The Climb
Crytek's virtual-reality climbing game The Climb is out today on Oculus Rift, and you can get a sense of what to expect from it via a launch trailer. You might not be able to experience the immersive feeling you'd get with a headset on, but you can see how players need to be keenly aware of their surroundings while looking for handholds and other ways to reach new heights.
The trailer also shows off the game's third environment, canyon, which is based on the Grand Canyon. Players can also take a virtual tour of the Alps and an Asian-inspired bay.
To learn more about how Crytek is able to deliver realistic environments while maintaining the frame rate necessary for VR, take a look at this developer diary.
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.
