The Great C

DESCRIPTION

Based on the sci-fi short story by Philip K. Dick, The Great C is a cinematic narrative set in the aftermath of an apocalyptic event. Featuring a thrilling storyline, stunning environments and a powerful soundtrack, the viewer is transported to a desolate landscape in which the remnants of humanity are ruled by an all-powerful supercomputer known as the Great C. Each year, the nearby village is forced to send a young person on a pilgrimage to appease the mysterious machine, a journey from which no one ever returns.

The Great C follows Clare, a young woman who finds her life upended when her fiancé is summoned for this year’s pilgrimage. Leaving the safe confines of her village, Clare must decide whether to accept the rules of her harsh society or fight against the oppressive powers that created it. 

The Great C is a sweeping 30+ minute experience, developed from the ground up to push the boundaries of storytelling in VR and its $5.99.

Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin

Strap on your VR headset, its time for Psychonauts.

DESCRIPTION

**Note: This game is a VR-only experience and requires a VIVE or Oculus headset**

Once again players will assume the role of Raz, an intrepid young psychic and now fully fledged member of the Psychonauts — an elite group of international psychic secret agents!

The story picks up exactly where it left off at the end of Psychonauts (2005)—with Raz, Lili, Sasha, Milla, and Coach Oleander flying off to rescue Truman Zannotto, the Grand Head of the Psychonauts. Their mission takes them straight into the heart of the Rhombus of Ruin—a mysterious part of the ocean as deadly as two Bermuda Triangles back to back!

When the rescue party itself is kidnapped and held prisoner in the Rhombus, Raz is immobilized and must use only his psychic powers to reunite his friends, reveal the identity of the kidnapper, and free Truman before the madness of the Rhombus consumes all their minds.

Archangel

Become more than a warrior, more than a protector. 

Become the people's deliverance. Become Archangel!
Welcome to the United States, 2089. A traitor revealed the secret development facility for Project Deliverance, triggering a surprise attack from HUMNX and forcing you to launch the mech before its completion. Rise up from the rubble, connect your neural link, and prepare for combat in this intense, cinematic VR arcade shooter. 

Cinematic arcade VR shooter
Take the fight to the enemy with twin controllers or gamepad control. Fire an array of weapons on each mighty mech arm, or smash enemy units with your massive fists when they stray too close. You’ll need quick reflexes to react to flying and ground foes attacking in never-ending waves, but you’ll need tactics too: each high-tech HUMNX enemy has a different vulnerability. Plan your upgrades carefully as you unlock new state-of-the-art weapons. Your choices could mean the difference between success… and destruction.

Seek revenge… or deliverance
Choose to be Gabriel or Gabby Walker, experienced combat ace, Archangel test pilot, and last best hope of The Free. You’ll fight more than HUMNX forces: you’ll face shadows from your past, reminders of the decisions that earned you the codename “Guardian” but cost more than you could bear. The newly-forged mech AI, M1KL, experiences the world linked to your mind, seeing what you see, feeling what you feel. Together you’ll face overwhelming odds in a desperate battle to deliver this single Archangel prototype mech to the secret resistance facility Deep Mountain. Do you have what it takes to become the people’s deliverance?

FTS: Acclaimed Kartong - Death By Cardboard! Moves Beyond VR to Also Release for PC

Critically acclaimed “creepy cute” stealth shooter Kartong - Death by Cardboard! will be launching on April 4th. After an Early Access phase with multiple top spots on the Steam VR global bestseller list, the studio now has even bigger plans for the game. Kartong - Death By Cardboard! will feature a non-VR-mode, making it the studio’s first PC release!

“Our motto at SVRVIVE Studios has always been ‘Immersive first’, but with Kartong - Death By Cardboard! we had such fantastic player response during Early Access that we decided to invite non-VR gamers along for the full release. We’re excited to announce that the game now can be played both as a PC game and in its original VR mode ”, says Nils von Heijne, Creative Director at SVRVIVE Studios.

