skateak Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) Quote The weird world of Danganronpa might not seem like it’s ideally suited to PlayStation VR (PSVR), but we’ll find out if it’s a good fit next week. Cyber Danganronpa the Class Trial VR is coming to Sony’s headset next week, according to Dualshockers. The news was reportedly announced during a Spike Chunsoft press event at GDC 2017 this week. And that apparently means a western release; the game was already released in Japan and Asia and hits North America on March 7th and Europe on March 10th. Not only that, but the game will be free for PS Plus members. That makes Class Trial the first VR-only to be handed out on the subscription service, which offers members free games every month. Sony previously said that it was looking into free PSVR games on its service, but we’ve only seen Hyper Void, a game with optional VR support, come to the headset thus far. Hopefully this is a sign that the company is ready to offer monthly games now. The free release is described by its publisher as a “tech demo”, so we wouldn’t expect too much from it. It sees you stand trail for murder with your other classmates, a premise that will be familiar to anyone that’s played the main games in the series in the text-based adventure genre. You’ll use “truth bullets” to find the real story by shooting through “suspicious statements”. It sounds a little crazy but, then again, the series as a whole is known for its wild characters, in-depth stories and general weirdness. It seems like this will fit that bill. If it’s a demo, then it’s likely a short experience that will give you just a taste of what it would be like to live in the game’s world. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with that, we’d just like to see a full game based on the franchise. And, yes, the series’ now somewhat iconic mascot, Monokuma, will feature. If you’re a fan of the franchise, then, you probably won’t to miss out on this one. Source Edited March 4, 2017 by skateak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Nice, I'm kinda jealous of PSVR owners for this one. Even if it's more of a tech demo than a game, I'd still like to try it out. I can only imagine how awesome it would be if this was made into a full game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon-Archon Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 So is this Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc with VR support or a completely new game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a tech demo, not it's own game or the first game with VR support. I remember seeing it a little while ago, and if it's the same thing, it's just a VR classroom trial with Asahina, Hagakure, Kirigiri, and Togami, iirc, and it's kinda over the top. I guess you're taking the role of Naegi and trying to get through the trial, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xZoneHunter Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Glad we finally get this. It's only 15 minutes long, but it seems like a fun experience. I'd be down for a full VR Danganronpa title though Spoiler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyber Danganronpa Class Trial VR Don't you think it would be called THH if it was D1 in VR? :P I'm pleasantly surprised. I didn't expect western Sony would follow the Japanese branch and release it free for plus members. First benefit for Plus since... since... since...

Neputyunu Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Imagine it would be an "openworld 3D thingy"-game... You turn around and suddenly Monokuma, who stands way too close, is smiling at you... Or that brainfucked serialkiller girl with the splitted personality. (No, not the hot pink one. The other one, with the scissors and the glasses)... (Damn I can't remember any name... I really should start game2 somewhen...)... ... ...I nepped in my pantsu! Ahahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellcoreFire Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Hope we can put it in our library, in case I do decide to get the PSVR set in the future. So along with the free playlink game there could potentially be eight games each month or will the VR game replace one of the Vita or PS3 titles? Or maybe one PS4 and one VR game?

If it's just a tech demo then I doubt it will replace one of the other titles. They'd be crazy to drop a PS4 spot for it as that's where the most of their PS+ money comes from now anyway. And yeah you can just buy games on PSN that are VR required without having VR itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcrunch061 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I'm glad that PSVR folk are getting some love. Hope they like the, umm, tech demo, sort of game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
