The Walking Dead
practical reality is slowly but sure as shooting expand into gaming , and Survios ' later games , The Walking Dead : OnslaughtandBattlewake , are proof that VR still has a future tense in this industriousness . Last year , Survios showcasedCreed : Rise to Gloryat E3 , invigorate by Warner Bros. ' recentCreedfilms , but this year , they determine to move away from the sports arena and into fancy and skill fiction with their upcoming zombi and pirate - theme titles .
Based on AMC’sThe walk DeadTV serial ( rather than Skybound ’s comics),The Walking Dead : Onslaughtdrops participant into the walker - infested world and allow them to live out their zombie spirit - kill dreams as Rick , Carol , Michonne , or Daryl . Since it ’s an officially licensed game , this might be the close experience people will have to live through AMC ’s post - apocalyptic universe .

In a brief mitt - on demo at E3 2019 , Screen Rant was able-bodied to test out various aspects ofOnslaught , including the game ’s many artillery , which include a machete , handgun , violation rifle , shotgun , and even Negan ’s burred - conducting wire bat Lucille . actor will find themselves switching between practically all those weapons in ordination to defeat the legion of walker they find . Of course , fritter away a weapon will draw more walkers , and a stray bullet train might cause an explosion if the player hit a fuel canister . That ’s hunky-dory because the best part ofThe Walking Dead : Onslaughtis its combat .
Getting user to experience the action up close and personal is at the heart of what build VR game special , and that concept is very much plain inThe Walking Dead : Onslaught . Survios ' liquid motivity works wonderfully ( which is done by make down the A and Y buttons and sway your arms to move ahead ) , but the most intriguing scene is the combat organization . In addition to the gore and unadulterated massacre , Onslaughtwas developed with dynamic taking apart in idea . That means players can hack off a Zimmer ’s branch using a machete like to how Michonne does , or transfix them , in which case they would react accordingly . you’re able to even carve your name into a walker ’s organic structure if you require to , which highlights Survios ' " gore mesh " .
for sure , killing zombies is n’t anything young in game , and there are n’t too many ways players can go about doing that . However , what does exchange inThe walk Dead : Onslaughtis what happens to the walkers . zombi typically fall and die in most game ( not just in VR ) , but inOnslaught , a player ’s machete can get stuck in the walker if they happen upon at a specific angle or with enough force . footer can be completely dismembered , carve into , and destroy using any and all weapons . Players can even grab a hold of and campaign away walkers if they get too penny-pinching . All of this is done to heighten the intensity of Survios ' raw zombie game - and it ’s great , to an extent .
A fate of the pitfall experienced in many VR games are washed away inThe Walking Dead : Onslaught , which appears to rule all of what made Survios ' previous game gravid . Flimsy aiming and glitchy controls are kept to a minimum , even at this stage in growth . weapon system truth , movement , and melee combat have been refine to be , on the face of it , as good as they can be . But one of the aspects ofThe Walking Dead : Onslaughtthat may frustrate players is being mystify in berth . Not being able-bodied to move and blast at the same time using the locomotion arrangement , especially when being overrun by a horde of walkers , could result in death .
Battlewake
WhileThe Walking Dead : Onslaughtappears to be a windup of everything that makes Survios ' biz unique , Battlewakethrows all of that out the window and give VR fancier an exciting pirate dangerous undertaking to play through . However , that adventure is done by stand still and using only a few control in the end . It ’s not about being the hero of a story but rather using the ship ’s crew and abilities to stamp down the seas and become a pirate legend . In that wish , Battlewakeexcels at being undeniably fun .
Battlewake ’s artistry dash has more in common withSea of Thievesthan it does with Ubisoft ’s upcomingSkull & Bonesgame , but unlike both of those titles , you do n’t need to vex about which direction the wind is blow or how tight your ship can move so that you may escape the enemy . A scheme is involve , sure , but your goal as the player is to defeat the enemy at any cost - whether that ’s in PvE or PvP ( there should be both mode at release ) .
Ultimately , it feels like Survios made a pirate - themed game modeled after push back - by shooting ( though , thankfully , only in construct ) . You always have one manus on the bicycle so you may continue to steer the ship away from rocks , island , and foe battery , while using the other deal to shoot at the foe ships or creatures . Then , if you find yourself in the line of fire or needing to turn quickly , you’re able to drop the anchorman and essentially drift the ship . ( Imagine : Johnny Depp ’s tactical manoeuvre in Pirates of the Caribbean 5 . ) tramp a ship and take out a honcho with a barrage of cannon shots is surely satisfying , but perhaps one of the big component of theBattlewakeis unleashing the Kraken - one of Pirate Lords ' exceptional ability - which completely annihilates everything in its vicinity .
Although our demo in the main showcasedBattlewake ’s fundamental gameplay - driving the ship ( which uses a fluid motive power system of rules to debar score player seasick ) , taking out enemies , using the Pirate Lord ’s ultimate power , and so forth - Survios ' plan forBattlewakeas a whole is root in customization . Every part of the ship has different weapons that can be upgraded , for representative . The destination is to check that players can become the greatest Pirate Lord they can be , and to have an arsenal at their electric pig to make it bump . If you ’ve wanted to act as Sea of Thieves in VR , but without worry about the little detail , thenBattlewakeis for you .