Kartong - Death by Cardboard! puts you up against wicked experiments inside the miniature city of Kartong. An oddly charming YouTuber has shrunken you down to the size of a guinea pig and trapped you in his self-built cardboard maze of evil toys and traps. Your life now depends on mediocre office supply-weapons and your every move is being filmed for his YouTube enjoyment - a truly odd experience, all wrapped up in challenging stealth/FPS gameplay.

Both PC and VR modes will offer procedurally generated levels with constantly changing maps, traps, weapons and toy-enemies. The many difficulty levels will push you to the limit and the unique seed system allows you to replay favorite maps and share them with friends. For the full release, Kartong also features a new progression-system where the enemies you slay drop special coins to upgrade your crossbow, with a special skin for those who beat the game!

With the new gameplay concept Kartong Co-Labs, the studio is also putting your favorite streamers and YouTubers into the deadly cardboard world of Kartong. The custom-made Co-Labs maps will feature different guest events, providing players with a growing library of challenge maps to explore. The various Co-Labs partners will be announced inside the game and on SVRVIVE Studios’ website as they go live.

Kartong - Death by Cardboard! is the second title coming out of the Swedish immersive games studio SVRVIVE Studios, following the success and global acclaim for the mystery adventure game SVRVIVE: The Deus Helix.

Mixer Interactivity, Mobile Broadcasting and Windows Mixed Reality Arrives in the Minecraft 1.2.5 Update

What’s happening? Hot off the heels of MINECON Earth, Minecraft takes a deep dive into the world of Mixer Interactivity and Windows Mixed Reality with the 1.2.5 update, graduating from beta today! Players will be able to build, explore and battle mobs from new, creative perspectives, making this update the most immersive yet.

What’s coming in the 1.2.5 update? Quite a few things, actually:

• Native mobile broadcasting and Mixer Interactivity:
  
  • Players on Android ~and~ iOS platforms will gain access to instant, native broadcasting from directly within the game. By pressing the new “broadcast” button in the Settings menu, you can begin broadcasting to streaming services such as Mixer, YouTube, Twitch, Mobcrush and Periscope. If you’re streaming on Mixer, you’ll utilize the power of Faster Than Light technology, enabling you to broadcast with sub-second latency and also co-stream your gameplay with up to three friends.
    
    
  • We’re also introducing native Mixer Interactivity for Bedrock Engine-based platforms! Any Minecraft command can be turned into an interactive button on Mixer, enabling communities to play along with their favorite streamers in real time. Create mazes or puzzles for the streamer to solve, or summon Mobs, pets and zombie spawns – the possibilities are endless. ;)
    
    
• Windows Mixed Reality: Building, exploring and coming face-to-face with monstrous mobs in Minecraft takes on new meaning when experienced with a Windows Mixed Reality immersive headset. Now you can share the adventure with friends playing on mobile, Windows 10 or console, set up your own world with Realms, or join one of the massive player-run servers. Creeping into dark caves inspires even greater trepidation thanks to 3D audio, and Creative mode will take on a fresh perspective. Minecraft will work across all Windows Mixed Reality-immersive headsets and badged PCs.

For the full announcement and more information, check out Minecraft.net!

In Case You Missed It

• We announced the Minecraft 1.2.5 beta last month, which introduced mobile broadcast testing on Android, and interactivity testing on Android, Xbox One and Windows 10.
• MINECON Earth took place last weekend, and it was AWESOME. We also announced a ton of cool stuff during the livestream that you should probably know about, like The Update Aquatic and a new mob. Minecraft.net has the scoop in case you missed it!

Samsung Odyssey VR Headset... to wait or to buy? That is the question.

The Samsung Odyssey is coming out this fall... along with Windows VR headsets from Dell, HP, Asus and others. Prices will vary along with quality, look and comfort but... are you interested?

This looks bad ass. - Luis D. Lucha | Sdgt Ent

If you're looking to get a VR headset for your Windows 10 PC... first make sure it can handle the hardware through the official Microsoft compatibility app, but also take a step back and find out if it has the content worth buying the hardware for (when it comes to you). Luckily for gamers... SteamVR will be here for us, but even with that in mind... make sure the games are up your virtual alley. If you know what type of VR action you're into, that is.

