Island 359 for HTC Vive is a terrifying dinosaur survival VR game

The dinosaurs in the film Jurassic Park were pretty terrifying. In virtual reality, they must be even worse. That seems to be the thinking behind CloudGate Studio‘s Island 359.

CloudGate is unveiling Island 359 and its larger-than-life dinosaurs for VR this summer on the HTC Vive headset. The company hopes this game will be a part of a wave of serious VR games that help solidify the platform in the eyes of gamers. The VR headsets such as the Oculus VR and the Vive launched this spring, but they need more content to keep the promise of VR alive.
