Robinson: The Journey A new virtual reality game from Crytek, Robinson: The Journey, uses CRYENGINE to create a realistic virtual reality experience set on a mysterious planet. Players will assume the role of a young boy who survived a crash, and they will be given freedom to explore the planet and interact with its ecosystem to discover various secrets and interesting sights. ^[1]

Game Details

Announced at E3 2015, there is still only a very little information available about the game. We know that it is going to be set on a mysterious planet and that the gameplay is going to focus on the exploration through the eyes of a young boy. ^[2]

The game demonstrates Sony’s commitment to making virtual reality a staple of their console platform. Their executives are betting on the success of VR and want to be there when it happens. ^[3]

Game Demos

Crytek has demonstrated a couple of VR demos at various industry events over the past year. These demos, namely Dinosaur Island 1 and 2, gave a peek at what we could expect from Robinson: The Journey.

The first demo placed players in a more static role as a giant dinosaur stared them down at close quarters. The second demo featured greater interactivity as users scaled a cliff and took in their expansive surroundings. Many players claimed that these demos were the most immersive and realistic VR experience ever. Everything about the environment looked believable, with an unprecedented level of visual fidelity. ^[4]
