All human life is finite and that is why you feel an explosion of life when something is destroyed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">According to Q-Games, the game uses point cloud rendering technology to create its unique visual style, and to also allow players to alter the world in various ways. The particle-heavy visuals give off a bit of a <em>Rez Infinite<\/em> vibe, which seems appropriate given how well that approached worked in VR, as <em>Dreams of Another<\/em> is heading to both PS5 and PS VR2.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Following the trailer, Kuramitsu said the game \u201cdefies the norms of shooting games. Rather than using weapons to harm or destroy, you use them to transform the abstract chaos and materialize the world around you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>Dreams of Another<\/em> is heading scheduled for release in 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/news\/523254\/dreams-of-another-pixeljunk-new-game\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sony revealed the latest in Q-Games\u2019 PixelJunk series during its State of Play presentation Wednesday, and it\u2019s a gorgeous shooter with a twist.
