There is going to be a lot of info (hopefully) this week. Pax just passed and Sony will be having their conference (one of the main focus topics will be psvr) on September 7th, 2016 and then the Tokyo Game is from September 15th - 18th. So let's take a look at some of the titles and added experiences that were announced and what we can expect.
PlayStation VR Worlds Gets New Features For Casual and Competitive PLay...AWESOME:
With PlayStation VR Worlds comes out October 13th and is bundled with the mega bundle that includes the PSVR helmet, the camera, two move controllers or you can buy it separately for $39.99. With adding casual to the mix it will allow someone who is not really good at games, but wants to maybe get into them or a way to show off what PSVR is all about. In the London Heist for example, casual will add laser sites to the guns and reduces the difficulty level. With Ocean Decent it adds 3 levels with each level telling a story.
For competitive side of the coin you will see how you rank among others. In the London Heist for example, there will be four shooting ranges that will test your skill with the various weapons and record your score separately with both laser sighted and unassisted modes. Dangerball will add tournament and quick play modes that will add some special modes into the mix. VR Luge gets timed leader boards to see who can get to the end in the quickest time so you can race against the 'ghosts' of others. There will also be carefully crafted trophy targets to achieve.

Carnival Games VR:
Yes the same Carnival Games that was on the Wii is coming to the PSVR. And just like how the Wii version allowed you to use motion control to play the games, but adding VR to the mix will be playing these Carnival Games in a whole new level. So step right up, carnival goers are welcomed to the virtual big top! The original brought the fair experience into your home, but on October 28th, you will be taken right to the middle of the midway with 12 VR games:
Alley Ball: Roll nine balls down the lane and into the holes at the end of the alley.
Ring Toss: Try to toss five rings onto pegs for points.
Golden Arm: How good is your throwing arm? Try to knocking over the golden milk jug(s) with a baseball.
Down The Stretch: Be the first to finish the race by rolling the ball into the holes at the end of the ramp.
Pop Darts: Pop as many balloons as possible with six darts. Hit the moving targets to pop all 8 balloons on that station.
Shooting Gallery: You have unlimited shots – but you’re racing against the clock – to hit as many scripted targets as possible.
Climbing Wall: Look around you and climb as fast as you can to reach the treasure at the top of the wall.
Shark Tank: Try to dunk all three patrons by throwing the ball at the moving target as quickly as possible.
Funnel Cake Stacker: Catch as many funnel cakes on the tray as you can.
Swish: You have 60 seconds to make as many baskets as possible.
Haunted House: You’re on a cart moving through a haunted house, now take aim and shoot as many targets as possible!
Fast Pitch: All kinds of crazy pitches are coming your way – how many can you catch?
Now that you’ve won some tickets, it’s time to turn them in for some virtual prizes and unlock new games! You can interact with prizes in a free-form VR setting in the “playrooms.” For example, you score enough tickets to buy a Ball-and-Chain – try swinging them around in the Prize Room. It’s more than just a trophy room, though – it’s a sandbox! Goof around with your prizes in a free form environment and see what happens! (Pro-tip: Many of the game’s Trophies are earned through how you play with prizes.)
There is more – be sure to challenge friends on the leaderboards! Each game will have a leaderboard to track your game scores and compete against friends.
So get ready for that PSVR train and it's getting ready to launch with full speed ahead.
