There’s isn’t a lot of different textures for how the trigger should dynamically react, but we’ve looked at subtle things like potentially having the headset rumble when cars go by.”Īnother key difference is the world size, which is nine times larger than the Quest version. “We’ve been looking at options for how to implement it. If you hover over a button, it’ll rumble a bit.” However, he also confirmed that headset haptics aren’t currently in the game. “There are controller haptics for everything you do. Querying how Enhanced Edition utilizes PSVR 2’s new features, Sundell was quick to highlight haptic feedback. The player can focus on learning how to build a perfect city.” “It’s already such a complex game,” said Andersson, “so this eases the pain when learning the controls. “We’ve done some work on the UI to reduce friction, making it easier for the player to get into,” Sundell replied.
Asking what’s changed, I soon learned it’s not purely a visual upgrade. Just watching a river flow through the landscape highlights these improvements well. Choosing sandbox mode with the Islands map, buildings look nicer up close, while environments are more vibrant. Visiting Fast Travel’s Stockholm office, I went hands-on for about 40 mins, speaking with programmer Leon Andersson and designer Henning Sundell as I played.Īs someone who spent considerable time with Cities: VR at launch, I cannot understate how much cleaner Enhanced Edition looks. Cities: VR provides options without fussing over minor details. You’re still controlling each major aspect of city planning, laying down roads with wildly varying designs, and establishing a local economy. The Enhanced Edition on PSVR 2 takes things further, though the core experience remains the same.
The game has recevied several post-launch updates since then, adding features like metro and traffic routing plus an updated tutorial. However, we also had some concerns, criticizing the UI, stripped-down features and hampered visuals. A reworked version of the acclaimed PC game Cities: Skylines, we enjoyed how Fast Travel’s VR adaptation transitioned Skylines’ core elements in our original review for Quest 2. On PSVR 2, Cities: VR feels like it’s finally living up to its potential. Nearly a year after its Quest 2 release, Cities: VR – Enhanced Edition arrives next month as a PSVR 2 launch game, and we went hands-on for an exclusive preview.
