Next year VR will get its first big Batman VR game, exclusively on Quest 3. We went hands-on with the game and found out what it’s like to be the brawler behind the mask.

The Arkham series is well known for its “freeflow combat,” where you’re able to freely attack in any direction at any time.

To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

Marvel Powers United VR is being brought back to life by dedicated fans after being shut down over three years ago. Launched back in 2018 as a Rift-exclusive, Marvel Powers United VR from Sanzaru Games ( Asgard's Wrath 2 ) heavily focused on multiplayer action.

During my demo session, I played an entire level of the game traversing the sewers of Gotham in search of a group of Police officers that have been taken hostage by the Rat King and his minions. This provided me with about 45 minutes of hands-on time in the upcoming title, so here are my thoughts.

Action Hero is a highly promising VR FPS that mixes Superhot with over-the-top action cinema, and we went hands-on. Here are our full impressions. 0:00 / 0:52 1× We've seen several variations across the years where in-game time moves slowly until you move, and I'd argue it's a gameplay mechanic naturally suited for VR's motion controls.

Just a few years back, if you had been told that by 2024, you would be able to have a conversation with a computer that would seem almost completely human , would you have believed it? So what do you think AI will be capable of in ten, twenty or even fifty years’ time? Of course, it’s impossible to predict for sure – but it seems a fairly safe bet that many things that seem entirely impossible today will be a part of everyday life.
