For eons we’ve wondered what it would be like to walk around in a bona fide Virtusphere, and during GDC final week you finally got our possibility. The large plastic enclosure can spin and roll in any citation, and once full with the wireless head-mounted arrangement as well as fake gun, we were ready to take on some polygonal visitor baddies. Getting into a enclosure is surprisingly easy, but unfortunately once we had the screen strapped to the head the well-honed sense of change was right out a window, and you found ourselves staggering around a bit as we got used to a motion of a cage. A genuine troops versions have a suit sensing gun controller, but you had to do all our aiming with our conduct, which didn’t assistance. After a notation or so we got used to a “momentum” concerned in relocating the cage, which felt pretty good, though we’d contend the the one preferred partial about the experience was only being able to spin in place to confront baddies — there’s something about the few well placed stairs which unequivocally blows divided the left or right yank upon the 360 controller’s analog hang. During a end of the day the perfect size, price, and ultra-dated graphics has us frequency pining for one of these in our living bedrooms, but with a bit more work upon the gaming end (and a working gun pointer) we could see this as a colonnade experience to kick.
