Where the six TechRadar players would have liked to have seen it be a little more ambitious however was in its environmental level design – for the most part, you’re funnelled from one arena-like shooting zone to another, with distant enemies to be picked off from afar, while you’re stood shooting from a cave ledge or moving cable car. Zero Latency VR’s weapon peripheral is responsive and accurate too (provided you’ve correctly entered your height, that is), letting you switch on the fly between a bullet-spewing, Rambo-aping machine gun and a more refined and accurate one-hit-kill crossbow. There’s even a hallucinogenic shootout in a mysterious cavern through which sea creatures float and pirates take potshots at you from the ceiling – a high point of the experience. Dive Into Insanity does a good job of recreating the visual feel of Far Cry’s third instalment – all lush tropical jungles, bandana-wearing pirates, rusty container sheds and exploding barrels. Chasing the highest score is far more of a novelty when side-by-side physically (read: virtually) with your pals. There’s more in common here with arcade staples like Time Crisis or House of the Dead than the free-roaming we’ve come to expect from Far Cry.Īnd yet in the context of a multiplayer shooter, that’s fine. Dive Into Insanity is very much a points-based, on-rails shooter.

The interlocking emergent systems of the Far Cry series are gone – there are no stealthy kills, no animal taming, no crafting and no open world. A far cry from Far Cryįar Cry VR: Dive Into Insanity itself is very straightforward however.

In terms of full motion and immersive movement, it’s about as good as VR gets. At Zero Latency you’ve got roughly the space of a tennis court to run around in, with the headset UI smartly warning when you’re approaching a real-world wall or another player. You’re then handed a pump-action gun peripheral (complete with motion trackers) and, after a short set up screen to confirm your height and name tag, thrust into the virtual reality world.įrom there you’re free to run around with relatively few restrictions – a really freeing experience for anyone sick of the confines of “room scale” play in a pokey flat or house. Each player is given an OSVR HD2K headset to wear, attached to a gaming laptop housed in a backpack and networked up wirelessly with your fellow players. For starters, you’re out of your bedroom or living room, and out in a warehouse-sized play space, hosted by a game master that will help get the experience set up.
#FAR CRY 6 RELEASE PC#
Though you may be familiar with PC VR, the Oculus Quest (opens in new tab) or PlayStation VR (opens in new tab), Zero Latency works a little bit differently. Returning to Far Cry 3’s Rook Island, you (and a gang of up to seven pals) find yourself captured by the villainous Vaas, and must work together to blast your way out of the pirate’s clutches.
