The Walking Dead is a dominant force in media. It’s a successful comic, has not one, but two successful TV series, and has had numerous video game titles. And now at E3 2017, it has been revealed that Walking Dead is coming to VR through mutliple titles! These games will come via Skybound Entertainment and Skydance Interactive, with the first game being a narrative experience, and will feature both a new setting, and a new cast of characters. “The Walking Dead, it all comes back to moral choice and what would you do as the player. That’s sort of the essential principal pillar of the IP. I think that’s what people who either read the comic, watch the show, play the games,” added Skybound President of Interactive Dan Murray during an interview with IGN. “What better way to experience that than being in the environment itself?” There’s no major details on story or plot, nor a release date, but we will likely hear about it soon.

Valve has hired a significant portion of the development team behind Kerbal Space Program. According to former Valve employee Roger Lundeen, the members of Squad were brought into Valve at some point in the last few months. Exactly what this new group of designers will be working on is unclear. Valve confirmed that hiring of the staff but only stated that more details would be coming soon. However, they have previously announced that they are working on three VR games, which the company has described as full releases rather than experiments. The former Squad team could be working on one of these games. The move isn’t that much of a surprise as Valve have previously hired development teams working on other games and mods in the past. The team that created Portal original began as a student project who were brought into Valve when the company liked their work on a new experimental game that eventually turned into the highly-rated puzzler.

Vive Studios is releasing three new games for its virtual reality headset this month. VR Sports is a Wii Sports-like offering that gives players the chance to experience a variety of different activities, whilst Front defense is a World War II shooter. Finally, MakeVR is a 3D modelling program that was created by Sixaxis that was originally created for another piece of hardware but has been converted to workon the HTC Vive. Vive Studios was set up by HTC in 2016 to act as the company’s own in-house development studio. As well as creating their very own games for the HTC Vive, the studio will also act as a publisher so that they can get content developed by other studios onto the platform to give players a wider selection of titles to choose from. The first game released under this name was Arcade Saga, a collection of games that were inspired by 80s arcade classics such as Breakout, Galaga, and Arkanoid. HTC described the studio as not only a games

A New Patent From Nintendo Depicts A VR Accessory

A New Patent From Nintendo Depicts A VR Accessory

Both the PS4 and the Xbox One will be getting their own VR goggles soon. Will Nintendo follow suit? If they don’t, it’s perfectly understandable — they prefer to start trends, not follow them, and they ARE the company that got burned by their own Virtual Boy. But that was over 20 years ago, and if a patent filed last summer and made public today is any indication, they may be planning to take another shot at VR. Some of the cheaper VR headsets on the market don’t have their own expensive displays built in. Instead they use an inserted smartphone, like Samsung’s Galaxy VR. Because of the shortcut there’s a smaller resolution, but that may not matter to the average consumer yet. This patent depicts something similar, with the detatchable screen of Nintendo’s Switch console fitting into the front of a headset. As to whether this would be top-heavy…..Jimmy Kimmel got to be the first American to hold the Switch in portable form last week, and it appeared to

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

The evolution of technology naturally evolves games. From cartridges to digital downloads, and from 8 bit to 1080p and 4k, video games evolve. However, that doesn’t mean that everyone wants to get on board with said evolution. With both Sony and Microsoft getting big into Virtual Reality games, even going so far as to each developing their own version of a VR headset, Nintendo is strangely not jumping in. They are however doing more mobile titles, even unveiling Super Mario Run at the Apple Event the other day. When asked by USA Today about Nintendo’s potential move to VR, and the possibility of Mario leading the way for that, legendary developer Shigeru Miyamoto has this to say: “I would agree that adapting Mario to new platforms is a key to keeping him relevant,” Miyamoto told USA Today. “But we want families to play together, and virtual reality (which requires players to be closed off from the real world) doesn’t really fit well there. We also like people playing for a
