Given, that virtual reality had been present for quite a while before now, but it had never quite been capable of attracting as many eyeballs as it does now. This immersive way of multi-media interaction found its way into gaming a handful of years back but only now has it truly shown itself. This first came to the front with Oculus Rift, an upcoming virtual reality headset. Now competition is hard to kill in this day and age.

And so, we already have a number of competitors not far behind. Valve was quick to say that they will be coming with a headset of their own and now Sony has taken up the call by announcing that they will introduce their virtual reality headset. With a console as good as the PS4, there ought to be some sweet games that should take advantage of the virtual reality headset. Here’s a bunch of PlayStation games that should make it to the list of virtual reality compatibility for Sony’s upcoming headset.

Note: This list consists of multiplatform games and is not only limited to exclusive titles.

15. FIFA 14

Fifa is one annual series that everyone look forward to. EA manages to outdo themselves year after year with every subsequent titles and it is heartening to watch them bring more realism and dynamism to the game. What better way to make it a virtual reality compatible game. Sony could really step things up for the franchise with its already huge fanbase on the existing consoles. What really makes the prospect worth looking into is the Be A Pro mode.

This feature has proven its mettle over the years and could prove to be one of the best ways to experience a match if FIFA titles become virtual reality headset compatible. With the camera following around your player in the field with the roaring crowd, every goal you score would be breathtaking moment. I see a lot of potential in this but EA Sports will need to work hard to make bring greater realism to the game if they wish to make the truly immersive.

With the Game Developers Conference coming up shortly, rumours have been flying about the mill in large numbers. One of these rumours claims that Sony will be unveiling am Oculus Rift-like virtual reality headset device for the PS4 during its press conference.

SCE Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida, SCEA R&D senior director Richard Marks (best known for coming up with the EyeToy and the PS Move) and SCEA R&D senior software engineer Anton Mikhailov will all be present when Sony presents its conference “Driving the Future of Innovation at Sony Computer Entertainment.”

According to CVG, Sony has been working on this virtual reality headset for a while now, and was about to reveal the new piece of hardware back in August of 2013, but delayed the reveal until its September’s TGS conference. It was then later delayed again to allow Sony to work on the new tech some more.

We’ll keep you updated, watch this space for more.

Oculus Rift may be occupying the virtual reality consumer market on PC and mobiles, but for consoles, Sony has been rumoured to be working on its own PlayStation specific solution. Designed to compete with Rift, a new source has stated to TechRadar that the headset will be revealed at next month’s GDC taking place in San Francisco.

The so-called inside source has said that they’ve been able to try the device behind closed doors and that, “The quality and resolution are really, really good. People will definitely be impressed with what Sony’s built”.

Sony has long been rumoured to be working on a solution for VR ever since patents for the same emerged. As of now, we can’t say for sure if GDC is the place to reveal it – why not dedicate that time to more important services like PlayStation Now, for instance? – but it’ll be interesting if it does appear.

GDC 2014 starts on March 17th. Stay tuned for more news and updates till then.

As if it didn’t have enough capital already, Oculus VR announced a deal with investment firm Andreessen Horowitz for an additional $75 million in funding for Oculus Rift. This in exchange for several things, including a board seat fir, co-founder Mark Andreessen.

Oculus Rift CEO Brendan Iribe was upbeat about the deal, stating that, “This additional infusion of capital, as well as the leadership and experience of Marc Andreessen, will help us take the final steps toward our ultimate goal: making virtual reality something consumers everywhere can enjoy.”

Andreessen also stated that, “We believe Oculus will not only alter the gaming landscape, but will redefine fundamental human experiences in areas like film, education, architecture and design. We’re incredibly excited to help them change the world.

Oculus has revealed that it will be using this additional funding in order to complete consumer models of Oculus VR for Android, Linux, Mac and PC with more details to arrive tomorrow.
