Additional weapons, updated AI and a reworked lighting system are among the latest free updates coming tomorrow to Espire 1: VR Operative's Assimilation for PS4 by Digital Lode.
Check out the latest Espire 1: VR Operative's Assimilation PlayStation VR trailer video below via Tripwire Interactive, and to quote from Game Director Michael Wentworth-Bell on what's incoming:
With this update, we wanted to bring more polish to how the game controls and looks, as well as introduce a whole bunch of free new content. Now players will have even more freedom to approach stealth scenarios in delightfully satisfying ways.
New for PS VR
Espire 1 for PS VR now looks and plays better than ever before. The Assimilation update gives PS VR players a significant update to enemy AI, a complete rework to the lighting system in every level of the game, nine new Virtual Challenges and two new weapons.
This means there’s a bunch of new content to enjoy for existing players, and brand new players are getting the most robust version of the game to date!
For the VR players who want to scratch that arcade-y VR itch, there are a handful of brand new virtual challenges:
Climbing Challenges
Use the PS Move controllers to complete climbing puzzles before you get squashed by the fast-moving crushers!
Weapon Challenges
Test your accuracy in this Espire-flavored shooting gallery as you run and gun through stages that test your reflexes during tense firefights.
Intel Challenges
Get in, avoid detection, gather the intel, and get out in the fastest time possible.
New Weapons
Two brand new weapons have also been added that give you new options on how to approach each environment. Additionally, both new weapons have their own series of challenge modes.
Vector SMG
A 45-Round SMG. It fires two rounds at a time, once when pulling the trigger and again when letting go. This makes the weapon ideal for mid-range combat.
Sawed-off Shotgun
A brand new shotgun with a wider spread that can be holstered as either a primary or secondary weapon. It also reloads via magazine clip, which is much more efficient than individual shells.
The Espire 1: VR Operative Assimilation update has snuck its way...
Giving you control of the Saints at the height of their power, this is your city and these are your rules in Saints Row: The Third Remastered joining the new PS4 video game releases next week.

Unreal engine 5 in Dreams on PS4? Challenge accepted!
A two hour sculpt from this evening. I was completely in shock over the coolness of the UE5 reveal so I wanted to make this tribute in Dreams. Let me know what you think! Unreal Engine Tribute made in Dreams on my PlayStation 4 in two hours
After watching the Unreal Engine 5 Demo I had to try and make something inspired by that, in Dreams. I’m completely blown away by the fidelity of UE5 and the possibilities near-unlimited polygons could mean for games. What epic has achieved with their Engine is utterly amazing!
At the same time, Dreams stands for something else. Artistic freedom, and freedom from all the technical work that normally goes into creating 3d graphics. In Dreams, it’s about the brushstroke and the style of the artist and Dreams manages to stay true to that idea through almost all of its tools and functions.
The sound was added in post. Let me know what you think of the scene! Unreal Engine 5 Tribute in Dreams, PS4 (with sound)
Here's a version of my Unreal 5 recreation made in Dreams on my PS4. I added the sound in post. Unreal Engine 5 tribute, long version, Dreams PS4 Unreal Engine 5 Tribute V2, made in Dreams, PS4 Unreal Engine 5 in Dreams for PlayStation 4? Timelapse, Chapter Two

The episode will be focused entirely on Ghost of Tsushima, coming to PS4 July 17. You’ll get an extended look at new gameplay footage, including exploration, combat and more. The current cut is clocking in around 18 minutes, give or take.
And just to be clear — there won’t be any PS5 news or updates in this episode, just a big, beautiful look at Sucker Punch’s PS4 open-world epic.
