Montreal-based video game studio Minority Media is betting virtual reality will be the future of gaming with their upcoming title, Time Machine, an unconventional first-person VR adventure set in the year 2070 that also features dinosaurs.
VRFocus - It is a busy time for the video game industry as a whole, with the console market looking to get its second wind of this generation with half an eye on the generation afterwards if rumours are to be believed. Major studios are re-evaluating their position within the market as a whole and, of course, virtual reality is about to hit full force with both the Oculus Rift and Valve-backed HTC Vive on the horizon.
Canadian developer Minority has today revealed that not only will they be attending this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Los Angeles, next month, but in addition they will be offering hands-on demos with their virtual reality (VR) project, Time Machine, utilising Oculus VR’s latest head-mounted display (HMD) protoype: Crescent Bay.
Minority has turned Rift into a time machine, allowing players to leap back into the distant past and examine prehistoric creatures firsthand.
