The VR Awards 2019 are gearing up to take place in November. That’s a little ways off, but the group is ready to announce finalists this week.
Some 12 categories feature in this year’s show. They include Hardware of the Year, which features contenders like Oculus Quest, HTC’s Vive Pro Eye, and HP’s Reverb. Meanwhile, Film of the Year recognizes the likes of Baobab’s Crow: The Legend and Breaking Fourth’s Lucid among others. Experience of the Year, meanwhile, includes the first episode of Vader Immortal and Start VR’s Awake.
As for VR Game of the Year? It’s a lengthy list stretching the entire year. There’s Ninja Theory’s Hellblade VR, Astro Bot, Firewall and Transpose from last year. But there are also more recent releases like Vacation Simulator, Blood & Truth and A Fisherman’s Tale.
