WOAH. Terrible name but beautiful concept art.

EDIT: Oh it's VR

 

[Turkoop]

Hopefully on Morpheus too
Artworks look sick !

 

[Auctopus]

Dinosaurs are the new zombies.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

RAWR.
Im always down for the Dinos

 

[u_neek]

Exactly what I want from a VR title. Assuming that it's VR.

Edit: ... of course it is!

Sounds interesting enough. Which VR family will it be playable with though?

 

[Blablurn]

That looks awesome

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

Crytek are going to have o try real hard to get me to like this game after last year's shenanigans, so let's see what comes of this...

 

[Vuze]

Intriguing concept art and appealing setting. VR as well. Count me in

 

[eFKac]

Interesting. Seems like a good obvious idea for VR.

Platforms known?

 

[valkillmore]

Morpheus tho?

 

[dramatis]

This is vaguely intriguing. I wonder if there will be a trailer to follow up on the press release.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Jesus, what's going on with these games with awful names at the moment?! Robinson: The Journey is a fucking terrible name.

 

[Neuromancer]

You had me at Crytek, dinosaurs and VR.

 

[UberLevi]

Jurassic Moon.

 

[Fury451]

WOAH. Terrible name but beautiful concept art.

EDIT: Oh it's VR

My exact reaction. So exact it's scary haha.

I assume the name is homage to Swiss Family Robinson?

 

[Com_Raven]

We haven't announced the platforms for the game yet.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Has a Interstellar meets Jurassic Park vibe

 

[Turkoop]

CRYTEK IS BACK GUYS

 

[Zakalwe]

Love the art. Excited about VR.

Nice.

 

[Durante]

Now that is something which will play to Crytek's strengths.

Can't wait!

We haven't announced the platform for the game yet.

"Platform" as in singular? Don't do that shit :/

 

[KingSnake]

This seems like the ideal kind of game for VR. Let's see how it's going to be.

 

[JimmyRustler]

VR? Meh...

 

[Rymuth]

Dinosaurs are the new zombies.

And not a moment too soon

 

[kuppy]

Guess that's what they had in mind with Back to Dinosaur Island.

 

[Dreamwriter]

Exclusive to Google Cardboard!

 

[Arafo]

mmmmm... so it's Back to Dinosaur Island

[Xater]

Neither the site, nor the press release mentions a platform. I could see this showing up at Sony today.

 

[KingSnake]

We haven't announced the platform for the game yet.

Oh, the platform. Singular. Not another VR exclusive, come on!

This VR thing is already going places with all the exclusives.

 

[Jb]

It sounds like a Disneyland ride. Which I guess is sort of the point

 

[KORNdoggy]

morpheus hopefully. and oculus ect of course. hopefully not one of these VR headset exclusives :/

they're not even out and i feel like they're fucking up any chance of this kicking off in a big way. and by "they" i mean the guys making games exclusively for specific headsets.

 

[Nikodemos]

Does it have any relation to Robinson's Requiem?

 

[dark10x]

Wooo, lots of interesting VR games showing up.

Now I just want to try final hardware. I adore using the DK2 but, man, I can't stand wearing it for more than 15 minutes at a time. Plus I still run into issues with lenses fogging (improved by stuffing micro fiber cloth around the lenses but not perfect) and the fact that playing it in a warm environment is so uncomfortable.

 

[KooopaKid]

VR is a perfect match for those graphics heavy studios.

It sounds like a Disneyland ride. Which I guess is sort of the point

This is what VR is going to be about in the short-mid term.

 

[ps3ud0]

Man exclusive VR-headset games are a pain to see - why is it a thing?!?

ps3ud0 8)

 

[Dreamwriter]

Don't forget there's now a new platform, StarVR, that has such a different setup than the other guys it begs for exclusives

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Looks good, hope it's not exclusive to anything.

 

[Zakalwe]

We haven't announced the platform for the game yet.

Oh, singular?

Crytek please!

 

[Graphics Horse]

Lost in Space?

 

[mcz117chief]

I have a VERY VERY bad feeling about this. This will probably turn out to be another Robinson's Requiem, a game where you play the biggest hypochondriac in the galaxy. Oh, the horrible memories...

But maybe it will have nothing to do with it...

 

[PerezDeCorcho]

Is it the cool thing to act like VR is bad now?

Absolutely baffles me.

"No, I don't want the amazing immersion!"

 

[gofreak]

Sounds compelling for sure. Why so little detail though?

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

"Platform" as in singular? Don't do that shit :/

Seriously. I think publishers are getting a little ahead of themself. They should be happy when all VR plattforms combined make up a market big enough to make a profit.
That some are already announcing VR-plattform exclusive titles is beyond ridiculous to me, and I think it could hurt VR as a whole.

 

[UnrealEck]

What's the framerate target typically for VR? Is it some sort of interpolation on Morpheus using 60 FPS? I'm wondering because Crytek are known for their cutting-edge graphics.

 

[Mask]

Neat. Though I saw the name and thought it was going to be like a VR version of that old Amiga game, Robinson's Requiem.

 

[PJV3]

Oh, the platform. Singular. Not another VR exclusive, come on!

This VR thing is already going places with all the exclusives.

It's making me hesitant to dive in, I was thinking of getting Morpheus day 1 but I think I might hold off for a while.

 

[legacyzero]

Sounds compelling for sure. Why so little detail though?

Probably a tease, aiming to be shown later today
