Me, I don’t get the whole "play a game with a torture device on your head" thing, but if you do, you no longer need a PS4 to play Rhombus of Ruin. Starting right now you can play the game on the HTC Vive through Steam, and also through Oculus Home.
Here at Mojo, we’re waiting for Jennifer’s review, a mere year plus change later. ;
Some of the games are fun too of course (Arkham VR, Rhombus of Ruin and LA Noire: The VR Cases all really show what the technology can do at this point.
Though, I agree with Bill Gates when he said that Augmented and Virtual Reality together is the future, but we're not quite there yet.
I wish everyone would be able to experience this without paying through the nose for a VR set (and I totally get why it's a bummer that the first Psychonauts story in years is on such a limited set of devices). I suppose they could technically release it as a non-VR version one day, although you would actually lose a lot from the experience. Probably too much. The entire game is made for the experience of being this tiny little person looking around these giant, detailed Psychonauts environments. The sense of scale is actually important to the experience (especially as you get further into the story), and there's no way to completely translate that to a tv/pc screen. It would probably still be worth it for the die hard fans just to see the story unfold, but it would definitely be a lesser experience. Sadly, like their Kinect games, I think this is one DF game that will slowly disappear into history, with no real way to replay it in 10 years time.
But, still, really fun and funny experience. The finale alone is worth the price of admission.
