Despite being blindsided by the surprise launch, Bit Planet Games is already trying to deliver updates for its title. Initially released for the PC and Meta Quest VR headsets in 2022, Ultrawings 2 won the hearts of many with its colorful visuals, easy-to-grasp mechanics, and fun gameplay loop. On Steam, where the title has a mostly positive overall rating, players praised Ultrawings 2 for being a better version of its predecessor, the original Ultrawings. Series developer Bit Planet Games was set to make its latest offering available on the Sony PlayStation 5 through the PS VR2 by early 2024, but the Texas-based studio was surprised to find out that Ultrawings 2 has already been launched on the platform without its knowledge.. In a recent Twitter post, Bit Planet Games revealed to fans that the January 25 release of the PS VR2 version of Ultrawings 2 was completely unexpected. While the company did not know what happened, Bit Planet Games nonetheless advertised the PS5 launch, highlighting Ultrawings 2's selection of unique aircraft, hundreds of missions, and full HOTAS, or hands-on throttle-and-stick support. Many of the games that are compatible with the PS VR2 are simulators that can be played with special peripherals. The newly released port of Ultrawings 2, which is a game that lets players pilot a variety of unique planes in missions that take place across an island-themed world, utilizes the PS VR2 Sense controller's haptic feedback system. It also features real-time lighting, better visuals, and support for 90 Hz refresh rate, among other improvements.

The developer, however, claimed that the game was still pretty solid even without having received a day-one patch. Many recent titles have launched with massive updates accompanying them, like Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and its 37 GB day-one patch. As Ultrawings 2 is a game that only needs 7 GB of space, according to Steam, its first update will probably be just as humble. Sony continues to invest heavily in true VR experiences with initiatives like the PlayStation VR2. Gamers who do not utilize the relatively new technology could still benefit from the commitment as patents suggest that Sony may incorporate VR-specific technology like gaze tracking into non-VR games.

Based on the novels by Russian writer Dmitry Glukhovsky, the Metro series of games first appeared in 2010 and quickly gained a dedicated following. A second title was released three years later, and fans had to wait another six years for the most recent game, Metro Exodus. As it’s been almost five years since the launch of Metro Exodus, fans of the series have been getting antsy for news about a potential follow-up. The PlayStation State of Play is expected to take place sometime at the end of January, and there have been rumors that the long-awaited new Metro game will be revealed then. However, as happens so often these days, details about the next entry in the series may have leaked early. Unfortunately for some and to the joy of others, the next Metro game may be a VR release called Metro Awakening, according to known leaker Kurakasis. It will also, says Insider Gaming, be a single-player experience. And since it’s rumored that it will be revealed at the PlayStation State of Play, it might be a PS VR2 exclusive as well. However, in 2020, developer 4A Games announced that the next Metro game was being created for “Gen 9 consoles and PC,” though that plan may have of course changed. It was also mentioned in the same post that the new entry would feature multiplayer, something that has not been offered in previous Metro games. The possible announcement of the next Metro game at the January PlayStation State of Play showcase would coincide with another rumor that dates back to February 2023. At that time, Spanish YouTuber eXtas1stv cited insider information that the next Metro game was planned for release sometime in 2024, and Insider Gaming revealed that it was already in a fully playable state. [align=center]What’s Rumored About the Next Metro Game?[/align] [list] [*][b]Title:[/b]Metro Awakening [*][b]Platform:[/b] PS VR2 [*][b]Release:[/b]2024 [*][b]Game Modes:[/b] Single and possibly multiplayer [/list] The Metro universe with its immersive post-apocalyptic setting and mutated monsters would be ideal for a virtual reality game, but that would also leave a huge portion of the fan base out in the cold. There is always the possibility that a non-VR game is also in the works, or that Metro Awakening will have both VR and standard versions available at some point.

It would doubtless be disappointing for many fans of the franchise if the next chapter of the Metro story were released in a format that only a select few could play, though like Valve’s Half-Life Alyx, it wouldn’t be the first time a developer did just that.

What is Lorem Ipsum? [b]Lorem Ipsum[/b] is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like). Where does it come from? Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32. The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rack...
