Imagine a VR version of The Cave.

Or, imagine a real-life replica.

OR, a Ron Gilbert Theme Park™ with the following rides:

- The Cave – abseil and pothole your way about finding trinkets. Don’t get captured by the miner!
- Maniac Mansion haunted house (on one of those classic caster tracks that goes in and out of bits of the house)
- Secret of Monkey Island official, licensed, definitely-not-a-rip-off Pirate Ride
- Indy assault course
- Thimbleweed Park Epcot
- Zak McKracken log flume (not my favourite game 😛)

Disclaimer: we’ve likely discussed this before but I don’t remember.

I don´t think there is a PS4 version for The Cave. But I could play it in VR. Playing non VR games with VR is like watching them on a really really big screen.

Pics or you know the rest.

People all over the world should play Monkey Island in school! Unbelievable that there are people who haven’t played that greatest game of all games!

Can’t you run PS3 games on the PS4?

So there is no 3D effect? For example that the tunnels seem to be “in” the TV?

I guess, but I was thinking more like one you can actually walk into and around.

🤔

Nope, he’s confused me again.

Oh, I see. Is this MI2 related? I’ve played the first one.

But, does it have a cursed guitar and a smurg? Hm?

It is a nice cave, though.

You see no TV anymore. Just the Screen floating in Air. Maybe it bends a little but that is it. It´s like playing the game in a movie theater.

Yes, but I would like to know what is possible with the current version of the game.

Ah, Ok. I’ve only experiences with the “old” 3D glasses that you use(d) in front of a common display or TV. Back then it was possible to watch every 3D game in 3D - with mixed results, but it was possible. 🙂

Yeah, but playing VR is not really like wearing 3D glasses, it´s very different than that in general.
