Thomas Was Alone Dev Building 'Zelda Inspired' Prototype Oculus Title

VRFocus - Indie developer Mike Bithell is currently working on a prototype of a possible new videogame using the Oculus Rift virtual reality (VR) headset. Bithell has spent the past weekend working on a new design idea that is ‘inspired by Zelda mechanics’, which came to him last week. Since then the developer has provided a few updates on the project’s progress, including a very early screenshot which can be seen below. It is not currently clear if the project might ever see a full release.

Thomas Was Alone was a great title, I really enjoyed it, my missis came into the room this one time whilst I was playing it "what are you playing?", "Thomas Was Alone", "but your a square?" "yeahhh I know, it's great"

I wonder if there would be any copyright infridgment according to law if someone decided to create a game with the title LEGEND OF ZELDA, followed by really small print "inspired game".

That's fine. GT7 would overshadow it anyway at it has open wheel and regular cars.

Should have been spending their time updating Squadrons with better resolution, frame rate, haptics, etc as there isn't a game like that on PS VR 2 yet.

But it's EA. They don't think.

Babadook7352d ago

I agree. It would sell better on PSVR2 right now.

Knushwood Butt352d ago (Edited 352d ago )

A wasted opportunity, but I don't buy EA / Codemasters stuff anyway. Grid Legends just came out on Plus and I haven't touched it. Why would I when I have GT7 and PSVR2?

Abnor_Mal352d ago

Not into F1 racing, but still a missed opportunity.

ApocalypseShadow352d ago

That's where opportunity presents itself that they could offer something else that other developers haven't offered yet. Yeah. There's No Man's Sky. But a space game with a story would be great. Like the old days with Colony Wars.

Abnor_Mal352d ago

Exactly, they could have possibly lured more players just from the inclusion of a vr mode.

I miss Colony wars and G-Police, Low-Fi I hope will scratch that itch when it releases. We also need a vr War/Starhawk game.

Knushwood Butt352d ago

Just watched the trailer of Low-Fi. Most definitely on my radar.

Although I never owned an oculus, I played the demo for this at an electronics store. Pretty impressive in an early goings of VR title.
