Bullet Train’s virtual reality made me feel like Neo from ‘The Matrix’

LOS ANGELES — Bullet Train is the closest we’ve ever come to stepping into Neo’s shoes.

The latest virtual reality demo from developer Epic Games captures the awesome slow-motion fight scenes from The Matrix in a way no other game has done before. At this week’s Oculus Connect 2 conference in Hollywood, Epic (known for action-packed blockbusters like Gears of War and Unreal Tournament) unveiled a first-person shooter where the player kills enemies using the wireless Oculus Touch motion controllers. These controllers simulate your hands and fingers in VR, allowing you to do things like pick up objects and throw them around.
