Japanese mobile developer DeNA has released a mobile first-person shooter for Samsung Gear VR virtual reality helmets. The game is called Protocol Zero.
“With the help of Oculus and Samsung, virtual reality is about to enter every home,” said Barry Dorf, one of DeNA’s vice presidents. We are glad that we were among the first developers who were lucky enough to bring this amazing gaming experience to the player.”
This is not the first mobile shooter for VR helmets. However, since the market has not yet been mastered, each such game is an event.
Recall that the virtual reality helmet works on the basis of a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 smartphone. The user interacts with the game using a trackpad and head movements.

DeNA is one of the largest gaming companies in Japan. It became popular in the mid-noughties by launching the Mobage gaming platform. Today it is one of the monopolists of the mobile market in the Land of the Rising Sun. Without cooperation with Mobage a year or two ago, it was difficult to reach the Japanese top.
