Jazz RosinIt looks like all publishers are jumping in the virtual reality banwagon. Almost all of the big names have announced VR titles at this year's Electronics Entertainment Expo. Take a look at everything VR-related offerings at E3.
Bethesda has recently dived into the virtual reality arena with the surprise announcement of Bethesda VR at this year's press conference.
"We want to give you a glimpse into where we're headed with VR, where you can expect us to remain a leader," Bethesda's Marketing VP Pete Hines said.
The game publisher said that two of its popular game titles will have playable VR versions. The first one will be post-apocalyptic game "Fallout 4", and will be released on HTC Vive next year.
Bethesda also announced "Doom VR", which will take the players on a "virtual tour of Hell".
"This is just the beginning of Bethesda's future in virtual reality," Bethesda declared on its website.
Microsoft has just announced its new console, "Project Scorpio", and revealed that the system will be VR-ready, opening lots of possibilities for Microsoft to launch VR titles in the future. However, the company did not talk about any upcoming VR games during the conference.
The company still has time to announce new VR titles in time for the "Project Scorpio" launch on Holiday 2017.
Ubisoft is not far behind, and has announced a few VR titles during its media presentation.
Ubisoft has revealed its multiplayer eagle simulator :Eagleflight". The game publisher showcased a gameplay demo with no other than the founder of Oculus Rift himself, Palmer Luckey, who is a self-declared "Eagleflight" fan.
The game publisher has also announced "Star Trek: Bridge Crew", a multiplayer VR game which takes you in the middle of the action at the bridge of the Enterprise. The game is scheduled to be released on Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Playstation VR this fall.
However, the winner of the VR game for this year's E3 would have to be game company giant Sony, who has announced the launch of Playstation VR during its presentation.
Sony declared that the Playstation VR will have a huge library of games when it comes out in October 13, counting 50 VR titles.
Sony has also announced a few VR titles during its media presentation. "Batman Arkham VR", "Farpoint", "Here They Lie" and "Star Wars: Battlefront" X-Wing Mission will all be enjoyed via Playstation VR.
"Resident Evil 7" has also echoed other horror games and will be fully playable on VR from start to finish.
Finally, "Final Fantasy XV" will have the option to play as one of Noctis' companions, gun-toting Prompto, via VR.
