‘Paranormal Activity’ VR Game Coming in 2016
I can’t decide what sounds better, augmented reality ghosts or virtual reality ghosts, like the ones we’ll soon be seeing in the just-announced Paranormal Activity VR. Not content to be just another adaptation of a popular film franchise, this game will make full use of the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset and Sony’s Project Morpheus.
“Our goal is for the Paranormal Activity VR video game to not only be the scariest game you’ve ever played, but the scariest experience you’ve ever had,” claims the press release Paramount employed to quietly announce it.
Teaming up with a franchise like Paranormal Activity, which has established itself as a brand with significant worldwide appeal — albeit waning appeal — is the sort of thing that could help virtual reality see the mainstream success that many hope it will get when the headsets finally start shipping. And if it doesn’t, VR will always have a home in horror.
Paranormal Activity VR releases next year for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Other platforms, including mobile, were mentioned but nothing specific has been confirmed just yet.
The killer tomatoes are back in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, and the offiical poster for the brand new movie has been unleashed tonight.
Additionally, we’ve learned that the film’s theatrical release is set for this August, with a panel set for San Diego Comic-Con this month featuring the world premiere of the trailer.
While you wait, check out the official poster down below.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence will be released in select cities across the US beginning August 7th in major cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Diego, and others, and expanding to further locations throughout the month.
The fifth installment in the horror-comedy franchise pits the eternal power of nature against AI’s best and brightest.
In Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, a young biotech prodigy develops a revolutionary genetically engineered vegetable designed to solve humanity’s problems. But when the experiment spirals out of control, it unleashes a new generation of killer tomatoes, setting the stage for another outrageous chapter in the long-running cult franchise.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes co-creators Costa Dillon and J. Stephen Peace return to write and executive produce. David Ferino directs.
The film features an ensemble cast led by franchise icon John Astin (The Addams Family), reprising his role as Professor Gangreen, comedy legend David Koechner (Anchorman), Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), horror favorite Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier), comedy veteran Dan Bakkedahl (Veep), Myrna Velasco (Star Wars Resistance), Vernée Watson (Shrinking, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), and Paul Bates (Coming to America).
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes launched in 1979, followed by 1988’s Return of the Killer Tomatoes, 1991’s Killer Tomatoes Strike Back, and 1992’s Killer Tomatoes Eat France.
The franchise also spawned an animated series in 1990.
