Arizona Sunshine 2 Could Be the Next PSVR2 Must-Buy | Push Square
14.10.2023 - 09:43 / pushsquare.com
Ask anyone that has a PSVR2 and they’ll likely tell you that the tech is great, but the library is lacking. Outside of No Man's Sky or Resident Evil Village, there are very few games that truly revel in the format of VR. However, a recent visit to Vertigo Games’ HQ in Rotterdam proved that VR is in the blood of the developer’s upcoming title Arizona Sunshine 2. After going hands-on with a PC build of the game, we were left dying for the full release of what could be PSVR2's next must-buy.
For those out of the know, Arizona Sunshine is a VR zombie shooter that launched back in 2016 on the PSVR. Featuring a sun-bleached post-apocalypse, a Zombieland irreverence, and a penchant for over-the-top gore, it quickly accumulated a cult following. Fans of the first game will be glad to know that seven years and a whole VR generation later, all the hallmarks of Arizona Sunshine are present in its sequel — along with some massive improvements.
Our demo starts on a dusty front yard of a rundown trailer. Buddy, the friendly German Shepherd playfully approaches with a zombie arm in his mouth. Reaching down, we pick up the arm and toss it, playing a game of zombie-tinged fetch. While it's an immediate showcase of the game’s dark sense of humour, for us it marks the first of many interactive elements of this demo which showcase how much Vertigo Games gets VR as a format.
From shopping trolleys that we collected zombie parts in to books that have to be left on top of buttons to open doors, Arizona Sunshine 2 is a far cry from the lacking interactivity of something like Firewall Ultra. Almost every interaction requires some kind of physical movement, which not only amplifies immersion but also just makes for a far more fun experience. The team were keen to stress that if it wasn’t interactable, they didn’t want it in their game, and they seem to have held up their end of the bargain.
A massive improvement over its predecessor lies in the shooting mechanics. Instead of a gesture for reloading, you’ll now remove and replace magazines, pull back barrels, flip rifles, and keep track of ammunition. The shooting itself feels pinpoint, and after a short time reloading becomes second nature. The devs later told us that you're able to toss magazines in the air and catch them with your gun, so there is room for play with this new manual reload mechanic. However, that doesn’t mean this zombie apocalypse is a walk in the park. It's easy to become flustered when your clip runs out and you have a half dozen zombies chomping away at you.
That's where our favourite mode of zombie killing comes in. From bats to machetes, melee combat and limb detachment is phenomenal. We reckon our demoist was a little concerned when we removed every

European authorities and the FBI bust ransomware group that launched $11 million attack on Capcom
With just a touch of bravado, the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (or Europol) has announced «a major blow» to the Ragnar Locker ransomware group. To you and me, that name is mostly familiar because of the organisation's 2020 attack on Capcom, which saw it demand $11 million and affect around 400,000 people's data.
