Yeah Spiderman looks like it could be pretty damn sweet. I also liked the environmental kills, like swiping the guys with the I beam using the webbing.
If they successfully combine Arkham combat with SpiderMan 2: The Movie:The Game's open world mechanics then they can literally print money with this.

PSN and Amazon have Skyrim VR available for preorder for the PSVR. That will be interesting to play.

Fallout 4 VR and Doom VFR should be available on PSVR soon as well. These games are also going to work on PC through the Vive. Unfortunately it doesn't look like my Oculus Rift headset will be supported even though basically everything else on Steam VR works with it. This is pretty obviously because of the ongoing lawsuits between Zenimax (owners of Bethesda) and Oculus.
I would have liked to check out the VR versions of both Fallout and Doom. I probably wouldn't have purchased them when push came to shove anyways. Bethesda is asking $60 for Fallout 4 VR on Steam even if you already own Fallout 4 on Steam. Doom VFR is going for $30.
I'm sure a lot of work went into porting these games to VR but I already spent quite a bit of money on Fallout 4 between pre-ordering the game and spending another $30 on the season pass. Spending another $60 for the same game in VR isn't going to happen. Luckily when smaller games add in VR support down the line they usually do it as a free patch to the standard game instead of selling it again as a second product.
I saw the Doom VFR, but I'm not into FPS as much as RPG's.
Plus they've said that Doom VFR won't have movement, but will be teleportation, and every game I've tried that in was crap.
Now if they'd give Doom VFR the AIM Controller functionality and movement that Farpoint has, that would be great.

Are these VR games still more like tech demos rather than full-fledged campaigns? I've been afraid that VR is just Move 2.0 in that the games are fun to play around with for a bit, but once the novelty wears off, sales will drop, and developers will stop making games. Except with VR, cost of entry is 5 times greater than it was for the Move. Also, does the PS4 VR work on the first-gen PS4 model?
I have the PS4 camera and two Move controllers, so maybe when the price on the head set comes down some more...

Resident Evil VII and Farpoint played as full campaigns.
It looks like Skyrim VR be a full game will as well.
Not sure Doom will, as it seems more a VR demo.
I haven't seen anything yet announcing Fallout 4 for the PSVR.
Every time I browse a big sale in the PSN Store, I come across yet another PS4 game I had "purchased" as a PS Plus member and now seem to be able to download free permanently. For some reason, certain games show up as "Free" where the price would normally be. Of course, this isn't for every PS Plus game I ever "purchased" as a longtime member (June 2012-Feb. 2017). And sometimes when I click to add a "Free" game to my cart, I get an error message saying I'm not permitted to purchase/download this content. One commonality is that most of the games I can now snag were available on multiple platforms. In each case, I'm absolutely certain I hadn't in fact purchased it previously (with actual money) for a different system.
So far, I've managed to wrangle the PS4 versions of the following:
Resogun
Doki-Doki Universe
Grim Fandango
OddWorld New & Tasty
Sportsfriends
Escape Plan
Not a terribly exciting list, I know (they were free Plus games on PS4, afterall). But of those, I've only played Doki-Doki Universe and Escape Plan on the Vita. So if you are a former Plus member, you may wish to check some of these out.

I sometimes go out of my way to get achievements/trophies in games I'm actually enjoying. It's just a way to give me something else to do in a game and extend my enjoyment of it. This is just dumb though. I wouldn't play a game I'm not interested in just for trophies even if it was free and I definitely wouldn't buy a game for that purpose.
Yeah achievement/trophy hunting is one thing, but this is just a complete joke. I admit that one time I bought a game partially due to the ease of getting all the achievements, but at least that was an actual GAME. It was a collection of classic Sega Genesis games. Also, as the video shows, this game is MARKETING itself as an easy way to get a platinum trophy!
Sadly this appears to be a more common thing. Look at this disgusting display for Steam Achievements:
Until Dawn is FANTASTIC. I'm so glad this is now free. I figured it would be eventually. I'm tempted to play again but for the sole purpose of killing all the kids.
My review.
It makes even less sense on Steam games. There are programs/mods you can use to just unlock all the achievements in games if you want to. I'm not sure what the point of that is but people do it.
Edit: I thought that voice at the beginning was Jim trying to do some dumb accent bit until he actually started talking.
Same with me, and for the exact same reason. Gives me more incentive to keep playing a game I might have already beaten.
Ditto. Which goes to my point of why even bother paying for a trophy. I can understand it sucks that you can't get it, as it's too hard (time consuming). But beyond personal satisfaction, earning it gets you nothing. And paying for it removes the personal satisfaction.
That I can see, cause running a mod costs you nothing.
I just can't see people paying money to do it though.
I was fairly active in the PS trophy hunting community for a while, and it never ceased to amaze me what people would do to pad their trophy totals. PlaystationTrophies.org would sponsor trophy hunting leagues in which teams of trophy hunters competed to "earn" the most trophies in the shortest amount of time. Beyond the possibility of winning a cash prize, it was really about bragging rights, world and country ranking, and OCD completionism. I fell into the latter category - though I wasn't obsessive or remotely skilled enough to have a very high completion rate - usually in the 75-80% range. I drew the line at playing a terrible game, even one that was free or cost only a dollar, to get easy trophies, though that's not to say I didn't push myself past the point of enjoyment with games I had already started, or pick one game over another because I knew the trophies were easier.
Speaking of which, given how easy the platinum is in Until Dawn, I may have to check it out. Just please don't tell my therapist (I'm still in recovery
).
Digital Foundry has released an analysis video on the upcoming Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy, comparing the original to the new version on PS4 and PS4 Pro.
Speaking of, reviews are coming out now and they seem to point to a well done remake.
