C-Smash VRS – last year’s well-recieved PSVR2 update of Sega’s cult 2001 arcade and Dreamcast sci-fi sports game Cosmic Smash – is wiggling out of its headset to get a non-VR edition on PlayStation 5, also available to existing owners, later this year.
The original Cosmic Smash offered something like a futuristic blend of Breakout and squash, taking players on a sci-fi subway ride between stages challenging them to clear blocks at the end of a long room using a ball and racquet, all within a time limit.
Last year’s PSVR2 reimagining from developer Wolf & Wood – which is making its way to Meta Quest 2/3/Pro and Pico 4 headsets from today, 4th April – adapted the formula to support first-person, motion-tracked racquet-smashing. As for the newly announced non-VR version, officially titled C-Smash VRS – New Dimension, it restores the third-person action of the Dreamcast and arcade originals with full controller support.
