The Samsung Gear VR that finally brings everyone into the virtual reality fold, but its going to need more than a head-mounted Galaxy Note 4 to work.
IGN reports John Carmack and the Oculus team is working on a third-person dungeon crawler that has been tentatively entitled VR Quest. Carmack described the game at the Oculus Connect conference as being "Legend of Zelda-esque."
Most likely this means gamers will head out into a vast virtual world collecting items and conquering dungeons.
There's not a lot of concrete information surrounding VR Quest - which also could ultimately be changed as it's a working title. However, the big take away here is Oculus VR itself is developing a new game on its own to ensure the Gear VR takes off.
Phablet not included
We got some face time with the Gear VR and the technology looks just as promising as the Oculus Rift. This should not really come as any surprise as the Gear VR requires the user to slot in their Samsung Galaxy Note 4 in front of their eyes. The Oculus Rift happens to use two Galaxy Note 3 displays positioned next to each other.
Unlike the Oculus Rift though, Gear VR isn't being developed solely for games. Instead the Samsung headset will allow users to immerse themselves other types of interactive experiences such as watching a Cirque De Soleil fly over them.
Samsung has yet to announce a release date for the Gear VR but the Korean electronics firm let loose it will cost $200 (about £120, AU$215). Of course, this isn't including the price of the Galaxy Note 4, which will be the real deciding factor whether or not you pick up this VR headset.
