Other news: England Football Learning has introduced VR-based CPR training into its football medicine courses, using immersive stadium simulations with crowd noise and on-pitch distractions to help learners practise emergency response skills in more realistic conditions.
The Good Omens finale is… ok. Yeah.
Top story
Moss is also coming to flat screens.
What is happening? Both games from the VR series Moss are coming to more traditional consoles with both adventures combined. This brings the adventure off the VR-exclusive platforms for the first time
Why is this interesting? I see this as revenue maximisation after a long period of Moss being one of the seminal games in the VR ecosystem. The publisher wants to ensure they can make some additional money by expanding it beyond the system. I have concerns about the fact that it is a very VR-specific game, but overall I see it as the company wanting to make sure they are profiting the most from their hard work
