Four players sat together over a local connection, but when you strap on the Oculus Rift you might as well be by yourself. The online functionality was simulated in a way at this year’s EGX Rezzed in London. Maybe it will come’.” That mode has finally arrived and fans have VR to thank for it. Online support wasn’t announced until after the VR version’s reveal at last year’s Oculus Connect, which led to an awkward period as the team’s Matt Thomas describes: “The whole time people were asking us about online we were like ‘Yeah, maybe. “So everyone put together that we would have to do that anyway.” “Without online in VR, it’s a very lonely game to play,” Boneloaf’s James Brown tells me. So why would you want to take part of that experience away and put on a VR headset? Well, for one thing, you still won’t be alone the inclusion of VR support has practically demanded the integration of online play, a long-requested feature. For now, that translates to a ‘diorama mode’ that keeps the same overhead camera position. Esper developer Coatsink is helping Boneloaf port it to both the Oculus Rift and PlayStation VR. It’s like across between Super Smash Bros and River City Rampage. Each player controls a stubby character that they’ll lead into battle, attempting to pick up opponents and throw them off of the sides of trucks and into meat grinders, and the last man standing wins. For those that don’t know, Gang Beasts is multiplayer brawler played from an isometric view.
