Take it from someone who's played it: Thumper is freakin' rad. The aggressive rhythm game serves up a retina erasing concoction of Cool Running and Tron, where you control a bobsleigh-esque space beetle through neon environments, smashing against right-angle bends and breaking through gates. It's nauseating insanity.
And soon you'll be able to enjoy Drool's sensory overload on a PlayStation VR headset, as the title's been announced for Sony's magical mask. "Against our better judgement, we recently got the game running on PlayStation VR," developer Marc Flury explained on the PlayStation Blog. "We can confirm that not only is it intense, it's completely overwhelming."
He continued: "Developing for PlayStation VR has been so exciting because Thumper's gameplay translates perfectly and feels amazing on a high framerate display. At the same time, VR transforms the experience in ways that we didn't expect. We'll have more to say about Thumper VR soon, but one thing is for sure: the entire game will be playable in both 2D and VR."
The studio's targeting a release later this year, which should give you just enough time to stock up on sick bags.

My stomach's already doing somersaults.
I'm up for the 2D version. VR making my eyes bleed is exactley the type of mental image feeding my VRphobia.
This looks awesome!
Now I have to install some kinda hammock type floating so I can play this horizontal while floating...
Just got confirmation of my bonus for last year, it's coming in April so I'll be hiding some away ready for vr. If your wondering why I need to hide money away I have a wife and 2 daughters 11 and 14. All of which can spend money like it's going out of fashion. Games like this I hope will be fun fillers between larger releases,
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi nice, I'm gonna have an aerial rope attached to my back keeping my feet 6 inches off the ground for the true vr experience.
I am afraid yet excited at the same time.
"Thumper Will Make Your Eyes Bleed in PlayStation VR."
So will the VR price tag.
I can't wait!!! I remember when games started getting health warnings because of kids having seizures while playing games like Sonic. What kind of health warnings is Thumper VR going to need???
I can feel myself getting motion sickness already.
But it would be some of the best motion sickness ever.
@SkanetWasTaken My thoughts exactly.
