Cryengine VR Experience Released as Free Download

Available for download today, Crytek has released virtual reality tech demo Back to Dinosaur Island for free. Achieved with CryENGINE, Back to Dinosaur Island debuted publicly at GDC 2015 in San Francisco, earning widespread acclaim from press and attendees, but this is the first time players can experience it for themselves in the comfort of their own home. A trailer has been released showing what players can expect.

In Back to Dinosaur Island, players become the eyes and ears of a baby dinosaur in a nest. Surrounded by dinosaur eggs, players are immersed in a beautifully rendered 3D jungle environment filled with lush vegetation and buzzing with life. Players interact with elements around them, including the eggs, a dragon fly and finally, will come face-to-face with an enormous dinosaur. This is pretty intense on screen, but this is a VR supported demo so those lucky enough to own an Oculus Rift will be able to immerse themselves even more. It's available now on Steam.
