Action Hero turns you into VR Tom Cruise later this year

Action Hero is a new VR FPS that wants to make you a movie star in Quest.

Announced during the VR Games Showcase, developer Fast Travel Games (Mannequin, Vampire: The Masquerade – Justice) revealed a new trailer for the upcoming game. You'll become the protagonist of five films, like a VR version of Tom Cruise, and each film offers four acts where you'll face challenges like ninjas, villains, and even raptors as you star in your own version of Jurassic Park.

To enhance the action movie vibes, Action Hero is in slow motion until you move. Think of it as a reverse Super hotalthough not in the same way as the upcoming COLD FRIWhether you're a fan of espionage or taking on enemies during a frantic chase scene, this lets you focus on your flair instead of struggling to survive waves of enemies.

Action Hero is focused on being an accessible shooter for the VR market, as confirmed in a prepared statement from Action Hero's Game Director Chris Smith.

“With Action Hero, we wanted to create a fresh start for the VR shooter, with an accessible design that allows new players to experience the game at their own pace and in a comfortable way.”
