VIDEO GAMES: Watch The Amazing First Trailer For STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT: X-WING VR MISSION
Another PlayStation 4 exclusive, this year will see the release of Star Wars Battlefront: X-Wing VR Mission, a sure to be unique experience which allows players to pilot an X-Wing into battle...
It was revealed at E3 yesterday evening that Criterion Games and DICE are working on Star Wars Battlefront: X-Wing VR Mission, yet another title coming exclusively to PlayStation VR later this year (it's a bad time to own an Xbox). Criterion are responsible for titles like Burnout and Need for Speed, and they actually worked on the fair too brief speeder bike missions in Star Wars Battlefront.
You can check out the trailer at the bottom of this post, but here are more details on what to expect.
Piloting an X-Wing is an aspect of the Star Wars universe many of us have dreamed of experiencing. It’s something from the films we remember watching with awe, and even reenacted throughout our lives. Virtual reality brings us one step closer to realizing this amazing dream of piloting an X-wing in space. With this incredible new platform, you will be instantaneously transported from the comforts of your living room to an X-Wing cockpit in space. And with the artists at Criterion and DICE meticulously crafting every authentic detail, the experience feels more real than you can imagine. Once you look outside your ship, you’ll start to take in and appreciate the sheer magnitude of the environment in which you’re sitting. Sure, you may think you know that a Blockade Runner or a Star Destroyer are big, but once you’re firing at Imperial forces alongside their hulls as you maneuver around their defenses, then you’ll truly comprehend the enormity of these starships. It’s intensely exciting!
Like most of the upcoming VR games, this is going to be relatively brief, but the best thing about this is the fact that Star Wars Battlefront: X-Wing VR Mission will be free for all owners of Star Wars Battlefront on PS4. This could very well open the door to more VR adventures set in a Galaxy Far, Far Away, so it will be interesting to see how it plays out when their headset goes on sale later this year.
