Apex Legend developers create virtual reality medal game for Oculus

Can VR games recreate the excitement of traditional flat screen first person shooter games? The developers are certainly giving it a go, with the Respawn studio working on a virtual reality game entry in the Medal of Honor franchise.

Respawn is the origin of the success of Titanfall and Apex Legends, free software. The studio is currently working on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order for PC and consoles. We had heard of an unidentified VR project in 2017, but it is only now that we have heard of the franchise that Respawn was introducing into the virtual world.

You can check out the trailer for Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond below, with the WWII framework, fast-paced shooter games and pans, as well as great sets. ladder to incorporate into the game.

Announced at the Oculus Connect 6 conference this week, seemingly exclusively for Oculus headsets, it appears that an Oculus spokesperson called the game a "humble example of what we can do for games, for gamers." and for our vision of history itself. "

The Respawn name is highly recommended for the project, as is the Medal of Honor franchise, which covers several major entries since the first Medal of Honor game in 1999.

Although the franchise does not have the same appeal as, say, Call of Duty of Battlefield today, we are eager to see what Respawn does with the property, especially when VR commands still do not have the precision of traditional console controllers. or a mouse and keyboard.

If the team manages to do for FPS VR what it did for the battle royale genre with Apex Legends, however, it could become a must-have VR game for Oculus headsets.
