Months after its initial release in December, we were finally able to play with Crytek's latest project in virtual reality.

As a disabled person, these types of projects are really interesting.

Did the Alps stage faithfully recreate the sewage problem? I suppose that's another thing VR has going for it.

If you're doing ANY climb, it takes a massive amount of guts to 'Jump' (It's called a Dyno for all the non-climbers) for a hold. People are going to crap themselves when they fall haha.

Well... why isn't there a video clip of what you were seeing in the game?? We don't need more screenshots.

Crytek found their calling.

Completely agree.

One of my first VR experiences was in the Rift demo, where you're standing on top of a building ledge. I forced myself to gingerly step off the edge...and in doing so, actually, physically, stepped off the rubber mat under my feet. It was maybe a half-inch thick, but in the nanosecond before my foot found the floor, I *knew* I was going to die.

That was also the moment I knew VR was going to work.

And I'm terrified to try the Climb!

how about the framerate ? I just got Crytek 3 on the PS3, for 4$ I tought I couldn't go wrong, the game is unplayable it's freaking 10fps when you move

they need to have bonus content of fantasy realm climbs, like Mt. Doom or the Lonely Mountain from LOTR; or what about the Fabled Mountain climb from "The Citadel" ?

XB1 controller seems like it would be very sub-par to any proper VR controller game play.
