The Zombieland movie series, which so far includes Zombieland and Zombieland: Double Tap, is making its way to virtual reality through Zombieland VR: Headshot Fever. Developed by XR Games, who previously put out The Angry Birds Movie 2 VR: Under Pressure, the title will launch on PlayStation VR at some point later this year — it's making its way to other VR headsets in the spring, meaning we'll have to wait a little bit longer.
Tallahassee, Wichita, Columbus, and Little Rock return as the main characters as they launch a zombie-killing racecourse named Zombieland Invitational in Silicon Valley. Judging by the announcement trailer above, you'll be taking part in that very competition. The game also features a sort of bullet-time mode, where popping off two headshots in a row slows the entire world down to let you boost your combos and get faster times to post on the leaderboard. It'll be dubbed the Adrenaline system.
As part of a press release, XR Games founder and CEO Bobby Thandi explained how excited the team is to be working on the Zombieland IP. "The Zombieland world is a no-nonsense kind of place, and to this end we’ve made one of the purest shooting games for VR. We hand crafted the content, upping replayability, and incorporated mechanics from racing games such as time splits so you know exactly how well you’re doing. It's about practising 'til you're perfect. Your speed and accuracy with each shot is imperative to score the fastest time."
You'll be able to compete with your friends on a global leaderboard, unlock better weapons to improve your loadout and further enhance them with perks, and pop off some headshots in a game "built for VR from the ground up".

The second movie is one of the worst movies I’ve seen in a long while so can’t say I’m too excited about this. The first movie wasn’t terrible back when it came out though.
Wasn't the game version of double tap awful?
"When the virus struck, the first ones to go, for obvious reasons... were the fatties. Rule Number 1 for surviving Zombieland... Cardio"
"Rule Number 2 for surviving Zombieland... The Double Tap. In those moments when you're not sure the undead are really dead dead, don't get all stingy with your bullets, take one more clean shot to the head. And this lady could've avoided becoming a human Happy Meal. Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda."
I want a God damn Twinkie!
This looks almost as awful as the sound a like voice actors
Looks terrible. Doesn't Sony publish the movies? Why on earth do they sell off the game rights to garbage developers? I'm assuming that's what they do.
With all due respect: why?
I still need to watch the sequel, but hard pass on this game.
