I didn’t notice any discomfort, but the lack of control was a bit odd. It feels less like you’re walking and more like the experience is on rails of some kind or you have on rollerskates. You could also strafe from side-to-side between movement nodes as well. Instead, there are pre-defined waypoints spread throughout the game that you select and your character will automatically slide across the level towards them. In the trailer (embedded below) it seems like the developers included smooth, free locomotion as a movement option but that’s not the case based on what I’ve seen. Movement is a bit unique in Blood and Truth. Reloading was done by slamming the clip into the gun, just like in The London Heist. I could reach down and pull out the silenced pistol on my chest with my right hand and grab an ammo clip from my hip using my left hand. My objective was to track a mobster guy in a hotel/casino and interrogate him to find out the location of his boss, the game’s main bad guy. They weren’t willing to tell me how long it will be, but they did say it’s much longer than a short demo-like experience.Īt a private PlayStation press event yesterday I got the chance to go hands-on with the game and play through a brief section. Now a year later those same developers are working together again but this time they’re taking what they learned from working on PSVR Worlds and making a single, fully-developed game called Blood and Truth.īlood and Truth was announced yesterday during Sony’s Paris Games Week presentation and is being billed as a modern day action game that puts you “in the shoes of an action hero” like never before according to the PlayStation blog post - it feels a bit like James Bond to me from an aesthetic perspective. The package was created by Sony’s London Studio and The London Heist, a short, interactive narrative experience about thieves and an epic car getaway, stole the show. It’s no secret that The London Heist is the highlight from PlayStation VR Worlds, a collection of small VR game concepts that released alongside the PSVR last year.

The same code is now on show at PlayStation Experience, so we thought we’d show you our impressions again.

Editor’s Note: This is our preview of Blood & Truth from Paris Games Week.
