What is Firewall Ultra?
Firewall Ultra is the next evolution of the Firewall series following 2018’s hit PS VR shooter, Firewall Zero Hour. In the primary PvP game mode called Contracts, his two teams of four pit themselves against each other in three consecutive matches featuring tense and tactical combat on various maps.
In each match, the defending team uses a variety of gadgets and weapons to protect a laptop full of sensitive information, while the attacking team evades security access points to attempt to hack the laptop. Tools at your disposal include proximity mines that can be strategically placed to catch attackers by surprise, and door blockers to fortify your position. Attackers must carefully roam the map and work together as a team to decipher the information before time runs out.
It’s important to always be aware of your surroundings while playing Firewall Ultra. Even the dark, dilapidated corners of a nighttime outdoor map like the oil rig seen in the gameplay trailer, or an indoor map like The Office can get incredibly dark and dangerous. Unreal Engine 5 delivers dynamic lighting and realistic shadows for incredible tension, immersion and visual fidelity in real time.

Firewall Ultra uses eye tracking in a number of ways to enhance the actual gameplay. For example, you can physically close your eyes to avoid the glare of a flashlight. You can also close your non-dominant eye when aiming your gun to further reduce your field of view and increase your accuracy a bit. Both of these are things players do naturally while playing, so they reward you for being immersed in the experience, being immersed, and being immersed.
Eye tracking allows you to quickly switch weapons on the fly without taking time out of the action. Thanks to PS VR2’s powerful his 4K HDR**, you can always see the world clearly with foveal rendering. screen.
Play one of the darker maps and wait until you witness the dynamic lighting from the side barrel flashlight attachment for the first time. Nothing else like this.
Finger touch detection and adaptive triggers further improve control, letting you feel different resistance levels for each weapon in your hand. Pulling the trigger on a pistol is completely different from triggering a sniper rifle, and experiencing the intense tactile kickback of a shotgun is incredibly intuitive. With the PlayStation VR2 Sense controller, you can flip the knife with your fingers for a stealthy takedown, or show off to your friends this agile hand move. You can even send realistic hand signals and silent commands to team members for added tactical realism and interactivity. The PS VR2 Sense controller delivers an incredibly immersive gaming experience.
