The new Switch Vivox SDK should be available for developers to download now from Vivox's site, and the first Switch games with it should be rolling out soon: Hi-Rez Studio has promised updates for Smite and Paladins using the SDK soon.

Tetris Effect is launching on the PlayStation 4 this fall, and perhaps most intriguingly, it will include support for PlayStation VR. Enhance has a good track record with virtual reality, crafting the sublime VR version of Rez Infinite when the PSVR launched.

Rez, the manager, disparagingly tells him that Ally will ruin her image if she stays married to a "jerk," and when Jackson learns that Ally plans to cancel her European tour rather than leave him behind, he decides to take his own life.

Basketball has resonated with other indigenous cultures — Native Americans in the United States have put their own stamp on the game, nicknamed rez ball, and the Triqui in southern Mexico, who grew up playing the game barefoot, have gained notice for their proficiency at it.

Spider-Man (2018) Tetris Effect, a reimagining of the classic puzzle game for the PS4 from Rez Infinite and Lumines creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi, set out to achieve something remarkable: making one of the oldest and most well-known video games on the planet interesting again.

Since launching in 2014, multiplayer mythological game SMITE from Hi-Rez Studios has eaten up more and more of the professional multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) market, bringing a higher level of competitiveness to a playing field previously dominated by League of Legends and DOTA.

On an all new episode of RISE, we travel to the capital city of Winnipeg in Manitoba, Canada, where Canada's largest "Urban Rez" takes back the streets, battling the intergenerational effect of residential schools, poverty, high crime, and violence directed at girls and women.

You're a little spaceship thing, impossibly small against the odds, locking onto and destroying enemies of all shapes and sizes—some of which shoot back, so you'll need to eliminate those projectiles, too, by sweeping a target around with the right stick, Rez style.

And it's in VR. Rez Infinite, the (ahem) up-rezzed version of Tetsuya Mizuguchi's cult classic that came to PlayStation 4 last year, is a launch title for PlayStation VR. Don't panic, you can play the entire game outside of VR when it arrives next month.

Still, Mr. Keller said that he valued heavy metal's capacity for bringing people from different backgrounds together, especially in the Southwest, where Hispanics and Native Americans have long featured prominently in the metal scene, forging subgenres like Rez Metal, popular on and around the vast Navajo reservation.

I've spent much of the past week with a large chunk of the PSVR launch lineup, and while I haven't been able to play everything yet — including notable games like Rez Infinite and RIGS: Mechanized Combat League — I can already confidently say the headset's software shows promise.

Sha Rez tells me he's stopped taking the drug because of similar experiences, and Oneman recounts how, while drinking and popping pills one night, he woke up the next day to find out that he'd taken nine more pills with no memory of having done so.

The alto saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa led his Indo-Pak Coalition — a trio with Rez Abbasi on guitar and Dan Weiss switching between trap drums and tabla — in pieces that traveled from crisp, tricky, zig-zagging melodies in South Asian modes to the vocabulary of jazz, and back.

In particular, we're fans of trippy rhythm games Rez Infinite and Thumper, both of which are also great outside VR. PlayStation VR Worlds might seem like just another minigame collection at first glance, but it's got at least one very substantive action experience, the Guy Ritchie-influenced London Heist.
|

Games like Rez, Thumper, and SuperHyperCube all show a different side of VR. Virtual reality has the potential to transport you just about anywhere so you can do just about anything, and to date developers have used that to let you climb Mount Everest or swim with realistic sharks.

Since launching in 2014, Hi-Rez Studios' multiplayer mythological game SMITE has eaten up more and more of the professional multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) market, bringing a higher level of competitiveness and seven-figure prize pools to a playing field previously dominated by League of Legends and DOTA.

We learned that Rez is about being a sperm, the average American player of the Monster Hunter series is almost ten years older than his or her Japanese counterpart, and that the standard gesture used to quit virtual reality games going forward may be to eat a burrito.

It's OutRun, the teddygirls sub-culture, Carly Rae Jepsen, Rez, cafe racers, WarioWare, Blümchen, the 1950s, modern dance, Akira, F-zero, Space Harrier, Sia, Gradius, the 1980s, Charli XCX, Sailor Moon, Ouendan, Tron, Rhythm Tengoku, Punch-Out, and a good portion of ourselves, strangeness and mysticism stuffed into a blender.

So then, it's more than Rez in feel—when it's properly singing, tasking the player with navigating their ship on the left stick and lining up shots with the right, there's a rising whisper of Gitaroo Man to proceedings, just with more Katy B and Flux Pavilion, and less "Legendary Theme".

Rez, when it came out for PS2 and Dreamcast in 2001, felt like a game from somewhere other than the present, a hypnotic missive sent back from the future by an optimistic time-traveller, played on a medium that wasn't quite ready to deliver that message in the way intended.

Mizuguchi started the project out of an interest in virtual reality, and while it can be played without it, the kind of psychedelic experience you'll get while playing is ideal for VR. Now, if only it came with the full-body, vibrating "synesthesia suit" prototype that the Rez team showed fans last year.

Although this cut is a celebrity favorite, this change is a bit more drastic for Benson, considering she's rocked bright blonde hair for years, and just last month, she refreshed her look with some long extensions and sun-kissed highlights, courtesy of Matt Rez at Mèche Salon and extensions expert Violet Teriti.

And because a lot of times, it's harder for, and not as inclusionary in a lot of neighborhoods for girls to play pickup, but you'll see there [on the rez], you'll see that it's every bit as much of pull-up, crossover in somebody's face and then let the crowd know what you just did.

This included titles like Ubisoft's For Honor and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands; Telltale Games' The Walking Dead and Minecraft: Story Mode; Hi-Rez Studios' SMITE and Paladins; Paradox Interactive's Tyranny; Trion Worlds' Atlas Reactor; Double Fine Productions' Broken Age and Psychonauts; Campo Santo's Firewatch; Jackbox Games' Jackbox Party Pack 3; and Digital Extremes' Warframe, and others.

They become habitués at the diner, the multiplex, the mall, the various churches, the outdoor bazaars, the folk museums, the roadside zoos, the bookstores, the auditorium of the local college, even at the laundromats, where they sit, sometimes for hours, observing the tide of Native users washing in and out, although Javier's rez boy is not among them.

Given that, it's... If you read our coverage of Tokyo Game Show earlier this month, you'll know that Rez is my favorite game of all time, and that the new version for PlayStation VR is its most spectacular iteration... On Monday night, the two candidates running to be president of the United States will square off in the first debate.

But each year, the debate rages on: Which will be this year's definitive bong of the summer—the one that you'll look back on when cold weather sets in, perhaps catching a whiff on the autumn breeze, flooding your senses with a wave of nostalgia and musty rez for the glorious highs of long days at the beach, and longer nights falling in love to that bong in the background?

Final call, and as tempted as I am to claim the NES Classic Mini as a qualifying compilation package, rather than a piece of hardware, or Rez Infinite's hypnotic Area X as a game in and of itself, I'll instead celebrate the terrific puzzler Picross 3D: Round 2, which has taken up residence in my 3DS recently and immediately put both Pokémon Sun and Fire Emblem Fates in the shade.
