Hi rovianos, how are you?
What you are seing here is The Rift: U.R.I.D.I.S.
We had the chance to try it in Paris with its developers
A group of students of a 3D videogame and animation school in Paris
Very nice people, we had a few laughs with them
and they told us they were inspired by the great Starfox from N64
So it's a frenetic starship game
With tons of action, as we were told by its developers
And what could we say about what we experimented: Unity engine, very very smooth,
and indescriptible feeling of speed
I didn't get dizzy, unlike other spaceship games I have tried
Speaking about handling, the final version will support two ways of shooting
In one of them we will control the crosshair with the Oculus Rift for aiming and shooting
And the other that we tried: the crosshair is fixed
and the left stick controls the ship, using the right to fire cannon or missiles
and our head remains free to look wherever we want
You can aim pretty well, it's very well implemented
We hope they release a demo soon
so we can test it properly
What we have tested was in a very alpha status, they didn't stop repeating that
As a matter of fact, they were using some StarWars music so they must do some changes
So that was our small preview of The Rift: U.R.I.D.I.S.
Coming soon for the Oculus Rift and virtual reality. See you soon rovianos!
