SUPERHOT’S The time-pausing mechanic works so well in VR that it’s a surprise we haven’t seen more games use it to bring new and interesting things to life. Now, Omega Pilot developer XOCUS says it’s doing just that with the release of the Presentation of death, a story-driven VR adventure that feels like a mashup of SUPER HOT VR and archery In Death.
Like SUPER HOT, Presentation of Death time dilation system means enemy robots move when you move. The kicker: you have to draw your bow, which means you really have to be on your toes when enemy arrows come flying in when you want to return fire.
We won’t have to wait long to play either, as XOCUS says it’s releasing the game on SteamVR headsets on March 1, with the promise that it will eventually arrive on “all VR platforms.” When, XOCUS has not said. In the meantime, you can wishlist the game on Steam here.
Although it is basically similar SUPER HOT with archery, the trailer shows more than just the same fragile enemies, as there appear to be a few different enemy types, including a larger tank enemy and more flying types as well, which should increase the difficulty.
It’s a shame the Superhot team never got around to it SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETED DLC VR compatible, or pushing additional levels to the VR game, released in 2017 and still sits at the top of most VR platform charts. Still, we hope Presentation of death can scratch that itch, if only for old times sake.
