How can PSVR improve in 2020 and beyond?

PlayStation VR was introduced to the world just over three years ago, and it brought the tech to the masses. Oculus Rift got the ball rolling on PC, of course, but it was with Sony’s cheaper, more accessible headset that virtual reality became something attainable for everyone. It’s for these reasons that PSVR now leads the market despite new competitors and advancing technology. The blue-glowing headgear ends the decade on a high note, then — but where should it go from here?

One of the most important aspects of any virtual reality device is the software, and this is an area in which PSVR could have the upper hand. There are exclusive games on Sony’s headgear and likewise with its PC competitors, but PlayStation’s ace in the hole is Worldwide Studios. Some of the best virtual reality games have come from first-party teams. Astro Bot Rescue Mission is one of VR’s defining games regardless of platform, and Blood & Truth is a fantastic example of a high-budget action experience not possible on a flat display.

Hell yes.

Devil May Cry 5 is Capcom back to its best. After a rocky start to the generation, the legendary developer has upped its game dramatically over the last couple of years, and the return of Dante is a standout moment, once again proving that no one understands action quite like Capcom.

In short, Devil May Cry 5 is easily one of the best action titles on the PlayStation 4. Its strength lies in its ability to convey intense, brutal, and satisfying combat in the most stylish way imaginable, resulting in something that’s both amazing to play and incredible to watch. The game’s a feast for the senses; an immensely polished thrill-ride that doesn’t let up until after the credits roll.

Time to triangle.

We get fed the same spiel every generation, but newly minted PlayStation indies evangelist Shuhei Yoshida has purportedly been waxing lyrical about Sony’s next-gen system in an interview with Japanese magazine Dengeki PlayStation. According to DualShockers, the former Worldwide Studios chief reiterated how complicated the PlayStation 3 was to develop for, and how steps were taken to rectify this with the PlayStation 4.

The upcoming PlayStation 5, however, takes things to the next level. Allegedly studios working on the device are claiming that it’s the “easiest” console they’ve ever developed for. This, of course, doesn’t mean that teams are going to be pumping out AAA titles every six months; games are still outrageously difficult to develop, but it sounds like the Japanese giant has avoided hardware hurdles with its latest system. And that’s good news for players and creators alike.

Push where?

Sony has filed a patent for an updated DualShock controller, which will potentially be the design that ships with the PlayStation 5 next year. Interestingly, the documentation reveals four additional buttons on the rear of the unit – particularly pertinent considering the organisation has just revealed a Back Button Attachment for the PlayStation 4’s existing handset.

The details of the patent explain slightly different uses for two of the newly added triggers, however. According to the documentation, the larger keys will be employed to extend the length of the revised DualShock’s hand grips, meaning that it’ll fit different hand sizes more comfortably. The other buttons are, as you’d expected, designed to be used in gameplay.
