Skyrim VR just came out a little over a week ago for PC (our full review) and one dedicated player (elliotttate on Reddit) has already used it to lose 10 pounds. In case this isn’t obvious: that’s extremely rapid weight loss. The player accomplished this by enforcing rules upon himself that both increase the game’s […]
Over the past five or so years Leap Motion has been pushing hand-tracking VR forward with its controller-free sensor. Today, though, the company is announcing a move into augmented reality with Project North Star. Just like VR before it, AR, which projects virtual objects into the real world, has input problems right now. Many see […]
Well it’s pretty safe to say this week marks the biggest set of releases for PC VR so far in 2018. We’ve got the long-awaited release of Skyrim VR on PC as well as a bunch of intriguing smaller titles to back it up. Let’s dive in. If you missed last week’s releases they’re here. And don’t […]
Skyrim VR is an amazing game. It was already fantastic when it originally released on PSVR last year and now that it takes full advantage of the Rift and Vive’s more powerful hardware and improved controllers, this may very well be the definitive version of Bethesda’s timeless RPG epic fans have been waiting for. We […]
It may only be a few years old but VR already shares one common trait with traditional videogames: its movie tie-ins tend to be a little lackluster. Free experiences for movies like Spider-Man: Homecoming have underwhelmed and The Martian VR didn’t impress at $20. But it shouldn’t be like this, should it? VR is all […]
This week doesn’t have a ton of new releases, but that’s okay. You know why? Because perhaps the very best VR racing game thus far just got released and it’s an exclusive. Every PSVR owner needs to experience this one. If you missed last week’s releases, you can see those here. UploadVR also launched […]
Other than pretty much every plot point and story beat, the book and movie for Ready Player One are mostly the same…sort of. That isn’t to say that one is inherently better than the other, but they do differ in such dramatic ways that it’s better to think of them as two separate adventures that […]
Ready Player One occupies an important position in pop culture. Roddenberry’s Holodeck defined VR for much of the ’90s and, by the year 2000, the Wachowski’s Matrix wove itself into the common fabric of everyday discussions. Over this same period, personal computers followed a trajectory of becoming even more personal while also embedding themselves as […]
There are few things more elusive than a “good” VR roller coaster game. If you look at the Google Daydream App Store or the Oculus Store for Gear VR you’ll find tons and tons of roller coaster apps that aim to put you in the seat of an immersive thrill ride. There are even plenty […]
Now that GDC 2018 is winding down we thought it’d be helpful to combine all of the VR/AR news from this year’s conference into a single post, like we did from CES 2018 earlier in the year. During this past week Ian Hamilton and Tal Blevins joined me on the show floor as we waded […]
