Moving about the hospital using the same system as Arkham VR, I find some x-rays of a chest, a chest with some strange circular contraption where a heart should be. I am Robert Wilson, voiced by RoboCop actor Peter Weller, and something's really not right with me. I play a short slice of it, where my character wakes up on a ruined ward, the walls broken down and blood smeared on the tiles. The hospital-gone-to-shit-set Wilson's Heart, a stylishly monochromatic 2017 release for Oculus Rift and Touch controllers, will run for more than eight, say its makers at Austin's Twisted Pixel. Early adopters of Sony's VR kit can try it for themselves when it comes out in October.Īrkham VR will be an hour long, give or take a few mistakes, when it launches. Being the Bat has never felt like this before in gaming, and seeing yourself in an in-game mirror as the Caped Crusader, his head nods matching yours, is a surreal and wonderful sight that I'm not about to forget in a hurry. By squeezing the trigger and pressing the main top button, as well as flicking the wrist accordingly, the player can pull useful gadgets from their utility belt, toss Batarangs around the grim back alleys of Gotham, and analyze a crime scene in a fashion very much like the Arkham franchise's patented Detective Mode.

Capcom says that the whole game will be playable in VR, if your heart can handle it.Īrkham VR is merciless of tone-no spoilers, but the situation depicted in one of the two "missions" I play, after you suit up, takes me by surprise with its brutality-and very different of mobility.

Sony's PlayStation VR is the driving force behind this games culture sea change, releasing as it is as soon as October 13 and promising 50 games, at least, available between then and the end of 2016. During the annual conference in Los Angeles, I've strapped all manner of new VR experiences to my face, and largely walked away with my legs wobbly not through nausea, but the very palpable sense that this is the turning point, the moment that matters for this new tech and all the fascinating fun and games that's about to come with it.
