During yesterday’s PlayStation State of Play livestream, Sony showed off a handful of new games coming to PS VR2 this year, including Before Your Eyes. Originally released for PC (you can pick it up on Steam right now for $9.99), Before Your Eyes is a narrative adventure that takes you back through your life through a series of blinks. In the game, you blink, and you jump forward in time to a later part of your life.
One super cool detail here is that you will actually be blinking when playing Before Your Eyes on PS VR2 and the headset will track it. So when you open your eyes again a split second later you’ll progress to a new scene. It’s a small detail but it should make the game feel a lot more immersive. Which, is bound to make it more enjoyable for players.
PS VR2 provides a new way to play Before Your Eyes
Since the game is already available on Steam, it’s obviously not the first time people have been able to play it. It is however the first time you’ll be able to play it without controller inputs. You will of course need the controllers to start the game. But once you begin playing, blinking is essentially your main control. And if you think about it, that’s kind of a neat way to lay out the game’s narrative.
Really, it feels like Before Your Eyes was made for VR. Even if it wasn’t intentionally designed for VR initially. The game’s launch is still a couple of weeks away. But it is available to pre-order right now. And if you’re PlayStation Plus subscriber, you can save some money. Bringing the standard price down from $14.99 to $13.49.
