id Software Unknown Project Rated By Aussie Classification Board

A rating has appeared online for an untitled project by id Software which was on the Australian Classification Board yesterday.

It was registered under the codenamed 'Project 2021B' but it's currently unknown what this game could possibly be. The code name is similar to a prior 'Project 2021A' which ended up being DOOM 3 for PSVR.

The listing was rated 'M' for Mature, has online interactivity, and is down as a multiplatform release. This is significantly different from Project 2021A which was rated as R18+ and was classified as a Virtual Reality game.

I personally don't think it's another DOOM game as I think it would have gotten the same rating as prior games. It's more than likely related to Quake, especially with QuakeCon being in August this year. Maybe it's along the lines of a collection of older games remastered or maybe a brand new reimagining of Quake. They did it for DOOM, so I trust them to be able to do the say for Quake. Either way, we'll probably find out more in the coming months.

Sony Announce The Next Generation Of PSVR

Sony has confirmed they are bringing VR to the PlayStation 5 in a recent post on the PlayStation Blog.

Sony Said the following "Today I’m pleased to share that our next-generation VR system will be coming to PlayStation 5, enabling the ultimate entertainment experience with dramatic leaps in performance and interactivity."

They discussed the following possible improvements coming to the next generation VR by saying:

"We’re taking what we’ve learned since launching PS VR on PS4 to develop a next-gen VR system that enhances everything from resolution and field of view to tracking and input. It will connect to PS5 with a single cord to simplify setup and improve ease-of-use while enabling a high-fidelity visual experience."

The DualSense is probably the best thing about the PS5 and it looks like Sony is planning to continue that trend with the PSVR by adding similar features to the upcoming PSVR controller.

"One of the innovations we’re excited about is our new VR controller, which will incorporate some of the key features found in the DualSense wireless controller, along with a focus on great ergonomics."

Sadly they confirmed the new VR headset is a while off, with it not launching in 2021. It's honestly super refreshing for a gaming company to be somewhat open about current hardware in development, hopefully, this trend continues and spreads to other companies.
