Here’s a brand new gameplay video featuring the new Guerilla Cambridge crafted sports mech shooter ‘Rigs: Mechanized Combat League‘ for the PS4 and Project Morpheus.

Guerilla Cambridge, a UK based offshoot of the enormously successful Guerilla Games codehouse (developers of the Killzone franchise), made a splash at E3 in LA back in June when they debuted a new multiplayer VR combat sports game which has players careering around an arena in huge Mechs, blasting the hell out of each other whilst trying to score ‘goals’. I had the chance to go hands-on with the title myself and was hugely impressed with the level of polish and playability demonstrated – making it one of my favourite Morpheus titles at E3.

Having followed and been disappointed by the original VR explosion of the 90s, he then founded RiftVR.com to follow the new and exciting prospect of the rebirth of VR in products like the Oculus Rift.

    How is the sense of presence with this game or Morpheus in general? Are there fleeting moments that you ‘feel’ as though you are in another space, or are some games better than others? Sadly, most of the reporting for Morpheus tends to repeat the same ideas, and this information is lacking. A deep dive into these VR technologies (without comparing them to one another) would be huge!
