We’re starting to dig into the second month of 2017 and have a solid handful of new experiences this week spanning from social platforms to virtual escapist villas. Our first highlight is VRChat, a deeply customizable and free social VR application that could potentially see plenty people burning hours at a time in virtual reality....
It’s a rare week here in Oculus camp; there are actually quite a few more Rift releases than there are Gear VR ones. In fact, that might be the first time ever that’s happened, as there aren’t actually any new Gear games at all this week. Rift is picking up the slack, though, with a...
We hope you’re still enjoying Resident Evil 7 [Review: 9/10], because it’s another quiet week here on the PlayStation VR front. Just one fully new game graces this week’s release list and one DLC pack. They’re both good, but it’s still overall light on content. If you get into the PS4’s 4.50 system software beta...
Rift leader Nate Mitchell confirmed an update is rolling out to owners of the Facebook VR headset that smooths out the carpet on the floor seen in Oculus Home while also improving the way larger tracking setups work. “A big focus this month on making sure 3+ sensor setups are working optimally,” Mitchell wrote on...
After announcing the launch of a VR studio last year, Justin Roiland, the co-creator of the hit animated show Rick and Morty, is set to deliver the keynote address at VRLA Expo 2017. VRLA Expo is one of the industry’s largest and longest running events. Hosted once again this year at the Los Angeles Convention Center,...
Thanks to VR, I’ve stood toe-to-toe with zombies, killer robots, giant spiders, and psychopathic killers, but none of them were as intimidating as Tri-Tip. Knockout League’s first fight is with this Brazilian boxer. The match is a bewildering mix of both belittlement and empowerment. At first I cower at the site of this brute, sturdy...
Plenty of great VR games fly under the radar, but Neverout is one you definitely shouldn’t miss. This was one of the best Gear VR games of 2016, and soon it will be available on Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. I know so, because I’ve played the Rift version of SETAPP’s first-person puzzler this week....
2016 could be considered the official introduction of virtual reality to the world and many industries have either embraced the technology at varying levels or simply started paying attention to movements within the industry. 2017 is going to be a pivotal year for the technology’s growth and there will be many events welcoming VR as an...
Double Fine, the studio behind cult classic Psychonauts (2005), last year announced a PSVR exclusive, Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin, a direct continuation of the original story. Now the company has set the game’s release date and released a new 360 trailer. Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin follows a band of psychic spies who...
VR devices are home to some of the best asymmetrical multiplayer experiences out there. These are the sorts of games that pit players against one another in completely different roles. For example, Evolve from Turtle Rock Studios is a relatively popular (although with a mixed reception) recent asymmetrical game in which one player is a...
