COLD VR Demo review: a promising adrenaline action game

COLD VR Demo review: a promising adrenaline action game

Today I’ve tried the free demo of COLD VR, the VR game that is the opposite of Superhot VR (hence the joke of the name). I think this game is fun and has a lot of potential, but it needs a bit more of polish to become a true hit when the full version will […]

VRTUOLUO talks about its FBEC event and the VR ecosystem in China

VRTUOLUO is one of the leading VR publications in China: let’s say it’s a bit like the Chinese version of Upload VR. When I was in Shenzhen, everyone was talking about them to me, and then I had also the pleasure to meet them and have a coffee with them (they’re very nice people!). I […]

The time to harvest for us VR people is now

A few weeks ago, I was discussing with a colleague of mine that I hadn’t seen for months, and while we were updating ourselves about each other’s lives, we started talking about our VR careers. We both are in a better situation than a few years ago, so at a certain point, he told me […]
