Alien: Descent - Xenos in the VR arcade

Am 26. April 2018 wird in der kalifornischen Stadt Orange (nahe Los Angeles) ein ziemlich aufwändiges VR-Spielhallen-Erlebnis starten. Dabei handelt es sich um „Alien: Decent“. Und natürlich wird man mit den Xenomorphs konfrontiert.

This is what it's all about: As soldiers, the players have to investigate the distress call from a mining colony belonging to the Weyland-Yutani corporation. There they encounter the dangerous aliens, including the Facehuggers. Due to the wireless technology used by the Pure Imagination Studios no cables or backpack PCs are required. The VR headsets take care of the rendering.

There are no specific details on the technology used, but full-body detection and environmental effects are offered. You also go into battle with dummy weapons. The movement sensors are attached to the legs and arms, while heat, cold, humidity and moving platforms are simulated. On the official side reservations are accepted. A ticket costs 22 US dollars.
