That’s what you get when a good VR developer is a fan of the Sonic world. Guy by the Youtube name of Nimso Ny created a Sonic game completely from scratch, and now he is releasing it to the public.
As Sonic VR is not an official release by Sega, it won’t be completely identical to original. The most obvious difference is the point of view. Instead of 2D, Nymso made it 3D….
If you know Sonic, you are aware of his love for speed. Speed doesn’t really translate well to VR. Surprisingly, when I played it, I didn’t feel as much Oculus Rift motion sickness as I expected. After all, there is a lot of jumping and running around as if you are in a rollercoaster.
Speaking of Oculus Rift, it supports that and HTC Vive. As I am writing this article, it may not be available to Vive players, but as developers has mentioned, it’s coming to SteamVR shortly after.
This game is available for free right now, should you wish to get it. It’s absolutely free. I do have some concerns with copyright, so I am not sure how long it will be up. But as far as I know, he has created Mario Bros game before, and it’s up to this very day. Hopefully, Sonic VR doesn’t go anywhere either.
