With that, The Climb was born. It's a game about scaling up a mountain from a first-person point of view. The gameplay is deceptively simple: holding down the left or right triggers causes your in-game avatar to grab any viewable, in-distance ledge with their left or right hand. You "aim" at new ledges simply by looking, craning your neck, shifting your body weight when necessary. If the nearest ledge is too far to reach, you can attempt to jump for it, but you'll need to look well above where the ledge is actually located.
It's a simple base from which to build, and Bowman says that was the key for Crytek as it looked for a virtual reality idea that felt right for the company.
"What we've done is focused our team," he says. "We want to give the most beautiful VR experience within the scope of being an Oculus launch title. In order to do that, we have to stay focused. We have to make it just the best climbing experience possible."

"It's been a bit of transformative experience having those restrictions placed on us," he says. "VR also places a lot of restrictions on performance. CryEngine games are known for pushing the boundaries but not necessarily running great across all hardware. Here, we have to pull that in to guarantee a framerate on a particular hardware set. It's running at a perfect 90Hz on the target machines we're working with."
Oculus Rift launch title. SP only but with leaderboards, took the journo 15 minutes to complete, Oculus Rift exclusive but will release later on more platforms.
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"
OMG I wasn't able to figure out what it was supposed to be until you made me take a second look. Cool!
