Espire 1: A New Take On Smooth Locomotion

I’ve wanted a great stealth game in VR ever since consumer-grade headsets started hitting the market. When you’re wearing a headset you at first have a tendency to either sit or stand in one place without moving too much. But then you take a step, and you lean around, and you reach out with motion controllers. Then when a game asks you to crouch down or get on the ground the immersion is ramped up to whole new levels. That’s precisely where games like Espire 1: VR Operative seek to provide their thrills.
 
So far Espire 1 (by a team of devs that’s just referring to themselves as Espire right now as far as we can tell) is billing itself as “Metal Gear Solid meets Goldeneye 007 in an immersive VR world” and from what we’ve seen that seems about right. They’ve been doing a good job of releasing new dev diary updates and the latest entry (embedded below) is the first time we’ve really seen the locomotion system explained in detail.
