The Flat2VR community is taking the next step and announced a studio that will develop and commercialize licensed VR ports.
The BIG Festival returns in 2024, with eight games nominated for the 'Best XR/VR Award', including My Monsters and No More Rainbows.
Cloudhead Games has announced the VOIDSLAYER update for Pistol Whip, adding three new scenes in June for all supported platforms.
Looking forward to this months upcoming selection of VR titles? Here are all the new VR games due to arrive in May 2024.
This is great news I love virtual reality and my psVR2 however it's clear that the current bespoke way of building VR games is not working. There's some great games that have been released Absol but they are few and far between and if they are native they are clearly lower in budget and scope then at least I would like. It's definitely jarring to.go from high quality games like Spider-Man 2 to the biggest VR releases like Arizona sunshine 2 and see the huge gulp in quality.
This company aims to streamline porting older games into VR and make them feel as VR native as possible.
And to be honest some of my favourite VR experiences have been traditionally flat screen games ported into VR like resident evil 7, 8 4, doom 3 with the aim controller or borderlands 2.
And I'm not saying that there isn't great native VR games to be found I'm saying more traditional games ported over would be very welcome we have decades of amazing games that we all love and VR presents an opportunity to truely bring us into the world.
Excellent news
Amazing news, there're so many forgotten gems out there, these guys have been consistently porting old games like Return to Wolfenstein, Quake 4, jedi knight, etc. Sounds great that they can earn a living by doing official ports, publishers dust off some old properties, gamers get great games in VR, we all win.
Awesome news! Which popular Steam and Switch game do you think is their first project?
Pretty good idea.
