Playstation VR 2: Eye-tracking horror shocks Youtuber​

Switchback VR uses the Playstation VR 2‘s eye-tracking feature to create some particularly scary moments in the VR game. As game director Alejandro Arqué Gallardo explained to Edge Magazine, there are scenes where players are not allowed to blink.

If they do, it has a disruptive effect on the environment. For example, in a room full of creepy mannequins, blinking will cause them to abruptly change their posture. If you keep blinking, the figures will come alive and even attack.

Cussel ran through this exact scene during the preview event. The train pulls up to a white wing door with the words “Don’t Blink” in blood-stained letters. It opens and Cussel finds himself in a room full of mannequins.

Much to the Youtuber’s dismay, they abruptly change position as soon as he moves his eyelids. It’s almost dark in the next room, and only one dimly lit figure has its back to Cussel. With each blink, more mannequins appear, approaching the train car with jerky movements and unsettling looks.

The Youtuber’s reaction shows just how creepy this is: Cussel sits back in his chair, shakes his arms, and screams. At the same time, he can barely contain his laughter. Fortunately, players are not completely defenseless in Switchback VR, and Cussel can fend off the attack with two virtual guns.

Anyone from UK have been charged yet?
Germany here, I was charged for the controller charging station, not for PSVR2 yet.

The mails with the notification came two days apart from each other, so I expect them to charge tomorrow.
