“It’s especially exciting for us, because there are so many people with PS VR systems who can now experience Obduction in it’s virtual reality glory. “When we launched the PlayStation version we were already hard at work on the PS VR version, but we’ve been working to make the experience as good as possible,” says studio founder and CEO Rand Miller in a PS blog post. The game, which we played initially when it came out for SteamVR-compatible headsets back in late 2016, offers around 10-15 hours of exploration and intensely difficult puzzles. Original article (05/04/18): The game is said to be the full version of Obduction including the bonus content that’s already on the non-VR PlayStation 4 version. A chief complaint of the PSVR version is also a noticeable downgrade in graphics, although it’s uncertain if the game would make better use of a PS4 Pro’s increased rendering ability. Update (05/08/18): The PSVR patch for Obduction is now available, which should automatically push an update to the PS4 game at some point today depending on your region.Įarly hands-ons with the PSVR integration have shown that the only locomotion option available is teleportation with click-turn (aka ‘comfort mode’). Obduction is worth the wait in our books, so PSVR owners will just need to hold on for a while longer.Obduction (2016), the VR puzzle adventure from Cyan, the studio behind the ’90s point-and-click classics Myst (1993) and Riven (1997), is finally making its way to PSVR today. Cyan didn’t give a release timeframe for that support but we’re hoping it’ll be before the end of the year. We’ve reached out to the studio to confirm that this is the reason for the delay.įear not, though, the VR support will be arriving as a free update at some point.
Porting games like Obduction that have already appeared on PC VR headsets like the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive means dealing with significantly less powerful hardware, and factors like visual fidelity usually suffer as a result. Our guess? Cyan is still trying to optimize the game for PSVR, which is something many developers struggle with. “But we were determined to build an amazing gaming experience that provided not just a satisfying experience for PS4 players, but something that felt like a full VR game instead of a small demo for PSVR players,” Miller said. Studio founder Rand Miller recently revealed as much on the PlayStation Blog, though he didn’t offer a specific reason as to why it wasn’t going to be ready in time. When Obduction hits the console on August 29th (just under three weeks from now), it won’t support PlayStation VR.
We already reported that Cyan’s popular adventure game, Obduction, would be launching on PS4 this month, but there’s been a slight stumble on the game’s VR support.
