A popular horror title on Gear VR, the latest instalment of the Affected franchise will be coming to Oculus Rift with Touch motion controller support in February, according to developers Fallen Planet. The Affected series and developers Fallen Planet can probably be considered OG’s of the virtual reality horror scene at this point. The original...
After launching the consumer HTC Vive in early 2016, the company began offering a $1,200 ‘Business Edition’ version of the headset which is essentially the same system but with dedicated support, an enhanced warranty, and bulk buying options. Going forward, however, the consumer and Business Edition systems will become increasingly diffentiated products. Speaking Alvin Wang Graylin,...
Last year, Baobab Studios’ Eric Darnell was skeptical about adding interactivity to virtual reality stories because he felt like there was a tradeoff between empathy and interactivity. But after watching people experience their first VR short Invasion!, he saw that people were much more engaged with the story and wanted to get more involved. He...
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...

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....
