We are witnessing the gradual emergence of a new genre of VR game right before us. - Road to VR

The popular VR game Echo VR may no longer be available, but its unique arm-based movement system is being adopted by a new wave of VR games. Echo VR, along with its single-player counterpart Lone Echo, revolutionized movement in VR by allowing players to navigate in zero-G environments using only their arms. This concept has since been further developed and popularized by other games like Gorilla Tag, Nock, Space Ball, and Phantom Covert Ops. These games, both multiplayer and single-player, have received positive reviews and are inspiring a growing demand for more arm-based locomotion experiences. Upcoming titles like Underdogs and the spiritual successor to Echo VR, currently known as Project A2, demonstrate the continued interest in this form of movement in VR. It seems that controlling your arms with your arms is proving to be more engaging than using thumbsticks for leg movement, and this new genre of arm-based movement games may shape the direction of movement in future VR games.
