Quell 4D (A real VR FPS) - VR Gameplay HTC Vive
Wow. A real game for VR... Who knew it could be done...
Not most developers unfortunately. Thankfully though Rubycone wasn't one of them and put together a very retro FPS that plays like one of the classics you grew up with. It really feels like we're living through the video game eras all over again only vastly accelerated.
Hopefully Quell 4D will do for VR what Doom 3D did for PC gaming.
The characters and voice acting remind me of StarFox on the SNES. Ahh the golden days...
Quell 4D manages to be both nostalgic and new at the same time. It's a perfect blend of concepts that worked then and introducing them to the tech of now. What we get is a great FPS title that proves we can have real games in VR.
Thank you Rubycone. Honestly and sincerely, thank you.
Carrot on a Stick Locomotion:
This is a new one for me and it worked out pretty well. It's similar to onward style motion but you're pressing a trigger to lock you into moving the direction you're controller is pointing. The difference is that Onward doesn't lock you down to moving just where the controller is pointing. You can sidestep without turning the controller. Aside from that, the locomotion systems were very similar and like Onward it becomes very natural.
Points taken off for not having locomotion options but overall it felt good.
Definitely worth picking up Quell 4D. One of the few gems worth its price tag.
