Sega’s been keeping a watchful eye over the ever-growing popularity of Vr in recent months, with the company “very close” to making an announcement in regards to the technology, according to head of Sega Europe Jurgen Post.
In an interview with McV, Jurgen said that “Vr has caught the whole company’s attention,” since it gained traction among consumers, and that they have “a lot of Vr kits in the office and people are playing with it.” While the Japanese software giant has yet to make any official announcement in regards to Vr-supported titles, there’s a chance that 2014’s terrifying Alien: Isolation is near the front of the queue.
“We did Alien: Isolation about three years ago on Oculus Rift, it was a demo that was bloody scary,” says Post, adding that “to bring that back to Vr would be a dream and dreams can come true.”
