VRFocus reports on the news that Sanzaru Games, the developer of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, is working on VR Sports Challenge for the Oculus Rift.
Travis Howe: "A long while back, a team was assembled to pitch a remaster of Jak & Daxter. I was asked to animate an IGC shot-for-shot, to show what this updated version would look like.
To be abundantly clear: this was NOT commissioned by Sony, nor did they have any involvement in our proposal -- this was essentially a fan pitch to try and gain their permission."
Developers have started reporting they have been laid off from the company.
Twisted Pixel was one of my favorite developers before they got bought by Oculus and went VR only. That run of 'splosion Man, Comic Jumper, Gunstringer, and Lococycle was legendary.
This stinks but they knew who they were getting in bed with when they took the bag of cash.
That's the reality.
When these dev studios allowed themselves to be purchased it was well documented what Facebook/ Meta were all about. I don't advocate anyone losing employment, but they knew who they were dealing with.
bummer about Sanzaru. Sony should have acquired them after Sly 4 but I guess sales weren't that good for that and there was no real incentives to buy back then and the series ended on a cliffhanger. I love Sly4. something was amiss in their effort to introduce their own ideas on the IP but I still love it regardless. a 7.5/10 for me and I was excited for the sequel that never came!
Zombie Army VR is creeping onto VR headsets later this month, and here's everything you need to know about Rebellion's latest.
