If there's one major criticism that could be pointed at PlayStation VR, it's that we haven't actually seen any proper games yet. There have been promising tech demos galore, no doubt – but if people are going to spend exorbitant amounts of cash on it, then they're going to want to see some fuller experiences.
One such title could be VRPG, which was trademarked by Sony in Japan on 17th December. No other details are known, but with a name like that, it's perhaps safe to assume that it will end up being a virtual reality role-playing game of some kind. And that could be cool: character interaction is at the heart of every good RPG, and it's going to be even more powerful with PlayStation VR.
Of course, we could be jumping to conclusions here – perhaps the acronym stands for Vib Ribbon Parental Guidance instead, we don't know. Either way, it's always exciting when the platform holder tackles new projects, so we're eagerly awaiting more information on this when the organisation's ready to share it.

VR game like SAO, yes please!
i would love a VRPG like SAO, as long as it has a log out function ^_^
Still wondering how morpheus ties into tekken and FFXIV
So this will Be PSVR's SORCERY. Cool. " Boys and Girls lets go to the Digital World"!
In the anime, Sword Art Online started around 2022. So there`s a chance that VR will be something like that in that year.
But for now, let`s enjoy our games on the flat screens.
@Drainos The only downside is that nerve gear will never be real, but hopefully we can make something close to it.
@FullbringIchigo
Yes, very important. Do not forget the log out function...
"Kids! This is how you lost your father..."
I love SAO. Still don't want a VR helmet though.
Unless VR can step it up to be a full-dive system like Sword Art was, (minus the whole dying bit) then it just won't be that great. It will never be immersive if all you can do is just see the world. You need to use all of your senses.
@Jayvir well I cant smell so does that mean I'm not immersive to the real world?
@SKC_Diamond Thats not even close to comparable and you know it
I would prefer a VR mmo like .hack
I remember playing the G.U Series on ps2 and thinking wow this is how it should be if VR was ever real. Because of how complete it was on and off the game.
Well I guess if we are going to assume this is going to be the title of a game than we can also assume NMS will be psvr compatible, making it the largest game on the peripheral.
I'm with everyone else, would love to play a SAO or .hack like game, though I'd rather wait for a true surreal experience.
@NomNom At last someone mentions .hack. I was scrolling down and seeing people mention the copycat SAO and shaking my head like a disappointed father.
@Matroska Yeah, I felt sad most people haven't heard of .hack, hopefully Sony puts the G.U series on PSN. People who like SAO would love this.