I think it'll be worth it for the entertainment. - Yang | Sdgt Ent

Not everyone will get a chance to try before they buy, but try to get your eyes on plenty of reviews before you fire off on a specific one. Look out for the quality and make sure its something you can wear for a long period of time and often. Also, look out for the sound quality if it has built-in headphones, to make sure it's not crappy. 

Weigh your options!!! What else can you get, if you're strapped for cash and you have to save up for one of these... then drop the money into one that's worth the money. In other words... avoid the ones that are understandably cheap.

These specific headsets are known as mixed reality headsets (that don't require additional sensors around the home) and... I look forward to the day these things are advanced enough to be wireless, allowing me to walk around my home freely. If I were going to get one this fall, it would probably be the Samsung Odyssey due to the AMOLED screens and the AKG headphones... because the quality needs to be there in order for me to get my actual worth out of it (especially for $499 + tax). The better the quality, the more I can appreciate the experience.

A game has to be... super good to get me back to motion controls. - RkRk | Sdgt Ent

The Samsung Odyssey gives you 2880 x 1600 in resolution, OLED display, 90Hz refresh rate, 110˚ max field view, headphones + dual array mics and motion controllers (the ones you see here). By the way... when it comes to VR controllers, it wouldn't hurt to have some with additional buttons for the purpose of advanced gameplay. Then again... I am completely fine holding a standard game controller while without flailing my arms about.

Samsung Odyssey VR Headset... to wait or to buy? Hmm, depends on if you're content with the cost mainly. There are people that go after the latest tech and want to maximize their experiences, so if you want to get your hands on one... do yourself the biggest favor and enjoy it to the fullest.

Tiny Trax: The VR game that should also have an AR version + Info From the Source!

Playstation VR racers... start your (little) engines at E3!

Check out the trailer below... and then I will speak on why I think this game should have an AR version.

I know the environments in this game help you get immersed, but imagine this game having tracks laid out in your living room, dorm room or office. That would be sick... in the totally awesome way, because not only will it give you the slot car action in a game... it would take it to the next level of being closest to its real life setting. Anyway... on to news from the source! 

TINY TRAX RACES ONTO PLAYSTATION VR

Studio behind Velocity 2X announces new online multiplayer VR slot racer billed as 'Micro Machines meets Scalextric' * Epic racing in a tiny world! Award-winning Brighton-based studio FuturLab has announced Tiny Trax, a stunning new slot racing game for PlayStation VR. Set for release this summer, Tiny Trax sees childhood imaginations come to life as tiny cars boost around your body, jump overhead and drift around bends on a virtual slot racing track just inches from your face. Importantly, a player’s viewpoint of the game mimics that of a child surrounded by a giant toy racing track inside each virtual world, which creates an extremely comfortable and satisfying experience. Boasting online multiplayer functionality for up to four players, Tiny Trax features 12 tracks across three environments – Tropical, Fire & Ice and Outer Space – with six vehicles to choose from. The music has been composed by leading video game composer Joris de Man, whose previous work includes Horizon: Zero Dawn, Killzone and FuturLabs’ own Velocity 2X. Tiny Trax will be available for hands-on demo at Sony’s pre-E3 press event next month (Monday June 12th), on the show floor during E3 and with a roll-out in Europe and North America expected this summer. The game is the brainchild of game designer Dave Gabriel, who came up with the concept when he was a game tester at FuturLab. Backed by FuturLab’s management team, Gabriel took on the challenge of designing Tiny Trax from the ground up – covering everything from the controls, to the levels, to deciding trophies. He has since been promoted to game designer. “We’re delighted to announce Tiny Trax – it’s a game that will appeal to players of all ages, allowing them to dive straight in and recreate the thrill of slot racing in immersive virtual environments,” said FuturLab MD James Marsden. “In addition, it’s a great testament to the team here at FuturLab – particularly Dave Gabriel – that Tiny Trax will be demonstrated alongside titles from industry heavyweights at Sony’s E3 booth.”
