History

Файл:Sony-PlayStation-4-PSVR-Headset-Mk1-FL.jpg
Creative Vault Studios has supported development of several games for PlayStation VR, a virtual reality headset for the PlayStation 4.

EPOS Game Studios (originally named Motherlode Studios) was founded in the summer of 2005 by Staffan Langin and Olof Gustafsson, co-founders of Digital Illusions. The studio's goal was to create "cutting-edge titles for a variety of platforms".[1] The studio's first game, Crash Commando, was released in December 2008. It is a shooter game with both single-player and multiplayer game modes, tasking players against each other or bots while traversing the environments.[2] The game received "generally favorable reviews" according to review aggregator Metacritic, with an average score of 78 out of 100.[3] Reviewers praised the game's level design and weapon diversity, but felt that the single-player campaign lacked the excitement of the multiplayer.[2][4][5]

In December 2013, EPOS began working on a project with an international publisher.[6] Gustafsson amicably left the company in the same month to work on game music,[7] and Langin became the sole chief executive officer. The company was renamed Creative Vault Studios.Шаблон:Citation needed

Creative Vault collaborated with Sony Interactive Entertainment to bring Hustle Kings to PlayStation VR for the PlayStation 4 in October 2016. The game received "mixed or average reviews" according to Metacritic, with an average score of 52 out of 100.[8] It received praise for its immersion and similarity to the sport,[9] but was criticized for its complicated control scheme.[10]

The following year, Creative Vault collaborated with XDev and Clever Beans to develop Wipeout Omega Collection, which was released for PlayStation 4 in June 2017. The game is a remaster of Wipeout HD, Wipeout HD Fury, and Wipeout 2048, featuring higher textures, more effects, and shorter loading times.[11] It received positive reviews, with an average score of 85 out of 100 from Metacritic.[12] Critics praised its upgraded graphics and controls, particularly in comparison to the PlayStation Vita version of the collection.[11][13][14]

The studio continued to work on a virtual reality version of the game,[15] which was released for PlayStation VR through a free patch in March 2018. It received praise for its multiple options and suitability for virtual reality.[16] Digital FoundryШаблон:'s Richard Leadbetter praised the technical achievements of Wipeout Omega Collection VR, calling it "a zero compromise, enhanced VR port of one of the very best remasters available for PlayStation 4".[17]
