![]() ![]() It feels entirely as though you're there, stood behind that Quick-E-Mart desk or in that greasy spoon kitchenette, frantically responding to orders - make sandwich, scratch lottery ticket - and fumbling your way through believably tangible objects to do so. In other words, you're grappling with the comedy physics of so many Wii titles, or even something like Goat Simulator, more than you are existing in whole new form of reality. Your attention is instead focused entirely on clumsily picking up an egg and trying to crack it open on a worktop counter, or cack-handedly pushing a new tyre onto a boxy car, or waving a hexagonal donut somewhere near where your mouth is. The 360-degree and enormous surrounding become taken for granted. ![]() While the initial awe of finding yourself standing within a visually enormous cartoon space filled with robots and big chunky vegetables or coffee machines or cars doesn't dissipate as such, it quickly ceases to be what your attention is focused on. Job Simulator is almost more about these controllers than it is VR. No finger control, no, but you can pick up, move and throw objects which do not, in fact, exist, and this is a big part of why the humble brain quickly settles on 'sure, this is basically real, why not?' These are key to the whole experience, because they let you use your hands. The Vive usually gets talked about as a virtual reality headset and as one that turns your room into a navigable playspace, but there's a third string to its bow, which is its wireless motion controllers. Job Simulator is a hoot, make no bones about it, but it's an inventive and funny showcase rather than something I'm going to repeatedly check in on. Wii Sports was the game you used to demo your console and delight relatives with, yes, but it's also the one that you actually went back to time and again. With its physics-based buffoonery and playful cartoon style it's tempting to call it the Wii Sports of Valve's VR platform, but I think that honour will ultimately go to something else, something I haven't tried or perhaps don't even know about yet. It's hard to say exactly what is the headline act for the Vive, whose first major foray into public availability began today, but Owlchemy's Job Simulator is certainly one of the biggest hitters. The future is here, and it's bloody ridiculous. Job Simulator is a cheerful satire of a possible future in which robots rule the world and recreate the boundlessly mundane human jobs of yesteryear for their own entertainment - but this cannot come close to the fundamental absurdity of what I am doing with a VR headset today. Yet I eschewed sunshine and the joyful company of my capering 2-year-old for what? Why, for performing menial chores in the dark, with an LCD screen mashed directly onto my eyeballs. The outside world is becoming more and more appealing.
