Steedeel, yes, this could be the start of open world games in VR, moving well beyond the smaller games we've mostly seen so far aside from some full fledged VR games, like RE7 and some others. Whenever I thought about Virtual Reality, exploring another world was always the goal.

I am interested in when these will be available. I really want to hear them announce Fallout VR for 2018 at least. I hope it's not exclusive.

As far as moments from Skyrim, just exploring the vast open world is an experience in itself. Listening to the birds chirping as you walk through the forest, climbing a mountain and entering a damp, dark dungeon to face off against the tombs of the dead and the evil Sorcerer at the end. Lots of great things in Skyrim.

For the VR Skyrim/Fallout, I'll guess they're doing away with the option for the 3rd person view, instead favoring the intent to have the player be part of this first person view. Main reason I like 3rd person view in games is for the ability to see your character, though I can totally understand why they might choose this FPV instead. We will see soon enough.

Imagine how nerve wracking it will be in dungeons? I have forgot some of the game. It will be like playing it for the first time using the headset.

Yes, there are a nice amount of horror based monsters in Skyrim. More than from Fallout 4 even. Walking skeletons, monsters, demons, etc. The graphics in the dungeons, with the real time lighting and shadows, very cool. In stereo 3D, it should look amazing.

EDIT:

SKYRIM VR http://www.playstation.com/en-us/gam...skyrim-vr-ps4/
Release Date: 11/2017
Genre: Action / Adventure / Role Playing Game (RPG)
Skyrim VR reimagines the complete epic fantasy masterpiece with an unparalleled sense of scale, depth, and immersion. From battling ancient dragons to exploring rugged mountains and more, Skyrim VR brings to life a complete open world for you to experience any way you choose.

I didn't buy Skyrim PS4 as I already have it on PS3, so this being announced is good news IMO for PSVR.

Will keep me out of mischief over the Christmas holidays.

Steedeel, did you get to see the live playstation show of Skyrim VR today? I went to live.playstation.com but the E3 Live Twitch show was just a black screen. I'll have to watch it later hopefully as a replay.

No mate, I didn't. I kind of want to avoid it until I buy the game though. One of my little quirks. I don't like seeing too much. I am the same with films.

Okay, thanks. I'd like to see more of how it interacts with the VR. I found a video showing some of it at e3 2017, but it was from a far distance and the guy playing was having trouble moving and had to use the teleport to cross the ground quickly.
