Virtual reality might have an expensive entry price, but games like Firewall: Zero Hour can provide the FPS genre with an endless amount of possibilities.As a whole, first-person shooters have not changed much mechanically over the last 5-10 years. In almost every single game in the genre, you aim down the sights, fire from the hip, and move on to the next area, though there might be some subtle differences occasionally. While the two biggest multiplayer FPS series on the market, Battlefield and Call of Duty, vary when it comes to the overall scope of the game, such as Battlefield‘s gigantic maps or CoD‘s smaller faster-paced action, mechanically they are pretty similar. It might be time for a change.That isn’t to say that I want that type of gameplay to completely go away. It will always be there: trust me, I love Battlefield and I can’t wait to jump into Battlefield V this November, especially now that they have to provide a more tactical experience.

Firewall Contact Hour is now available exclusively for PSVR for $39.99. For more on Firewall Zero Hour, make. Firewall Zero Hour has a heavy focus on tactical gunplay which works especially well with VR's heightened immersion; it plays best with PS Aim.

I just think that there is finally a way to play an FPS that isn’t like anything on the market right now: that way is virtual reality. AdvertisementI truly believe that VR is the way of the future when it comes to just about everything entertainment. It has the potential to provide what just staring at a TV can’t.

Why Skype with someone when you could virtually put yourself in the same room as someone? Why watch an NBA game on TV when you can virtually put yourself in the arena? Finally, why play a first-person shooter when you can put yourself into a first-person shooter?“W hy play a first-person shooter when you can put yourself into a first-person shooter?”I just recently — developed by First Contact Entertainment — and I couldn’t contain my smile while playing it. It is a tactical FPS that is very reminiscent of Rainbow Six Siege and is only available in PSVR. The game is currently sitting on Metacritic; however, I truly believe the score would be much higher if some fixable issues, such as only having one match and kicking you back to the lobby, long wait times, and the lack of host migration, were not present. These issues seem to have been the main point of concern for most that have played the game, and after a recent, the developers have acknowledged the issues and are taking action. Aside from these issues — which have mostly been fixed with a few updates — Firewall could be the first VR title to break into a whole entire new style of first-person shooters.

The tactical shooter plays exactly how anyone would expect a VR FPS would: put on the headset, pick up the awkward-looking aim controller, and just point and shoot. There is a little bit of a learning curve when it comes to movement, but other than that, it’s as simple as aiming at an enemy and pulling the trigger. However, this simple aspect alone can separate VR shooters from your typical Battlefield or Call of Duty. Since the headset and aim controller can track your movements incredibly well, players are left with a huge amount of opportunities that cannot be found in other FPS experiences.“ Players are left with a huge amount of opportunities that cannot be found in other FPS experiences.”. AdvertisementFor example, during my playtime when I was reviewing Firewall, I had cornered an enemy into a small room where the only way out was where they came in. I didn’t have any flash grenades or frags left, so I just knew that the other player was behind the wall with his reticle right on the doorway.

I quickly pondered my options and a theoretical lightbulb flicked on in my head. I scooted my way up to the entrance of the room, literally stuck my arms out, pointed the gun in the doorway, and unloaded a clip until I killed the enemy.Yes, blind-firing like this isn’t exactly new to games; practically every third person shooter has this mechanic. However, because the game didn’t necessarily say that I could do this, it leads me to believe that there are a plethora of different possibilities out there to play around with while playing a first-person shooter in VR. In the recent Battlefield games, you are able to lean around corners to shoot, but, the way you do it is not very fluid compared to Rainbow Six Siege that allows you to lean left or right while aiming with a click of the left or right stick. I always thought leaning was an awesome addition to FPS games and that they should be in every game from now on. I just think that it will be difficult to come up with some other actions that can change up the normal mechanics in a first-person shooter.Comparing this to the ways that I saw FPS gameplay in VR with Firewall, the possibilities are endless. Singularity lyrics english. You are no longer shackled to the crosshairs in the middle of your screen anymore.

