You may be familiar with Penn & Teller Smoke and Mirrors for SEGA CD, a daft minigame compilation designed specifically to scam your friends with. It never came out, but titles like Desert Bus have become urban legends, prompting remakes of their own. Now the American duo are back with PlayStation VR release Penn & Teller VR: F U, U, U, & U, which is due out on 9th July.
That name, by the way, stands for Penn & Teller VR: Frankly Unfair, Unkind, Unnecessary, & Underhanded – which sounds like a great way to describe one of the included minigames, where you’re supposed to lure pals into smashing real-world eggs. Look, it’s clearly not going to win any awards, but at least it’s being sold on the basis of how utterly pointless it actually is.

Loved the trailer. 😂
For how long have Americans been using "announce" when they mean "announcement"?
For their first trick, put PSVR in the announce trailer.
I don't know, looks like a decent collection of oddball minigames to me. Though they should have called it something interesting like "P&T: The Magicians Apprentice". While they didn't show it, laying down inside a box while you get cut in half could be kind of creepy. And they need the scene from "1984" where the box gets strapped to your head and rats chew your face off. (Not to be confused w/ a similar scene in GoT which wouldn't work as well.)
I'm guessing it will be overpriced regardless. I'm thinking it should be $14.99, buy it on sale for $1.99, but that's just me.
That egg thing is kinda funny, once, but what else could they do? Show earthworms and put your hand in a bowl of cooked spaghetti. Or show a pile of manure, put your hand in some warm pudding. Chocolate pudding, not breakfast sausage or whatever you call it over there.
Sequel - "P&T: Frat House Initiation Party".
@RainbowGazelle im sorry i guess us americans are dumb.
@ellsworth004 Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude, I'm just genuinely curious, as it's not something I had encountered until very recently.
@RainbowGazelle It's honestly the first time I've seen it; it is weird.
A sort-of-sequel to Smoke & Mirrors? Who would've thunk a 25 year old cancelled Sega CD game would get VR follow up.
@RainbowGazelle for as long as they have been saying things like "out may five" instead of "may fifth" in film trailers
