Sony PlayStation Experience Mammoth Live Cast Is Underway
Each game costs $14.99. While House said he was “hesitant to predict” that the PS4 would top the 155 million PS2 sales record – due to the increased innovation cycle people demand these days – Sony will add to the PS4’s appeal in 2016 with the launch of its virtual reality gaming headset known as PlayStation VR. After Oculus Rift creator, Palmer Luckey, made an announcement regarding his HMD at the Game Awards 2015 – things began to heat up faster.
Mr House declared that he “started out as somewhat sceptical” of VR but was won over by The London Heist, a gangster game developed by one of Sony’s studios.
The PlayStation VR headset previously known as Project Morpheus, that was officially revealed earlier this year during GDC’15 was equipped with an OLED display offering a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels providing 960 x 1080 pixels per eye, together with a RGB subpixel matrix, and is capable of displaying content at 120fps.

Furthermore, many GTA fans now have more reasons to spend time with their PS4 as all three Grand Theft Auto games are available. Last of Us 2?
GTA: San Andreas ($14.99) – It is the best selling video game of 2004 and remains the best selling PlayStation 2 game of all time. The frame-rate has slightly improved in these PS4 versions over the originals.
Finally, we’re back on track with a game we can get excited about, albeit without much to actually look at yet. However, if it turns out to be successful and sells well, then Sony could run away from the other gaming companies.
Admittedly, the approach being used by Microsoft MSFT +1.82% is still limiting the number of 360 games available to play on the Xbox One but you don’t have to pay for them again.
In EVE Valkyrie, players are given the freedom to look in any direction, even providing the option to lock missiles onto enemies with your view.
Meaning, Sony’s backward compatibility feature is not literally for free.
An oddity for a series known for its action-packed set-pieces, PlayStation Experience showed off protagonist Nathan Drake doing paperwork before being interrupted by the arrival of his brother Sam who was assumed dead.
