Watch Rez Infinite’s Area X — how VR finally got me into the classic trip

I never got Rez. I’ve always heard people talk about it in reverent tones, and I gave it a sincere shot when Rez HD launched on Xbox 360 last generation. But it took PlayStation VR for it to click with me.

Rez Infinite is a launch game for PlayStation VR in which layers lock on to enemies and objects in the world while a musical track thumps in the background. The musical, sci-fi rail shooter is out October 13 for $30, and it also works without Sony’s virtual reality headset. Like with Rez HD, this version brings back the first five Areas that so many people fell in love with in the original release on the Sega Dreamcast console way back in 2001 and 2002. But unlike those previous versions, PSVR puts you inside the technoscapesr. That brings you closer to the action than ever before, and it is truly mesmerizing to feel surrounded by such a dynamic and stylized environment.
