Rog: Minecraft VR is not really going to help you, sorry. I doubt it will deal with your crippling fear of heights, but anyone else watching you play will enjoy the spectacle. Repeat, each time adding ten or so more blocks (no one is counting). Now increase your tower block by ten blocks, get on top of it and jump again. Then build a tall, single block tower, ten blocks high or so, look down at your pool and jump into it. It’s a cool way of warming you up to a VR experience.Ĭristina: Is there a setting that will help me deal with my crippling fear of heights?ĭamian: Not really, the sense of height is quite real in Minecraft VR, but you never know this might help or test things for you… Start a game in Creative mode and create a 2x2 pool of water. So in Immersive Mode, you can be playing Minecraft on your couch at home, sitting on your couch in the game playing the game. It’s the full VR experience, and the one we expect 99% of players to use. Immersive Mode places the player firmly in their world, just as if they were looking through the eyes of the character they are playing with. So it’s just like playing Minecraft sitting on your couch at home, but instead, you’ve teleported your living room into Minecraft to sit on a couch there to play. However, if you play Minecraft on the TV in front of you, that image is 2D. If they look around the room with the PSVR headset on, then they see the Minecraft Living Room in 3D. Rog: I think the most challenging thing is to not fall over while playing the game, I get too immersed…Ĭristina: Can you explain the difference between Living Room mode and Immersive mode?ĭamian: Living Room Mode puts the player in a Minecraft living room as if they were playing Minecraft on a giant TV. Everything that you can do in Bedrock Minecraft on PS4 you can now experience in 3D on PSVR. We believe we’ve managed to achieve this and the end result is a fully-fledged version of Minecraft with no compromises. So much of our focus was around player comfort and making sure that the VR experience was as enjoyable as it could possibly be. It doesn’t matter how fun your game is, if you make people feel queasy when they play then it’s not a nice gaming experience. But why take my word for it when I’ve already pestered Executive Producer Rog Carpenter and Minecraft Console Producer Damian Finn for their take on Minecraft for PlayStation VR? Check out my totally non-intrusive interview below:Ĭristina: Was there a Minecraft feature that was particularly challenging to transition to VR?ĭamian: Our biggest challenge was ensuring player comfort when playing Minecraft in VR. Well, maybe a bit more terrifying in certain rissssssssssky situations, but on the other hand, the sunsets will soothe your soul in ways you’ve never imagined. If you have a hard time keeping your lunch down on rides of the car, boat, plane, or rollercoaster variety, make sure you start with shorter sessions, try different settings, and stop immediately if you feel woozy.Īside from that, Minecraft is the same game you know and love. As you may already know, not everyone can handle all types of VR. So aside from the incredibly immersive experience, what’s new? You’ll be able to choose between two VR modes – Immersive and Living Room – as well as tweak your VR settings for maximum comfort. No, surrounding yourself with a wall of screens like a comic book villain is not the same thing. Well, PlayStation minecrafters rejoice, because your beloved blocky game is now available in glorious VR! And that’s not all the good news – it will come as a free patch for the main game, so if you already have Minecraft on PlayStation, all you have to do is install the latest update! You’ll also need a PlayStation Camera and PlayStation VR headset, of course. What’s better than being in Minecraft? Being in Minecraft! Or at least tricking your brain into thinking it is.
