Silicon Valley is currently seeing a confluence of events across gaming, music, and virtual reality, marked by both nostalgic revisitations and forward-looking technological developments. According to multiple news sources, these events include a renewed interest in id Software's early first-person adventure game, "Catacomb 3D," alongside controversy surrounding Meta's VR studio closures and Square Enix's release of "Dragon Quest VII Reimagined."
John Romero, co-founder of id Software, recently reunited with the company's founding members to revisit "Catacomb 3D," a game that directly preceded and inspired their work on the groundbreaking first-person shooter, "Wolfenstein 3D," Ars Technica reported. The retrospective video on the creation of the game was released nearly 35 years after its initial launch. "Catacomb 3D" is remembered for its pioneering features, including mouse support and color-coded doors.
In the virtual reality space, Meta faced criticism for closing VR studios, impacting users of the fitness game "Supernatural," according to reports. This decision has sparked controversy within the VR community.
Meanwhile, Square Enix released "Dragon Quest VII Reimagined," a remake aimed at attracting new players to the classic role-playing game.
Adding to the diverse range of events, there's also renewed interest in M83's early post-rock album "Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts."
