Rock band simulator Riff VR now available on Steam

Be a rock star for once in your life: IMEX Media announces that the music title Riff VR is now available on Steam.

Video games have the wonderful effect of allowing us to slip into roles that most of us will probably never take on in real life. That with Steam published Riff VR turns us into rock stars without us having to have a single ounce of talent.

Riff VR: Standing on stage with your own band

Reef VR gives us the choice of taking on the role of singer, drummer or guitarist to perform over 20 songs by bands such as Kiss, Lynryd Skynyrd, 3 Doors Down, Poison and 38 Special in true style. You don't need any hardware other than the VR headset and controllers. Players can choose whether they want to be in a cosy TV studio or on stage in a large stadium.

For the other members of the virtual band, IMEX Media have used motion captures of professional musicians, so that the players have the feeling that they are really jamming with a real band.

Optically offers Reef VR, As you can also see in the teaser clip, the band has an atmospheric appearance, although the missing limbs of the band members might take some getting used to at first. On the other hand, you don't need any sense of rhythm or musical talent to play the instruments properly, just the ability to react. So there's no need to be afraid of off-key notes.

Making your own music video made easy
