Wow, I did not expect that.

Sony opened up cross platform play a while back, but I can't think of a single game that supported it until now. Makes obvious sense for a VR co-op game though, given how small even the combined install base is.

I am totally sold on VR presence as an enabler for co-op play. Looking over and seeing Cras pushing buttons (or giving me the finger), and hearing Grim...'s voice barking orders from the captain's chair behind me, worked perfectly.

You should get it and come play with the Yes! Chef!s

Oh yeah, it makes all the sense in the world; I'm just still at the point of being pleasantly surprised when companies actually implement this sort of positively non-partisan stuff.

I got a cheevo for driving through an asteroid field without scratching the paint so I reckon I'd also be really good at Driving Real Cars, Myp Edition.

In a shock to us all, we're actually getting quite competent at this.

We just managed a stealth mission, for God's sake.

It's not an especially deep game nor a long one, which I think is a point worth stressing. I'm guessing VR's install base is still too small to justify anyone spending the money needed for longer games. Also, we also completely failed two missions last night -- if you fuck up your strategy, the game is going to happily hand your ass to you.

Having said that, we're five or six hours in and we're only good at our own roles right now. We've been sticking to one bridge position each. I have no idea what helm or captain even do, and I'm worse at being engineering than Jacket. If all I get from this is 20 hours of amazing co-op play for £40, I'm down with that.

Also the next campaign mission (four of five, they take 20-30 minutes each) has a description which makes it sound like the difficulty might be about to ramp up.

Oh, and we haven't had a go at flying the TOS Enterprise yet, other than to start it up and laugh and laugh at how difficult it looks to pilot. Instead of elegant touchscreens, you have dozens of abstract, unlabelled, randomly coloured buttons!

Note that getting the cross-platform multiplayer going will involve figuring out the uPlay based matchmaking, so we're gonna have to boldly go where no man has gone before.

Oh, it wasn't a criticism. I love the idea of the PSVR and hope it's a success.

Craster, on the other hand, on his one go at being tactical, exhausted the supply of proton torpedoes halfway through the mission.

If you come home with unfired torpedoes you're doing spaceships wrong.

You may have one linked to your PSN account, or you might not. I don't think it matters as long as one person in each game has uPlay set up and friends across the PC and PS players, so they can act as a bridge.

Although you might want to get one, because uPlay account have these cheevo things that give you points you can spend on upgrades in different games. I've actually done this, I used points earned in Splinter Cell to buy upgrades in Watchdogs 2.
