The creators of virtual reality games with millions of downloads, Resolution Games working for the next VR title; Cook-Out a sandwich tale
The game is part of the Stockholm-based company's Resolution Games quest to make accessible, casual and humorous titles to help audiences promote VR's mainstream consumer acceptance.
The studio, directed by Tommy Palm, has previously created titles like Angry Birds VR: Pigs Island, Feed and Acron: Attack of the Squirr. The latter has been downloaded more than 3 million times.
"We’re sharing some more detail about our extremely whimsical cooking and collaborative multiplayer game,” Palm said in an interview with GamesBeat. “We’ve always been very big on trying to make VR content that would fit everybody and bring more people into VR. Cooking is one of these things we have wanted to do for a long time "
Cook-Out: A Sandwich Tale is a cooperative game where four players can work as chefs in a kitchen. The game will launch later this year on the Oculus Quest and Oculus Rift platforms, and additional platforms will arrive.
Gustav Stenmark said in a statement that players will have to deal with the pressure cooker of a fast-moving kitchen, where chefs prepare meals but also have to fight off a number of nasty customers who seem absolutely set on making trouble.
While the game focuses on collaborative play, solo players will be able to enjoy the experience with the help of a simulated partner.
Palm said he really likes the Oculus Quest platform, which has been selling out, because it gets rid of the wires and some of the hassles of playing VR. With hardware like the Quest in place,
Palm believes the onus is on developers to create outstanding games to attract more consumers to VR.