If someone is laying down fire from behind, just point your gun behind you and start shooting.“You are no longer shackled to the crosshairs in the middle of your screen anymore.”You will be surprised what could happen: I have at least two kills in Firewall because I just randomly pointed my gun in the direction I started to get shot at. If there might be an enemy behind a doorway, you can literally poke your head around the corner to take a peak. I would even hold my gun sideways like I was Snake in Metal Gear Solid 4 as I felt it was easier to aim down the sight and because, c’mon: who else doesn’t want to be like Snake? The number of actions available might be endless thanks to motion controls (that is something I never thought I would say) and a VR headset.Firewall: Zero Hour made me feel something that I haven’t felt in a multiplayer shooter since the original Halo or Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, two games that redefined the genre. I might be overstepping here, but I really believe that what the game accomplishes with FPS gameplay in VR could lead to something big or groundbreaking; people just need to experience it. After showing a couple friends and family members the game, they have all asked how much a VR unit was and how they could start playing. Virtual Reality might be a bit pricey, but it could possibly redefine the FPS genre.

Is the debut game from the team at First Contact Entertainment. As if shipping your first game isn’t stressful enough, Firewall Zero Hour is being hailed as VR’s first great FPS.

Games like and have helped propel to over three million. One genre that is undoubtedly perfect for VR is the online FPS but it’s an experience that has oddly only delivered mediocre games. Firewall Zero Hour: A PSVR Shooter With An Emphasis On TeamworkSony and VR enthusiasts have promoted Firewall Zero Hour as being the greatest thing since sliced bread. As a launch PSVR adopter and huge fan of all things shooter, I was excited but skeptical that the game would live up to the hype.Firewall Zero Hour is a tactical military shooter that puts two teams of up to four against each other in a game of attack and defend. One team must protect a laptop and secure access points to prevent the other team of attackers from hacking the important data.

While we weren’t all the best players, we had the strength of teamwork. Through the years some of us aren’t the gamers we once were and I learned to be more of a lone wolf type player, but Firewall Zero Hour brings back that feeling of camaraderie, as it is easier won through teamwork.I learned to rely on the kindness of strangers for this game as I didn’t know anyone else playing it. Surprisingly the community is a chill and enthusiastic bunch that welcomes and helps new players, so don’t be afraid to mic up and talk to your teammates.

Firewall Zero Hour: You Only Get One ShotIf you are downed, a teammate can revive you. If you are downed three times in one match it becomes permanent, if you are eliminated in the downed state, you will not respawn.

A dead player can still help out their team by feeding them info via voice chat as you are given a cameras eye view of the rest of the game. Matches are fairly short and if you leave upon death, you are not awarded XP. Firewall Zero Hour isn’t the prettiest military shooter, but for what it lacks in graphical power, it makes up with the immersion of VR. I’m usually a guns blazing type of player, but peaking around a corner in this game made me want to seek cover because it’s such a cool feature that you must try for yourself to understand the feeling.The game’s sound is also excellent. Even playing without headphones, albeit on a 7.1 surround system, I always knew where enemies were coming from because the footsteps were crystal clear. Gunshots and explosives also sound realistic.Firewall Zero Hour can be played with a Dualshock 4, or the. I used a controller, and it works pretty great but you do have to hold it up high kind of like a gun which gets awkward after extended playing.

I’ve been holding out buying an Aim controller, but this game is really selling it to me. I initially had some tracking issues and had to reposition my camera several times before hitting that sweet spot. After much frustration, I found that positioning the camera to a lower spot than on top of my tv was the key to happiness.

The game really gets under your skin, when I wasn’t playing it, I found myself thinking about it and the different tactics I would use next time. Firewall Zero Hour might not dethrone Kratos from Game of the Year, but it’s the VR shooter you have been waiting for.
