And there isn’t a damn thing wrong with that. Gravity was an entertaining, visually spectacular movie, and the concept of playing as a lone survivor floating adrift in space makes for what appears will be a deeply immersive “first-person experience” video game powered by Unreal Engine 4.
Made by Three One Zero, Adr1ft is scheduled for lift off this September for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, with support for “all major Virtual Reality (VR) platforms upon hardware release.” Obviously that includes Oculus Rift, but it’s unclear if support will also extend to Sony’s Project Morpheus and whatever Xbox One VR tech Microsoft cooks up. I’m sure we’ll be finding out next week at E3 2015.
Watch the new E3 trailer below, scored to Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” as performed by Brian Bell of Weezer.
