Studio ustwo became famous for its charming and in some way a brilliant puzzle game Monument Valley, released in 2014 for the iOS platform, and later migrated to Android and Windows Phone. The game has collected a whole heap of awards, including the Apple Design Award, which opened a small development team the door to the world of a serious gaming industry. It was not a secret to anyone that the studio is working on its next project. And finally, the game Land's End can download ... only the owners of the Samsung Gear VR.
Yes. The situation turned out to be quite unexpected, since the new project of the ustwo studio is available only to the owners of the virtual reality helmet Gear VR, developed by Samsung in cooperation with Oculus. Obviously, in the development of the game were invested by Samsung, as there is no other logical explanation for this exclusivity. After all, today almost any smartphone can be inserted into the analogue Gear VR bought in one popular Chinese Internet store and enjoy virtual beauty.
Nevertheless, the game Land's End really looks very impressive, given that it is launched on the smartphone. Personally, it reminded me of a mixture of the puzzle The Witness, and adventure Journey and RIME. The game is already available for everyone in the Oculus Store at a price of $ 7.99. Management in the game is realized only with the help of the player's head movements. To move through a fantastic world, you need to hold your gaze on one of the support points scattered over it, after which the camera will smoothly transfer you in this direction. Everything is extremely intuitive and, judging by the feedback of the first players, the game really makes a very strong impression on people in the good sense of the word.
The most surprising in this case is that the Gear VR for today exists only in the form of "test versions" that are compatible with Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. The final version of the headset at a price of 99 dollars is still available only for pre-order on the official website. The updated version of the gadget, in addition to the above-listed smartphones, except for Note 4, will also support S6 Edge + and Note 5. In general, the Korean company Samsung has seriously decided to capture the share of the mobile virtual reality market, until the other interested parties did this. Here is one of the commercials showing some games for Gear VR.
