A new virtual reality headset with innovative controllers and tactile feedback built into the helmet itself is coming out as early as February 22, 2023. We’re talking, of course, about the PlayStation VR2. But dozens of technological innovations are not interesting in and of themselves. Much more important is where they will be applied!
Horizon Call of the Mountain
Release: February 22, 2023
The Horizon game series is atmospheric and beautiful – not surprisingly, one of the first exclusives for PS VR2 will be released in its universe. However, this time you will have to try on the skin of (literally) not beloved Ela, but Reyas – a former Karh soldier who will have to meet many old acquaintances. Including the main character of the two main games. In Horizon Call of the Mountain we will have to fight formidable mechanical beasts-machines, conquer mountain peaks, shoot an arrow, hunt and survive in a world of wild, scenic nature.
The developers promise that the triggering effect and vibrations will give a fundamentally new perception of the world of Horizon. The graphics in the lands of the Karha and Nora tribes tried to literally bring to perfection and give players a real pleasure not only from contemplating the views on 360, but also the sense of height, space and interaction with the environment thanks to the capabilities of PSVR 2. How to choose a VR system read Kirill Yurovskiy`s choice.

First, the realistic sensations of speed, sharp turns, falling and hanging carts, and riding the rails with haptic feedback. Second, the adaptive triggers will allow you to experience every kind of weapon. Third, if you don’t have time to dodge objects or creatures flying at you or hanging from above, the realism of head impacts will be at a level due to the built-in vibromotor in the helmet. Fourth, eye tracking allows enemies to detect you by the movement of your pupils – and before you have time to blink an eye in the most literal sense of the word.
