As we await delivery of the print edition (hundreds of copies of which will be available for you to swipe from Develop:Brighton should you be so inclined) the digital version of MCV/DEVELOP #997 is ready for you to flick through right now!
The focus for this issue is virtual reality, or XR as it prefers to be called these days. Not only have we assembled a crack team of XR game movers and shakers, including the CEOs of nDreams, Resolution Games, CCP and XR Games, but we even sat down to watch The Lawnmower Man to get us in the mood. No of course we didn’t. It’s a terrible movie.
As well as insights into the past, present and future of XR gaming, bringing up the rear we have the making of Ghosts of Tabor, a VR take on the massively popular Escape from Tarkov.
Away from XR, Safe In Our World’s Bridie Daniels questions whether the industry needs to rethink its relationship with alcohol at events, Chrorus Worldwide and Dovetail Games are celebrating anniversaries and in the Final Boss chair sits Bonsai Collective’s Hollie Emery.
Enjoy the issue!
