About The Game

From the creators of Metro 2033, Metro: Last Light, and Metro Redux comes a new vision of the apocalypse. ARKTIKA.1 is a highly immersive, action-packed, first-person shooter designed exclusively for Oculus Touch. Nearly a century in the future, the world has fallen into a new ice age in the aftermath of a silent apocalypse. Only the equatorial regions are still habitable, yet pockets of humanity survive in small numbers all over the planet, hanging onto existence in the resource-rich territories to the north and south--resources that everyone wants to control... Protect the colony in the wastelands of old Russia from raiders, marauders, and strange creatures. Be the savior. Give humanity a second chance.

Using the newest version of the 4A Engine, ARKTIKA.1 delivers the most impressive visuals ever seen in VR, along with the immersion and world building that 4A Games is known for, in a full AAA package. Experience a post-apocalyptic vision of the future like never before; in full VR.

The locomotion method gives me pause, but the gunplay looks satisfying. Hopefully this ends up good.

What the heck is going on in this shot

Is there some sort of portal they are looking through on the left side of the screen?

Looks like an energy shield in the left hand and a Gun in the right. (Think Space Pirate Trainer)

 

[UrbanRats]

Looks pretty sleek.

All the previews and trailers look great for this game. 4A is really great at building worlds so I hope this pays off in VR.

 

[Plasma]

Looks really polished and teleporting in VR has never bothered me it just makes shooters feel like the old lightgun arcade games. I've got it preordered so I'll definitely give it a go tomorrow.

Haha. I was like "what are they talking about?" and then I saw it. Nice catch .

Edit: Does this have teleportation for movement method? If not, it's a no go for me. I can't play any games with smooth locomotion without immediate nausea .
