Take the SPD and cope with it

Capcom has begun location checks for a brand new digital actuality expertise set throughout the world of its flagship preventing franchise, Road Fighter. The Road Fighter VR: The Shadaloo Enhancement Undertaking is at the moment out there to play within the Capcom retailer at Hiroshima Plaza in Hiroshima, Japan.

The brief expertise permits gamers to step as much as the plate towards long-time poster boy Ryu and Russian wrestler Zangief in first-person fight, with sound and visuals operating on the identical engine used for Road Fighter V. The idea sees the participant take the position of a lowly Shadaloo grunt, coaching towards two of the World Warriors that they might encounter because the evil group makes an attempt its takeover of the free world. Yeah… That’s precisely who I wish to play in VR: A anonymous, no one, Shadaloo trainee.

Using PC VR {hardware}, gamers should block assaults and counter with punches and particular strikes, impacting sure areas on the opponent whereas their guard is down. A brief video not solely demonstrates a participant throwing out an iconic Hadoken projectile, but in addition sees the hapless protagonist caught in Zangief’s Spinning Pile Driver, which I can solely assume is a VR expertise more likely to exhibit the technological energy of your individual abdomen.

“Cease taking part in when you really feel sick or really feel one thing is improper together with your physique.” reads the warning. Certainly.

The demo ends with hints that additional characters — equivalent to Akuma and Shadaloo chief Bison himself — can be added to the sport in future updates. Capcom has not introduced any plans to carry Road Fighter VR: The Shadaloo Enhancement Undertaking to western areas, however I might not be shocked if it at the very least confirmed up at one of many cubicles on the huge summer season expos equivalent to E3 or Summer time Recreation Fest.
