PlayStation VR2 enthusiasts can now mark their calendars for June 21st, as VR Skater is set to launch, offering a virtual reality skateboarding experience. Designed from the ground up for VR, the game promises the most authentic, challenging, and immersive skating game ever created.
VR Skater features innovative input mechanics, allowing players to move their hands in the same motions they would with their feet, providing a level of control and immersion never before seen in gaming. The game will guide players through mastering flip tricks, grab tricks, grinds, slides, and manuals, enabling them to carve out skating lines and combos during game runs, racking up points for high scores.
Players will have the opportunity to skate across seven stunning urban environments and the Mega Ramp, an iconic feature made famous by skateboarding legend Danny Way. The Mega Ramp allows players to catch air like never before, executing incredible flip tricks and huge grabs in a separate immersive experience.
The game will take full advantage of the PS VR2’s adaptive triggers, giving players the sensation of resistance they’d feel in a skateboard’s trucks and bushings in real life. The controls also replicate how real-life skate tricks would be performed, with players swiping and scooping their hands as if they were feet, performing iconic tricks like kickflips, tre flips, hardflips, and more.
Customization plays a significant role in VR Skater, with players able to personalize their boards and grip tape using the Print Tablet, a feature announced first on the PlayStation blog. Upon reaching a certain XP level, players can unlock the Print Tablet, allowing them to upload custom textures and arrange them as they desire.
To further customize their skateboarding experience, players can head to the VR Skater shop to find all new decks, trucks, wheels, and grip tapes, unlocking new colored options by completing challenges and leveling up in-game. This feature is sure to resonate with skate fans who value creativity and personalization in their gaming experiences.
VR Skater for PSVR2 combines the best of arcade and simulation gaming, offering an easy-to-learn but challenging-to-master experience. The excitement of landing a difficult trick in the game is truly incomparable, making it a must-try experience for virtual reality fans and skateboarding enthusiasts alike.
