Rez Infinite - VR With Mom - 42nd Street New Year Ball
2Rez Infinite is this week's VR With Mom, giving us indigestion and fun dancing.
Rez Infinite info: Rez Infinite is a port of Rez for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR. It includes support for 1080p resolutions and 3D audio sound. In addition, Rez Infinite features a new level called "Area X". Although the game is intended for VR play, a PSVR is not mandatory and Rez Infinite can be played without the device.[19] Tetsuya Mizuguchi, the producer for the original Rez, lead the development of the title under his new studio, Enhance Games, effectively a one-man studio with outsourcing of some programming and art development as to avoid issues that Mizuguchi had faced at Q Entertainment. Mizuguchi had left Q Entertainment some years prior after becoming dissastified with the company, and spent the intervening time teaching and working on small mobile and music games. He opted to return to gaming after seeing the potential for virtual reality, creating Enhance Games to redevelop Rez for VR gaming. Development of Rez Infinite was aided by Monstars and localized by 8-4
Reception: Rez Infinite received widespread acclaim from critics. Review aggregate Metacritic assigned the game a score of 89 out of 100, based on 44 reviews, making Rez Infinite the highest rated PSVR game on the site. The game received unanimous praise for its immersion, sense of place, visual and sound design, and its new level Area X. Despite the age of its previous iterations, many reviewers considered it to be the finest PSVR title to date, and an essential game for anyone owning the device. Martin Robinson of Eurogamer called the game a "modern masterpiece", and Alexa Ray Corriea of GameSpot considered it to be "a new classic". Lucas Sullivan of GamesRadar thought that the game "achieves its full potential with PSVR", while Edge summarized "Rez Infinite is 15 years old, and the best VR game of 2016."
Reviewers praised the choice to remake the game in VR, and agreed that the game was best played in PSVR. Corriea praised the remastering of the visuals noting that "[hazy backgrounds] have been replaced with updated, crystal clear pieces of the cyberworld." Vince Ingenito of IGN thought that the use of VR "elevates [the game] dramatically", and Dominic Leighton of The Sixth Axis commented that the game "looks, and feels, like an experience tailored solely to the format". Ingenito lauded the game's control systems, noting that the aiming via head tracking in VR was "amazingly intuitive". Edge thought that the game was played best with head tracking whilst standing up, but cautioned "if you're a head-nodding dancer, perhaps invest in a neck brace." Robinson thought that in VR, the game gives "a sense of presence and ceaseless motion unlike anything else out there."
The gameplay was well-received, though opinions differed on its length. Ingenito thought the game was "surprisingly deep despite its relatively simple gameplay". Chris Carter of Destructoid thought the game was unique and "challenging as well on higher difficulties", but Leighton considered the game to be "relatively easy". The game's bosses were praised; Corriea considered them to be "most complex and challenging sections" of the game, and Carter thought they were "worth replaying multiple times." Infinite's new level, Area X, was widely considered to be one of the best parts of the game. Robinson considered the level to be "something else entirely",[39] while Edge called the level "astonishing". Sullivan noted that the game's run time "will be a stumbling block for some", but still considered the game to be a "must-buy". Similarly Carter and Corriea thought the game was essential, but were left pining for more.
