Japan Studio have updated free-to-play The Playroom VR on the PS4 with a brand new game. The new game, called “Toy Wars” is free to download for all PlayStation VR owners, and is available to download now. It’s a four-player co-op tower defense-style game set in an underground base under the bedroom of our hero.
Sony has announced that The Playroom will be getting some free DLC tonight in the form of AR Studio. The DLC was first announced back at E3 2014, and allows users to further customise their surroundings for broadcasts, by adding virtual banners, animations and more. The DLC was originally titled “Set Maker”, but has since been renamed to the more fitting title of AR Studio.
At E3, Sony revealed that new DLC was coming to The PlayRoom in the form of Set Maker. The new DLC lets you turn your living room into a TV studio so you can host their own shows via UStream, Twitch and soon YouTube. The new DLC will let you create virtual banners and holographic billboards to decorate your place.
The Playrooms on the PS4 has been updated with a new patch and more free DLC in the form of Ninja Bots Land. In the Ninja Bots game, the AR Bots are transported into a training course for up to four players. The aim is to run, dodge and jump your way through the course.
Sony hosted a PS4 event in Hong Kong were it showed off the PS4’s features including more footage of the PS4’s Dynamic Menu, multi-user sign-in, the PS4 camera and The PlayRoom app. The video, shot by MemeHK, is just under 30 minutes long and includes some new UI footage and a Q&A session.
The first trophy list for the PS4 has appeared online on the PSNProfiles website, revealing 12 trophies for The Playroom, including one gold and four silver trophies. The game comes pre-installed on the PS4 when it launches in November, though a PlayStation Camera is required to make use of it.
The official PlayStation site reveals that the PS4 will come pre-loaded with The PlayRoom, which includes a number of minigames that make use of the PlayStation Camera and new DualShock 4 controller. However, since the game requires the PlayStation Camera, which isn’t bundled with the console, it won’t be playable unless you also pick up the peripheral.
Sony has announced The PlayRoom for the PS4: an augmented reality application that uses the PS4’s Camera and DualShock 4 controller for fun and innovative experiments. The application tracks the Light Bar on the controller using the PlayStation Eye Camera to create holographic panels around you on the screen, allowing you to use the touch pad to scroll and select the various options.
