Therefore, we highly recommend mounting your camera on top of your television with the lens pointing slightly downward toward your chest. The camera can only see items within its cone-shaped FOV (Field of View) so it's important to understand that Job Simulator uses almost all of this available tracked playspace. For now, I’ll wish for free or even paid DLC, but even if that never comes I’ll be keeping a close eye on what this clever dev is working on next.The PlayStation VR uses a single camera to track the movements of your hands (PS Move controllers) and head via visible light. II can’t help but long for more of Owlchemy’s humorous takes on other boring jobs like maybe a computer technician, or a USPS person behind the window. You can also pick a particular task to replay or play around in free mode. Upon completion you can replay each job again using Job Genie cartridges that enable low gravity mode or a high rate of object bounciness. My only moment of sadness came at the credits because I wanted more jobs to do. If you’re getting Sony’s headset, a demo of Job Simulator comes on the disc along with the seventeen other demos so you can see for yourself what you think. However, I rarely had tracking problems and almost never experienced wobble or shifting of the environment in PSVR. Having played on both Vive and PSVR I can say the game experience is ever so slightly better on HTC’s headset due to it’s superior tracking. You don’t have to take my word for it-Daney, Omar, and my wife were skeptical of the game’s premise until they went hands on with the title and each one played through a couple of jobs, laughing and smiling the entire time. Making soup? Why not combine a flower, wine cork, plum, and chocolate chip cookie? Why throw out that rancid donut when you could eat it instead and see what happens instead? The real fun of Job Simulator comes in combining objects in odd and hilarious ways to finish. Each job you’ll play through consists of about fifteen tasks that you can burn through if you simply did what you’re tasked with, but that’d be doing the game and yourself a grand disservice. At IndieCade I played through the Gourmet Chef job and I felt like I was a part of the cartoon world Owlchemy Labs created. Why? Because you can interact with just about everything and the jobs and items are real, making the whole game that much more relatable. Even with all of Sony’s marketing muscle behind The Heist it was Job Simulator that sold me on the magic and immersion of VR. It was at IndieCade 2016 on the HTC Vive and was only the second game I ever played in VR with The Heist being the first. I’ll never forget the first time I played Job Simulator. There are numerous pop culture references to laugh at-the game really is clever. Throughout these jobs you’ll find yourself on a reality TV cooking show with Ramsey Bot, learning how to cook the books as requested by your Office Space inspired boss, stuff a banana in the tailpipe of a car so it passes emissions, and more. My two favorites were easily gourmet chef and office worker with auto mechanic seeming to drag on a bit. You play a human in a museum that lets you simulate four jobs humans did long ago: an auto mechanic, a store clerk, an office worker, and a gourmet chef. The basic premise is by the year 2050 computers have taken over all human jobs and we now do who know’s what. I couldn’t help but chuckle at things like Ramen being called College Noodles or the method in which you burn a CD. What makes these jobs fun is the humor and wittiness the writers injected into the characters and throughout the objects you’ll interact with. But trust me, Owlchemy Labs’ VR exclusive title is a lot of fun, which surprised me because you’re tasked with completing mundane jobs. Hell, it doesn’t even look fun watching someone else play it. Let me get this out of the way right now-Job Simulator doesn’t sound fun on paper.
