‘Ghostbusters VR’ Coming to PSVR2, ‘Ghostbusters VR Academy’ Announced
With a new animated series on the way, and two feature films in tow, nDreams’ upcoming Ghostbusters VR also had an update yesterday. Not only is the game heading to Meta Quest 2, but also the PlayStation VR2!
Announced via the official Ghostbusters Twitter account, the four-player co-op adventure will head to Sony’s still-in-development platform. Though like the release date for the previously-announced Meta Quest 2, no release date has been announced for the PSVR2 version.
Ghostbusters VR is to be published by Sony Pictures Virtual Reality and developed by nDreams, the latter whom has worked on previous Ghostbusters titles, as well as Zombieland VR: Headshot Fever. In Ghostbusters VR, you’ll be running a new Ghostbusters HQ in a new city, San Francisco. Go at it alone, or as a team with up to three friends in co-op in an extensive and engrossing campaign.
If that’s not enough busting for you, per Gamespot, Sony is planning on a new location-based virtual reality game called Ghostbusters VR Academy. Developed by Hologate, the new VR game will let players take part in Ghostbuster training and pilot a flying version of the Ecto-1 in a high-speed race to see who’s the fastest. Of course, you’ll also be strapping on your proton pack in teams of four, and take on missions where you’re tasked with catching a ghosts. Ghostbusters VR Academy will be playable at 400 Hologate locations globally by the end of 2022.
Released way back in 2021 onto Steam, Milkbar Lads’ gory, fast-paced, roguelike shooter Dead Estate has finally arrived on the PlayStation 5 and the Nintendo Switch, with Switch 2 compatibility. The console releases contain all of the previously-released expansions, including the entirely separate campaign inspired by classic survival horror games, “Assignment Anya”.
There isn’t much to the story of Dead Estate, which is probably for the best. All you need to know is that you’re stuck in a monster-filled mansion, from which you’ve obviously got to escape. Your only way out is to ascend the floors of the mansion with one of 10 unique characters, collect loads of items and weapons, and tackle the grueling challenges within. Along the way, you will discover secrets and the many unlockables.
And yes, there are loads of weapons and items for the game’s close-quarters combat. 150 weapons and 300 items, to be exact, making each run unique. Adding to that uniqueness are the many alternate floors and floor variants of the mansion. There are also modifiers and difficulty levels available to further maximize replayability.
And as mentioned, Dead Estate also includes a nod to Resident Evil 4 with Assignment Anya, an obvious play on Assignment: Ada. With this expansion, which is set prior to the events of the main game, you play as Anya, a fledgling actress who finds herself helplessly lost in the mansion after her film crew is attacked by the undead. Abandoned by her leading man and left alone with nothing but a mask with which to disguise herself, Anya must escape the increasingly warped and deadly estate all on her own.
