‘Gone’ is a VR thriller from the ‘Walking Dead’ team
While playing games and watching 360-degree videos in virtual reality is fun, the medium is so powerfully immersive that it seems to beg for something more compelling; something that goes beyond just VR versions of existing content. That’s the idea behind Gone, a recent collaboration between Samsung and Skybound Entertainment — the production company behind the Walking Dead TV series — that’s described as a serialized virtual reality thriller. After a glimpse at the first episode and a chat with a few people behind the scenes of the project, I can say that it’s a piece of content that is absolutely unique to VR, making me more intrigued than ever at VR’s narrative possibilities.
