The studio crushed rumors of a Burnout Paradise remaster months ago, stating that it was working on 'better things' - and now, fans can judge whether this was a correct statement. The PlayStation VR itself is scheduled to release on October 13, which gives Criterion Games ample time to polish off the title. The 40 second trailer didn't feature any release date, but we wouldn't shy away from guessing that X Wing VR Mission is likely one of the 50 promised VR titles that are poised to release for the PlayStation VR before 2016. Gamers can take a look at the short Star Wars trailer below: As the spaceships whooshed around, the classic Star Wars sounds came into play, which should leave fans with a good sense of nostalgia. The admittingly short trailer shows off some hype-building X-Wing dogfights, and the fact that the trailer was accompanied by a live orchestra didn't hurt things, either. Sony made the exciting announcement earlier today during Sony's E3 Press Conference, showing off their new parnership in the form of an announcement trailer for Star Wars Battlefront: X-Wing VR Mission, a VR title which is exactly what is sounds like. Sony has officially revealed that it has partnered with Criterion Games to bring a VR experience to the Star Wars universe. Battlefront 2 is releasing on November 17 on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, and we’re still excited to play it even if it won’t be inside a headset.During Sony's E3 Press Conference, the company reveals Star Wars Battlefront: X Wing VR Mission, a Criterion Games title that puts players in the pilot seat.
Don’t forget Sony also stuck a PSVR banner on the game’s icon on the PlayStation Store, though this was apparently an accident. Still, earlier in the year Webster did say that VR support for the game was “ a story for another day” so there’s still a thin thread of hope that some sort of integration will find its way into the game eventually. It would seem like a natural fit to have a multiplayer dogfighting mode for PSVR owners at the very least.
It’s a shame, as Criterion developed the excellent X-Wing VR mission for the original Battlefront, which arrived on PlayStation VR late last year, and is now developing the space combat for the sequel. Stanley followed up by saying that VR was “very important” to Criterion, and Webster reaffirmed comments from CEO of publisher EA that VR will play a big part in gaming going forward, but they didn’t offer much hope for a surprise VR reveal before launch. When asked if there would be any VR options in the game, Webster simply replied: “There is no VR.” Sadly, it’s now looking like there won’t be any integration after all.Ĭriterion’s Matt Webster and John Stanley confirmed as much in a recent interview with Metro. A few months ago it looked like VR support had been all but confirmed for DICE and Criterion Games’ Star Wars: Battlefront 2.
