There is always something happening in the news with the rise in the VR world. In particular, we are finding some of the major consoles producing games at a dizzying pace and, indeed, keeping apace with the rapid technological trends facing us.
According to Eurogamer, the PlayStation VR has a space-based science fiction video game. It is called Detached. It has been claimed as a major experience for those in the VR industry, consumers and makers.
As reported, “The entire game is set in zero gravity, meaning the player character in Detached has a full, six degrees of freedom control scheme; similar to standard 6DoF games like Descent or Sublevel Zero.”
You can walk in all directions with new types of motion not seen in other video game, and facilitated by the VR experience. It is quite wonderful on the face of it. As the technology for virtual reality continues to develop, we will begin to see more and more video game immersive reality experiences akin to this; something apart, even far away, from normal experience and regular physics experienced in everyday life.
“Now, I consider myself to have a pretty steady set of VR legs but even for me, some of the movements here had my stomach lurching. The yawing especially sent my inner-ear into meltdown and I felt rather peculiar for about 5 hours after removing the headset, even though I’d settled into the control scheme after about an hour of play,” the reporter opines.
It has the modern beauty of a well-crafted game and a stunning experience visually, especially with the immersive VR gameplay for the user. Happy gaming!
