New VR Game Makes You a "Hollywood Hacker"

Posted by Unknown on from the hacking-the-gibson dept.

An anonymous reader writes "An upcoming VR game for the Oculus Rift aims to let players 'be a Hollywood Hacker.' Listing inspirations from 'Johnny Mnemonic, Hackers, The Lawnmower Man, and the TRON films,' Polygon claims that the game 'does an amazing job at exploring those hacking tropes and often silly visuals to give the player a sense of control and power. This is "real life" hacking as filtered through a Michael Bay fever dream.'"

    Hmm maybe this is how they've been hacking bitcoins.

    Other than the VR gimmick, does it do anything that Uplink , a simulator of Hollywood hacking that Slashdot covered over a decade ago, doesn't?
