Sean @ FG: Adapting the content of the 1970's original, Colossal Cave reinvents a classic in a new dimension. The Finger Guns Review.
Colossal Cave launched for PC VR earlier this year. Now though, the game has launched on Xbox minus the VR.
I'm not sure why anyone would play this flat. It's got PS2 era graphics, and many times an enjoyable game in VR is actually just a mediocre game flat. It's the immersion of VR that gives those titles the extra something. An example, Alvo or any of the popular FPS shooters in VR, such as Zero Calibur or Contractors. Completely ordinary, actually generic shooters if they were released flat. It's the VR that elevates these games to something more special.
Was wondering why the article had PS5 tags, but I see that a PSVR2 version of the game is also in development.
Could be that interesting, I’ll keep an ear open if I hear anymore on the game.
Bringing the old text adventures to the modern gaming world, Colossal Cave finally releases on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S
"Sierra On-Line founders Ken and Roberta Williams, responsible for seminal titles including "King’s Quest", "Space Quest", and "Phantasmagoria", proudly welcomes "Colossal Cave", the ultimate 3D point and click adventure, to Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One Tuesday, March 28, 2023." - Cygnus Entertainment.
As I see it, the more people that get a chance to play the game on their preferred format, the better it is for everyone.
^ Agreed. For those of us fortunate enough to choose, there's a clear hierarchy in the options available.
