Papo & Yo Developer’s Dinosaur VR Game Arrives Next Week
Way back at GDC 2014, the same week that Oculus first announced its second developer kit, we had our first chance to check out a VR game about swimming with dinosaurs. Minority Media’s Time Machine VR was one of the experiences that helped get us excited about virtual reality. It now has a release date.
Time Machine VR will be out on May 19 for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, priced at $29.99. It features approximately 10 hours of single-player with a story written by Jill Murray (Assassin’s Creed III, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag).
The game puts players in a submersible time machine that starts off as a research mission in the past. However, a catastrophe in the present makes the mission in prehistory more urgent.
You can play it now in early access in the Oculus Store and on Steam for $19.99 ($10 less than release pricing) if you’re eager to dive in now. You can read our past coverage for more information.
Our Take
Back in 2014, Time Machine VR was already one of the most comfortable experiences we had time with. I’m looking forward to seeing how far things have come in two years.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
