Co-op
I only have some limited experience with the other headsets than the PSVR, so the threat of this happening might not apply to them. Either way it’s on my mind every time I boot up my PSVR, and Resident Evil 7 in VR is ALREADY terrifying.
Oh also, my current favorite VR game is The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners which really surprised the heck out of me. It nails a lot of things, but mostly it is immensely satisfying to grab a walker by the head with one hand and stab them with the other. I feel properly trained for the impending zombie apocalypse!
How creepy!
This isn’t the first time someone’s made a creepy comic, but it’s the first one (that I know of) that incorporates the creepiness of having someone (or something) near you while you have a Virtual Reality headset on, and not knowing that they’re there.
That second panel still gives me goosebumps.
The scary part isn’t even that there might be someone – or SOMETHING for that matter – standing behind you. It’s that it might stand right in front of you. Imagine taking off your headset after a session and staring straight into another face.
That’s a very good point! That’s why I exclusively play VR games which involves a lot of flailing. Hopefully I’ll fend off the intruder simply by playing a normal Beat Saber run.
