If you snagged a PS VR2 headset, you may want to keep an eye out for Synapse. An upcoming game from nDreams (the creators of Fracked) that was announced at this week’s PlayStation State of Play livestream on February 23. Synapse is the kind of game you play when you want an action-packed thrill ride. And judging by the trailer, that’s exactly what you’ll be getting.
Synapse is a first-person shooter so it’s already off to a great start in terms of putting you right into the action. To make it more exciting though, the developers added a neat twist. Your character also has telekinetic powers. As you progress, you can use this blend of super abilities and firepower to lay waste to your enemies.
To make things even more interesting your telekinesis powers are 1:1 motion controlled. Using the eye tracking to enhance the aiming. Players will be able to “launch, levitate and smash enemies through destructible environments” nDreams says.
PS VR2 Sense controllers will enhance the Synapse gameplay
When Sony finally revealed everything about the new VR headset last year, it confirmed the new controllers would incorporate some of the PS5’s DualSense controller features. Namely the advanced haptic feedback and the adaptive triggers.
Synapse, unsurprisingly, will use these features to enhance the gameplay experience. As nDreams puts it, “so you can feel every moment.” It was also developed with a unique art design to take advantage of the PS VR2’s 4K HDR display. And what really makes this pop is the mix of monochromatic landscapes and enemies, while your powers and certain objects are flush with vibrancy and splashes of color.
Synapse doesn’t have an official release date yet but you can wishlist it on the PlayStation Store. You can also check out the trailer below if you want a sneak peek at the game.
