PlayStation VR Arcade Throwback Operation Warcade Heads To U.S. Retail Next Month

You may have read articles from a number of outlets in recent weeks about how virtual reality (VR) is potentially the saving grace for the arcade industry. Of course, the growing push and roll out of VR experiences that fall under the digital out-of-home entertainment (DOE) bracket is nothing new. As anyone who has read guest writer Kevin Williams’ The Virtual Arena column will be able to tell you.

However, one thing we have also seen is the arcade being increasingly represented within VR itself. With a number of videogames applications and looking to recapture the feel of going to the arcade complete with throwbacks to classic games of the day. One of the most notable we’ve seen recently is Operation Warcade, a title that brings back memories of the likes of Operation Wolf and other ‘uzi bolted to a cabinet’ shooters from the early eighties where the digital bullets fly and the enemy bodycount is high.

Developed by Ivanovich Games for the PlayStation VR and published by Perp Games has now been confirmed as heading to the North American retailers on September 4th, 2018 and will be priced at $29.99 (USD), incorporating 100 missions across 36 levels.  Listed features for Operation Warfare include:

Immersion Mode
After shooting various immersion points through each map, players are warped into the environment, putting the player
directly behind the steering wheel of a jeep, in the cockpit of a military jet and other intense situations.

Retro VR Feel
With over 10 hours of gameplay, Operation Warcade brings the rush of nostalgic arcade-style play to gamers in an all-new experience built from the ground up specifically for VR platforms.

Operation Warcade VRHardcore Mode
Once players have mastered the art of taking dudes out repeatedly, they can go gung-ho in hardcore mode, where each environment is condensed into a single level with a limited number of retries.

Online Leaderboards
Players can compare their kills to others through an online leaderboard to see who’s the biggest bad ass of them all.

“We have fond memories of making trips to the arcade to spend coins for hours of fun, and we love having that feeling again with Operation Warcade” Commented Mickey Torode, Director of Publishing at Perp Games. “VR’s ability to fully transport you, like you’re standing in front of a classic arcade machine, is fantastic – and it goes even further, letting you literally step into the machine.”

VRFocus will bring you more news about upcoming PlayStation VR titles very soon.

Competition: Celebrate The PlayStation VR Launch of Operation Warcade By Winning It

If you’re familiar with the usual weekly ‘run’ of content on VRFocus you might be a little surprised to find a competition here on a Wednesday. Over the last couple of months, we’ve been pretty regular in having a prize draw giveaway for codes every Friday. Giving you the chance to acquire virtual reality (VR) videogame codes for everything from PlayStation VR to Gear VR titles. In fact, at the time of writing we still have a couple of days left on our last one, for a couple of EU PSVR codes for Time Carnage.

Operation Warcade screenshotBut I’ve got good news, there’s still going to be a Friday competition. This week we’ve got an extra one, courtesy of the good folks at Ivanovich Games.  They are the developers behind Operation Warcade VR, a title that takes the spirit of a classic arcade favourite and gives it a VR twist.

Operation Warcade VR looks to invoke memories of classic wartime shooters, the Operation Wolf‘s of the world. Where you stood in front of an arcade cabinet with nothing but a swivel-mounted representation of an uzi with an extra button to pop a grenade off every now and then to lay waste to an enemy force. You’re a one-man-army. Nothing can stop you. Operation Warcade VR has six levels full of bullets, explosions and arcade nostalgia. Alternatively you can take on the trials of Immersive Mode, which contains over 100 missions. The team even added a Half-Life 2-style gravity gun to proceedings, allowing you to do things like rip military drones out of the sky.

“Operation Warcade is my childhood dream.” CEO and Founder of Ivanovich Games, Ivan Cascales explained in an announcement last month. “A declaration of love to the golden age of the arcades. An injection of nostalgia that, thanks to VR, we can relive in unparalleled conditions from 30 years ago.”

Operation Warcade VR

To celebrate the title’s anticipated launch onto the PlayStation VR we’ve teamed up with Ivanovich Games to give you the chance to win four codes for the title. The codes are for the European region – so you’ll need a EU PlayStation account in order to claim and play them.  All you need to do to enter is use the Gleam widget below and interact with our social media accounts in some way. You’ll receive a draw entry for being a follower of us on Twitter, one (or another one) for being a subscriber to us on YouTube, or by visiting our Facebook page. Regular readers will know we’ve recently added our Instagram account to the mix and if you visit that you’ll gain not one but two entries for the draw. Of course, if you then follow the account while you’re there, that’d be pretty swell from our point of view.

The competition is open for around a week. Starting today, April 11th, 2018, and will end at midnight UK time, the beginning of April 18th. Winners will be drawn and contacted after that period. Best of luck to all!

Operation Warcade VR kommt am 11. April 2018 für PSVR

Ende letzten Jahres erschien der Arcade-Shooter Operation Warcade VR auf Steam für PC-Brillen, nun steht der Sprung auf PlayStation VR an. Laut Entwickler soll es bereits am 11. April 2018 für die Sony-Brille erscheinen, eine Retail-Fassung ist für das 2. Quartal in diesem Jahr geplant. Der Shooter im 80er-Jahre-Retro-Look bietet klassische Arcade-Action und eine Übersetzung in die virtuelle Realität.

Operation Warcade für PSVR

Operation Warcade VR bringt Arcade-Feeling der 80er Jahre in die virtuelle Realität: Mit verschiedenen Waffen erledigt man Gegner und zerlegt Fahrzeuge, Boote und Fluggeräte. Dabei stehen zwei Modi zur Verfügung: Spieler können an einer Arcade-Maschine daddeln oder den immersiven Modus benutzen. In diesem schießt man beispielsweise aus einem fahrenden Militärfahrzeug, von einem Kanonenboot aus oder springt an Bord eines Hubschraubers. Ganze 108 Missionen bietet der VR-Modus, sodass man einige Zeit beschäftigt sein sollte.

Chris hatte Operation Warcade VR in der Fassung für die Oculus Rift angespielt und viel Spaß mit dem Action-Titel gehabt. Auch die Bewertungen auf Steam sind sehr positiv, sodass sich PSVR-Besitzer auf die Veröffentlichung freuen können. Die haben die Entwickler für den 11. April 2018 angekündigt, im 2. Quartal soll dann eine Retail-Fassung folgen. Die Steam-Version für die Oculus Rift, HTC Vive und Windows Mixed Reality Headsets schlägt mit 20 Euro kein großes Loch in die Geldbörse. Ein Preis für Operation Warcade VR für PlayStation VR ist noch nicht bekannt.
