Arizona Sunshine was one of the early big hits of virtual reality, as it really nailed the first person VR shooting mechanics and did so against the ever popular shooter enemies: zombies. The game casts you as dark-humoured survivor Sunny who’s gone a bit stir crazy talking to the undead that he calls “Fred” and so heads out on a road trip across Arizona, making friends with Buddy along the way.

It was great in co-op, and it will be great in co-op, as this port features both online and couch co-op for two players. that could be with another friend being human… or with player two being Buddy, your four-legged friend.

This isn’t the first time that a VR-first game has been ported across to flatscreen, but it is perhaps the most notable instance that I can think of. Sony practically completely given up on PSVR2, having sold off a bunch of patents recently, a while Meta has just announced some VR glasses, this is shifting away from being a gaming device and full VR, and more towards AR or XR instead. All we really have that’s new and forward-looking for traditional VR is the freshly released Steam Frame VR headset.

But most telling is that various VR-only developers are now bringing their games across to flatscreen platforms. Some, such as Polyarc, have already folded after failing to make cash to fund further projects.

We enjoyed the Arizona Sunshine series in its natural habitat, from the original which we played on PSVR, or the massively enhanced and much prettier Arizona Sunshine 2 and remake. Let’s stick with that remake, for which Tuffcub said, “It seems odd giving a remake of game a higher score than it’s sequel but the Arizona Sunshine Remake takes all of the good elements from it’s sequel and thankfully, very few of the bad elements. Great fun in co-op mode, but playing alone makes it more tense, scary and certainly more of a challenging.”
