Hello everyone today I would like to talk about a virtual reality video game to be more accurate Guitar Hero set in the universe of Star War, before going into detail with the video game in question let's first know some important points.

Guitar Hero is a music game whose main objective is to press buttons in real time or at the exact moment that is shown on the monitor to the rhythm of your favorite rock songs. We can make a series of combos, some really complex and finalize each musical theme accumulate a score that depends on the number of combos that you have made successfully positions you in a leaderboard.

It should be noted that Guitar Hero was developed by Harmonix Music Systems and distributed by RedOctane for the PlayStation 2 in November 2005 was also listed as one of the most representative video games of the 21st century gaining a position among the great video games that have come to market.

We already know what Guitar Hero is and I'm sure I do not have to explain much about Star Wars, so I'll be brief.

What is Star Wars?

Star Wars is a franchise of films set in the wars of the galaxies whose main and the most iconic weapon is the Laser Saber, the main weapon of the Jedi and Sith. Despite the overwhelming success it has, not only lies in the movies but also an animated series, video games, etc ...

Many of the old school players are aware of the evolution of video games, between consoles, Atari, Arcades, Smartphone, and PC. The VR (virtual reality) comes with a different game mechanics able to position itself as a new alternative to training.

The VR allows you to have a perspective of the surroundings of scenes or objects of real appearance generated by computer technology that makes the player feel the sensation of being part of that intangible world and everything through glasses or helmets of reality that can also be accompanied with accessories such as gloves or suits specially designed for this technology.

It should be noted that this technology has been talked about since the 1950s with illustrations referring to realities that are alternatives to the real world as we know it. However, unsuccessful attempts have been made to create this technology in the 1990s, but it was not until 2010-2014 which had a great impact on the community, taking it as an alternative to entertainment.

But what happens if, due to Technology like VR, we merge large franchises such as Guitar Hero and Star Wars?

beat saber is a video game of virtual musical reality that allows us to take the game mechanics of Guitar Hero and combine it with the lightsaber as accessory of star wars, its objective is very simple we must make combos to the rhythm of the music with the use of saber of light and all this set in the world of star wars. It should be noted that all this thanks to the work of the study hyperbolic magnetism that brings us this great combination that is simple but really fun.

Here I leave some videos in several perspectives so that they understand better what I mean.

• Perspective in Third Person.

conclusion

I must confess I had my doubts about the VR technology because I suffer from the FOV disease and I get dizzy but when I saw this video game I really wanted to play it and I never tire of thinking that sometimes the simplest ideas are the ones best and hyperbolic magnetism I achieve with this virtual reality music video game and I hope that as time goes by, more ideas like these that are really fun will come true.

Without more to say, see you guys.
