It’s a slow week in VR, but that doesn’t mean nothing’s going on.
Yesterday, we found out that Disney is going all-in on VR. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, Disneyland Resort’s Star Wars-themed area, is getting its own VR experience with the help of Oculus Labs and ILMxLAB, the immersive and augmented reality side of Lucasfilm. They plan to create an all-new VR experience that takes players on a brand new adventure.
Called Star Wars: Tales From the Galaxy’s Edge, it will be set between the events of Return of the Jedi and Rise of Skywalker. It’ll have both new and familiar characters, and take place on Planet Batuu in the outskirts of Black Spire Outpost–the same place as where Galaxy’s Edge is at Disney.
You can read more about it in our earlier coverage on the topic here.
The big release in VR this week is Hotel R’n’R from Wolf & Wood Interactive. They call this game a “rockstar simulator,” and it’s not hard to see why.
Hotel R’n’R starts with you, a failed and recently deceased rockstar, meeting the Devil to sell your soul for one more world tour. You sign your afterlife away and then are resurrected for one last hurrah, which of course leads you to check in to a hotel after your latest successful gig.
You have 36 weapons at your disposal, including hot glue, cattle prods, C4 plastic explosives, submachine guns, and even a wet fish. Your objective is to destroy everything and piss off management so badly that you’re never invited to come back–the mark of a true rockstar.
Available for both PlayStation VR, Oculus, and Steam, you can pick up Hotel R’n’R for the reasonable price of just $19.99. Sure, it’s mostly just a physics simulator, but who wouldn’t want to throw their TV into a pool and then blow up a banquet hall with C4?
