I’ve all the time needed to play Duck Season. I’ve heard it described because the Pony Island of digital actuality – a cute VR Duck Hunt clone that unfurls into one thing much more sinister. Unfortunately, as a consequence of my lack of future-tech headgear I’ve not had the possibility to play it. Duck Season PC is a model of the game re-worked by Stress Level Zero for the mouse and keyboard crowd, and it launched at present. While I can’t see it being fairly as intense a trip stripped of a few of its extra immersive components, I’m nonetheless glad to see this model out, and at finances value. See the launch trailer beneath.
Duck Season is a type of nightmare situations that simply bounce round youngsters’s heads continuously. That jerk canine in Duck Hunt that laughs at you once you miss? What if you happen to may shoot him. What if he didn’t prefer it. What if he REALLY didn’t prefer it. Dave Irwin requested the world if they’d played Duck Season back in May, and referred to as it the game that made VR ‘click’ for him. It’s kid-friendly horror. Goosebumps, however immersive – one thing I’d wish to see extra of in VR. I’ve heard good issues concerning the new Five Nights At Freddy’s VR game too, which additionally matches the invoice.
Here’s an extended take a look at the game, direct from the builders. Stress Level Zero are additionally engaged on the very spectacular Boneworks, which seems prefer it’ll be an important showcase of Valve’s new finger-tracking Index controllers. Have a take a look at them testing the {hardware} and tormenting some NPCs within the title of physics demonstration here.
Unless Valve or HTC resolve to ship me a shock bundle any time quickly, I doubt I’ll be attending to mess around with something in VR this 12 months. More of those cut-down re-releases till I can scrape collectively the cash and house for my very own setup. Maybe there’ll be a wi-fi add-on for the Index by then.
Duck Season PC is out now on Steam for £6.47/€8.99/8.99. The model for the flowery space-goggles crowd is available here for £14.99/€19.99/$19.99
