Epic makes VR tech demo with FPS Bullet Train

The station agent.

Unreal Engine and Gears of War developer Epic has put together an Oculus-based tech demo called Bullet Train.

Set in a train station, you're accosted by all manner of enemy soldiers and some sort of flying multi-armed droid. The kicker is that much of it occurs in slow-motion while you use the Oculus Touch controller to grab an array of firearms as you live out your Wachowski-inspired action fantasies.

Bullet Train is being demoed at Oculus Connect 2, but you can watch video of it right here:
