Loading Human - PS4

With the first wave of PSVR titles developers are, to a large degree, still trying to figure out what types of games work best in virtual reality. One game type seems like an obvious - if not necessarily easy - route to go down. The boom in narrative-led, emotive games seems like a great pairing with the immersion of VR, and developer Untold Games is looking to lead the charge.

This first chapter of Loading Human serves up a slice of interstellar intrigue and action. Your dying father, a highly-regarded scientist, has summoned you to his Antarctic base to implore you to undertake a dangerous quest in the depths of space: if you can retrieve the Quintessence, a mysterious power source, you might just be able to save him from death itself...

The game is controlled using two PlayStation Move controllers. Players can use them to move their character, Prometheus, through the environment, to perform context-specific actions and to handle things in the environment. Much of the gameplay, in the grand adventure game tradition, revolves around exploring the environment and figuring out how you can use it to solve the puzzles you're presented with.

With a dying father and a love interest in the mix, Untold Games is looking to serve up the first really emotional experience on PSVR. more
