GORN 2 is HERE and Bloody Hell, It's Even More Brutal in VR2
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
GORN 2 has arrived on PSVR2, promising even more of the hilariously violent and physically demanding gameplay that made the original a VR favourite. Prepare to flail, scream, and possibly vomit.
Alright, mates, buckle up because GORN 2 has just crash-landed onto PlayStation VR2, and from the looks of things, it's even more gloriously violent than the original. Courtesy of IGN South Africa, we've got a launch trailer that dives deep into the game's… unique… combat system. I say unique because let's be honest, swinging floppy gladiators into each other while screaming at the top of your lungs is hardly your typical VR experience, is it?
Now, I know what you're thinking: "Jeff, another VR gladiator game? Haven't we had enough of those?" And fair enough, there's been a fair few of 'em. But GORN always stood out because it completely embraces the ridiculous. We're talking physics-based mayhem where every weapon feels like it's made of rubber and every enemy is just begging to be launched across the arena.
The trailer (linked below, naturally) showcases all the glorious, bone-crunching action we've come to expect. Plus, it gives us a glimpse at some new weapons and enemies tailored for the VR2 experience. Imagine the haptic feedback on *that* morningstar… *shudders*. And the adaptive triggers? Well, I reckon they'll be getting a right old workout.
But what's really piqued my interest is the potential for even *more* chaotic fun. The VR2's improved tracking and resolution should mean a smoother, more immersive (if that's the right word) experience. More precise headbutts? More perfectly timed shield bashes? Don't mind if I do!
Of course, there's always the question of motion sickness. GORN's frantic movement and over-the-top physics haven't always been kind to those with sensitive stomachs. Hopefully, the VR2's enhancements will help mitigate that somewhat, but I'd still recommend having a bucket handy... just in case.
Ultimately, GORN 2 on PSVR2 looks like exactly what it should be: a hilariously brutal and utterly bonkers VR experience. If you're looking for something a little bit different from your typical sword-swinging simulator, this might just be the one for you. Just try not to break anything in your living room, eh?
