Some are short two-minute demos, others are hours-long investments. But there’s a catch: the Experts can’t see the bomb, so everyone will need. The other players are the Experts who must give the instructions to defuse the bomb by deciphering the information found in the Bomb Defusal Manual. If ever you wondered “Could a person really spend eight or more hours a day in virtual reality?” the answer is “Yes.” (Though I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it.)īut I’ve emerged from the warm embrace of the Matrix to handpick the fifteen experiences I’ve enjoyed best out of thirty or so total available at the Rift’s launch-ten games, five apps. In Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, one player is trapped in a room with a ticking time bomb they must defuse.
It’s a huge and diverse list, with experiences ranging from first-person point-and-clicks to third-person dungeon crawlers to real-time strategy games to space dogfighters and virtual tourism. I’ll just let this gameplay video do the talking.
But when it comes to splurging on a $600 peripheral-especially one that promises to transport you to virtual reality worlds-I’d wager that software is the more important part of the equation.Īs such, I’ve spent the past week trying out everything the Oculus Store’s “Rift Launch Lineup” offers. Below you’ll see a full walkthrough of a demo that gives you an idea of what you’re in for. After years of teasers and hardware iterations, the Oculus Rift VR headset launches today, and it’s a magical piece of hardware. Durch Kommunikation kann jedes Problem behoben werden - auer man steht vor einer Bombe, die gleich explodieren knnte.
