Boom time
Borderlands 2 was an incredibly fun sequel based on the charming artistic style and winning mood of the original 2009 Georgia I, and its move to virtual reality is just the latest AAA game to find a viable way to adapt to the requirements of PSVR, HTC Vive or Oculus hardware.
Joins the likes of Bethesda & # 39; s apostle or Fallout 4, both of which showed the possibilities of FPS action and open-world exploration in a virtual space. The difficult navigational problems of virtual reality have advanced a lot in recent years, even if the point-and-click teleportation mechanics used as an alternative solution can not match the smoothness of the normal console game.
Borderlands 2 VR is waiting for help with a new slow-motion feature called BAMF Time (if you can not say it) that will slow the action in the battle, which makes it easier to shoot the assailants with chainsaw.
We shuddered instinctively at the idea of navigating the game's weapon and sound menus with VR motion controls, but we're keeping an open mind for now.
