Smart-mouthed, mayhem-prone anti-hero Deadpool made a virtual reality debut on Wednesday in a \"Marvel Powers United\" game being tailored for Oculus Rift gear. <\/p>\n
Developer Sanzaru Games collaborated with Marvel on the virtual version based on the comic character, which was a smash in an eponymous film released last year. <\/p>\n
The \"fast-talking, butt-kicking Merc with a Mouth\" joins Captain Marvel, Hulk and Rocket Raccoon in a game that lets players become superheroes fighting together against super-villains. <\/p>\n
Game fans will get their first shot at Deadpoolin the Oculus VR game debut this week at Comic-Con in Southern California. <\/p>\n
More characters are expected to be added to \"Marvel Powers United\" by the time it is released next year. The price has yet to be announced. <\/p>\n
\"Crack wise and crack skulls as you wield katanas and hand cannon pistols because why bring a knife to a gunfight when you can have both?\" a fact sheet for the game reasons. <\/p>\n
Players wearing Rift headsets use Touch controllers to whip semi-automatic pistols or Desert Eagle hand-cannons from holsters and blast adversaries, prompting trademark wise cracks from their \"Deadpool\" persona, an advance test of the game revealed. <\/p>\n
Katanas, the traditional Japanese swords, are unsheathed by reaching back over one's shoulders, and shuriken, the sharp-edged, star-shaped weapons, are thrown rapid-fire with wrist flicks as Hulk smashes, Rocket Racoon opens fire from above and Captain Marvel obliterates bad guys with photon beams. <\/p>\n
The ability of Deadpool to heal quickly from almost any injury meanwhile provides an edge as waves of enemies strike. <\/p>\n
\"Marvel Powers United VR\" was touted as a first-person, multi-player game featuring explosive battles in settings from the Marvel universe. <\/p>\n
Zombies and mutants <\/p>\n
The alliance with Marvel represented a coup for game publisher Oculus Studios, which has been striving to build a library of compelling experiences that will get people to buy Rift's virtual reality gear. <\/p>\n
Rift and Touch controllers got a temporary price cut this month, bundled together at a discounted price of US$399 (RM1,710). <\/p>\n
Zombies from the television series The Walking Deadand other demons are coming to life for video game players in virtual worlds. <\/p>\n
Gamers will be climbing into colossal war machines to battle high-tech armies, wandering mutant-infested post-apocalyptic wastelands and going toe-to-toe with demons in new virtual reality offerings unveiled at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) last month. <\/p>\n
The number of E3 exhibitors involved with virtual or augmented realities more than doubled to 126 from 53 last year. <\/p>\n
Sony built on the array of games for its PlayStation VR gear, which works with top-selling PlayStation 4 consoles. <\/p>\n
Sony, HTC and Facebook-owned Oculus are the top players in virtual reality head gear, each striving to stake out territory in the budding market. <\/p>\n
While Sony's VR headsets work with PS 4 consoles, competing gear requires computers that can handle the demand of processing rich, immersive graphics in real time. AFP Relaxnews <\/p>\n
