Looking to "redefine one of gaming's most popular genres" Force Field has announced </b>Landfall</b> - an Oculus Rift bound RTS title "re-imagined for the new VR vantage point".
Already expected to be released around the end of next year, the Oculus Studios branded strategy title currently leaves a lot to the imagination when it comes to showcasing how the game controls from a virtual reality standpoint. Details are scarce, yet the trailer below talks us through the general concept of the title as a whole.
Landfall employs a routine story-line of humanity fighting each other for the last scraps of resources following a cataclysmic disaster.
While you can certainly notice the smooth camera movements achieved with in-game head tracking with the Oculus Rift headset, the studio explains how the "
immersive tactical action game takes advantage of the 'diorama' effect made possible in VR". You'll go from hovering above the battlefield to jumping into first-person view when the battle needs a little more attention.
