Virtual reality offers gamers a gaming experience that can only be matched. You don't just watch TV while your character slays hordes of monsters or explores fabulous locations, you do those things yourself. Now, Star Wars Pinball VR shows that virtual reality can breathe new life into traditional experiences as well. Star Wars Pinball VR is not only the best entry in the series, but it is already one of my favorite virtual reality games. Star Wars Pinball VR proves that you don't always have to fight Darth Vader or drive your X-Wing to have fun. The way Zen Studios is using VR to make something simple shine gives me hope that other developers can start doing the same. Hopefully, more VR projects can find more ways to enrich existing gaming experiences for gamers. Here's why I want this to happen.
In a galaxy not so far away
What makes Star Wars Pinball VR so great is that it does exactly what it sets out to do: create a huge Star Wars pinball game. The pinball tables feel more alive than anything video console pinball games have offered before. You get a real life perspective on the game mechanics, being able to pull the launcher and press the buttons. The lights and sounds make it seem like you're standing in front of a table, and more than once I've tried to lean on this damn thing only to practically fall over. Of course, there are some minor disappointments: only 6 of Zen Studios' previous XNUMX Star Wars tables have been adapted for this game, and the in-game menus could be made easier to better suit the new VR format, but nothing entirely. It doesn't matter when the machine is turned on. and start the game. Star Wars Pinball VR features a ``Fan Grotto,'' a space filled with Star Wars memorabilia, many of which will unlock as trophies as you play. My only wish is that I could spend more time in the room, perhaps while having a multiplayer pinball meeting or even watching a Star Wars movie surrounded by posters and sculptures of my favorite characters.New hope for virtual reality
I hope VR explores these opportunities further to enhance real life, as there are simple opportunities if developers want to take advantage of them. Following the same trend as the VR pinball machine, I'd like to see a virtual arcade filled with different cabinets. The sounds and lights of each and every arcade machine can take us back to the early days of gaming, but this time you won't have to stand in line to play this machine that everyone loves. With the seamless multiplayer mode, you and a partner can still possibly play side by side; both races for this high score at the same time. You can imagine a Lego VR game or you can build it and build it that you will have an infinite number of pieces in an even shape or color, or a table game or you can see the world from point of view coins. You can roll your dice by swinging your sword or alternatively flicking your wand for an auxiliary dip. You can do both with other VR gamers, where games take more advantage of the growing popularity of virtual hangouts and virtual reality.
