Skyrim VR: VRFocus' Adventuring Life screenshot

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR

“The achievement made by The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR is one by way of both hardware and design to capitalise upon this. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR’s level of immersion is simply fantastic, and while Bethesda Softworks could well have gone the route of DOOM VFR and created a shorter spin-off experience, developing a brand new The Elder Scrolls instalment specifically for VR would have taken many years and far too much in the way of resources for what is still a nascent audience. As it stands some may find the price point of the videogame a bitter pill to swallow, but for those who dreamed of a truly immersive role-playing experience, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR is simply the best opportunity available today.” – Read VRFocus’ Editor Kevin Joyce’s review of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR.

Two New Horror-Themed PlayStation VR titles On Sale Today

Though Halloween may be still some month away, Sony and publisher Winking Entertainment see no reason to stop the scares from coming, and how released two now PlayStation VR horror titles which both feature themes taken from Chinese folklore.

Though both titles are said to be very different, they share some similarities in where they take their themes and inspiration from, and both are out now for PlayStation VR users to download from the PlayStation Store.

The first title is called The Walker, and is a first-person shooter set in a version of old shanghai which has been infested by zombies. The players of course has a modern firearm at hand to dispose of the undead, but also has the option of a more visceral approach by using a sword for melee combat.

Players will be able to tap into the power of Chinese talismans to use elemental buffs that can be applied to both long-rang and short-range weaponry. Users will need to develop tactics for battling against monsters hiding behind shields, or those wielding swords of their own. Players can even uncover the secret of how to use the talismans to hurt elemental projectiles for an extra advantage.

The second title is called 18 Floors, which is an atmospheric escape room style puzzle-adventure which is set in a strange and surreal space where a series of interconnected puzzles must be completed in order to escape from a sealed room.

18 Floors is planned to become part of a larger series, though the current release features two levels and lots of rooms to explore, each with its own unique setting and style. The background for the title concerns the idea that hell has 18 levels, as portrayed in Chinese folklore depictions.

As a nod to the inspiration, 18 Floors contains quite a few references to Chinese history and culture, which the developers feel adds to the depth and atmosphere of the title.

For future coverage of new and upcoming VR titles, keep checking back with VRFocus.

18 Floors: Room-Escape-Horror ab März für Rift und vielleicht PSVR

Der Publisher Winking Entertainment kündigt einen neuen vielversprechenden Room-Escape-Horrortitel namens 18 Floors von Entwicklerstudio Aoga Tech an, der mit interaktiven Rätselelementen und einer beeindruckenden Grafik punkten möchte. Der VR-Titel soll ab März 2018 für Oculus Rift im Oculus Store erscheinen. Auch eine Umsetzung für PlayStation VR (PSVR) scheint in Planung zu sein.

18 Floors – Schauriger Horror-Escape-Titel für Oculus Rift und PlayStation VR (PSVR)

In 18 Floors übernehmen die Spieler die Rolle von Andrea, die sich auf der Suche nach ihrer wahren Identität in ein steinaltes Gebäude begibt, um eine düstere und geheimnisvolle Etage zu erkunden. In insgesamt 18 verschiedenen Räumen erwarten die Protagonistin furchteinflößende Mysterien, denn jede Tür ist gleichzeitig ein Tor zu einer anderen Welt.

Diese Welten umgibt jeweils eine komplett eigene Geschichte mit jeder Menge Gefahren. Bereits die Namen geben Rückschlüsse auf das Grauen und die Geheimnisse, welche die Spieler darin erwartet: Sealed Room of Phantoms, Train over the Sea of Blood, Forest of Fantasy und City of God sind nur einige der bekanntgegebenen Bezeichnungen.

Das Ziel des Spielers besteht darin, die kniffeligen Rätsel in den unterschiedlichen Welten zu lösen, um aus dem jeweiligen Raum auszubrechen und der Lösung der Identitätskrise näherzukommen. Wie genau diese letztlich genau aussehen und was die Spieler am Ende erwartet, ist bisher ungewiss.

Die Entwickler halten sich derzeit noch über weitere Informationen bedeckt, jedoch versprechen sie ein herausforderndes Rätseldesign sowie ein immersives Spielgefühl, welches das beklemmende Gefühl einer Gefangenschaft realistisch übertragen soll. Ebenso scheint es Uneinigkeit über den finalen Titel im Westen zu geben, denn das VR-Spiel wird sowohl unter 18 Floors wie auch 18 Levels gelistet.

18 Floors soll ab März 2018 für die Oculus Rift im Oculus Store erscheinen. Eine Konsolenversion für PlayStation VR (PSVR) ist laut Trailer wohl ebenso in Planung.

Wir werden euch über Neuigkeiten zum VR-Escape-Horror-Titel auf dem Laufenden halten.
