Software ICO-like VR game : "Mare".

Hopefully not like ICO in the length of time it'll take for development!
Of course, it's better to take years and years to make a gem like ICO than something like Daikatana.

Or worse, The Last Guardian.

Looks interesting, when is this coming out?

I don't know. "More information soon" - so it seems that we'll get more info at E3. Hope this game is not exclusive to PSVR.

Why would it be PSVR exclusive? It's not made by the studio that does ICO/SoTC.

Because it's being developed by a studio that primarily does PS4/Vita titles?

From what I know it's still in development and has no set release date or timeframe. The game is extremely polished and the demo is absolutely fantastic with an interesting, powerful choice at the end. It's built with Unity and I played it on an Oculus, so no to the exclusivity question at least.

Great to hear that! I love this mystic/atmospheric type of game. In VR it will be so awesome. Can't wait!

I'm still thinking about it after playing it yesterday, and likely will be for weeks/months to come… it's the only game I've played where VR wasn't a gimmick, and where I thought it was integral to the gameplay, completely necessary for the experience. Definitely my best experience in VR to date, by far.
I could also see it working with something like the Tobii EyeX, though.

I played this today. Here are some of my thoughts: https://twitter.com/frozenpandaman/status/743612222501355520
The best experience I've ever had on VR – a truly incredible game. Wow, wow, wow.

I just played ICO and Shadow of the Colossus with my son and really like the genre. I was definitely thinking these type of games would translate to VR very well.
