Bring Pinball into a new Dimension with Pinball FX2 for Oculus Rift

It’s safe to say that of all the things we considered the Oculus Rift would be good for, one thing that we never considered was bouncing a ball bearing around a colourful playfield. But what we know? We just write about games; Zen Studios create them, and considering the amount of copies their games have shifted, they have a knack for knowing what people want. They’ve announced today that their hit pinball title is coming to the Oculus Rift on the 28th March this year.

In a statement, Zen said:

“Harnessing the power of Rift, Pinball FX2 VR is an exciting new way for people to play pinball, moving beyond the silver ball and to a mesmerizing VR experience. Animated toys spring to life on stunningly active table environments with spectacular depth.”

Like the desktop and console versions of the game, Pinball FX2 VR replicates the atmosphere of real-life pinball machines but this time in a virtual play space, while presenting gameplay features and effects that you simply cannot recreate on a physical machine. Additionally, the game’s rich scoreboards will track your Pro Score, Team Score, table stats, and more, allowing you to compete against players from all over the world.
