Developers Perilous Orbit and Cherry Pop Games announced today that it will be releasing their critically acclaimed billiards simulation, Pool Nation VR, for Sony’s PlayStation VR platform this October. Previously only available on the HTC Vive VR platform, Pool Nation VR for PlayStation VR, the upcoming virtual reality headset for PlayStation 4, will feature exciting content that players loved on PC – including traditional pool and darts – while also adding support for eight player multiplayer hangouts.
“Playing pool in VR feels just like breaking balls in real life, you get to look around the table, line-up your shot with just the right angle as you would in your local pool hall,” said Richard Kidd, CEO from Perilous Orbit. “Our two development teams together deliver years of experience with video game physics necessary for a great pool game and proven talent in the virtual reality space.
Together we are creating the most immersive pool experience with consistent updates and features to keep the game fresh.”
Pool Nation VR demonstrates more than just amazing pool physics in a VR space. Players will be able to interact with all sorts of objects, create trickshots with plates, bottles and other items in the pool hall, play virtual darts, and take part in the time-honored pastime of throwing empty beer bottles against the wall. With the most advanced proprietary physics engine honed for billiards realism, Pool Nation VR aims to deliver an interactive VR billiards experience and the most chill VR hangout.
Pool Nation VR Gameplay Features:
•Play Real Pool – Delight your senses with an immersive and accurate representation of the sport using motion control and real pool physics (be careful not to lean on the table, it’s not really there).
