I played Switchback VR – here's why horror is the ideal genre for PSVR 2.

There's a moment in my playthrough of PSVR 2 horror game The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR where everything you think you know about VR games is pushed out of the nearest window and the game begins to actually change depending on where you look and if you blink. Yes, justin this game can affect the world and, well… it points to a whole new way to experience games.and it's not even out yet . It's already my personal favourite games on Sony's new headset.

The eye-tracking technology in PSVR 2 is so advanced Alejandro Arque Galladro says the game will even monitor and react to things in your peripheral vision. He explains how"we can [monitor] the movement of enemies in the corner of your eye [and] not only the enemies, but the environment too". Switchback VR uses eye-tracking in more subtle ways than you'd think, too.

Playing Switchback VR, I encounter many moments that another player may not discover, simply by where I look and if I blink This can include simple changes in paths – shooting a signal takes my cart down left or right tracks, into speedy rollercoaster sections where I need to physically duck to dodge hazards or even into puzzle rooms that can only be solved exploring the environment with the beam from a UV light.

I'm too big of a wuss for horror games, but they're so goddamn incredible I can't stay awayHorror games are so damn innovative and unique, which makes it all the more frustrating that I can barely get through an hour of them. To be fair, Fatal Frame (the first one at least) is genuinely pant-shittingly scary. The only game to spook me in my adult life aside from PT. That's alright, hop on over to my channel and you can view the first three chapters with my soothing southern accent.
