I try to pick it up and accidentally sever his heart and rip out a lung on PS VR because the tracking skipped out. I reach out to grab the saw, then drop it inside of Bob’s chest cavity because my fingers cramped and let go of the Vive wand’s grip button. That is, until you scream internally from frustration. The juxtaposition of the gore and gratuitous blood with the completely shifty and unreliable nature of the controls will force even the most stone faced gamer to smile. It doesn’t really feel appropriate or useful, but it’s better than not being able to play the game at all I suppose.īut a huge part of what makes Surgeon Simulator so appealing in the fist place is just how precise of a profession actually operating on people in real life should be. Unfortunately this limits you to only a single hand represented in the game. Simply pick either left or right handed and you move the controller around just as you would the Move controller and use the triggers to open and close your hand.
Oddly, you don’t even need the Move controllers if you’re playing on the PS VR because the game also supports the Dualshock 4 gamepad since it can be tracked by the camera as well.
Luckily, it’s since been updated to alleviate the main issues on Sony’s VR device. On the PS VR, the camera loses tracking often and until recently the way it translated your hand movements with the Move controllers was essentially broken. On the HTC Vive for example, you have to constantly press the side grip button and track pad together to properly grab things. For starters, the tracking feels finicky on all three versions of the game (HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and PS VR) and controls are imprecise and cumbersome pretty much across the board. Make no doubt about it though: Surgeon Simulator: Experience Reality is an inherently flawed and conflicted game that struggles with core fundamentals that a VR game released at the end of 2016 probably shouldn’t struggle with. Grab a scalpel and cut away his organs to get deeper, or carefully maneuver the electric saw to remove those pesky arteries. You can pick up the saw and carve his ribs away one by one, or bash them in with a hammer to reach his insides more quickly. He needs a heart transplant and the tools of destruction are spread out before you. The very first operation has you cutting into Bob, who lay opened up on the table, ready for business. The entire game is played by picking up and using objects. Depending on your sense of humor and expectations, it mostly works. Now, Surgeon Simulator: Experience Reality, is essentially the original 2013 game adapted to fit the controls and premise of the Meet the Medic demo. When the Vive launched, we got Surgeon Simulator VR: Meet the Medic, which was a short demo showing off the basic mechanics. Naturally, once VR headsets hit the market, people wanted to experience it all over again, but this time from the immersive view of a VR headset.
