Update, 12 October 2019:<\/b> It is sometimes amazing how certain game ideas suddenly appear out of nowhere, sometimes even from big studios like Sony Pictures. One such example is \"Ground Hog Day: Like Father Like Son\", what we have already reported on<\/a>. From the US comedy \"Groundhog Day\" now follows 15 years later a funny puzzle adventure for virtual reality. But why actually? We were guests of Sony and the developers at Gamescom in August. In the meantime, we were able to test the game in detail.<\/p>\n

Caught in the time loop<\/h2>\n

The plot of the virtual cult film sequel is quickly told. In \"Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son\" you slip into the role of Phil Connors Jr, the son of weatherman Phil Connors from the cult comedy \"Groundhog Day\". He returns to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to get caught in a time loop just like his father once did. The players have to solve puzzles and explore the world shown in the film in order to break out of this loop.<\/p>\n

\"We're not currently making a new 'Gound Hog Day' movie,\" Jake Zim, senior vice president of Sony Pictures VR Group, tells VR ROOM. He says it's also about reintroducing classic IPs to a new target audience. \"It's our way of expanding the storyline into a new format,\" Zim said.<\/p>\n
