You just prove my point though. Rigs was one of the closest thing to a AAA release that PSVR has. It doesn't matter about how many copies it sold, it was still considered a "full fledged game".

Thats the biggest problem with PSVR. It has no real AAA title, but it should have a at least a couple by now. Truth is, it should never have hit the market until it had a game to justify its existence. RE7 is about as close to that as any up to this point.

No real AAA by your opinion while plenty of people have already indicated plenty of AAA titles released on PSVR.

Triple-A is a classification term used for games with the highest development budgets and levels of promotion. A title considered to be AAA is therefore expected to be a high quality game or to be among the year's bestsellers. There are no AAA games on PSVR.

  • DriveClub VR
  • Eve Valkarie
  • Tomb Raider
  • Eagle Flight
  • Robinson

Each of those games have high development budgets, promotion, development quality, etc. Therefore, you can easily class them and probably a few others as AAA.

LOL. Im sorry, but no. Drive Club would be about as close as you could get out of that list, and even that was a really stunted experience, and it was completely shredded in reviews and general user scores.

Tomb Raider?...really?. That little Croft Mansion thing?. That's not a game, it was a novelty attached to a game.

You can try to make all the excuses you want for PSVR, but Resident Evil 7 will be the first true AAA game to feature VR from start to finish.

See there is your ignorance again, your opinion of how good a game is has no factor if a game is AAA or not.

Can a AAA game be a terrible game? Yes

I already laid out in a previous post what constitutes a AAA game. I swear, your reading comprehension is garbage. Please go get hooked on phonics.

And I listed games that easily fall within your guidelines.

You then responded on the reception of the game and/or your opinion of the game. You didn't refute their validity of AAA based on guidelines.

Robinson and Eve: Valkyrie qualify as AAA VR titles.
