ARKTIKA.1 Now Available On Oculus Rift

, , , 0

4A games and Oculus Studios have released ARKTIKA.1, a new VR action shooter for the Oculus Rift. Backstory is that a man-made ice age called the Great Freeze has put the existence of the human race at risk, and it hasn’t been helped at all by the emergence of mutant cannibals and packs of barbaric raiders. Your goal as a hired mercenary is to protect one of the last human colonies from these hunters. Yevhen Fedorets, lead game designer at 4A, says “We spent quite a bit of time perfecting the core gameplay mechanics in ARKTIKA.1. From the weapon selection and customization options to the advanced node-based teleportation system, everything in the game supports immersion and storytelling. We can’t wait to hear from Oculus fans who are about to experience the world of ARKTIKA.1 for the very first time!” ARKTIKA.1 is now available for the Oculus Rift for $29.99, but there’s more.

Rock Band VR Launching In March

Rock Band VR Launching In March

While PC players were left without the prospect of getting their hands on Rock Band 4 following an unsuccessful crowdfunding campaign by Harmonix, those with VR hardware will be able to rock out with plastic instruments in the very near future. Rock Band VR is a title developed by the studio that is set to launch on March 23 for Oculus Rift. Players will need to have the Oculus Touch motion controller as well as a Rock Band 4 console guitar to play the game, though. While Rock Band VR will come with a classic mode similar to the game modes in Rock Band 4 and other titles, it will also contain a brand new performance mode. This has been specifically created for the VR experience and is not as rigid in its gameplay as other modes. The full statement from Harmonix about Performance mode says: “In this mode, players experiment with different chords, notes and strum speeds to develop their signature sound and make each performance their own. It’s

The Forgotten Chamber Hits Oculus Rift

Archiact has unveiled The Forgotten Chamber, an ominous virtual reality entertainment experience, now available as a free download from the Oculus Store, for the Oculus Rift. Step into The Forgotten Chamber, a VR experience in the horror and exploration genres. Immersed in a fully 3D VR environment featuring intense binaural audio, players will explore the uncharted depths of an ancient emperor’s tomb, and attempt to unravel its many dark secrets. But beware: some secrets are better left forgotten. Initially developed as a contest entry for a film promotion, the development team at Archiact felt the piece deserved to be re-crafted and released as a full and free experience. Now, The Forgotten Chamber features a new story, updated visuals and voiceover. The cohesion of audio and visuals is key to connecting the player to their experience; gaze-driven exploration allows players to step inside the ominous ruins without the need for a controller. This compliments The Forgotten Chamber’s most powerful feature: true binaural audio that draws players into hair-raising 3D soundscapes. Players pause mid-step,

Alien: Isolation Developers Considering VR Support

Alien: Isolation Developers Considering VR Support

With the current push towards virtual reality technology in gaming, thanks to the ever-growing popularity of the medium, more and more publishers and developers are looking to make their titles compatible with VR devices. The latest to throw their hat into the ring is Sega, who recently confirmed that they are considering supporting VR headsets with some of their titles – including the critically acclaimed Alien: Isolation. There are a few mods for the game on PC that allow players to use devices such as Oculus Right but they are incredibly buggy and don’t work properly. This has left many players wanting to get an official version of the game that fully supports virtual reality. “VR has caught the whole company’s attention,” Sony European head Jurgen Post said in an interview with MCV. “We have a lot of VR kits in the office and people are playing with it. We are exploring ways to release games. We’ve not announced anything, but we are very close to making an announcement.” “We

Oculus Rift Price Set at $600

Oculus VR has officially opened pre-orders for the Oculus Rift headset, and the price has turned out to be quite steep for the new VR headset. Per the official website, the site will go for a hefty price tag of $599.00. That’s for the consumer model version, which will include the headset, a sensor, the Oculus Remote, cables, an Xbox One controller, EVE: Valkyrie and Lucky’s Tale. While the price tag is quite heavy, pre-ordering the Rift at least nets players free copies of Lucky’s Tale and EVE: Valkyrie. However, another wrinkle to this is that the shipping date has now been apparently shifted back to June 2016. The official release of the Oculus Rift is supposed to be March 28, but it seems like it won’t actually ship to consumers until much later. VR and the Oculus have been getting a lot of hype for quite some time. However, this is the year for PlayStation VR and Oculus Rift to yield some hard results. With Oculus Rift setting its

Nintendo Not On Board With Virtual Reality Hardware

, , , , , , 0

For the last few generations of gaming, the focus has been on better graphics and the ever growing online community. But recently, a push for Virtual Reality has gotten the attention of many a company. What was once just the Oculus has now grown with Microsoft’s Hololens and Sony’s Project Morpheus. Yet Nintendo, a company who actually dominated the last console war through the use of motion control technology, apparently isn’t game on joining in this race. Speaking with Polygon at E3, Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime stated why he and Nintendo, at present, aren’t on board with VR. “What we believe is that, in order for this technology to move forward, you need to make it fun and you need to make it social,” Fils-Aime explained. “I haven’t walked the floor, so I can’t say in terms of what’s on the floor today, but at least based on what I’ve seen to date, it’s not fun, and it’s not social. It’s just tech.” This is very interesting, as Microsoft actually

Oculus Rift pricing revealed by CEO

Oculus Rift pricing revealed by CEO

The CEO of Oculus, Brendan Iribe, has revealed that the “all-in” price for the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset will be in the region of $1,500. Although that price seems incredibly high, Iribe explained that that price would include the cost of other hardware, including a brand new computer if the owner didn’t already have one capable of using the VR headset. Considering that the specifications for computers will be rather high in order to use the consumer version of Oculus Rift, including 8GB+ RAM, an Intel i5-4590 or higher processor and a graphics card that is at least equivalent to a Nvidia GTX 970 or AMD 290. This means that a brand new computer capable of using the headset would cost between $1000-$1200, thus giving it a stand-alone price of around $300. The CEO went on to say that he believed that the “all-in” would fall to $1000 in the coming years, possibly due to a combination of falling system specs for the headset, cheaper hardware and a fall

Consumer Oculus Rift Not Due Until 2016

Consumer Oculus Rift Not Due Until 2016

Oculus has today announced that their long-awaited virtual reality headset, the Oculus Rift, will not be made available to consumers until at least 2016. Reports over the last year have suggested the device would hit store shelves in 2015 but this new information confirms that isn’t the case. The company also declined to give a firm release date other than the first quarter of 2016, what specifications the consumer version will have or exactly how much it will cost. It’s been a busy 12 months for Oculus. In July of 2014 Facebook acquired the company for $2 billion in a move that was widely criticized by backers and fans who felt that the purchase could mean that the Oculus Rift headset might only be used exclusively on Facebook products. Executives from both companies went on record to confirm this would not be the case. In the same month, the second devkit of the product was shipped to developers who had backed the project. Known as the DK2, it featured a
