While it’s being billed as a way for fans to “immerse themselves in the NFL Metaverse,” from the trailer, the game looked more like 3D training software draped in the uniforms of NFL teams rather than a true football game.

Titled “NFL Pro Era,” the game is scheduled for a fall 2022 release. As the quarterback, the player selects plays and reads defenses before attempting to push the ball down the field against an onrushing defense. The NFL’s first VR effort showed off a (seemingly sluggish) sim of players taking the role of Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. The disparity highlights the much smaller potential audience for VR as the technology aims to secure a larger share of the gaming market. While Meta’s sales of the Oculus Quest 2 nearly doubled in 2021 with 8.7 million headsets sold, smartphone sales alone topped 1.3 billion last year.

The VR version will, of course, require a VR headset to play.

“Among Us” previously rose to popularity in part because both the mobile and PC versions were easy to download and play on widely owned platforms. Whether games between family and friends are as easy to orchestrate in VR will be the big question for the murder mystery game. The trailer leaned into the tension of knowing there’s an impostor stalking crewmates (who also have visible hands in the VR mode). The VR version will put players into a 3D rendering of the game’s environments and require them to perform their assigned tasks - alongside the requisite murders and accusations - in a more involved fashion than in the current PC and mobile versions. Schell Games, the maker of “I Expect You To Die 2” and “Until You Fall,” is handling the VR port of the beloved indie title from original developer InnerSloth. Teased at December’s Game Awards, “Among Us VR” is set to arrive by the end of 2022.

Wednesday’s live-streamed event demonstrated both the potential and some of the limitations of virtual reality compared to other gaming platforms, particularly around the presentation’s two most notable game announcements. However, she said the hardware and software behind it “need more work” and suggested a timeline of between five and 10 years to develop. Oculus Studios Executive Producer Ruth Bram, who delivered the prerecorded presentation, noted that gaming fueled much of Meta’s vision for the metaverse. “VR gaming keeps getting better, and we’re bringing even more great games to our platforms by supporting developers so they can help make the metaverse a reality.

“Gaming is how a lot of people are going to step into the metaverse for the first time,” Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Meta, said in a news release. The Quest 2 VR headset and gaming have both served as focal points for Facebook’s transition into a “ metaverse company,” as the company, now called Meta, aims to craft the next version of the Internet. The latest rumours say it could launch in January 2023, so that might be a busy time in the VR space.Amid a host of sequels and expansions for existing virtual reality titles, a port of the popular social mystery game “Among Us” and the NFL’s first attempt to bring football to VR stood out during Meta’s Wednesday showcase of new games coming to the Quest 2 headset. And a see-through mode will let you use front cameras to see your surroundings without taking the headset off, so you can find your controller, say – think of it as like talk through or ambient aware mode on a pair of noise-cancelling headphones, but for visuals, rather than audio.Īpple is rumoured to be working on a VR headset of its own. So you could glance down to the left to reload your weapon, for example. New eye tracking also lets you carry out certain actions just by looking. Or during a tense part of the action, your headset will throb along with the character's pulse. The headset vibrates thanks to haptic feedback, so if you get shot in the game, a vibration will let you know about it. Look one way and it'll be reflected in the game without needing an external camera. PSVR2 also promises improved tracking of both your head and your controller, courtesy of cameras embedded in the VR headset.
