12/7/2023 0 Comments Jurassic world aftermath vr![]() How you do all this stealthy sneaking is by crawling underneath furniture, hiding in lockers/cupboards and using your handy collection of gadgets to set off sound sources located around the environment to distract the dinos while you scamper away, over and over and over again. Primarily a combat-free, stealth based puzzler that is over in just a few hours, Jurassic World Aftermath Collection has you sneaking around the environment, solving puzzles to unlock new areas and avoiding the numerous hungry velociraptors that are lurking around the place. ![]() ![]() Likewise, the neat use of 3D audio also benefits the experience, allowing you to precisely pinpoint velociraptors in the local vicinity as the move in and out of your line of sight – but more on that in a bit.įurther Reading – PSVR2 Review – A True Game Changer For High-End VR On Consoles And BeyondĪs to how Jurassic World Aftermath Collection plays, unless you’re a particularly young, wide-eyed Jurassic World/Park fan with dinosaur posters plastered all over your bedroom wall, you’re not going to get very much from the game. It’s also worth noting that John Williams superb soundtrack also features here – but rather than the massive, dramatic bursts and swells of the orchestral composition that defined the movies, the soundtrack seems more muted here, almost as if it’s struggling to push through at every turn but rarely succeeds in doing so. From the iconic sounds of the various dinos (the strange guttural ‘hunting’ sounds of the velociraptors are on full, terrifying display here), to Jeff Goldblum reprising his role from the movies and fan favourite voice actor Laura Bailey ( The Last of Us Part II, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, Call of Duty: Vanguard and so many more roles) enthusiastically guiding you through the game via a radio earpiece, Jurassic World Aftermath Collection is arguably easier on the ears than it is on the eyes. Though the visuals are certainly nothing to write home about, the audio side of things fares a lot better. For much of the game you’ll be rooting around a range of fairly dingy rooms within the Isla Nublar complex and not only are they pretty small, but there’s also some loading to be done when you transition from the central complex hub to one of the other wings – a fact that seems unnecessary given the reduced size and complexity of those environments. This is a shame too, not least because the setting of Isla Nublar would naturally lend itself well to a highly detailed and densely filled world that would echo the movie source material accordingly.įurther Reading – New PS5, PS4 Games Release Dates In 2023 And Beyond – All Upcoming PS5, PS4, PSVR2 GamesĪnother obvious limitation is the size of the world that Jurassic World Aftermath Collection presents players with. Despite the increased resolution, framerate and additional visual effects afforded by PSVR2, Jurassic World Aftermath still looks very simplistic from a visual standpoint with geometrically basic environments, low poly models and sparsely filled locations. ![]() However, it’s also true that the relatively low-powered origins of Jurassic World Aftermath are on full display here. Originally released in two parts on other VR platforms, Jurassic World Aftermath Collection includes both parts (hence the ‘collection’ part of its title) of Jurassic World Aftermath, essentially meaning that players get the full experience all in one go. Taking place between the events depicted in Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Jurassic World Aftermath puts you in the shoes of security expert Sam who crash lands on the island of Isla Nublar and then is tasked with escaping the island lest you end up being the starter, main and dessert for the local dinosaur folk that now have the run of the place thanks to the events glimpsed in the first Jurassic World movie. Jurassic World Aftermath Collection PSVR2 Review A Missed Opportunity To Make The Most Of Jurassic World In VR Originally beginning life on the Meta/Oculus Quest headsets (Oculus is even cited as a development partner on the introduction screen when you boot the game up on PSVR2), Jurassic World Aftermath Collection doesn’t exactly shoot for the sky when it comes to crafting an immersive, high-end VR experience that makes you feel happy that you’ve just forked over in excess of 500 pounds/dollars for Sony’s latest lump of VR tech. This could have been so much better than it actually is. Jurassic World Aftermath Collection PSVR2 review.
