PSVR Kicker

Sony’s pre-Tokyo Game Show PlayStation press conference is happening right now, and the company has announced a bunch of new Japanese software for PlayStation VR. A Zone of the Enders title called Anubis Mars is probably the biggest news for longtime PlayStation fans; the original ZOE was a mech-fighting game developed by Konami for the PS2 and famously bundled with a demo for Metal Gear Solid 2

Far more importantly, however, is the announcement of Neko Atsume VR. Literally nothing other than the logo was shown off, but it’s hard to imagine virtual reality cat-collecting being anything less than wonderful.

Meanwhile, Japanese newspaper The Asahi Shimbun is producing a news app for PSVR that will provide 360-degree video content, much like organizations such as The New York Times have done for mobile VR headsets. 

It remains incredibly difficult to buy PSVR in Japan nearly a year after it was released, but Sony does seem to be persevering with the flow of content aimed at its home market. A price cut for the headset and PlayStation Camera bundle was also announced today; it’ll cost 44,980 yen from October 14th, the previous price of the standalone headset.
