Project Motor Racing's VR Demo Impresses at SimRacing Expo

Project Motor Racing's VR is in development and got its first live test at SimRacing Expo Charlotte, where a work-in-progress build ran in VR on a Pimax Dream Air SE. The demo showed convincing cockpit detail and smooth performance, but UI integration and anti-aliasing still need work; there were no on-track opponents yet. The team, led by Aristotelis Vasilakos with Giants backing, envisions a longer-term VR roadmap and will share a fuller verdict as development continues.

TMNT Empire City: A Breezy VR Beat‑’Em‑Up With Flaws

TMNT: Empire City is a fun VR hack‑and‑slash with a compact, NYC open world, four playable turtles with distinct skills, a fleshed‑out loot and perks system, and solid co‑op for up to four players. Its comic‑book visuals and strong voice acting land well, and the story is approachable for newcomers, but the combat can feel overbuilt for the payoff and it’s occasionally hampered by glitches and dialogue heaviness. Overall, it delivers arcade‑style fun and fan service that TMNT fans will enjoy, despite rough edges.

Wrath in VR: A Brutal, Nostalgic Boomer Shooter Adaptation

Wrath: Aeon of Ruin VR - Brutal Edition translates the classic boomer shooter into VR with gesture-based reloading, dual-wielding, blade combat, and VR-specific moves, delivering a robust retro campaign and strong level design, but pacing, aiming challenges, and some added flourishes can detract from the speed and flow fans expect from the genre.

Ten Arcade Cabinets So Rare They Became Legends

A ComicBook.com list highlights ten of the rarest arcade cabinets, from urban-m legend Polybius to limited-run machines like Blaster’s cockpit, Sega’s R360 (G-LOC/Wing War), and LaserDisc titles Time Traveler/Holosseum, back to Pac-Man VR and Quake Arcade Edition. Each entry explains why the cabinet is hard to find—extremely low production runs, special configurations (cockpit setups, vector graphics, or VR rigs), licensing quirks, or barscreens in limited venues—with production totals cited (often just hundreds or a few dozen units). The piece notes these cabinets are sought after by retro gaming fans and collectors, and it emphasizes the cabinets’ distinctive features that made them memorable despite their scarcity.

Firesprite’s Scrapped Breaking Bad VR and a Hidden Sci‑Fi Horror IP Surface

Firesprite Studio reportedly worked on a PSVR Breaking Bad VR experience around 2017–2018, described as a narrative VR “experience” rather than a full game, which was canceled about a year after the initial reports. A second shelved project was a sci‑fi horror IP with Body horror visuals, also never released. Despite layoffs and several canceled entries (including a Twisted Metal battle royale), the studio has continued development on other titles, including rumored projects like Project Heartbreak (a potential Until Dawn sequel) and Project Pillar using Unreal Engine 5.

Virtual Boy Returns as a $100 Switch 2 Display, a Quirky Retro VR Museum Piece

Nintendo's Virtual Boy is rebooted as a $100 Switch 2 accessory that slots the console into a red-filter headset on a tripod to run seven of 16 promised retro games; it's a novelty museum piece rather than a serious gaming device, delivering a nostalgic indie vibe but with ergonomic compromises, a need for Switch Online Plus Expansion Pack, and cheaper cardboard goggles as an alternative.
