Even if Bossa Studios' Surgeon Simulator isn't suitable for use when training surgeons, the game has become quite popular with gamers. In fact, almost 2.5 million copies of the game have been sold worldwide.
Thursday we got word saying that Surgeon Simulator will be heading to VR, which will probably lead to a whole new level of immersion. The date for this is still not set, but at least we're told that it will be released on several of the coming VR platforms. Here's some of what you may expect, cut from the press release:
"With the ability of new VR technology to pull you into a virtual world, you've been transported to a new reality - a hospital in the English county of Barnardshire, to outer space, to the darkly humorous world of Surgeon Simulator - in VR.
Making players feel present and inhabiting the character of Nigel Burke has required a rethink of the original Surgeon Simulator concept. The tactile nature of accurately mapped VR controls has also meant that the game's core physics based gameplay needs new game systems to preserve the difficult, comedy prone elements fans know and love."
