Gaming Corner- What's your game

Recommended Posts

Just saw a movie with a strong emphasis on VR and role playing.  Popular Japanese film called Belle.  Nice, especially for the music and Miyazaki-like beautiful world.

On Netflix I finished SAO, Sword Art Online- 4 seasons about a future world where VR is advanced and hugely popular.  The first season was especially good, about a massive VR game where players were trapped and could die. 

 

I assume VR, like the Oculus or should I say Meta(?) is still in its infancy.  It'll get lighter and more powerful and be a real boon for home bound and hospitalized individuals.   There's alot of potential in it.  It brings games to life but could go way beyond gaming. 

 

In the Belle movie they side stepped the whole 'wearing mask' aspect and it was simply headphones you put on and they were enough to interface directly w/ the brain to give and get lifelike imagery vs Ready Player One where you needed the helmet, suit and hanging cable system.

 

The SAO series touches on the use of VR for those who can't move.  Such uses are being improved now, and I assume will be widespread, even used for mundanities like shopping and chatting in a more 3D form.

You can look into pubg pc or call of duty for streaming. Fornite and Apex legends are also one of the most streaming games.

It's definitely getting better. Stuff like Beat Saber is incredible fun, while Swarm is like spiderman with machine guns. There's lots of sword fighting and boxing games on there too that are excellent, and in some cases provide a full workout.

 

But yes, the games are fairly unsophisticated, as they're developed by indie studios. There's nothing yet with the open world immersion of Witcher III or Skyrim.

 

Slowly though they're getting more major studios in to release big budget titles, like the new Iron Man game by Marvel. So that could change pretty quickly.

Lately been really caught up playing Binding of Isaac: Repentance. I can't get enough, followed by Tetris Effect: Connected, the Bayonetta trilogy, SMTV and Persona 5R, and Bloodborne.
