Space Pirate Trainer will turn PSVR gamers into Star-Lord in 2018

First demonstrated for HTC’s Vive before hitting the Oculus Rift and Windows Mixed Reality platforms, I-Illusions’ arcade-style VR game Space Pirate Trainer lets you suit up as a Peter Quill/Star-Lord-alike to fight off waves of futuristic drones. Today, Sony announced that it’s coming to PSVR in 2018.

The concept is fairly straightforward, but the visuals are spectacular. You stand on a circular platform, equipped with multiple weapons and a forcefield, blocking and dodging drone attacks while returning fire. A laser whip can grab drones, while single- and dual-handed blasters knock them from the sky. You’re attempting to protect the spaceship behind you through level after level of attacks, and can engage turrets near the ship to help fend off enemies.
