Get ready for intense downhill action on Oculus headsets from the mind behind 1080 Snowboarding.
1080° Snowboarding defined a genre of extreme sports games. Now, creator Giles Goddard returns with Chuhai Labs to bring you a modern take on this Nintendo 64 classic. Carve Snowboarding aims to bring everything you love about classic snowboarding games and bring them into the future of VR. The new title was shown off today during the Oculus Gaming Showcase event.
Some features from the Oculus press brief include:
There were some rumblings that 1080° Snowboarding creator Giles Goddard was hard at work on a spiritual successor to the wildly popular Nintendo 64 snowboarding game.
“Technology has changed,” Goddard explained to EuroGamer. “You can now have 100 players on a single mountain, and they’re all playing each other, and you can real-time stream to YouTube – people can start playing with you and then stream with really fast networking and proper multiplayer.
“I’m aiming to emulate the snow across an entire mountain – that means overnight snowfalls lays fresh snow, you jump on your snowboard and go down and then compress the snow, and as you turn the snow pushes out and sprays across which then creates a new lump there which other people can then jump on that. It’s basically simulating snow realistically – a fluid simulation, but with snow.”
How much of this original vision has made it into Carve Snowboarding is not yet known, but winter sports fans can expect this one to arrive on Oculus headsets in the near future.
