Lucky’s Tale is as intriguing as third-person platformers get. Its gorgeous graphics and an intriguing narrative could make it the modern VR equivalent of the classic adventure game Myst from 1993. In development for two years by Finland-based studio Mindfield Games, P.O.L.L.E.N reeks (in a good way) of classic science fiction movies like Solaris and Space Odyssey. Instead, it’s all about adventuring and places a focus on picking up and observing objects to find clues and discover what happened aboard the mysterious space station you’re exploring. It’s a slightly different affair to the Alien: Isolations of the world in that there are no monsters to speak of. One of the huge draws of VR is immersion, something that upcoming space exploration game P.O.L.L.E.N has in abundance. Set in massive multi-floor arenas, its backdrops of Dubai and Rio look gorgeous, and we can’t wait to see how its gameplay fares. Of course, your robots have lasers, rockets and plasma cannons, which means you’ll also need jump jets to avoid getting killed all the time. Set 50 years in the future, you control ‘Rigs’ - piloted, highly-tuned, athletic machines that compete in a futuristic, weapon-based sport. Either way, you’ll get your chance in Rigs: Mechanized Combat League, a Project Morpheus FPS heading to the PS4. If you’ve never wanted to pilot a massive mech in VR then you’re probably a liar. Otherside Entertainment recently created a survey to ask gamers what platform they prefer (be it consoles or PC), so there’s a chance that System Shock 3 could come to consoles (and their associated VR headsets) as well as the PC this time around. Little is known about the sequel to the excellent (and very scary) System Shock 2 other than it will once again feature SHODAN, the murderous AI antagonist that stalked your every move back in 1998. System Shock 3Īs if System Shock 3 being announced wasn’t exciting enough, the studio developing it, Otherside Entertainment, may be giving it the VR treatment. Do you run, or do you gun? Arizona Sunshine looks set to make you consider your choice very carefully. In development as one of the first SteamVR games, it will use HTC Vive’s motion controllers to let you blow chunks off approaching enemies. In development by Vertigo Games, Arizona Sunshine is shaping up to be a graphically impressive, fast-paced zombie shooter. For now, though, the thought of getting close enough to smell the rotting flesh of the undead hordes is strangely alluring. There will probably come a time when we’re sick of zombie gamed played in VR. If you disagree, let us know in the comments. We’ve picked the five games we’re most excited about seeing and the 10 games that we think are best now. Oculus‘ story studio takes that one step further, employing ex-Pixar staff to create bespoke first-person VR entertainment.Įven those games that are good fun are often just demos, for products that will be released when the Rift, Vive and the rest are all on sale. Other experiences are like hands-off coaster rides – Sony’s The Deep, for example – which one would hardly want to call games. For example, much as we love Team Fortress 2, you don’t half get motion sick running at the scout’s speed in VR. Picking the best VR games at the moment is tricky because many of the best VR experiences aren’t the best games, and vice-versa.
