Remember playing Laser Tag? Actually it has not been that long since I played Laster Tag, but I would have much rather been in a VR arena similar to this one in Russia that belongs to a company called Anvio VR. These guys are adapting their own technologies to turn a warehouse into a virtual battle arena. Very cool stuff to see. Sensors on the hands, feet, and head make it all possible along with a VR backpack.



Now if that is the future of VR multiplayer gaming, what is the present? I have spent a few hours this week inside of Pavlov VR which is available currently on Steam for $10, and it is likely the best $10 I have spend on a VR game in a good while. Pavlov VR, for lack of a better comparison is Counter Strike in VR. The developers added 5 vs 5 play a couple of months ago and it makes for a wicked fun shooter, sort of like Onward, but with a bit less sim, and a bit more arcade.

The video below is just a highlight video that I grabbed off Youtube, but it will surely give you the general gist as well.



I have been playing Pavlov VR while reviewing MSI’s VR ONE backpack which gives you a “wireless” experience. And one thing I can say with certainty is that “wireless” VR can not come soon enough as the level of freedom of movement it supplies you truly opens up the gameplay experience. In a way, the future is already here.
