Sprint Vector

“There’s very little to dislike in Sprint Vector. Sure there will be times when that competitive edge over takes you, getting annoyed when you fudge a jump but that’s to be expected. The single-player has enough to get you started with a few hours of gameplay, yet it’s the multiplayer that’ll have you coming back for more. Here’s hoping that Sprint Vector draws in enough of a crowd to sustain it, rather than becoming another multiplayer focused experience that gets forgotten about. Which would be a shame, because from where VRFocus is standing Sprint Vector is another hit for the studio.” – Read VRFocus’ Senior Staff Writer Peter Graham’s review of Sprint Vector here.

Arizona Sunshine

“Arizona Sunshine is by no means a masterpiece, however it is a significant step closer to the VR experiences that early adopters know the technology is capable of. Hesitating to innovate too much, Arizona Sunshine cleverly picks-and-chooses from the key mechanics that have proven to work in four years of PC VR development and brings them to PlayStation 4 feeling almost new. Vertigo Games has created a hugely enjoyable FPS videogame for the early days of VR, but one which will undoubtedly look dated in just a few months.” – Read VRFocus’ Editor Kevin Joyce’s review of Arizona Sunshine on PlayStation VR here.

Oculus Go Dev Kit Images Show the Headset to Be Near Consumer-ready

Two images showing a seemingly consumer-ready box containing Oculus Go, the company’s upcoming standalone VR headset, found its way to Reddit and Twitter recently, possibly indicating that launch is right around the corner.

As first reported by TechRadarthe images appear to indicate that developers are now receiving the next big wave of dev kits. The first wave of Oculus Go dev kits cropped up at the end of November last year. Interesting to note: nowhere on the box do you see mention of ‘dev kit’, lending credence to the idea that this is the box you’ll see on store shelves soon.

The box art advertises a number of apps including Netflix, Facebook, Hulu, Fox Sports VR, The New York Times, and Discovery VR. Games and experiences include: Anshar 2, Ultrawings, RUSH, Ocean Rift, Jurassic World and The Body VR.

The box purports to launch with “1000 + apps, games, and movies,” a claim that can be made thanks to the fact that Oculus Go and Gear VR will essentially share the same content store, which has greatly matured since the consumer launch of Gear VR in November 2015.

The Oculus Go pictured above is apparently the 32 GB model, which we know is one of the two choices available. As seen in FCC filings, there will also be a 64 GB version.

Oculus Go is still officially slated to launch “early 2018” starting at $200.
