The VR Game Launch Roundup: Lots of Guns, Little Collaboration

VR Game Roundup

Welcome back to the first VR Game Launch Roundup of 2021, a time where VRFocus looks to the week ahead and what virtual reality (VR) content is due to arrive. While January can be a quiet month after all the festive sales have ended there are still a few interesting titles to arrive, especially for PlayStation VR owners.

CollabHub

CollabHub – CollabHub

Ok, so not technically a videogame but with lots of you having to work remotely these types of app are becoming popular. CollabHub is built around a central whiteboard where up to 12 of you can get together come up with ideas, and then put digital pen to digital paper so to speak.

Having been in Early Access since 2017, next week sees the official launch of CollabHub.

Buried Alive: The Annihilation VR – The Two Ravens

Created by two-man development team The Two Ravens, Buried Alive: The Annihilation VR is a gritty VR wave shooter. Released as an Early Access title, this visceral shooter sees you having to survive hordes of monsters anyway you like using medieval poles, axes, bows and of course plenty of guns.

To mix up the gameplay, Buried Alive: The Annihilation VR features an open world where you can explore, uncover the storyline, buy and upgrade guns as well as solving puzzles and finding a few easter eggs along the way. 

Hitman 3

Hitman 3 – IO Interactive

Time for the biggest launch of the month, IO Interactive’s highly anticipated Hitman 3. Supporting most console and PC platforms, the PlayStation 4 version also happens to be PlayStation VR compatible. The entire campaign alongside all the additional modes are supported in VR, you can even bring locations from Hitman 1 & 2 – if you own them – into the third installment.

This will be the first time you can fully step into the shoes of Agent 47 and enjoy all the immersive qualities VR offers. The title only supports DualShock 4 controllers though, PlayStation Move isn’t supported.

  • Supported platforms: PlayStation VR
  • Launch date: 20th January

Bullet Roulette VR – Fibrum

For a very, very different style of shooter there’s Fibrum’s Bullet Roulette VR, adding a slight spin to the infamous game of Russian Roulette. With single and multiplayer modes, you sit at a table with three others and try to survive as long as possible.

To offer some variety and strategy to the experience you’re provided with various cards which can alter the gameplay and even save your life if you’re lucky.

  • Supported platforms: PlayStation VR
  • Launch date: 21st January

Glider Sim – Joey Sipos

Designed to be a professional paragliding and paramotor simulator, Glider Sim will be an Early Access title when it arrives next week.

“Lots of attention went into the flight physics of the gliders as well as the wind and thermal system. Set your launch point and flying conditions then takeoff into the skies! Use wind current such as ridge lift and thermals to stay airborne,” notes the developer.

  • Supported platforms: Oculus Rift
  • Launch date: 21st January

Meeting App CollabHub Set for Official Launch Next Week

CollabHub

For the past three years, CollabHub has been developing its drawing/meeting app of the same name as an Early Access title on Steam. Allowing users to collaborate through a virtual whiteboard, CollabHub will soon be leaving Early Access as well as coming to the Oculus Store for the first time.

CollabHub

CollabHub enables up to 12 people to jump into a VR environment with a big interactive whiteboard at the centre. This focal point can then be used to draw diagrams such as flow charts, org charts, mind mapping, process diagrams and more using over 30 shapes including lines, rectangles, ellipses, arrows, and triangles.

These can then be moved and edited as required during a session by any user as well as importing PNG images to further enhance those diagrams. Once complete, the board can then be exported to an image file (PNG) or scalable vector graphics file (SVG) to easily share with others.

The app also features customisation options to change the colour, material and opacity of the board, a night mode is available to work under a starry sky, plus several indoor and outdoor environments. Avatars can be personalised to each user’s individual tastes with voice and lip-synch providing a more expressive experience.

CollabHub

The VR virtual meeting sector has grown extensively over the last 12 months, as both companies and individuals find new ways to interact remotely. From social hubs like AltspaceVR to fully blown conference venues in the Vive XR Suite, depending on the level of interaction required there should be an app to suit most needs.

CollabHub will leave Early Access on Steam and hit the Oculus Store for Rift on Monday, 18th January. An Oculus Quest version is also in the works, with a launch currently slated for Q2 this year. As further updates are released, VRFocus will let you know.
