Catan VR brings gaming fun across more realistically than ever before

While updates to the cult game "The Settlers of Catan" have appeared again and again in recent years, the whole thing has reached its digital climax with the new VR version. If you believe the current information, the comprehensive update should be published in 2017. To make all of this possible, the game's developers have teamed up with the VR studio "Experiment 7". By their character, they have explicitly specialized in the VR area and the creation of strategy games for this segment. The teaser of the new game is already very promising at this point in time:

• You can see the inventor of the game, Klaus Teuber
• He shares his relationship with the game and the story
• A short time later, Teuber's son presented Catan VR to his father

Samsung Gear VR and Oculus Rift are compatible with the game

However, it remains to be seen how the game will be implemented, which will be implemented with the Samsung Gear VR as well as the Oculus Rift will be compatible. There are quite a few challenges in the course of the transfer to the digital world. Which glasses gamers ultimately choose is up to them in any case. However, you can at least get an impression of the advantages and disadvantages from the table below:

While the Samsung glasses are lighter, the Oculus Rift scores with a much wider field of vision. However, it is not compatible with Android, so most people prefer the Samsung version.

Even the very first version of the game was well received by gamers

If you look back at the history of the game "The Settlers of Catan", the very first version was already well received by the players:

1. First release in 1995
2. Three to six players
3. Duration approx. 75 minutes

In the first year of its appearance, the game won numerous awards, including those for “Game of the Year”, the “German Games Prize” and the “Essener Feder”. The game material consists of a wide variety of objects such as landscape fields, sea fields, resource cards and lots of game figures. Meanwhile, the latest version of the board game - excluding the upcoming VR version - is called "Catan - The Game" and scores over various other board games with many innovative ideas.

VR technology is finding its way into games in more and more areas

One of the points that probably motivated Klaus Teuber and his team to jump on the bandwagon of VR games is the enormous popularity that the technology has now achieved with gamers. Almost all genres now have VR versions of their games in their range, including the following:

• Racing games
• Shooter
• Platformer
• Science fiction

What could be presented just as often as VR version in the future are online casinos. At the moment, however, the question still arises as to what an exact design could look like. Nonetheless, online casinos are, above all, the Classic game Book of Ra, highly regarded by players from all over the world. The same applies to the classics among casino games such as poker, roulette and blackjack.
