The excellent Bill Murray movie Groundhog Day is getting a sequel in the shape of Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son, but it’s not going to shown on movie screens, it’s going to be for PlayStation VR.
In Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son, you’ll play the charming but arrogant Phil Connors Jr., who grew up in the shadow of his father — a man who spent a lifetime repeating a single day until he had made it perfect. But for Phil Jr., today is the worst day of his life. He’s trapped back home in Punxsutawney, the small town he thought he’d escaped — where he can’t even get a decent cappuccino — and he’s going to have to repeat the day over and over until he learns the true value of friends and family.
The game is being created by Tequila Works and will be published by Sony Pictures Virtual Reality.

Sounds a bit rubbish. Am I right or am I right…right right right!

It’s from the people that did The Invisible Hours. That was an interesting VR experiment and well worth checking out. They clearly know how to tell stories in VR and build something that works in a not necessarily linear way. Invisible Hours is several stories all happening simultaneously in different parts of a house.
So I’m intrigued by what they could do with this.
