Lesson: Chisato Shinjo (Bandai Namco), The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR (Bethesda Softworks), Gran Turismo Sport (SIE), No Heroes Allowed! VR (SIE), Bravo Team (SIE), and more, as well as video services and content such as NewsVR and Japan Studio VR Music Festival.
