Enhanced features for PSVR2 including foveated rendering and haptic feedback
CM Games and Fast Travel Games have announced that the PSVR2 version of Into The Radius will include a number of enhanced features optimized for Sony’s new headset. The developers have confirmed the game will run at a native 90FPS using the PS5’s power along with PSVR2’s integrated eye-tracking for foveated rendering.
This updates only the area focused on by the player’s gaze for around a 20% increase in graphical fidelity. The PSVR2’s new Sense controllers will also allow players to feel weapon recoil and impacts through haptic feedback in the triggers and headset.
With over 3,000 haptic triggers in the headset, players will now experience survival in Into The Radius more immersively than ever before. So, if you are searching for some single player VR games, then you should definitely consider playing it. Spatial 3D audio will also provide players with a more enveloping soundscape, crucial for hearing anomalies and enemies approach. Together, these new PSVR2 features are expected to push physical immersion to another level for Into The Radius.
A survival shooter experience that challenges your tactics and resource management
Into The Radius is more than just a VR shooter – it’s a tense survival experience that will challenge players tactically and truly test their resource management skills. Players will need to carefully search the irradiated landscape of the Radius for supplies, cleaning and maintaining the approximately 12 firearms available will real-world firearm mechanics.
With each shot risks weapon damage requiring repair parts that are scarce. And with over 50 types of anomalies populating the zone, stealthily avoiding detection will be crucial to long-term survival more often than blindly fighting. Over 20 hours of gameplay across story missions awaits those fit enough to endure the relentlessness of the Radius anomaly.
The intense post-apocalyptic atmosphere of Into The Radius
One of the highlights praised about Into The Radius is the disturbing and genuinely unsettling atmosphere it creates within the fallen wasteland. Developer CM Games has painstakingly created a dreary and desolate environment immersed in a constant shroud of radiation fog.
Environmental details depict the isolation and despair of what came before, as ancient Soviet military bases now lay dormant. Players must contend with not just anomalies and enemies, but also their own deteriorating sanity being subjected to the Radius’ maddening effects.
The intense hyper-realism achieved through its physical interactions and 3D audio makes the post-apocalyptic environment a constant threatening presence. This atmosphere of loneliness and uncertainty is what gives Into The Radius its compelling narrative edge over other survival shooters in VR.
Compatibility and availability for other VR platforms and PC
While this announcement focused primarily on the upcoming PlayStation VR2 version, Into The Radius remains available on other major VR platforms as well. The game can already be played on SteamVR for PC VR headsets since its initial 2020 launch.
