Skyfront VR Promises Nausea-Free Zero-G Multiplayer

Levity Play has announced thats its multiplayer first-person shooter, Skyfront VR, will release on Steam Early Access on November 10, 2017. Levity is marketing Skyfront VR as the first Zero-G Multiplayer shooter in virtual reality that won’t make you sick in actual reality. A noble endeavor!

No Need to Bring Barf Bags

Having personally just taken the step into the world of VR, I purchased an Oculus Rift over the weekend, I can say with first-hand experience that nausea can be a part of virtual reality. The combination of fast-moving controls, especially in a Zero-G environment, will definitely impact most gamers’ stomachs.

Levity Play plans to address these concerns in the following way:

Skyfront VR boasts unique locomotion mechanics that help to centre players and provide them with a more comfortable gameplay experience. Movement is handled by moving one’s hands, translating to 1:1 movement in this virtual, zero-gravity space. By forcing players to consciously guide their in-game movements with their physical body, this eliminates the sensory conflict that often occurs when movement is dictated by a joystick.

TL;DR Games has put in a request for an early look at Skyfront VR and we’re hoping to fill you on whether or not these mechanics hold true to their intent.

Features

Apart from a barf-free experience, Skyfront VR will aim to include the following features during its early access period, with more to follow in the full game:

• A fully functioning online multiplayer setting
• 2 zero-gravity battle arenas
• 2 game types – Deathmatch & Team Deathmatch
• 5 different weapons + 1 Locomotion Device
• 5 special abilities for strategic use
• Bot Shootout

Skyfront VR will be available on Steam Early Access on November 10, 2017. For more information, head over to their official website.
