RIGS: Mechanized Combat League is the closest thing resembling an actual game for PlayStation VR right now, and it's looking pretty neat – even if it's clearly still quite early. The Guerrilla Cambridge developed shooter-cross-soccer futuristic sports game sees you assuming the seat inside a supercharged mech, which you'll need to pilot in order to destroy your opponents and leap through a hoop in the middle of the stage.
It's a really simple concept, but it's one that we actually find rather appealing in a Rocket League kind of regard – defensive play will see you attempting to shoot out enemies before they can reach the ring and score a point for their team. In the video, the ever gregarious Greg Miller tries his hand at a spot of shoutcasting, which is a bit irritating but all done in jest. The game, though – we'll be a keeping an eye on this one for sure.

Apparently each match of this begins with you being launched into the arena, so there's a good few seconds of vertigo as you fall through the air into the stadium.
Looks like a fun way to kill time, if I get the psvr this will be top of my list
@MadAussieBloke agreed, Sony should package a few games with VR so it can attract people to the system.
Is it playable without VR like can you play it with people that are using VR even if you are using a normal screen? If it is I might get it just for the amusment of killing people playing it that are using VR
Looks pretty neat. I wish those annoying idiots were in the video less, and straight gameplay was in more. One concern I do have if it's VR only though, is if the player base will be big enough to support an online game.
@xMEADx Nope, VR only.
@get2sammyb Ahh ok, look's like fun but I don't know if it's a system seller which is effectively what this and other early game's need to be.
Be interested to know which of the VR games are using the 60 to 120 interpolation, the games are looking better than I would have thought, I struggle to run the simplest games on oculus on my pc(not the greatest pc in the world), VR is a hog
No Mans Sky WILL be the system seller, Sony knows this. Full on space flight and planet to space travel. Sold.
@iDangerMouse_ i'm with you on that, the idea is sweet but this and other game's look "fun" at best, i've not seen anything that make's me think WOW I really need to get me a PSVR!! I think they should of waited a few year's personally.
Well I'm getting it and I am not a youtuber.
No Mans Sky VR.
one of the few great idea of VR!
Makes me excited for future game which we pilot giant robots, Pacific Rim style...
