It's called Lucky's Tale , and is being developed as part of a partnership deal between Playful and Oculus VR. Playful will be showing it at E3 next week. In the announcement, Bettner was enthusiastic about the opportunities of the virtual reality device."Virtual reality--I mean truly accurate, comfortable virtual reality--is the most important thing to happen to interactive entertainment in decades" said Bettner, who serves as Playful's CEO. "I know it sounds like exaggeration, but it’s impossible to explain what this is like to someone who hasn’t experienced it for themselves. Your brain is convinced that you are somewhere else, that you are in another world. I have worked my entire career to get to this moment, to create something like this."A second, unnamed game from Playful is an open world sandbox, and will be launching on Steam later this year.Oculus VR was recently acquired by Facebook for roughly $2 billion. Developers have remained fairly positive on the business move, though fans have generally been less pleased . A legal battle has been brewing as well, as ZeniMax Media has filed suit over a claim of stolen technology.
