Virtual Reality has added a fresh and potentially revolutionary adaption to how people play and consume games. Due to the release of Batman Arkham VR and the much acclaimed Resident Evil 7 we have recent examples of legendary franchises adapting to the challenge of VR creation. Consequentially the idea of having truly immersive game play is a reasonable expectation for the future. Since I’m an old school gamer, meaning my first console was a ColecoVision (yes I’m ancient, moving on), I love reboots. In addition I have a soft heart for the classics. Here is a list of the best of all time that would be amazing given a virtual reality redesign.
5. Myst
As a gaming dinosaur, I can still recall the fresh and amazing feeling of the world of Myst. The world of Myst holds a unique charm for me because it was an introduction to what we now know as the open world sandbox. This design schema is what made the original Grand Theft Auto such a hit. This science fiction puzzle based epic seems to be a perfect adaptation for a virtual reality redesign. The most trying aspect of virtual reality experience creation is in keeping participants from being ill because VR sickness is real and hurts. Myst is a slow paced mover which is why it would be perfect to adapt players to an experience that can be overwhelming. Myst is the idea virtual reality starter kit for those who still need to be indoctrinated.
