In PlayStation VR news, today ILMxLAB Executive Creative Producer Mark S. Miller announced Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series is coming to PSVR this summer where players will take control of the smuggler who owns the Force to oppose Lord Vader.
Check out the latest trailer video below, and to quote: The series will be available as a complete series: all three episodes and Lightsaber Dojos will be available for purchase together, for the first time.
One of our first meetings began with a whiteboard. We listed out everything that we thought fans (and ourselves!) would most want to experience, if they were inside the Star Wars galaxy. Wielding a lightsaber was right there at the top of that list, but we knew that if we were going to do that, we had to do it right.
We went through many different mechanics, both in-house and with our partners at Ninja Theory, before we got to the point where you really felt like you were parrying a blow, slicing through metal, or blocking blaster fire. We continually tested and tweaked the feedback until we got it right.
There are so many parts that grab you in the experience, but my favorite is still early in the first episode. The moment when Darth Vader first approaches you is something that can’t really be explained (but I’ll try).
It’s intense when his gaze follows you and he speaks directly to you. I’ve seen some people stand up taller and get in his face, and some shrink a bit or even step back, but his presence is intimidating, and unforgettable.
The team is hard at work getting the story up and running for PS VR, and we can’t wait for you all to experience it and meet Vader face to face. We’ll have more to share in the coming months.

Proceeding the FF7R PS4 Themes, FFVII Combat Tips, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Save Editor and his previous KH3 PS4 Tool this weekend PlayStation 4 developer @iddaemon made available a Final Fantasy 7 Remake PS4 Tool that supports static and skeletal models, maps, textures noting that textures will be auto-assigned if you extract them before loading the map.
There's an ongoing topic from RevolverOcelo, and to quote from id-daemon's post on the release: You can use the tool to convert individual assets, or all assets in a folder.
1. To convert one asset, drop asset file onto the tool, or run the tool from command line with asset filename as parameter.
If asset file contains a texture, in will be exported to "textures" subfolder in Directx10 DDS format. After that you can convert them to the format you like.
If asset file contains static or skeletal mesh, in will be exported to ASCII. Raw data will also be saved in "staticmesh.raw" & "skeletalmesh.raw" folders for later use in map extraction.
If asset file contains a material, it will export material info in a text file, and create "material.db" file with information for later use in map extraction. If "material.db" file already exists next to the tool, it will be updated with newly found materials.
If asset file contains a blueprint, it will create "blueprint.db" file with information for later use in map extraction. If "blueprint.db" file already exists next to the tool, it will be updated with newly found blueprints.
2. To convert all assets in a folder, place the tool in that folder and run it. Tool will search that folder and all subfolders for .uasset files and try converting them all. When...
