On August 1st, 2017, Uber Entertainment will be launching their new PlayStation VR title, Dino Frontier, which will be available to purchase directly from the PlayStation online Store priced at $30.
For a teaser of what you can expect from the new virtual reality game from the creators of Wayward Sky, check out the gameplay trailer below.
We announced Dino Frontier last December at PlayStation Experience. Since then, PlayStation gamers played updated demos at GDC in March and E3 in June. Now it’s ready for gamers across the globe. It’s been a thrilling ride and we couldn’t be more excited. We’ve strived to push the boundaries of VR interaction. There’s no other game like Dino Frontier. Reaching down into a vibrant world to pick up tiny people is a magical experience.
Dino Frontier lets you build and manage a frontier settlement in a world where the Wild West and Jurassic collide. You assume the role of Big Mayor overlooking your settlement in tabletop-scale VR. You’ll be directing Settlers to harvest food, chop lumber, train dinosaurs, and more!
Gameplay and Features
Dino Frontier offers a unique blend of city-building and resource management, set in a fantastical world where dinosaurs roam the Wild West. As the Big Mayor, players will have a god-like perspective, allowing them to interact with the game world in a highly immersive way. The game leverages the capabilities of PlayStation VR to create an experience that is both visually stunning and deeply engaging.
Players will need to balance the needs of their settlers, ensuring they have enough food, shelter, and resources to thrive. The game introduces various types of dinosaurs, each with its own unique abilities and characteristics. For example, some dinosaurs can be trained to help with tasks like transporting goods or defending the settlement from threats. This adds an extra layer of strategy, as players must decide how best to utilize their prehistoric companions.
Development and Community Reception
The development of Dino Frontier has been a journey of innovation and community engagement. Since its announcement at PlayStation Experience, the game has undergone several updates and improvements based on feedback from players who tested the demos at GDC and E3. This iterative process has helped Uber Entertainment fine-tune the gameplay mechanics and ensure a polished final product.
The community reception has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the game’s unique concept and the seamless integration of VR technology. The ability to physically interact with the game world, picking up and moving settlers and dinosaurs, has been highlighted as a particularly magical aspect of the game. This level of interaction sets Dino Frontier apart from other VR titles, offering a fresh and captivating experience.
