Battlezone-reboot slippes til Oculus Rift

Den britiske utvikleren Rebellion kan fortelle at deres kommende reboot av Battlezone (et Atari-spill fra 80-tallet) skal utrustes med Oculus Rift-støtte. Slippdatoen er foreløpig ukjent, men det skal slippes til PC og Playstation 4 i løpet av 2016.

Her er noen høytidlige uttalelser fra studioet grunnleggere Jason og Chris Kingsley i forbindelse med annonseringen:

"The Battlezone arcade machine was an inspiration not just for my brother and me, but for a whole generation of developers. When Facebook kicked off their VR segment of the F8 conference, the original 1980 Battlezone was the game they opened with - it's that important in gaming history.

We've come a huge way since then, but the development community needs to work together to help make VR a success, and Oculus are definitely playing their part. The technology, the hardware, it's finally all there - and make no mistake it's game experiences that are going to take VR headsets to the mainstream, not film or TV."
