Zero Latency Virtual Reality

Zero Latency Virtual Reality is a place in nottingham that allows up to 8 people to play together in a virtual reality world. There are currently 4 games you can play: Singularity, Survival, Origins and Engineerium. For 45 minutes of playing it will cost you £35, for 30 minutes it will cost you £30. Also the cost changes depending on the time of day.

Survival

Survival is you generic zombie shooter where you have to defend a place by shooting zombies that are trying to kill you. You can build barriers to defend the place. Throughout the game you can use 5 weapons which are the: Assault Rifle, Sniper Rifle, a Minigun, a Heavy Assault Rifle and a Shotgun.

Engineerium

Engineerium is a puzzle game where you have to connect platforms together using teamwork.

Singularity

This is more or less the same as survival except its taking place in space station with no gravity and with robots that are attacking you instead of zombies. This is the closest of the games that looks like cyberpunk.

Origins

Unfortunately origins is not released yet so we won't be able to play on it until later but it looks like a zombie shooter with some cyberpunk mixed in because the environment is all broken and worn down.

What's the difference between this and home?

The difference between this and playing at home is that zero latency VR has a dedicated warehouse-sized room that you can walk around freely from wires which means no teleporting so that it is more realistic. This kind of reminds me when in the 80's you had to go to the local arcade in your town and I feel this is at that stage where VR is not in everyone's house just yet, but it on its way and it will be in there soon.

So which one am I interested in?

I can't really determine which one I like the most because they are all similar. but I do know that I don't like many puzzle games so I feel the only one I might not play would be the engineerium but it is in virtual reality so maybe I will like it.
