Coming Soon: Marvel’s Iron Man VR On Playstation
So, the middle boy just turned eight; he really, really wanted Playstation VR for his birthday. And, of course, dad put up a good fight but lost.
And, currently, the helmet is being used for something called Job Simulator. JOB SIMULATOR.
Anyway, today, as I did my rounds I saw something that really, really made me happy I dropped the cash on the Playstation peripheral (?).
Iron Man VR Coming Soon to Playstation VR
Variety had the original announcement last month:
Originally, “Iron Man VR” … was due out last year, before getting pushed to Feb. 28 of this year. It was then rescheduled for May 15 before Sony Interactive Entertainment said it was postponing the release indefinitely, citing the COVID-19 pandemic. “Given the current situation in the world, logistically, we cannot provide the launch experience our customers deserve,” SIE said last month.
Now Sony and game studio Camouflaj say they’re going to have “Iron Man VR” ready to fly in July.
In the game, you play as genius inventor Tony Stark, who is attacked by the mysterious Ghost, a hacker and anti-corporate activist who repurposes old Stark Industries weapons to inflict mayhem. Players jet around the world on a mission to save not only Stark’s company but the world itself, encountering multiple villains along the way.
