Earlier this year we welcomed players to the world of Moss, Moss. With the release of Book II. The award-winning sequel, winner of VR Game of the Year at the VR Awards and a nominee for Best VR/AR Game at the Game Awards, concludes the fan-favorite franchise where Moss' story ended nearly four years ago.

Like the PS VR release of Moss in 2018, Moss. Book II received positive reviews, quickly climbing the ranks and standing alongside Moss as one of the best VR games of all time. And while the story continues in the same world, Moss. The look and feel of Book II has been vastly improved over its predecessor. This was to be expected as we continued to learn and use new technologies throughout development to help us improve the game for players to experience in the future.
Now that we've acquired the PS VR2 hardware, we're experimenting and discovering new ways to draw players deeper into the world of Moss as they take on the role of the first player, the main ally of the main character, Feather. . Fortunately, the platform's dual-controller setup, improved haptic feedback, visual enhancements, and eye-tracking capabilities have reduced the limitations that previous hardware had placed on our team. And as we've said before, when we port our games to new platforms, we don't just want to run them on PS VR2, we spend time on every aspect of the game, through graphics and gameplay, with the goal of delivering. a truly unique and memorable experience.
Here are a few ways the PS VR2 rig can be used to enhance the overall first-person immersion for players of the Moss franchise:
- Improved haptic performance . players can now experience the effects of earthquakes, devastating attacks and movements in the world. It
- Dual controller setup . Playing with the PS VR2 Sense controllers feels natural, allowing players to express themselves more freely in the world as they manipulate the environment, interact with Quill, or use the weapon inventory system during combat.
- Adjustable triggers . players will experience the clarity of action as they feel the tension and weight of virtual objects as they pick them up and move them around the world. Struck triggers and barrels now respond to the amount of force applied and break when squeezed enough to overcome trigger resistance.
- Eye tracking . interactive objects now emit a subtle glow when you look at them. This allows players to quickly discover interactive objects during puzzles and gameplay. Eye tracking also lets Quill know where players are looking, so you can leave clues if you spot something before them. .
- Improved visuals and wider field of view . Moss and Moss. Book II runs at 90 frames per second at 4K resolution (2000 x 2040 per eye), even with improved lighting and textures. This, along with a wider field of view, gives players a sense of deeper immersion.
