VR News: Feb 6 – Small Group Teams to Replace Zuckerberg & New PS4 Boost Mode!
75Cheers Guys!
News starts with a VR Arcade Cabinet from Koei-Tecmo the Devs behind Dynasty Warriors.
After this, a programmer at Ubisoft Paris is working on an Internal Project that is a Room Escape game but in the Assassin’s Creed universe.
Next up, the PS4 Pro has a new Boost Mode which will allow for frame rate improvements in older pre PS4 Pro patched games.
We then talk about controllers and how they maybe should have factored in to a story in VR.
Lastly, a misleading article about Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook and we end with a VR News story!
