October 14, 2016 – Farming Simulator 17 releases for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on the 25th of October, only a few days away. The Farming Simulator franchise has entranced millions of players along the years thanks to its popular setting, its addictive gameplay, and the hundreds of vehicles from the world’s biggest agriculture brands available. With today’s Garage Trailer, we’re giving you a sneak peek of Farming Simulator 17’s immense garage that includes more than 250 faithfully reproduced vehicles and equipment spanning 75 brands – and for the first time, AGCO brands: Challenger, Fendt, Massey Ferguson, and Valtra.
Farming Simulator prides itself in its meticulous attention to detail. Every vehicle’s interior and exterior is faithfully recreated in Farming Simulator 17 thanks to loyal partnerships between GIANTS and the vehicle brands.
Some of the vehicles and equipment can be customized: engines, wheels and other pieces and accessories can be replaced to adapt to specific activities, such as equipping a front loader to handle bales, for example. You can also change the color of some of your vehicles so that you’re always driving around in style.
The game now also offers players the option to rent vehicles and tools. Should there be a specific need for a particular piece of equipment which is too expensive to buy, players can rent machines for a lower initial price, and pay affordable operation costs during the rental period.
Last but not least, players can now tune into Farming Simulator 17’s radio stations while working the field. In your vehicles, you’ll have access to multiple radio stations spanning several genres like Country, Rock, and Pop. PC players can also listen to their own MP3 files or favorite web stations and plug them into their Farming Simulator radio!

Thursday 13th October, 2016 – The Assembly, the narrative rich, character-driven interactive story in VR from British studio nDreams, launches today on PlayStation®VR via the PlayStation®Store for $29.99 / €24.99 / £19.99.
To celebrate The Assembly’s console launch, following its release on Oculus Rift™ and HTC Vive™ earlier this year, nDreams will be offering the game to all PlayStation®Plus Members with 25% off the game’s RRP. This offer will run for two weeks from the game’s release, ending 27th October.
PlayStation®Plus Members looking forward to receiving their PlayStation®VR pre-orders are encouraged to make the most of this opportunity by adding The Assembly to their library during this window. Once their new VR headset has arrived, they will be able to install and enjoy the game having purchased it at a substantial discount.
To mark the release of The Assembly on PlayStation®VR, nDreams has issued a launch trailer that highlights the game’s incisive story, tense atmosphere and high fidelity visuals. Watch it here:https://youtu.be/Q5QZkjK-TEU
With The Assembly, nDreams has set out to make the most convincing interactive story in VR to date by combining realistic graphics with life-like positional audio. Even so, every interactive story needs a narrative that captures the player’s imagination, which is why The Assembly has been set against a backdrop of current events and real-life societal anxieties. Having this as the foundation for The Assembly’s story allows the game’s creators to ask players whether it is possible for one person to make a real difference, while also challenging their views of the Assembly and its members, through a series of tough choices with in-game repercussions.
nDreams has designed The Assembly to be an ideal introduction to virtual reality, but one that gamers will still recognize as a fully-fledged videogame. The game includes a range of control schemes to suit both novice and more experienced VR gamers alike. Players are able to freely explore The Assembly’s cohesive world using the DUALSHOCK®4 wireless controller as comfortably as with flatscreen first-person games.
