Virtual reality has become more popular than ever, so it comes as no surprise that the online gaming industry has jumped on the bandwagon, developing powerful VR games. VR gaming has already made big waves, making for a new type of gaming experience in which players immerse themselves in a virtual 3D world just by wearing a headset.
Also known as immersive multimedia or computer-simulated reality, virtual reality replicates either a real-life or fantasy environment. Users wear a VR headset, such as the Oculus Rift and/or other equipment so that they can view and interact with the virtual world. This equipment gives users an astounding field of view: each eye has a 1080×1200 resolution, and the display has a 90 Hz refresh rate. Headphones sync to the helmet, meaning users get a 3D audio and visual effect unlike any other online gaming experience.
By now, players can access many different virtual reality games. Popular developers have joined the trend, developing their own VR games. Here’s just a short selection of the current best VR games, allowing players to experience an innovative and interactive gaming environment.
Gonzo’s Quest
Gonzo’s Quest by Net Entertainment has already become a big hit among online players, telling the story of a brave Spanish explorer in search of El Dorado’s riches. You’ll find yourself in the rainforest surrounded by jungles and exotic animals, and the adventurous making this as rewarding as it is entertaining.
Jack and the Beanstalk
Net Entertainment software does it again with this impressive 3D video game. Jack and the Beanstalk takes you into a fairy tale in a magical world above the clouds. This game offers many bonus features for players to enjoy. It’s a gorgeously immersive game, which every player has to see.
VR Roulette
When talking about the latest technology in online casino games, Microgaming software always comes up in the conversation. Needless to say, Microgaming’s VR Roulette gives players the chance to enjoy this 3D game – in all of its realistic glory. The developers first demoed this award-winning game to the public at ICE Totally Gaming 2016, and Microgaming created the game in cooperation with the Oculus Rift D Kit 2 and the Leap Motion 3D Controller. Using wearable tech, players stand right in front of all the action.
Blackjack Bailey VR
Blackjack Bailey VR gives players an immersive virtual blackjack experience, while a charismatic female croupier named Bailey deals the cards. Created by iCandy Games, the free app gives you access to an unlimited bank. There is also a Steam version of this game for the PC that players can purchase for around $10. Since you get unlimited chips with no need to purchase more, Blackjack Bailey VR makes a great choice for gamers who want to practice blackjack in a unique, state of the art, virtual reality setting.
I hope vr can go further into like fps and open world rpgs, rather than just the typical simulator
It could happen in the future.
This is a really cool thought, wonder if there are projects like this out there now
Definitely something to look forward. I wonder if already existing games will ever consider going to VR too.
I guess we have to wait and see what comes out.
That’ll be a lot of rework but some games would be so much better with it
Vr roulet nice nica want it
You should get it if you can then.
I’ve always want a vr set I might get one just to play some of these games.
same but i might have to wait for the price to drop a bit.
They sure are pricey.
Did you happen to get it ?
Soon this virtual reality will take over most simulations for schools and jobs. I’m sure many jobs would use this for training or prep
There are such simulations out there already and the amount of them are just going to increase.
If there is a vr set giveaway, Im very much interested! But it is too costly for me to buy those well built sets. 🙁
I am dreaming to get one too.
I think it would be wise for gaming companies to invest into the future in this field.
They do seem to be evolving, hopefully a lot more with passing time
