First screens and impressions of INIT, coming to the Oculus Rift in 2015

First-person puzzle solving game gets Rift support later this year.

Developed by Narrow Monolith, a three man team based in Bournemouth, UK, INIT sees players test their cerebral skills throughout 40 challenging levels. Imagine Portal mixed with Antichamber and you'll get an idea of how it works. Players need to use switches and platforms to navigate levels, while they can drag and push balls (that speak and feature smiley faces) onto hot-spots to trigger events.

The game was released in 2012 for the PC, but a remastered version is currently in the beta stages of development, with early Oculus Rift support already implemented. The Rift Arcade took a beta build of the game for a quick spin, and came away impressed by the depth of gameplay and integration with the Rift.

That's fine. GT7 would overshadow it anyway at it has open wheel and regular cars.

Should have been spending their time updating Squadrons with better resolution, frame rate, haptics, etc as there isn't a game like that on PS VR 2 yet.

But it's EA. They don't think.

I agree. It would sell better on PSVR2 right now.

A wasted opportunity, but I don't buy EA / Codemasters stuff anyway. Grid Legends just came out on Plus and I haven't touched it. Why would I when I have GT7 and PSVR2?

Not into F1 racing, but still a missed opportunity.

ApocalypseShadow352d ago

That's where opportunity presents itself that they could offer something else that other developers haven't offered yet. Yeah. There's No Man's Sky. But a space game with a story would be great. Like the old days with Colony Wars.

Abnor_Mal352d ago

Exactly, they could have possibly lured more players just from the inclusion of a vr mode.

I miss Colony wars and G-Police, Low-Fi I hope will scratch that itch when it releases. We also need a vr War/Starhawk game.

Knushwood Butt351d ago

Just watched the trailer of Low-Fi. Most definitely on my radar.

Although I never owned an oculus, I played the demo for this at an electronics store. Pretty impressive in an early goings of VR title.
