Developers Cherry Pop Games and Perilous Orbit have announced a virtual reality-exclusive version of its realistic pool simulator will be coming to the HTC Vive next week. Called Pool Nation VR, the game accurately simulates a pool table's physics, while you wield your cue with the Vive's motion controllers.
But, as the above trailer demonstrates, Pool Nation VR isn't just about playing a standard game of pool. The title has a sharp sense of humour, which it owes to its use of Unreal Engine 4's physics engine, combined with the Vive's room-scale tracking and motion control. Not only is the pool table simulated, but so is the rest of the bar that the pool table is located in - along with all the objects you'd expect to find. You can stack and smash beer bottles, hit trick shots over them, or just just go and play a round of darts while you wait for your turn.
Pool Nation VR also allows for online multiplayer, so you and a friend can join the same room - which can be customised with a whole bunch of unlockable items. The game launches on April 28 on Steam for US$19.99, exclusively for the HTC Vive.
