MetaShot VR Cricket Bat – how’s it a game changer for cricket enthusiasts
For any cricket fan, the dream of stepping onto the field, facing a searing yorker, and sending the ball sailing over the boundary is a powerful one.
But can you imagine doing that from the comfort of your bedroom? The Bengaluru-based gaming startup MetaShot claims to make that dream a virtual reality with its recently launched MetaShot VR Cricket Bat or MetaShot Smart Bat, a bat that simulates sensations from both a console and a real bat.
Gameplay
Gone are the days of button-mashing cricket games. MetaShot thrusts you into the heart of the action.
The cricket bat itself is light and responsive, and tracks every swing to near perfection translating them into powerful drives and delicate flicks with impressive accuracy. The haptic feedback is a game-changer, mimicking the satisfying thwack of willow on leather and the ground-shaking tremor of a big six. Each shot feels impactful, urging you to perfect your technique and master the art of timing.
The game itself offers a variety of modes, from practice nets to full-fledged matches against AI opponents. Interestingly, AI bowlers are no pushovers, adapting their tactics and exploiting your weaknesses, keeping you on your toes throughout the match.
