Exciting new features give the Moss brand a fresh look and feel on PlayStation VR2 – PlayStation.Blog
Earlier this year, we welcomed players back to the world of Moss with the release of Moss: Book II. The award-winning sequel—the VR Awards “VR Game of the Year” winner and The Game Awards “Best VR/AR Game” nominee—adds a fan-favorite franchise by picking right where the story of Moss ended almost four years ago. Today, we’re excited to share that both Moss and Moss: Book II represent the top two launch titles for PlayStation VR2 when it releases in February 2023. We have a lot to share. I will share with you about the enhanced versions of the game, but we will keep the lore details to ourselves so as not to spoil it for anyone.
Similar to when Moss released on PS VR in 2018, Moss: Book II was met with a positive reception, quickly rising in the ranks to match Moss as one of the top rated VR games. the highest of all time. And while the story continues in the same world, the look and overall experience in Moss: Book II is significantly enhanced compared to its predecessor. This is to be expected, as we continue to learn and leverage evolving technology throughout development to help us optimize the game player’s experience going forward.
Now that we’ve got our hands on PS VR2 hardware, we’ve experimented and discovered new ways to draw players deeper into the world of Moss as they take on the first role of Reader, Hero Quill’s main ally. Fortunately, the platform’s dual-controller setup, enhanced haptic feedback, improved visuals, and eye-tracking capabilities mitigated the limitations that previous hardware placed on our team. . And as we said before when we bring our games to new platforms, we don’t just want to get them up and running on PS VR2 and call it a day, we make time for all aspects of the game. edge of the game, across graphics and gameplay, with the ultimate goal of a truly unique and memorable experience.
Here are a few ways we leveraged PS VR2 hardware to enhance the overall first-person immersive experience of players in the Moss franchise:
- improved haptics: Players can now feel the effects of world-shaking events, damaging attacks, and movement around the world. The
- Set up two controllers: Playing with two PS VR2 Sense controllers feels natural, allowing players to express themselves more freely in the world when reaching out to control the environment, interact with Quill, or participate in Weapon inventory system in battle.
- adaptive activation: Players will feel different actions as they experience the tension and weight of virtual objects while grasping and moving them in the world. Shatterable pots and pans will now react to the amount of force applied, breaking apart when they are pressed enough to overcome the resistance of the trigger.
- eye tracking: Interactive objects now emit a subtle glow when viewed. This allows the player to quickly spot interactive objects during puzzles and throughout the game. Eye tracking also tells Quill where the player is looking so she can make suggestions if she spots something in front of them.
- Dimmed display and increased field of view: Moss and Moss: Book II runs at 90fps at 4K (2000×2040 per eye), even with lighting and texture improvements. That, along with the wider field of view, gives players a deeper sense of immersion.
Overall, the PS VR2 hardware makes it easier for us to transport real players and immerse them in a fascinating world with breathtaking environments, rich storytelling, and battle and level designs. elevation level. All together, we believe it creates an experience you can’t find anywhere else. And in just a few short months, millions of new and existing fans will be experiencing these enhanced versions of Moss and Moss: Book II on the latest VR hardware.
