Once upon a time, there was the first pong game. A quick Google search reports that time to be November 29, 1972. Coming this winter VR will finally have its first ski, snowboard and wingsuit game in Powder VR.
Pick from one of six mountains and heli-ski down it. This leap of faith jump from a helicopter onto the fresh powder below will get your heart racing. You then race slalom style of shred freestyle going for time or tricks in your exploration of the picturesque mountainscapes. Powder VR is the best way to channel your inner adrenaline junkie as you reach speeds of 100+mph and launch off 50ft cliffs. Once unlocked, the jetpack gives you never seen before levels of snow induced flight. You can explore around 60 courses of beautiful landscapes, and towns with secrets yet to be revealed.
It comes with two gameplay modes – arcade and simulation styles to match your preferred way to shred the mountain. Adjustable comfort settings make the game fun for all levels of VR player.
In the words of UploadVR “Powder VR gives you an enormous mountain range to claim as your own. It’s chock full of massive drops, steep slopes and plenty of chances to show off your skills.”
One YouTube commenter observed “If there was ever a game to play with a fan in front of you, this is it.”
This much anticipated single player game will be available on early access on Steam in December. The full release is anticipated in Feb/Mar – around the time the winter Olympics come to a close. HTC Vive, Valve Index, Window Mixed Reality and Oculus Rift are all supported.
